I didn’t use MySpace, but I would imagine people saw others as people posting stuff on a community board at that point. Instead of a detached voice inside their computer.
Yeah all my MySpace friends were people I made friends with on forum sites. And we were actually friends that actually spoke and messaged other. Novel concept for ‘social’ media, I know.
I forget how the boards on Myspace worked, but they definitely were there as I remember chatting on them with other freshmen before moving in to college. One of the people even ended up being a close friend and eventual room mate, and this wasn’t a small school.
Facebook started really taking off that fall of freshman year and I imagine most that socialization moved there by 07.
I had some dude try to flirt with me on ezboard when I was 16. He offered to send a photo. My friend was with me when I got the photo and we just laughed. It was some dude probably in his 30s at least with a handlebar moustache.

Less pedos too. They didn’t know how to use computers, but the next generation was learning on Myspace

Now creeps are a fat balding lecher in bed, commenting from somewhere in South America.
