Are you here to “boycott” modern social media platforms? Or are you here because you’re obsessed with the 2000’s aesthetic?

I wanted to feel how the og MySpace was (since I didn't got to experience it) and though this was a good alternative. And because of the forums lol

im here because its cool and i love the vibe of the old 2000s websites

im here because its cool and i love the vibe of the old 2000s websites

boycott mostly, though i absolutely missed the old forum aesthetic and layout from my early online days XD

aside from all my negative feelings abt modern social media, it also just goes too fast for me. i would usually walk away from socials after wasting a few hours, then i'd be sad abt whatever the new discourse is and have a migraine bc i'm processing too much too fast lawl!! i can hardly even watch youtube vids while doing smthn else anymore bc my brain gets too tired. so i deleted all my socials except here and youtube (and neocities if that counts??), and im working on using youtube less too bc i'd like them to not be such a shitty company

tl;dr: social media hurts me physically wtf

i used to use other social media platforms, but i realized how awful it was for my mental health, so i've been off of it for close to a year now. however, i did enjoy the aspect of having a sort of "public diary" where people can peek in and see what im up to. i had used this site a long time ago as a joke but i think its really cool now! im not constantly bombarded with what other people are doing with their lives, but i can go see if i want to. its like we all have our own little islands, and we can visit whenever we want to, but we're not obligated. i don't know, it just feels nice

Boycott cause tiktok fucking sucks

idklol

Both, actual social media are kinda lame, here I can chat with ppl with same interests similar to mine, it feels so nice T_T

Both for me, I gave up on IG, deleted FB, use my Twitter for myself & am working on recovering my original 2007 Gaiaonline account.

I want to go back to having fun online that isn't tied to my real identity and is instead focused on my interests & aesthetics separate from consumerism and competition. I wanna see what people want to show of themselves, not what they have or where they go or who they know. 

Modern social media is so toxic and competitive, it only serves to collect&sell data to advertisers, shove ads in your face and make you feel inferior to others or aggravated by them.

I want to go back to having a space where everything is focused on who you are, not the image you curate & how well it fits into some marketing/political agenda. 

I'm here because SpaceHey is a smaller and less toxic platform, and it also allows customizability without having to go through microtransactions or anything like that.

I'm here because I'd rather customise my profile than get overwhelmed by 10 thousand discord messages.

I'm here for the nostalgia! 

I'm a habitual user of Instagram, rarely use (the site formerly known as) Twitter, and seldom use tiktok. The only social media platform I decided to ditch completely was facebook. 

lowkey both XD

im just here bc it feels comfy

i'm actually addicted to instagram, but I was curious about these types of websites since I'm too young to have experienced Myspace, but in the same way I'm a little fed up with social media, I only use Instagram to talk to a friend that I adore and love so we can say.. BOTH.

im here cuz i hate most modern social medias. the mindless trend following and spreading of fake news among a crowd of judgemental people festering in their own cesspool of hatred and insecurity really bothers me. all of these pathetic people feeding off each other and picking on anyone who dares to show the slightest bit of originality, picking and choosing what ridiculous image to pretend to find funny this week, all while choosing another shitty unfunny trending phrase or song. i havent used any other socials in months and ive been so much happier!!

and its fun here ^_^

I haven't been happy since the 2010s 

i'm here bc i love how customizable are our profiles on this site

im here mostly because i found other social medias to be too addicting and draining (lotsss of doomscrolling)

this place is a lot less overwhelming and i really like the customizable aspect

i'm here cuz it looked interesting

and also sort of to see the 2000's aesthetic 

Because I am nostalgic for the old days of MySpace. Lol I am really not that into most socmed. I have FB for a certain circle of people that I interact with almost exclusively in a handful of Groups; otherwise, I would delete. I occasionally open IG for some wellness or homesteading type accounts. Otherwise I am on Tumblr. I'm hoping I'll love SpaceHey!

