IMHO, old internet started to slowly die with the introduction of MySpace, Digg, and even 4chan, I call the period of 2006 to 2010 the slow decline era, then 2010 to 2016 the rapid decline era. 2016 to 2022 is the "classic centralized internet era", and now we have the era of the "new centralized internet", characterized by the peddling of far-right ideologies of these centralized platforms, alongside with the potential rebirth of the old, decentralized internet.

15-20 years or so ago. Whenever smartphones became the dominant communications tool, and pretty much everyone had access to the internet from their pocket square.

Been online since '93 myself at pretty much the dawn of the World Wide Web.

You're not an internet veteran if you didn't get your start on ARPAnet

Ever since facebook

Sometimes wish we could go back to BBS's and MUDs

I downloaded my first image from internet in 92, just took a prolonged coffee break (a couple of kilobytes small b&w image).

You must have been in an American uni?
