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?
It felt exactly like this. Instead of checking the same few sites over and over all day, there were so many cool sites that you could buy a monthly magazine with cached webpages on a CD-ROM. Iโd actually be cool with that again in 2023, honestly.
It would be normal for ISP's to give you some free webspace to build your own site, that's how perfectly ordinary it was assumed to be for regular people to be having their own self-hosted sites.
