To be fair after I got cable internet and was Always Online, I remember AIM was still good. We just need away messages again, a one-click setting for messenger apps that auto-replies with awful song lyrics and auto turns your icon to blank black.
Had to rip the classic from Instagram for this
Now I can't maintain a conversation online anymore at all. Messages are challenges to dread, always with an obligation to respond when something gets dropped in your lap with no context or prior meaning. I miss when talking was easier.
I miss the pre-"always online" days. I miss away messages and ways of signaling that you don't feel like a conversation at the moment without the phych warfare of read checkmarks. It meant that socializing was still an active activity online, not a passive one.
Dunno if it was the greatest but the era of LiveJournal,IRC, and message boards was probably the peak of feeling community online.
Or I was just a teenager.
