RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.
@Daojoan I miss newsgroups and IRC...
@undefined_variable @Daojoan I still use IRC on a daily basis. It's not gone.
@azonenberg @undefined_variable +1.

There's something like 30k people signed into Libera at any moment - and all the old names like EFNet, DALnet, etc are still there.
@aaron @undefined_variable Even flyback is still there, lol.
@aaron @azonenberg @undefined_variable
