I’m personally crossing my fingers for Discord.

    People do remember it with rose colored glasses - there were fewer niche communities, fewer lgtbq+ communities, slower connections, 240p video at best (so much anime I somehow watched like that… Sorry anime), sexism and racism in a more general way vs now as like society and particularly techie culture at the time in general, not being able to use the internet when someone needed to use the phone, and so on - but while we gained a lot with time that we take for granted now, we did lose stuff, too.

    I hope we can bring back something of the good that was lost, now and in the future, as well as find new good things.

    At least, surely, there will always be cat pics.
