Don’t care, man. Facebook made me hate the whole concept of selling my friends and family to a corpo syndicate in order to… communicate with them. I can text, man.
Let’s jump RIGHT back into another corporate owned social media site that will sell everyone’s data, enshittify, go public, and then squeeze everyone to death.
Apparently we’re incapable of learning this lesson.
Yes. 💪😎✌️
This time they play the nostalgia card. People may get hooked by that.
How many animated gifs can you have on your page?
How many times will MySpace come back??
A hedge fund that bought the name to milk nostalgia is coming back
I’m good on social media. Used both Myspace and Facebook. My mental health is so much better not being on them.
Tom isn’t a part of MySpace anymore. This is the same type of nonnews news as WinAmp is making a comeback.
Crazy to think this site single-handedly had cheerleaders learning HTML back in the day
Making YET ANOTHER comeback!
Pretty sure this one will end as well as the last one.
Fourth time’s the charm!!
I’ve heard this every 3 years since I stopped using MySpace.
They are going to fuck it up, I guarantee it. AI everywhere and the most dog shit UI. Look at digg as an example.
Nice! That one Weird Al song will be relevant again! Unless it’s exactly like it was, HTML and all, I’m not going back. I still have my old profile in a zip file somewhere on my NAS.
SpaceHey is exactly like old school Myspace
Apparently, everyone starts out as friends with An, the creator. I really hope he’s as wholesome as Tom was, because this project is kickass!
My favorite iteration of MySpace was the first one. No, not the social network with my friend Tom, I mean before that.
The domain was owned by a company that had jumped on the bandwagon of offering online file storage, that thing which is now called cloud storage. Much like OneDrive or Google Drive, etc.
MySpace offered 300MB for free, which was the largest I found at the time. Also the name actually made sense.
Thanks MySpace!! You reminded me that Digg is trying to be a thing again too!!
That already fell apart, they gave up after the site got overrun with bots. Coincidentally, they were planning to use “AI” to run parts of the site, including moderation
I just visited digg.com and got redirected to digg.com/tech. The article titles are
- AI
- Sabine Hossenfelder (the clickbait Eric Weinstein wannabe) and AI
- Sandisk… And AI
- AI
- AI
- AI
- Business podcast about AI
- Bug in app purchased by OpenAI
And the content appears to be AI-generated summaries of Twitter conversations. Phenomenal.
An older version of the website just redirected to digg.com/ai (“AI news, before it trends”, and the archived copy seems to have an ironically oversized Twitter logo).
Poor Digg. If they’d only come around a year or two earlier, they could’ve made bank selling NFTs.
Well clearly nothing could go wrong with that, right? …right?
A few more moves like this and “two cans and a string” will finally take off. I’ve been saving cans and string all my life, just for this near future moment. My ship will finally come in and now everyone who is sorry will be sorry! /s
Perfect, they can now lose all your data a second time.
