@lilianalovesYOU And eventually we were able to have our own as well, except it was in a time when the internet turned to shit. Did our older peers leave a lasting impression on us when we were younger and then repeated it when it was our turn? Probably.

6bzt, definitely
@lilianalovesYOU And back then I saw everyone having social media accounts. My older cousin had one, and so did my teachers, hell even my parents had them! I almost wonder what made them sign up for such things.

@lilianalovesYOU Speaking of Facebook, I don't know why anyone would want to have their real names out in the open and casually overshare about the other members of their family, it feels alien just thinking about it.

Also the "advanced profanity filter" got in the way btw, it softened the quote without me realizing it

@lilianalovesYOU Pretty sure everyone hated Google+ back then. Also I think the "everyone wants to be on their dang phones" thing did exist back in the early 2010s, mainly with Facebook and Twitter and some other shit.

I apologize if this came off as sarcastic. I never paid attention to which people were staff, so this was a pleasant surprise to me.

@tidaljames Wow, never knew you were a moderator. Anyway, that is what I like to see, keep up the good work!

@tidaljames Yeah and all those accounts are gone now. I'm not sure if they deleted all their accounts or the moderation suddenly got better tenfold but either way that's a good thing. They were also really transphobic from what I've seen.

I love the block button. It keeps all the bullshit drama at bay.

@lilianalovesYOU We still had Flash games until 2021 came around, but I feel like there was nowhere to go so we all had to resort to using social media as a substitute of a 3rd place. I can't imagine how much worse it was for everyone younger than me

@lilianalovesYOU And the timing for a lot of us was just unfortunate. I remember having to spend my very first teenage years rotting in my room. I mean what could I have possibly done back then, go to the park or the mall? That wasn't even legal back then!

You appear to have trodden on a mine!

@lilianalovesYOU Yeah, pretty much. Also there's a lot of "I hate [ insert group ]" stuff on social media so I thought I'd do the same, just without the discrimination part. Looking back, I think it was hardly any better if at all.

@xeviant One final note: Congratulations on your tests! You deserve to take your break and take care of your mental health after taking those.

@xeviant Also I know that feeling when you're getting into a space and everyone has made their own friend groups and you're just left with no one to band with. Unlike my misanthropic phase, I have never been able to get over that feeling, sadly.

@xeviant It doesn't help when there are many individuals who would discriminate against innocents all because criminals were born the same way as them, and even argue said discrimination is justified by screeching about statistics and history.

@xeviant Thank you. I've been in that downward spiral for days on end, and just now I feel like I could put an end to it without it feeling forced. It's especially difficult to do when everyone does the things you just described to each other.

Why did I even think "I hate everyone" was an appropriate response to "I hate [ group of people ]"? Honestly, I'm glad I'm beginning to snap out of it.
