Doing uncleonion's quiz

Alright, let's answer some questions!
...Even though I don't normally do this.

Original source / Creator / More quizzes



Q1: When did you first join? (AKA your Spaceversary)
A: I can't remember the specific, but I know it wasn't the date on this account. It must have been like... What, Feburary 2023?

Q2: What drove you to become a SpaceHeyian?
A: I think if you asked me both before and after having settled for at least a year, I'd give two different answers. In 2023, I think it was about the novelty of SpaceHey and how it was nothing like anything I've seen. It was retro, active, and seemingly outlasted a lot of "old internet" projects like the Old YouTube space, which is full of either popular sites with messy userbases or sites that die after a few years.

Right now, all that matters is that I'm making real friends. That's how I've stayed around so long, I guess. That, and the community still somehow holding on, despite all the chaos all the time. It's an example of underground sites having good communities, I think. I don't know.

Q3: What are your favorite types of blogs to write and post?
A: Rants and retrospectives! I mostly write rants about topics I like to kind of show the world that technology is flawed and I hate working with it, but sometimes I just want to yap about nostalgia or something, so I tend to do that too.

Q4: What are your favorite types of bulletins to write and post?
A: It's nearly anything, but usually I just like to throw in random thoughts that are on my mind, Like, why I think something a friend posted is cool!

Q5: What kinds of forums are your favorites?
A: I don't really read the forums, so let me double check my notes for some plausible answers...

Q6: Have you ever made your own custom HTML / CSS for your profile?
A: I've before messed with some bits and pieces to edit some stuff on my profile. It wasn't quite the easiest to mess with, sometimes...

Q7: What’s your favorite part of your profile?
A: Mostly proud of the interest yap right now! I usually struggle a lot with finding Layouts I want to stick with, and usually the interests are the most rounded part of my profile. 

Q8: What kinds of people are you friends with? What types of people friend request you?
A: I end up only having added people who I actually have social connections with. That being, people I actually talk to. As for people who come around adding me, since I have a top blog about resolving profile image issues, I end up getting added by a lot of people who are new! Although, unfortunately I find I don't share a lot with the people that add me...

Q9: Who are your personal favorite SpaceHeyians on here? They don’t need to be on your friends list or for you to have even directly interacted with them, just people you think are really cool.
A: Xeviant and Kie have been two of those people! xeviant wrote a blog post for new users that I've been directing some new people to, and Kie writes some cool introspective stuff since I found their post a while back.

Q10: Is SpaceHey your primary social network? Do you use more indie and open-source websites similar to SpaceHey, or do you stick with mainstream platforms?
A: Honestly just quit them. I used to use a bunch of mainstream platforms, but my use of "socials" has basically died down to iMood, Neocities, Status Cafe, SpaceHey, Discord and and GitHub. Sigh...

Q11: Are you more of a blinkie or stamp guy?
A: Since buttons are not an option, I'm going with stamps! Sorry, blinkie users.

Q12: What’s the most memorable blog you’ve read?
A: I think that award goes to xeviant's post for new users, of course. I can't think of anything else....

Q13: What’s the most memorable bulletin you’ve read?
A: Kie posted a bulletin a while back about how Tech ethics are hell, because people keep saying they're 'not that bad' when they indeed are. And that's stuck with me, because indeed, they are hell, and nearly every company got something wrong in their heads.

Q14: What’s the most memorable interaction you’ve had on here?
A: I'm giving this award to my interaction with wintrmoon, when they had just joined on day one. I replied to their blog welcoming them, and I think I might just be the reason they stayed on.

Q15: Picture this; what if you *never* made or used a SpaceHey account? What if *you* were one of the many users that immediately left their account a week upon decking out their profile?
A: Oh boy, you're painting me quite a picture! Let's see...

Firstly, I would NOT be here writing this. I would likely be on Discord, having no fucking clue what I'm doing or how to make new friends. I would probably, very likely still be on ROBLOX active just fine, despite the glaring issues, as SpaceHey had a partial play in my want to try and protest ROBLOX's shenanigans.

I would most likely be out there, maybe if I'm lucky on Neocities with near zero exposure. At worst, I'm probably off Neocities with a Rentry, completely devoid of any ideas, possibly also on Tumblr.

Just some small ideas...

I'm surprised that people use the friends feature for actual friends. There are much better platforms for real friend connections that also don't publicly display all my connections to the open internet by default. I use the friends feature here for making loose connections for sharing bulletins with people I'm 90% sure aren't bot trying to sniff for personal data.
