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

You know, when things like #myspace and #facebook started popping up, I was smart enough at about 13 years old to think "Hey, I bet you this is gonna get used to manipulate people politically in my lifetime," and usually got ignored by folks older than me as some kind of kid-like conspiracy.

Nobody took the idea seriously until it happened.

It's likely the most dangerous #tech that exists in the world. Maybe more so than nukes.

I was smarter at 13 than most Americans.

I was active in my local music scene in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s. I’m trying to recover music from local bands I used to listen to and finding if they’re available anywhere online- and a lot of music isn’t. It’s sad to know how much media might be lost forever.

If anyone can suggest how I can recover some bands music or where to search I’d be grateful! #music #opensource #myspace #archive #data

... got bored created a new myspace account ...

Fight me!

2005: #MySpace

2025: #SpaceHey

https://spacehey.com

What do you get if you combine #Myspace & #Bluesky? It's ##SkySpace! https://skyspace.me/?youronly.one Now can someone combine #Friendster & Bluesky next? Or, maybe, #Plurk & Bluesky?

. @an says he wants https://spacehey.com to join the Fediverse.

@spacehey is a social-network that will likely remind you a lot of MySpace.

Looks fun!

SpaceHey: A Fan-made Tribute to MySpace https://theawesomer.com/spacehey-a-tribute-to-myspace/761992/

"#MySpace pages, Media player skins, the eye searingly gaudy hot dog stand theme. These all were vectors for #selfexpression. But to offer these #freedoms, you have to trust the person operating your system, honour their agency, and respect them as a serious intellectual partner instead of a gibbering idiot to be manipulated for your own ends.
…personal computing needs to make a firm return to normative #design practises.
#TheUser is dead. Long live #PersonalComputing!"

What about #napster ? #friendster ? #myspace ? #windowsXP ? #dos ?

Ok, I know what you want.... My blockbuster rental history huh? Or the favorite toys I got from #toysrus ? Definitely either my old #tamagotchi or #gameboy....

If you want a retro-themed #Facebook site (similar to #SpaceHey for #MySpace), check out #OffLine!

You don't have to use your real name, unlike real FB!

Cory Doctorow on social media lock-in:

“But … there’s no actual fire exits for Bluesky. No Bluesky user has severed all connections with the Bluesky business entity, renounced its terms of service and abandoned their accounts on Bluesky-managed servers without losing their personal connections to the people they left behind.”
