Where IS everyone?

1 Name: Anonymous 2026-06-07 05:26
We live in an age where everyone is "terminally online", but nearly every platform is so boring and slow these days. I'm in dozens of Discord servers but only two or three are ever active. I miss the A.O.L. days where I could go into any given chatroom and it would be hopping no matter the time. Is everyone just on TikTok?

Everyone is either on instagram reels, tiktok, twitter, or discord.

That must be the answer. I don't use Twitter since I hate short-form text and I don't use Instagram because Tumblr has all the images that I need. I've avoided TikTok because I don't need the digital equivalent of crack. I'm still trying to find good content on Youtube.

Unfortunately the Youtube algorithm is such that you are unlikely to find good content nowadays. I don't really know how you would go about doing such a thing.

Same question. I have no fucking idea what people do online anymore, but sure they are addicted to it somehow.

The real people are all found on Tor, I2P, webrings, Yggdrasil and IRC channels.

Webrings, maybe. But the others are just memes.

I just got here from the ring, having a look around.
It really is a grim situation

Tor? Perhaps

Webrings? fuck hell no

Nobody uses webrings, because all of them end up being a weird circlejerk... Ring, circle, same fucking difference

Everyone is on social media and that killed off all the good places on the internet, unfortunately

Most "chronically online" people are just consuming short-form content for hours on end

Why would I hang out anywhere if there's nobody there? That's what everyone thinks nowadays. Nobody wants to hang around waiting for somebody. Especially when 'somebody' could take forever to show up.
(There were plenty of dead places then too. You were just the Tiktok equivalent of those times.)

NO ONE LIKES IDLING ANYMORE!
