  • Same here, I was a super user back in the days, posted multiple posts and dozens of comments every day at the minimum. With the API fiascos I deleted all my posts, all my comments. Fuck reddit.

    I don’t care about toxicity, it’s the same everywhere, you wade through that. Toxic users is a thing, toxic management and platform is a whole other thing.

    So now it’s not just “bad CGI idea”, it’s “bad CGI idea generated by AI”.

    Next up: people investing billions in said cool looking bad CGI project only to find out none of it works and after wasting half a decade, they’ll come to the conclusion that they’ll need to invent a large transportation system with metal wheels that will run on a specialized track where you can add or remove carts as needed.

    It’s so bad that we don’t have any of this yet!

    Seriously, fuck Elon Musk for getting these scams popularized




  • UH OH!

    With ICQ I learned the social skills that I couldn’t on the real world because I had been bullied to near death. I talked to random people all over the world, learned that I could talk to girls without having to feel like shit.

    Used it so much, and with volume up, my upstairs neighbor thought I was watching the teletubbies all the time because of the UH OH!

    Met my first girlfriend this way, she was in Mexico, I was in Europe. Moved to Mexico to marry her (bad idea, she was rather manipulativr and a huge cheater as it turned out, got divorced) and lived in Mexico for samn near 20 years.

    To say that ICQ had a big positive influence in my life is an understatement, it changed my life beyond anything I’ve ever had before.

    Thank you.
