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?
Before everything became aggregated you had to discover things on your own or know people who tell you about cool shit. The influencers of their times. Old Tech Tv shows would literally have segments of dope websites they found and shared them. It was a time when you wanted a place on the internet it would be your own webpage that you set up you paid for and maintained. It's how we got "webmasters" for a while before the wordpress and squarespaces of the world came to be.
