      I knew Instagram was privacy invasive long before I ever started using it. Still decided to use it for some reason. Anyways, glad to have my dopamine receptors back.

    I use Discord, though only in a web browser and only for semi-public chats. I might be using Discord less if I had gotten some friend groups onto something like Matrix.

    True story:

    When I was a kid I wrote a review for Dexter’s Laboratory on the internet. I wrote “I think the show fuckin sucks!”. I don’t know why. Again, I was like 10. AOL ratted me out to my parents somehow and I got banned from the dial-up for a week.

    I still have digiaids from Limewire back in the day. I also regularly type “magic” between a certain you and a tube and I have no idea who operates that site.
