Digital Cargo Cult: How Zoomers Ruined Old Internet Nostalgia

[tmg86]

That aside, I'm gonna look into self-hosting and maybe get my own server, and learning PHP/MySQL for those things, because I see the advantages in doing those things.

You can get old Core2, or early Core systems for free or next to nothing.

I banned him because he is clearly not capable of having a discussion without being judgemental and extremely rude, also, gatekeeping nostalgia is such a boomer thing to do.That aside, I'm gonna look into self-hosting and maybe get my own server, and learning PHP/MySQL for those things, because I see the advantages in doing those things.

Yeah, I was already planning on self hosting an I2P mirror of my website before all this. But this actually motivated me to do it. So in a weird way, they got their wish. Just not in the way they were expecting.

You did right, he was really rude and accusing with everyone, I still don't understand what was the purpose of his thread if he doesn't wanted to know and debate (politely) about his point of view and the forum's members opinions

Btw, I wanted to thanks every forum members who participed to the thread for your great behavior, you're all replied and debated in a calm and civil manner, without insulting or provoking. I'm proud of you all

I do take constructive criticism to heart but I didn't like the way that guy was acting bashing other people for liking a thing. Just too toxic behavior.

yeah. to shame people because it's not "easy" for them to self-host is just stupid. and i'm saying this as someone who thinks self-hosting is a good thing. i also didn't like how that guy undermined daniele's coding skills just because he was hosting on neocities and proboards. like HE MADE A VIDEO PLAYER WEBPAGE THAT LOOKS LIKE A TV! THAT IS SO COOL AND IMPRESSIVE! and you're gonna act like he isn't trying to learn about coding just because he isn't self-hosted on day 1.

Restored this post as I figured out how to change the post author back to who it actually was (rave), though that means I had to remake his account.

Given that he showed screenshots from Reddit and gave NO constructive criticism about our like for the aesthetic, it looked more like a snark poster who was trying to "debate" for clout, or was debating for the sake of debating.

It was a good idea to ban 'im otherwise I was about to go on a full rant about how I lived through the era and completely understand why people saw (AND still see) the appeal of it to this day.

tl;dr of the rant: The aesthetic felt creative and refreshing (in my brain frutiger aqua is literally a glass of water and frutiger eco reminds me of my childhood in the park) and the deevolution into flat design just made room for oversimplification...

Yeah, his dislike of reddit was ironic, considering he was acting like just a capital r Redditor. He definitely just made this to feel superior more than to actually teach people.
