Really interesting to read as someone who started using it in 2006, and was a daily user from late 2012 to late 2017. And met all of my friends and my partner of 13 years there. You're right on the money.

"There are ... turns of phrase even online that you likely use, dating back to 4chan." I thought about this literally only an hour ago when I was at work and unconsciously responded to someone with "based".
Probably the most intense bit I've written, it's about millennial mental health narratives. Content warnings for all kinds of extreme emotional topics, which I'm sure you can imagine. Don't read if this will ruin your day. https://fabled.day/before/2000s/mental.html

Oooooof, just when I thought memories of My Immortal had been permanently erased from my brain. The 00s were a wild time for so many reasons.

cool read! my experience with 4chan is usually screenshots of the worst of it posted elsewhere, so it's cool to see an account from a user like you
