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?

    I want to say that I first experienced a y-splitter like that when I had DSL in ~2003, with filters on the phone lines. softphones - I used Avaya at a job in ~2007 or so and then never saw it again until recently at my current job, though we have mainly transitioned to Amazon Connect/Microsoft Teams/Cisco Jabber for telecom stuff across most of the divisions (event starting to transition away from VOIP desk phones).
