Fingers crossed it does, I've been looking for a fun/old web style site like this for ages.

I really hope it does succeeds! Even tho the site seems dead at times...
I don't like modern internet nor the look of modern internet. I usually come on here to make friends and nostalgic purposes. Being said since this website is still fairly new, we just have to wait and see. I do have my fingers crossed on SpaceHey.

Hopefully, its 2023 now but hopefully it gets more out there and really stays longer than myspace atleast did.

I think it has potential. It needs some upgrades, but i hope it catches on. even for a little while.

Been here since the start (joined in Jan. 2020) and honestly, I don't see it ever catching on as a major, or even mid tier, social network. It lacks too many of the most basic features all of them have now (i.e. photo, video, and music support; as well as phone apps). It's more of a nostalgia/novelty thing for most people. I've noticed a lot join, experiment with profile customization & add people to get their friend count up, then leave or just lose interest.

I've been shilling this site and neocities pretty hard since Twitter got bought out. I think people my age and younger are kinda burnt out by social media to some degree. I'm 26, making me the oldest zoomer, I've had a social media account ie instagram since I was in like 8th grade, I don't really like the corporate controlled internet as it is.

My POV as someone who just discovered Spacehey yesterday: I think it has the potential to get bigger. To the point of replacing other social media? I don't think so. I certainly can't convince my elderly and tech-illiterate mom to move from FB.
But I like it small as it is. It's kind of a place for cool people only, basically what people on Tumblr think Tumblr is.

It could. If they do it right. Right now, I think it's mainly geared towards people who want a good hit of nostalgia and want a MySpace simulator to play with. If the rumors of younger generations getting off of smartphones are true, however, then it might be seen as a better alternative to Facebook and Twitter, as those are geared more towards the mobile platform.

Maybe? But If MySpace.com go back to the old look again with Photo Albums , download instant messenger on your computer , and games.

I figure it'll bubble up and down for a while, enough to make other social media start to feel a little emptier. This isnt the only alternative to the social media giants, either. Facebook has been pathetic with their cash grabs and investments lately - I wouldnt be surprised to see some mass exoduses in the next 2 or 3 years

I just hope it remains the way it is, that it doesn't get changed for mainstream, but that there's enough users to keep the servers up, yk?

as it is now I don't think so. Maybe if they add more and make it a little easier to use.

Honestly, I believe in An and this platform. It needs to be kept safe from the monitization algorithms and predatory tactics that modern day social media sites use. This site can be the one that brings back what made social media so special in the first place.

I really hope it does. Even though this isn’t MySpace it’s pretty close to it, and I think a lot of us miss the authenticity that website gave.

I think it could serve as a good forum community. It could be like “Reddit-style” website/app with the nostalgia of MySpace.

This website feels way more complex than FB or IG. IG has gone downhill since FB- oh excuse me, I mean Meta bought them out. I was never on MySpace so I don’t know what to compare it to. I think the novelty of this site may wear off the way that Tumblr did. Today is my first day on this site and it’s been pretty fun for me, however I feel that not many from older generations would enjoy this site.

I'm optimistic, there are people who feel passionately for the site and it feels like there's a need for a site like this

I have faith in this. I just joined this morning myself, but I know the more we use it, the more we allow ourselves to be seen using it, accessing it, sharing it, and enjoying it, the stronger this platform can become. yes, the potential use of intellectual property/legality seems to be a viable concern. Can anyone from the tech team speak on thag to beware anyone’s concerns?

I hope so. It seems very simple and personable. It's up to the myspace generation and if they want something like it to come back and keep it going

I agree with what the guy said 9 months ago in the comments. The timeline feature is the most irritating part of other sites. Bulletins were good enough.

It has succeeded is succeeding.
There are about 150k users on this site. That's more than Myspace had 18 months in. They're fairly active, they blog, they forum. They can ask this question (You did, right here, even!).
At least in the US, satire and parody (of which this nostalgic recreation would fall under, I think. Biggo IANAL right here.) is protected. So, I don't think there's a lot of risk of legal fallout. Also, given that it's hosted out of Germany, I really don't know how that would work.
Ultimately, we're here. We're having a discussion. It's not going away today, it's probably not going away tomorrow either. I'd say as long as we have it, it's succeeding. Maybe it won't be here in 2 years, maybe it'll still be here in 10. For now, let's just use it while we have it!

Yeah. It's got a ways to go but in a day where animosity towards the major social medias and their nonsense is growing and people want a more lax, less bullshit platform something like this fits the bill.

I hope it last for long time. . .but in all honesty I don't think this throw back site can soley thrive and survive. Among the giants by banking ONLY on nostalgia. The social media landscape has changed back in the days it was just 2 or 3 sites to choose from (e.g; Xanga, MySpace or Bebo) and these days as you know is like 6 or 7 (e.g; Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok) and if you include the alternative sites (e.g; Gab, Minds, Parler) that's like 10 or more to choose from.

I really REALLY hope it does. This is the closest thing to Myspace yet, so I do have high hopes that this will succeed.

I hope it succeeds. I've been loving my experience on here so far. I think this site can't just rely on nostalgia completely to maintain an active user base. I'm hoping spacehey will last a long time.

when layouts get easier to implement, I'll definitely be back! Right now, it's too difficult for my aged brains.

I don't think it will ever take facebook's place as the top dog, but I think it has potential to be a viable alternative.

I hope it does. I really miss the Myspace of 2006, when there was so much music on there to discover. That's the big thing I hope happens - that it becomes a music resource

No idea and I tend to be behind when it comes to teach. When I first heard of myspace it was already dead lol. This I heard about from a friend that tends to like old things lol. Is there a way to look for people by location? If there is I dont see it. So it may be hard to find people in your town or even state.

I don't see it getting as big as something like Facebook.
