Kids will never get to experience the fun of the old internet (early-2000s) which was just people testing crazy ideas, blowing off steam and making jokes. Now it’s one giant mutual surveillance machine where everyone is collectively deputized to seek out thought crimes. - Conspiracies

This is not true. There are plenty of places on the internet where snowflakes dare not tread. They arose as the result of the censorship of which you speak, and this is a good thing.

If you poke around, and behave yourself, and find the right places, you might be invited into those spaces. The magic is still there - it is just invitation only - which is NOT a good thing.

But at least it is there.

I just want to find out how to network (IRL) with people in my area. Not kidding.
