    Let’s jump RIGHT back into another corporate owned social media site that will sell everyone’s data, enshittify, go public, and then squeeze everyone to death.

    Apparently we’re incapable of learning this lesson.

      This time they play the nostalgia card. People may get hooked by that.

    Don’t care, man. Facebook made me hate the whole concept of selling my friends and family to a corpo syndicate in order to… communicate with them. I can text, man.

    I’m good on social media. Used both Myspace and Facebook. My mental health is so much better not being on them.

    Making YET ANOTHER comeback!

    They are going to fuck it up, I guarantee it. AI everywhere and the most dog shit UI. Look at digg as an example.

    Tom isn’t a part of MySpace anymore. This is the same type of nonnews news as WinAmp is making a comeback.

    My favorite iteration of MySpace was the first one. No, not the social network with my friend Tom, I mean before that.

    The domain was owned by a company that had jumped on the bandwagon of offering online file storage, that thing which is now called cloud storage. Much like OneDrive or Google Drive, etc.

    MySpace offered 300MB for free, which was the largest I found at the time. Also the name actually made sense.

      That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation

        I just visited digg.com and got redirected to digg.com/tech. The article titles are

        • AI
        • Sabine Hossenfelder (the clickbait Eric Weinstein wannabe) and AI
        • Sandisk… And AI
        • AI
        • AI
        • AI
        • Business podcast about AI
        • Bug in app purchased by OpenAI

        And the content appears to be AI-generated summaries of Twitter conversations. Phenomenal.

        An older version of the website just redirected to digg.com/ai (“AI news, before it trends”, and the archived copy seems to have an ironically oversized Twitter logo).

        Poor Digg. If they’d only come around a year or two earlier, they could’ve made bank selling NFTs.

    Nice! That one Weird Al song will be relevant again! Unless it’s exactly like it was, HTML and all, I’m not going back. I still have my old profile in a zip file somewhere on my NAS.

        Apparently, everyone starts out as friends with An, the creator. I really hope he’s as wholesome as Tom was, because this project is kickass!

        Can we talk about how Tom got his gazillions, fucked off, and is leading a great life without being a blowhard self-important cunt? He’s the hero we didn’t know we had.
