why a blog?
Beyond just the fact that most of the major social media platforms are run by fascists now, I decided to start a blog because I missed out on the early days of the internet. I was born in 2008, so while I did get things like GirlsGoGames and Instagram with the old logo, I was never on MySpace or Livejournal. My cringey middle school fan pages were on now-deleted Instagram or Twitter accounts instead of a badly-designed personal website. The only forum site I've ever used is Reddit. And I think that's sad.
I yearn for an internet with little to no ads. Where my feed shows me things I've already manually inputted as interests of mine, instead of content picked specifically to piss me off. Where being able to connect with someone living on the other side of the world still has a feeling of novelty to it, instead of being taken for granted. Most of all, I yearn for an internet that feels like it belongs to the people, not corporations. Where we can all point to our own little blogs and websites, say "this is my little corner of the world-wide web," and really feel like it's ours.
