MySpace

Strange as it may seem but MySpace isn’t entirely dead.

When Zuckerberg announced his removal of any pretense of moderation on Faceboot I started to look for something else.

I have replaced twitter with bluesky and I feel all the better for it but I couldn’t find anything Facebookesque.

I assumed MySpace was long gone but exists it does. It’s just very empty.

All the music feeds have gone, the people have gone but the site remains.

It might be fun to reactivate or sign up to colonise the space.

I’m using mine as an online art gallery at the moment. I could see it as a fun way of journaling or publishing poetry etc.

If doing the same or similar interests you I recommend you avoid the app. It is run by an ad company and every swipe and every four key entries will trigger an very long unskippable advert for rubbish phone games. Some were so long tgey had mini ads interrupting the maxi ads.

Use a browser with an ad blocker. Brave is a good example I guess. I was pleasantly suprised by the old school charm of it.

Thanks guys. I guess im hoping that people with old Myspace accounts will dust them off and use them. An older Internet vibe before it became fashionsble to hate again.
