@tomjennings Yes, there is.

What @timoj said 😊

We have had 4 Waves of online Social Media.

The 1st Wave happened BEFORE the mass-Internet.

🔴 Each wave has replaced or absorbed the previous wave.

Artist Dmitry Soshnikov used archived messages from EXEC PC to train a FidoNet LLM and generate endless #echomail conversations:

*> "FIDONet spirit is alive again, but FIDONet simulacrum that you see is populated not by the living people, but by their cybernetical immortal digital twins, that talk to each other infinitely in the realms of modern datacenters"*

(NB: the installation displays pre-generated messages to "minimize the carbon footprint")
