It was mostly made up of english primaries. The barrier to entry meant that even mundane things like shitposts were things that were genuine. Very little was monetized or with an ulterior motive. There wasn't much content and so odds are you shared a culture with everyone else since what good content existed, you were all watching. Now you'll notice all everyone talks about is the current twitter bot interest farmed zeitgeist of the week. It was (mostly) disconnected from the real life culture war until ~2008 or so. To talk online you would usually be on a hobby forum, IRC or server/MMO guild's group chat. You were generally doing something to speak online, not just endlessly scrolling in a daze.
I miss it dearly. The closest I can get is still keeping in touch with people through discord and steam that I've shitposted with for nearly 2 decades now but once in a while I'll go on an alt and explore new communities but it's very grim, gen Z and A are discord addicted lonely introverts, slaves to corporate TOS, algorithm pushed interests and parasocial activities. The kind of toxic positivity that modern social media puts on display would put old 4chan's ragebait and calling you a faggot to shame. It's all a much more evil game of social competition and manipulation.
