    way too niche knowledge/memes?

    the deep fandoms

    Also besides hentai, before the porn purge it had a creative sex worker/porn fan scene of sorts that was pretty unique. Then they wrecked it to try to monetize the site with ads but couldn’t even get that right and so it’s been shuffled around owners to where now the business behind WordPress.com owns it.

    Tbh it’s probably the closest we’ve seen to a modern mix of MySpace, LiveJournal(? whichever blogging site was popular for fanfic, I’m blanking on it atm), & Geocities just in terms of the fan groups, heavy blog customization, and content that makes you wonder where the hell you’ve stumbled into.
