Miss this place

Post by Aaron Coomer (3.504) »

I miss AFJ. forum's in general are now artifacts of a time past. social media sucks and all the info that was out there on forums is dying as that platform has been obsoleted. i've never understood why because this was so much better than FB groups.

lets get back to this. actually having the ability to search through posts to find info. topics that can keep discussions alive for years. a living record of all the things. I'm over FB/IG/whatever else and the way those platforms cater to instant gratification.

circa 2008-2010 or so I remember going on a rant on the old forum that FB was a FBI/CIA invention (as are smartphones, shopping card like kroger plus caed). Many people still arent aware of that even after all the shit that has come out on it. Prior to FB it was common knowledge to NEVER use your real name online. then suddenly it became weird if you didnt have FB with your real name on it like a snap of the finger. 2020 showed the world that this entire country is controlled in lock step with the deep state. every corporation complied like robots, like north korea.

normies all scoffed at me at the time. lol

It's why I kept an eye on the AFJ domain, and snatched it back up as soon as it was available.

I agree information is hard to find again because of this.

I just can't get into the whole facebook groups thing. It just isn't the same and it is hard to track anything. Glad to be back here and see some familiar names already.