im here cuz its insanely customizable and also no one i know has spacehey so i dont have to censor myself here LOL 

i'm here because carrd feels too restrictive and idk how to code well enough for neocities orz

both but its not that i necessarily want to boycott other social media platforms, more like i just love the layout and the way things work on spacehey wayyy more than modern apps, forums and blogging and 10x better than stories and shi, i still use apps like instagram and twitter, but this is jus smm better

im her bc this place looked really cool tbh lol

i love how it lets you customize thats so cool

a lil bit of both. Mostly just obsessed with the Late 2000s/Early 2010s

Social media these days just don't have that pizazz anymore. If you're lucky you'll find a account that is interesting, is it's a joke or is just interesting to you. All of the big ones feel like the same and copying each other like with TikTok's short form content. I like this website because of the recreation of something i wasn't able to experience when people older than me were on MySpace. The different aesthetics people have on their webpage is something i like to browse when looking through profiles. Spacehey just hits different compared to social media like Twitter and TikTok.

i'd say both!! i like the aes of old internet sites i missed out on bc i was too young but i also hate the current landscape of modern social media (algorithms, easily to get addicted to, lack of safety, etc). i'm trying to get away from moder social media personally aside from discord and tumblr, so this and neocities r pretty good places to start with

i love the nostalgia!! social media these days is so bleh. i love the old school internet vibes :3

I wouldn't say boycott but modern social media is just so noisy. I know several people with tumblr but anything with a "live feed" is honestly just so exhausting and that's just normal.. No wonder so many people feel so wrung-out. I didn't use the original myspace but something like this focused on customizability and personal expression instead of "let's see how many ads we can fit on a single webpage" is a lot more attractive to me.

Both tbh , mainstream social media become way too toxic w all the trend u have to keep up and shit and im tired of that , plus there's no way to costumise ur profile to ur actual heart on apps like insta or tiktok , etc.

And i truely enjoy social medias more like spacehey , 4chan , reddit.  Etc , forum like websites! <33

Honestly I hadn’t thought about it but yea this site is a lot more chill than Twitter also the customizable profile helps too 

i’m just here to hang out :) i love the full customization for accounts so that’s a huge bonus 🫶

I'm here because I'm tired of massive social media

i hav an unhealthy obsession w/ the 2000s, so thx goodness 4 this site lol

uh im just here to make friends lol

In my case, both. The only mainstream social media website I use is YouTube (plus plenty of extensions made for YouTube such as one to return the dislike count). Plus, one of my special interests is (and always has been) the 2000s decade. I was born in 2006, and I'm living like it's 2006, rawr XD.

I missed the MySpace train back in the day, so my draw was wanting to get away from modern social media. People are constantly virtue signaling, competing for attention, picking fights and comparing themselves to others. This website feels significantly more chill and authentic.

I also love the amount of personality I can pour into my profile. Being able to alter so many aspects of it puts this place well above other social media. I like having fun things to do online without having the carefully navigate some stupid algorithm. Leave a comment on one video and suddenly your entire FYP is changed. It's tiresome.

its both for me! i like that i can customize my profile however i want but i also like acting like a silly teen girl in the 2000s having a super fun time online

I'm here because I miss the old Myspace.

I joined here because I liked the simplicity of the site and that it's not too obnoxious looking since I don't wanna join the mainstream social sites atm.

I'm just here bc I miss myspace tbh

ive been using only youtube as a form of social media for years

I'm here to slow down and take a breath. What I see on this site is a filter for people who like to chill and have backbone, which I value a lot. People being themselves is hard to come across these days

i think most social media platforms now are heading downhill tbh so im here cuz it just feels more stable and consistent and hopefully itll stay that way

B O Y C O T T 

I had a myspace account back in the day during it's early period. (Roughly 2004 or so.) Nostalgia mainly, but I enjoy making new friends and meeting all kinds of people.
