    Also the best, not just the worst. I agree but I hate to be pessimistic. Back then we used to dig to the shit to find a few hidden gems. The amount of gems stayed the same but the pile of shit got bigger. I liked the internet more when it was more like island with a lot of activity instead of bridges everywhere (I know the irony being on Lemmy). I miss active bulletin boards. Reddit really killed forums. Everyone wants convenience instead of quality. And everyone seems to be in a hurry

      Yeah before www I would say there was more good than bad. Im talking about 93 before aol. The word troll was about the few bad actors spoinling things. But its like the good followed a linear growth rate while the bad followed an exponential growth rate.
