The early internet was so human and genuine.

MODERATORS
Well... the type of stuff we long for are still around, it's just that we don't visit it as much anymore. Lemmy is a perfect example of this - it's around, it's better, but people still default to Reddit instead.
Old habits die hard. Plus reddit has a long-lasting reputation of hosting a lot of really awesome communities and discussion. It's a trove of knowledge lost in enshittification
Google search will be a lot less useful without Reddit results. It's coming.
... or whatever your search engine of choice.
This.
The old forums are often still up, and there are still actual humans there, sometimes. But nobody goes there, because nothing's happening there.
There was this programming forum (blitzforum.de) that I loved when I was a teenager. I spent so much time there and learned so much. I actually attribute a lot of my career to getting an early start there. But the forum is mostly dead nowadays. People still open the page every once in a while, but nobody posts there.
