I was on the Internet in the wild west period when you could just as easily stumble upon the kind of stuff you can only find on the dark web just making a Yahoo search.
Ahh the days of orgish, rotten, thisisacryforhelp, stile project, theync
Why, when I saw.my first decapitation video I was merely a boy!
Yeah, the internet used to be fucked. There were noooo rules. It was kinda like paradise but with landmines. Lots of landmines.
It still is very fucked especially sites like reddit sometimes
Edit: maybe i underestimated the internet a bit
Oh you sweet summer child. Reddit has moderation, administration, ...rules? Policies, terms of use?
Reddit is the Disney Channel.
The moderation took way too long but I understand that it could be even worse but the internet is still a fucked up place maybe less than before but still bad
It's not "oops, I accidentally stumbled upon a cache of child porn" fucked, like back in the early days of the WWW.
You'll run into fucked up people; but the content is like Sesame Street levels of fucked by comparison.
