Fediverse skews older than traditional social media from what I've seen.

Yeah I'm realizing the fediverse feels so homey because it seems dominated by people old enough to remember the internet of the 90s, the ones that knew AOL was not the entire internet or even 'web' proper. We're already acclimated to an internet where 'discoverability' took a little more elbow grease.

I actually had to read books to learn about computers and start using BBSs. Thankfully, my mom supported my reference manual habit 100% since we only traveled to a city that had a book store every few months.

I couldn’t afford all the books I wanted as a kid. I would go to the book store and read C programming books.

What's happening now does remind me of the early days of the net. I didn't have 80 s access like darpa.

I first got Internet access in the early 90s at work.

There was this incredible sense of hope. And then the Nigerian prince scams and all that crap started happening.

It's a great resource. But yes, elbow grease is not optional.

I think I finally realize why the news and politics communities are so popular here.
