What do you get if you combine #Myspace & #Bluesky? It's ##SkySpace! https://skyspace.me/?youronly.one Now can someone combine #Friendster & Bluesky next? Or, maybe, #Plurk & Bluesky?
. @an says he wants https://spacehey.com to join the Fediverse.
@spacehey is a social-network that will likely remind you a lot of MySpace.
Looks fun!

"#MySpace pages, Media player skins, the eye searingly gaudy hot dog stand theme. These all were vectors for #selfexpression. But to offer these #freedoms, you have to trust the person operating your system, honour their agency, and respect them as a serious intellectual partner instead of a gibbering idiot to be manipulated for your own ends.

#Facebook flags #Linux topics as '#cybersecurity #threats — posts and users being blocked
I've got @cyd churning away, backing up my Twitter archive starting from day 1, back in 2009.
I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do with the account yet, but it seems like a good idea to grab the archive.
Unfortunately, deleting (almost) everything, squatting the username, and moving on seems like the path forward.
The #fediverse isn't a wholesale replacement, but it feels the most home-shaped, for now. Despite the exodus of normies to #bluesky, that platform makes my capitalism radar ping, so idk.
Predictably, because I'm old, I'm feeling nostalgic for forums and, like, #MySpace or something I guess. Actually, tbqh I never had a myspace account, but the vibes from that era were solid. Hand-writing HTML, serving it from URLs with tildes in the path…
Webrings! Remember webrings? Ah, what a time to have been alive haha
