Spacehey's blogs are all just one infinite stream of nothing.
Once you see a blog in the recent page, chances are if you refresh that thing's gone forever after it gets buried under everything else.
Blogs get deleted daily; if you don't archive or at least screenshot, the blog you just read might be gone forever.
Spacehey doesn't give you an option to view the history of anything you do. If you ever made a comment you regret writing chances are you won't ever be able to come back and delete that and will have to live with it.
Bookmarking is the most important thing when it comes to this site, especially after you come across a blog you really really like and want to read it again and again for years to come. If you don't bookmark a blog you'd have lost it forever.
And don't you even dare suggest blog search, it's the most useless thing ever and will just bring up a bunch of blogs that don't even relate; doesn't matter if you write in the exact title with proper capitalization.
If anything, the same thing I say about blogs can also be applied to the users of this site too.
I'm personally not the most social person, it's more so people friend requesting me than me friend requesting people. I'm not sure if people even get notifications from others favoriting them, so bookmarking their profile is the best thing I can do.
While user search is a lot more salvagable then blog search, once someone changes their name, url and profile picture you really have lost track of them if you aren't friends with them.
And people can... just leave one day. Even if they don't make a goodbye post their online status will say everything. You could consider them the cobwebs of your friends list; people need to tend to their friends list and dust off the cobwebs once in a while. Having inactive friends really shows how old your account could be.
But that just happens with everyone (unless if you're chronically online) it's gonna happen to me and it's gonna happen to you, even if we're both (assumingly) active right now as this blog is written. You could go to my profile and see "last online: 5 years ago"
And if it really says that: Time's just like that. I was 16 when I wrote this blog, I'm (you have to do the math for an exact age) an adult now, and I probably have bigger things to worry about in my personal life than a MySpace revival website. Sorry but everyone has to tap out at some point.
Which makes me think about all of those "Spacehey is dead" posts, do you really want everyone to be terminally online and posting every 2 seconds? not everyone has the time to always be able to log on this site. Sorry, strawman argument and also off topic.
I have a whole folder dedicated to Spacehey bookmarks. Usually blogs and profiles, which sounds a bit creepy of me but there are some people that I think are really nice and I bookmark them in a "I better keep an eye on their shenanigans" I usually bookmark people because they have a cool looking profile, or an icon of something I like.
Again, I'm not extroverted in the slightest, this is the best I can do because I don't like looking like a friend collector or some creepy person that stalks people on their public activity.
This makes me think how delicate Spacehey media is. Anything can happen to it and it can just be gone forever. It's like a leaf blowing in the wind, you can see it at one point but once the breeze picks up you'll never see it again, or already had never saw it.
Top blogs can dissapear after a certain amount of time or get deleted suddenly, or the author of that blog post can get banned or delete their own account.
I've already ingrained this into you enough but bookmark, save, and archive everything you love. There's no promise it'll be there for you tommorrow.
