It’s funny, I started up a private Minecraft server again recently, for just some close friends and anyone else I invite, after not running one for several years. The last time I ran one was the public 5by5 server in 2013-2014. Having collaborative building projects on this server that I work on with my old friends and some new ones has been giving me the same feelings as the projects I used to do on the internet.

I read Darius's post, and I realized that it was like "What if you
wanted a little corner of the internet for all of your friends?"

In my case it's sadly more like "both of your friends".

But here's to cordiality and civility and maybe a little goofiness in
cyberspace on tilde together. And maybe some new friendships?
