Your experience predates mine by a decade but I'm right there with you missing the culture. You had to want to be on the internet to be there back then so the userbase skewed nerdier and smarter. Websites were also tailored to niche audiences, they didn't aim for mass appeal.

Internet culture remained pretty great until low effort garbage took over. I stand firm that (the modern definition of) memes ruined the internet and one day I'll write my essay on it
