spacehey first impressions

I was never on myspace much as a teenager or preteen, which coincided with when it was still popular.1 I was pretty antisocial and an internet hipster nerd and thought myspace and its normie plebeian crowd was kind of dumb. So I don't know a whole whole lot about what myspace was really like, but I'm somewhat surprised to have the impression that spacehey does a decent job of emulating the myspace community, including the juvenile crowd. Something about the medium is the message / form shapes the content? The groups seem pretty sparsely populated which might be one difference. Anyway, myspace is now old enough that it falls within the bucket of anything web 1.0 esque enough to strike a note of fond nostalgia with me, especially in foil of "web 3.0" and its dismal attire, so I'm happy to trial my participation in a sparsely-populated myspace reboot.. even if it's not quite the same as my social media mainstays.2
