    Let’s jump RIGHT back into another corporate owned social media site that will sell everyone’s data, enshittify, go public, and then squeeze everyone to death.

    Apparently we’re incapable of learning this lesson.

    Crazy to think this site single-handedly had cheerleaders learning HTML back in the day

    Don’t care, man. Facebook made me hate the whole concept of selling my friends and family to a corpo syndicate in order to… communicate with them. I can text, man.

    They are going to fuck it up, I guarantee it. AI everywhere and the most dog shit UI. Look at digg as an example.

    My favorite iteration of MySpace was the first one. No, not the social network with my friend Tom, I mean before that.

    The domain was owned by a company that had jumped on the bandwagon of offering online file storage, that thing which is now called cloud storage. Much like OneDrive or Google Drive, etc.

    MySpace offered 300MB for free, which was the largest I found at the time. Also the name actually made sense.

      That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation

        I just visited digg.com and got redirected to digg.com/tech. The article titles are

        And the content appears to be AI-generated summaries of Twitter conversations. Phenomenal.

        An older version of the website just redirected to digg.com/ai (“AI news, before it trends”, and the archived copy seems to have an ironically oversized Twitter logo).

        Poor Digg. If they’d only come around a year or two earlier, they could’ve made bank selling NFTs.

    I’m good on social media. Used both Myspace and Facebook. My mental health is so much better not being on them.

        Can we talk about how Tom got his gazillions, fucked off, and is leading a great life without being a blowhard self-important cunt? He’s the hero we didn’t know we had.

    Firet sentence in the article

    Social network MySpace is reportedly planning to make a comeback

    No. Planning to make a comeback is not the same as making a comeback. You are making a comeback when lots of people are actually using your site.

        Oh god not again!!! MySpace Tom is about to kidnap people in vans, and shoot innocent people on the street while taking no responsibility in the slightest.

        What? That’s what happened last time someone trying to make a comeback said that. Look what happened within a year.

    Tom isn’t a part of MySpace anymore. This is the same type of nonnews news as WinAmp is making a comeback.
