 Just realized all of those platforms suck because people go on them to sell a version of themselves or actual goods and services, warps authenticity. I still remember 90s html chat rooms where everyone was just chatting anonymously about nonsense, not selling anything, and it was fun— maybe it was the novelty of the tech back then and that has also worn off. Blew my mind to talk to all age groups, people in the UK and Australia from my small town, but also could’ve been the fact that I was young. Maybe you cannot go back to that state of mind  ever regardless of tech.
