> "Hey, do you guys remember BBSs?"
No, nobody does, and it's not like the fediverse at all, stop with your crappy analogies

@lain Nope. I was too poor to even own a computer when BBSs were popular. I got a used 386SX machine in the late 1990s because it was required for the masters program I was in.

... And I got an AOL account (like most people did back then) because they mailed me their software on CD every week. Remember staying up past 22:00 local time because that was when the dial-up line was less congested and you could get online and do what you needed to do?
