I'm partial to this one, mostly because I stumbled across it purely by accident:

The comments sections on their articles were amazing until they took that away last year.
My dad often posted comments to the Yahoo! articles.

It made his heart glad to know that he pissed off so many rabid lefties reading the Yahoo! articles - they'd downvote the shit out of his comments, and he'd tell me what he'd written.

Well we hardly knew ya Yahoo Answers. Say hello to Miiverse for me.
Miiverse getting shut down is a bitch and a half since Nintendo still has miiverse-ish options built into their newer games but like every fucking shitty game out there now It's "account integration" with twitter required instead of just using your Nintendo account like with Miiverse. This is a big reason as to why the Posts in the US splatoon 2 square are all fucking shitty low effort "TRAAAAANS" posts 80% of the time. Sometimes they go around mass flagging accounts that don't post politics shit on there, the NinTranny cabal is very real and I fear for the kids exposed to that shit.

I see your point about children being exposed to it, Splatoon is a game with a general audience and because of that, most kids would probably either ignore it or fall for it.

I haven't played splatoon 2 in a while, is it like a thing praising trans as a whole?

Surprised the whole brand hasn't gone kaput - I remember when Y!'s Search became a proxy for Bing (much like what DDG is, in fact), heh...

... on a note, is that why Nintroontards love Twitter so much, also Splatoon is big with troons because tentacle sex/monster girls are popular with weeb coomers. Marina is literally hentai artist bait, hell even the OG inkling girl is... And yeah, I feel sorry for random kids suckered into it too :/

With current era censorship and various retro tech no longer accessible?
No there's going be a huge gap. Archivists are not what you call your everyday normie.
HTTPS moment, heh. A forum I have some perms on refuses to enforce HTTPS in order to allow older devices to view. (Given that it's a legacy OS forum essentially split from MSFN's community thanks to bad moderation there, this makes sense... honestly is HTTPS all that great if the cipher suite / protocol is insecure, plus it relies typically on a "trusted" CA which aren't always so sincere - see: Symantec and COMODO, also the ease of a free "trusted" cert makes it too easy to setup a scam site, people used to be told to look for the padlock and now that advice is effectively BS)

It's sad that we never got to the cyberpunk untamed VR internet before the clamp was brought down, now there's always going to be hackers and the like, but you'll be going up against the law if you want the internet to be anything but brainwashing.
Cyberpunk is always clamped down. We're par for the course. The untamed internet was supposed to be the Dark Web.

Right, the idea is that the only people using a free web are those willing to hack it, hence the punk angle, right?

I used to LIVE on Yahoo Answers 10-15 years ago, I was always trolling it and I went through accounts like water, luckily back then you didn't need a phone number to make a new Yahoo account lol

I haven't been on Answers in a long time though, and none of my Yahoo accounts are active anymore. There just isn't any point in keeping a Yahoo account now, because mail gets hacked twice a week, and all the good stuff has been removed.

So now Yahoo has literally nothing going for it whatsoever, except maybe a mediocre email service and Yahoo! Finances.
I know they're owned by Verizon or something now, but i honestly don't fucking know why they believe stripping so many functions away from Yahoo somehow will make the site more profitable. If anything Yahoo! was meant to be an all-purpose internet portal.
I actually prefer Yahoo mail to all of the other email service. No forced grouping of email chains (meaning you look at them one at a time, not forcing you to only view them as a collective group allowing you greater ease to delete/save the emails that are relevant and delete the ones which aren't) and easier search engine for finding old emails and archiving messages in individual folders; all things that you can't do in Gmail.
