Over the weekend the US TikTok community was saying its final goodbyes, only for the app to make a speedy resurrection a few hours after it was 'banned'. While many of us rejoiced over its return, over on Reddit users were getting a little sentimental, remembering the beloved social media platforms that weren't so lucky.

Whether it's that signature Y2K website design or the fresh spirit of the blooming Internet age, there's something magical about the early digital world. Admittedly we might be blinded by nostalgia, but nothing beats the Wild West that was the early internet. From chatrooms to flash games, get ready for a trip down memory lane.
