Let's hope more news stories mentioning Lemmy leads people to join us here. Ive been loving this place as much as I loved reddit when I first found it, and I hope more people get to experience what I am experiencing
The fact that we're communicating from so many different websites blows my mind! Just a little extra thing that makes this platform even more fun for me :)
It really feels like I'm actually exploring the internet. And the idea that I could turn an old laptop or raspberry pi into a server, adding to the fediverse: it feels like I'm living in the future
Is this how kids in the 90s felt when the internet was just gaining traction?
Kid from 90s that grew up with the advent of the internet. Itβs somewhat similar, but still very managed and controlled. Internet in the 90s was absolutely wild. Obscure corners, all sorts of content, free, open and you could spend days and days exploring it and still couldnβt enough of it. All of it was unique, driven by passions, curiosities, desires, people wanting to express themselves.
I sort of dislike what it has become and how everything is monetized. But I suppose, this is the cost of progress and innovation in the rest of the areas of our lives.
Late night internet chats, dropping the A/S/L and expecting the person to reply honestly. Those were the days.
