- 8n4vidtmkvmk 3y agoWas there a time when people were friendlier on the internet? I actually think the internet is a little more civilized. HN is pretty good, and even on Reddit there's lots of pleasant interactions. Prior to that, all I remember is flame wars in random forums. Maybe I was young and dumb and baitable.
