My house is meant to accommodate whoever wants to be here.
I talked to a guy who used to have his own site where he hosted games and stuff, he made games and whatnot. It wasn't a community, but it was still a pretty popular destination for people who wanted to play Tetris or whatever. Then over time, he scaled the site back until it just became literally a flash graphic/placeholer.
Eventually, I sent him an email and asked why the heck he did it. He basically said that having your own website wasn't 'popular' anymore and that everyone had 'switched' over to social media...
I was like damn. Really? Somebody who's operated their own successful site for like 15 years is saying it's 'not popular' to do so anymore and that we should just accept 'switching over'. So I said, fuck that... I will never assimilate into some internet ghetto paradigm.
