I’ve spent a couple of hours on Matodon and it reminds me of what the internet was like back in the mid 1990s. Does anyone remember IRC? Dial up bulletin boards? Like that but better. #FirstImpressions

@FreyaSu Absolutely. For people that didn't experience those heady days, this will blow them away.

@chema we didn’t ever think the internet could be used for commercial purposes. It was just for fun….

Same here. My first exposure to the internet was at a local university, mostly using a public Macintosh IIcx at the library and a VT terminal connected to a VAX/VMS mainframe. I still remember years later seeing my very first banner ad on Yahoo and feeling shocked at the boldness.
