friend of mine told me this exactly : going on telegram feels like being back to the original internet. But that's probably because of all the illegal/uncensored content you can find there

ever go to onion sites? They're pretty great. No javascript, social media share buttons, ad-tech or click-jacking or videos popping up or walls in front of the content. No liking or subscribing or logging in with your facebook account... it's ironic how tor is the clean internet.

While all of what you said is technically true, you left out the fact that Tor sites are majority about illegal activity, such as hiring assassins, ordering forged identity documents, and buying and selling controlled substances. I'm afraid that kind of kills the nostalgia for me.

Half the fun is trying to guess which 40% of those are just larping, which 40% are feds, and which 20% are actually real.

The Internet, where the women are men, the men are boys, and the boys are FBI agents.
