It was such an amazing time. Everyone always points to tech differences and tries to do stuff like Gemini, but the tech stack isn't the main problem. The big problem is the Internet was a reflection of real life, now it's largely just a reflection of more internet. Scroll all day, post, sleep, repeat... Doesn't leave much time to create anything worth scrolling, and the stuff that is gets lost in the sea of low effort shit posts. The software doesn't help, but mostly because of the UX. The actual tech is fine. Stuff is fast and batteries last 12 hours. We don't need simple lightweight versions of what we have, we need pagination, proboards-style UIs with large signatures and avatars, and to go do more stuff aside from endless fussing with tech stacks.
