If you had a time machine that could set the internet back to what it was like in a certain era, when would that be? (lemmy.world)

I'd say 2005-2015. Mature enough to be useful, but didn't really go to shit yet.

I'd send it back to 2006. This would be Pre-IPhone and therefore Pre-Smartphone as we know it today. Sure we'd lose out on the years where memes had their golden periods, but I would rather have a time of the internet that encouraged exploring and communities with good comradery than people just speaking meme talk.
