Cool, would only be interested in old school Myspace with no trackers, crawlers, or loads of BS that companies try to monetize data in every single possible aspect.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Then you're going to end up disappointed.
Oh I'm not expecting anything to actually happen that way, and even if it did, that'd be temporary until the platform gets adopted enough to be valuable; then you get vendor lock-in.
Look into “the small web”. You can get a site that is kinda like a MySpace profile, but you have more control.
Are they bringing Tom back? Otherwise, I ain't going.
Are they bringing Tom back?
As far as I can see from the articles I've read, no.
I heard he was retired and living like a king in Patagonia.
I've heard the same.
Is 2006 coming back? I'd prefer that, but MySpace as it existed then wouldn't land the same way now.
Weird that Myspace is still "owned" by someone when it's spent so long not being a thing that exists.
It still existed, just not used by many people for a long time. Probably mostly just bots talking to each other. 🤣
It never stopped existing. Its been a weird music thing for a while.
As I remember, it kinda started as a music thing, too. It was always where people put their band pages back in the day, at any rate.
Does Justin Timberlake still own it?
