Small forums where everybody knew everybody (there's still some kicking around). Personal websites/blogs were fun. I think they could make a comeback now that it's easier than ever to host and big social media is going to poo.

The web version is fairly usable on Android IMO. I prefer web clients over apps so this is a plus for me. There are lots of bugs and the overall experience is pretty rough around the edges but I'm sure the experience will improve over time.
I also fit the description. I wonder if I see the internet differently having grown up pre Web 2.0. With tech corporations cracking down on user freedoms, I can't imagine jumping ship, say from Twitter to Meta, and expecting to be treated any differently.
As a nerd, I'll use a platform that works the way I want, even before the content is there. Hopefully as the amount of content grows it gets more diverse and normies will take interest.
