It's the old internet. I started having meaningful interactions again when I deleted most my social media accounts and rediscovered IRC and other platforms alike.

I started consuming quality content again when i replaced youtube with a FOSS wrapper that allows me to avoid the algorithm and ads, started torrenting books and getting my news through RSS feeds.

I started having fun again when I stopped using Steam and replaced it with oldschool LAN parties with my friends.

And before you accuse me of nostalgia, I never went to a LAN party when I was young, nor did I use IRC that much (the internet was expensive!).

Yes, the old internet was and still is better.
