how myspace was?

Question

i never got to experience the myspace glory days because i was a kid on that era, all i know about myspace is that there was a lot of alt people there, and that you could customize your profile (thats why i got so interested in it, no modern social media allows it). so i wanted to know from people here who were on myspace: how it was? there was a lot of online drama and toxicity like current social media have? was it better or worse than modern social plataforms? and is spacehey an "accurate" recreation of myspace?

i'm really curious to know because, by what a lot people talk about it online, it seemed that myspace was a lot more positive, simple and more fun that current social media like twitter, instagram and tiktok are, but it could be just nostalgia talking, so i wanted to know more.

in the Netherlands, we had Hyves , which was basically pretty much the same as MySpace, just localised to our country. You had your beggars for 'respect' (that's what they called "likes" on that site), you had your spammers, you had arguments over nothing, you had a lot of wacky looking profile pages like on SpaceHey, old women collecting and sharing Blingee gifs, you had BuddyPoke which was a cool animated avatar for your page and you also had a people trying to make as many "friends" as possible, since you could see their friendcount next to their name lol. It was kind of similar to social media right now, minus all of the algorithms and AI slop. Hyves closed down in 2012. I do miss it, but by then most had moved to Facebook..
