Jason Perlow ✅🐧🍔 ✍️In the 1980s to get online, in addition to grokking your PC you had to know how to configure a modem and a comms program, needed phone numbers for BBSes or online services. Nothing was just handed to you. Because of this friction, the user community we were left with were mostly -not- stupid people. Did we have trolls, yes. Even smart people can be toxic. But it wasn’t on Twitter or Facebook scale and they were easily dealt with. We can replicate that with this paradigm.
Claude Champagne@jperlow Many brillant people are not tech savy. Just saying.
@ClaudeChampagne this does nor require tech savvy in the least. It requires maybe 30 mins of investigation to decide which server to be on. Could it be a little easier yes. Remember back in the day when you needed a phone book to find out a phone number for your local pizza place? Same deal.
