I miss the old internet, when I could post whatever I wanted, when people used the internet for fun. No cancel culture, no bragging, no guidelines, loads of good porn, trolls, conspiracy theories. No one would be offended, you don't have to be politically correct. Now it's like, Should I post this? Will anyone feel bad about it? Can it be said in society? Why should I be responsible/banned on the internet for saying something that has zero importance? If you don't like something, just ignore it. I also disagree with many comments/opinions, but I never report them, I either ignore them or see them as counterarguments. This problem exists in both spectrum (left and right) and it is worse in the GenZ. I, myself is a GenZ brat and I saw many of my friends post like they're trying to impress or get validation from people over internet. They want to be woke not because they want by themselves because other people want and it is the norm. and not about being woke only, I think they care more about what other people will think or his opinion will be accepted by the society or not than their own belief/thinking and they change their beliefs. For one example,I have no opinion over LGBT because it doesn't bother me, you have rights to do whatever you want, I have no problems, I don't care but why I can't say Gay as joke, I am not telling you, the man I am saying to is okay with it then why you have problems? I don't get people now-a-days. It is like a binary system. I miss my school days, the internet and those janitors were fun, what happened to you guys?? Please comeback. Do you think the same or I am just overthinking P.S. Forgive my English :((
Kinda cringe

You missed a few words buddy: fascist, neo-nazi, climate change denier, capitalist, white supremacist.
and why do you think I am those?
AI porn, can’t wait
I don’t miss this period of the internet because its supposed benefits didn’t contribute to society in a meaningful way. Here’s what some of the touted benefits you listed really mean… “No cancel culture, no guidelines” = Permission to be bigoted without consequence. “Loads of good porn” = Pornography that was frequently forced or coerced. Personally I wish that everyone was forced to use their real identity in their online profiles.
Cool story bro. No one agrees
Basically getting rid of people's right to anonymity. Kudos!
the internet used to be this thing on the side where you had fun. now it’s too connected to real life, too serious and too corporate

Facebook killed anonymity on the Internet which led to a lot of the behaviors you're talking about. And here we are on Blind trying to get that anonymity back.
Half the people here were probably like 8 years old when the iPhone was released.
You can still post whatever on your WordPress blog as we did before the corporate buyout of user-generated content.
