Is that really "the old Internet" though? That seems more like the Internet from like... 15 years ago maybe? That's definitely not "the old Internet" lol I'm pretty sure people still do this don't they? I don't have any real social media accounts anymore so I haven't really kept up with it

People don't really do away messages anymore... that was over 20 years ago on AIM.

The internet from 15 years ago is the old internet for anyone under 30.

And anyone over 30 is obviously a Boomer so we can safely disregard their perspective.

Fuck man, my oldest is 15 now lol. He’s about to be the same age as I was when I was first dating the girl that I’m with now.

I disregard everything anyone says so maybe that’s either delusionment or enlightenment. Time will tell
