I haven’t heard anything about them in quite a while. It’s like they were a hot-button topic of conversation, and then everyone just stopped talking about them. If they’re still around, what would be the reason they seemingly disappeared from the news?

      It’d be genuinely moving, if it was about anything else. The last hold outs of a wilder Internet? I’d cry. A bunch of dipshits clinging desperately to a storm of nonsense? Only tears that’d come from that is if i laughed too hard.

        I can still feel it when I think the vast majority of these people are vulnerable individuals who have been led to be believe they’re being victimized. Things like QAnon provide a the right-wing equivalent of a safe space and community for them.

        It’s got to be tough seeing it slowly tumble away.

        The last hold outs of a wilder Internet?

        In a way they are. They just also serve as a reminder of why not too many people want that wild internet anymore.
