Honestly seems like a lot of major sites are imploding. Stackoverflow's mods are striking, Twitter is on a downward spiral and likely to go bankrupt this year, Reddit is axing itself, etc.
It'll be interesting to see what ends up happening to the internet after. I think a return to more niche forums or community-run things like lemmy is unlikely to be fully mainstream, but I think enough folks will shake off the major platforms onto these to get them really active.
Fellow from Lansing, MI here. Joining as part of the reddit exodus, and because I like the concept of the fediverse.
I was around 13 when I first got into pens. Basically watched an sbrebrown video, thought that'd be really fun to use for school, and asked my parents for one for Christmas. Fast forward a decade, and I still use my Lamy 2k on the regular for ttrpg campaign notes or doodles.
