I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Not quite kid.
If you want the real experience, you need to become a worker bee. When you find a link the leads out, don’t just stop at whatever it links to. Hit their home page, look around. Read some stuff. And don’t come back until you have something to bring back to a community somewhere else here.
That’s the real 90s experience. Consuming entire swathes of a website at a time and then going and telling people about it and talking about it.
Do you think we need a community? Well open it. You can’t mod? So what, who cares, you can always give it up later. Open up the community anyways and start posting cool shit for other people to see and encourage them to bring cool stuff to show you too!
If you start doing that, then you’ve got a taste for the 90s experience. Also, listen to ska while you’re doing it.
you know what you’re talking about , or at least that’s the impression that I get - aw crap of course you linked to the Bosstones, never mind, here I was thinking I was being clever.
Lmao
