There are the periodic threads about slap not being what it used to, and it just donned on me: interacting online in text form was a lot more fun when it was a novelty. Though I still enjoy slap, I find myself actively trying to limit the amount of digital, message-based relationships in my life.
Also when it was a novelty a lot more people were doing it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of young people, and at this point young meaning under 30, don't even know what a messageboard is, and if they do, they wouldn't have the patience for it.
This shit is to social media what writing letters was to talking on the phone.
Kids ain't gonna do this shit.
This is one of the only places I do any commenting or interacting, and I mostly only do it during work hours.
I virtually never post or comment on instagram or reddit, and I don't have a facebook, linkedin, or tiktoc.
