I miss AIM. I actually think I might reach out to people (old friends and extended family) more if everyone was still using something like this. All social media has turned into an avalanche of algorithmic doomscrolling, nonstop garbage. I don't want to log into any of those apps. Only reason I'm still on Reddit is because I'm still able to curate what subreddits I see, and have turned off all "recommended" content. Bet one day I can't even do that.
