El 18 de julio de 2005, News Corporation,adquirió MySpace por 580 millones usd. Entonces, era la plataforma de redes sociales más popular, con 22 millones de usuarios. Después de la compra, saturaron el sitio con anuncios y cayó en declive.

"It was a place where millions of people could connect to one another!" - JOANNE MCNEIL, Welcome to MySpace, Main Accounts: The Story of MySpace #MainAccounts #MySpace #JoanneMcneil

"Breaking" news: #Bluesky, the great social media savior, is now as relevant as #MySpace and as lively as a pet rock. The media's collective yawn was only interrupted by a chuckle as pundits pat themselves on the back for declaring the obvious: it's blue, it's sky, it's... dead.

TIL courtesy of @pluralistic’s talk at Coop Congress: In Facebook’s early days, it solicited your MySpace login and then scraped the site for your social graph.

I used to miss #MySpace until I found Mastodon. Almost no #enshittification (except perhaps some really bad profile themes that would wreck your shitty Dell of the era ). No AI, no obscure algorithms (compared to today's corporate social media anyway).

Wordpress' editor is just total garbage, I've decided. Fiddly, obtuse and annoying.

I'm now looking at building a blog in 11ty and throwing it up on Neocities. 11ty's built around the fabulous Markdown, meaning it's the perfect use-case for my beloved Obsidian.

Neocities, eh? Maybe for kicks I'll search on Lycos for some cool Myspace pages and fire up Winamp for that authentic llama-whipping late-90's-internet feel.

Is it just me, or does the whole "indie web" thing just feel like a remixed version of MySpace...

I got a friend request on Discord from a random person on a community I'm barely active in out of nowhere.

Who do they think this is? MySpace in the early 2000s?

Frage in die Bubble:

Schwemmt es denn endlich mal, wie zu besten #MySpace Zeiten, meine ganzen Lieblingsbands ins Fediverse? Weiß man da schon Genaueres?

Einen schönen Sonntag Abend, liebe Rüsseltierchen

Einmal Kopfhörer aufsetzen und kurz Parallelwelt?

Gern geschehen

Winds of Plague. Phenomenal deathcore. My favorite album of theirs is this one here. “Decimate the Weak.”
From the way back when days when MySpace was still a thing. That’s where I found them. I’m old.

well #GIjoke #PeteKegsBreath is history, but don't worry, as a good #MAGAt he logged in to #MySpace and "screened" a perfectly suitable #KnightsTemplar substitute for his führer #OrangeShitler

My wife found a #MySpace China t-shirt from when I worked at MySpace and we launched in China.

I don't remember what it says on the back, so please reply if you know

This is what lens scans:
反你友我

Which they translate as:
Anti-You Friends Me

LOL

lol, just visited the homepage of a Sharkey instance for the first time.

It's so busy, 2007 #MySpace be like, "Dang, man, chill!" XD

Is there a new drama on SpaceHey that I missed? I rarely open SpaceHey lately.
