Comment on Millennials: It's ok to mourn the death of social media

Is this their first platform death? Common Wired!
Millennials have been losing platforms on the Internet for pretty much the whole history of the Internet. Just a handful of “social media” type services that have risen and fallen in my years of the internet: AOL Instant Message, ICQ, IRC, Usenet, LiveJournal, MySpace, on and on.
Most of these aren’t even properly “dead”, many I just.mentioned still have big user groups too. They just lost a critical user share when folks moved on.

Oldest Millennials were almost too old for Gaia. We were 18-22 at it’s launch in 2003.
I got my start on Alamak Chat in late 1995 but I had friends who had already been on IRC or Usenet for years prior to that.

Usenet is still quite active. Especially in the piracy field, as a forum for discussion, it’s pretty dead though.
