[homestuck kind of but mostly just feeling really old]

kids these days thinking this is some weird horrible plot device that makes no sense because they don't recognize that the Pesterchum interface was modelled after AIM

where, after your friend list and non-friends who had messaged you, was a red list of blocked accounts

It's been ages, but iirc she even flat-out says "how are you still messaging me after I blocked you" so you would think "the Trollslum is a list of blocked users" would scan, but the closest thing in modern use is Discord and they don't have that in the same way...

shrivels

Oh my god

oh yeesh

shakes my cane at the sky, these danged kids

we're old.....
