Kind of.


Even has a true forum which made me kinda excited, though it's pretty basic. While the 90's/00's kid inside me is aflush with nostalgia and happiness, some huge questions need to be answered. For one, where are they getting their money from? Looks like it's from donations. Two, where's the data going? The site says there's no algorithms, no tracking, and no personalized ads, but that doesn't mean they're not selling data. Three, what's their plan to stop the inevitable plague of bots? Four, how censourious are they going to be? And five, even if those questions are answered satisfactorily, what assurances do we have that they won't just let themselves be bought out by Facebook/Amazon/Google/*insert shitty huge company here*?

Still though...

The energy is strong

I've clicked around and haven't heard any autoplaying music
Can't tell if umatrix/adblock too strong or something has gone terribly wrong

I don't know if the site supports auto-playing music yet. Or maybe it was a (wisely) purposeful omission. lol
