I have a sense of foreboding for some resaon, like bad things are gonna happen this year? Is my mindset the problem, or am I correctly predicting the future?

I had that feeling in 2025 and 2024 as well. I wasn't completely wrong for those. The feeling doesn't get better.:ph34r:

But nothing that bad happened in 25 and 24, I mean I have a really really bad feeling.

Most of what I felt was related to "the internet being more regulated and restrictive" and "internet people becoming even more stupid"
E.g. "the online safety act" and flamewars

Are you thinking of stuff like world wars and economic collapse? :sweat:

meh it'll be fine... probably

There will always be a place for flame wars and idiots on the internet, the important part is finding a cozy place away from the crazy people

I think laws like the online safety act would affect mainstream social media, but then you have sites like AO3 that were founded on the idea that if its not illegal, I should be allowed to post it. Like they have an army of lawyers or something. I wouldnt be surprised if theres other sites like that. I know some YouTubers got sick of dealing with YT and made that Nebula thing but I dont think its a more guarded alternative per se.

Anyway, finding or creating niche places online and gatekeeping them is how you keep good places for different sorts of people. Idk if gatekeeping is the right word but w/e

lol, nobody in power gives a fuck about fanfiction. The kinds of sites that need lawyers and an army of ddos mitigation devs are sites hosting something that pisses off some powerful group. Like sites hosting leaked government docs, or conspiracy theories about epstein island before that cat was already out of the bag.

You dont have to be a big power to threaten a lawsuit, AO3 was founded because LiveJournal got threatened with lawsuits for some old gay fanfics. LiveJournal and FF.net both deleted a bunch of stuff.

The people in power arent who I generally fear, I generally fear weirdo individuals who wanna be stalkers or harass people. And those are the kinds of people who harass sites to try and get them to delete stuff. Like when Collective Shout went on a campaign to censor Steam and itch.io got fucked up in the process.

Any site that gets a lot of traction needs protection from angry internet sperg mobs. Same general idea behind why the average person needs a lock on their front door.
