I only think of Tumblr slacktivists who attack you just for existing and I can't take it seriously, which is a shame because the movement has some very good messages. :l

Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Yourself on the internet, eight or so years ago.

Social Justice makes me think of a league of superheroes wearing Social Justice Warrior capes and leotards that all have Social Justice Powers like comforting triggered people and handing out super-delicious ice cream and informing people of how ignorantly oppressive they are with just a touch of their finger and they're are all super diverse in every way and don't take any shit from anyone.

I remember my noob days on the internet. I was ten-years-old when I joined Serebiiforums. I double posted a lot. I didn't know how to post images from my computer, so I spammed someone's banner thread about how to do it. When it was unexpectedly closed, I didn't know why. D= No one ever answered my question either. Then there was this one time when I bumped up a thread that was talking about spamming. One of the admins (I think his username was Edward Elric) went into a whole ragefest about me bumping. I didn't know it at the time, but the thread was a sticky so I was within my rules. Anyway his rage scared the crap out of me, so I ended up becoming a lurker on pretty much every forum since.
Around my noob days I also spent months joining pretty much every Pokemon forum I could find. I still have my old Neopets account. I don't use it very much. I prefer using my old Subeta account which is around the same age. The username I tended to use everywhere was "freelymew". I joined DA with that name in Christmas 2005. I have had the urge of creating a new account, but I joined on Christmas day so I feel special whenever I see it. :3
I didn't join TCOD until the move to vBulletin. I didn't post very much. The community was very different. Everyone seemed so close to each other that I felt like I was intruding. I also felt this way over at the Valley of Nightmare's forums. Generally when I join a place, I don't delete my account and I login every now and then so that it isn't purged. Joining this place did prompt me to create a LiveJournal. :3
I remember making my very first website on Freewebs. The premade layout was a white background with pink headers and a pink menu. I thought I was so awesome with my website...then I found out you can only make seven pages unless you were in HTML mode. I didn't want to learn HTML because I thought it looked hard. Once I discovered Lissa Explains it All, I finally learned it. I had always wanted a website. One of my early HTML sites was just a Serebii clone. xD I was such a noob back then.
My art was terrible. I was drawing everything freehand with a mouse. I was determined to make nice images using a mouse. I didn't discover the tablet pen until maybe five years ago, but I didn't get my first tablet until last Christmas. O,o;
I was never social. I normally lurk everywhere. I still do that now only not as much as I used to due to lack of time. I'm slowly coming out of my shell. I find it hard to do it, but I'm trying.

Eight/nine years ago was when I first started learning to use the internet by myself. I tried making a Neopets account at that time, but I didn't know how to make an email so I didn't get to. During those times I mostly just looked up Fushigi Yuugi and Pokemon pictures and fanfics. I remember reading a sex scene in a FY fic and thinking "omg they really wrote penis" .... I also remember finding Digimon porn
We didn't have net for a few years after that, so when we got it again when I was 13, it was really exciting. I finally got to play on Neopets like I wanted to before. I remember how amazed I was at the fact that I could actually talk to other people online, and I spent hours the first night sending mail and posting in a bunch of threads looking for new friends. Most of my time on Neopets was spent in private mail just talking, so it wasn't all that embarrassing, but I also remember posting some "random" things on the forums and cheesy Pokemon fics involving stuff like scars and mysterious pasts. Anyway, I learned some basic stuff there like what XD is and what jk means...and stuff from the Neopets HTML help -__-
Eventually I left Neopets for another pet site called Zetapets, which was smaller and therefore had a much more friendly and organized forum. I also joined Serebii forums around the same time. I really loved Zetapets.. I was on there as long as possible everyday talking on the forums and collecting my favorite items. I participated in and started up a lot of bad rps which usually involved Pokemon, some kind of fantasy, or wolves. I remember once my cousin and I got into a fight with two other people on there after I defended a friend one of the people called "illiterate" ... even though I wasn't exactly sure what the whole deal really was.
Spending time on Zeta and Serebii was sort of like "training" or something for whenever I joined other sites. I know that I asked redundant questions and posted some generally dumb or uninformed things on both sites... I felt like Serebii was harsh to me so I moved on after I got bored and landed at TCoD. Still a bit green, yeah, but not so loud about it. I still rarely post, but it's one of my favorite forums to visit.
At some point I joined ff.net and youtube and posted my mediocre Tales of the Abyss fics and sloppy first videos. The fanfiction is...okay, but I kind of really hate reading it because of cheesiness.

Hmm... I'm turning 16 in a couple of weeks so 8 or so years ago would put me at age 8. Did I even play Pokemon when I was 8? I think I started playing it in 5th grade, and simple math puts me at 10 years old then. Apparently, I didn't even play Pokemon eight or so years ago.
Well, if I wasn't even playing Pokemon, then I probably wasn't on the Internet very often at all. I mean, every community and corner of the Internet that I've ever been to, it all traces back to the Pokemon community. I remember visiting zoobooks.com obsessively as a young child (as in, 3-5 years old) but that's really it.
When I first became an active user of the Internet, I was a huge noob and the exact kind of person (well, one of the kinds of people) that I absolutely hate today. I can't even identify with myself at that age at all, and I hope that this is a good sign of me maturing over the years and not a sign of some sort of mental disorder that I don't yet know of (and I know of a few mental abnormalities that I do have).
