If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.
@evacide i miss the time when my home was irc and usenet

both of those places still exist and are active @mark @evacide

Your "homes on the internet"( in those two examples) didn't crumble,  you just left home.

Maybe it's time to revisit them 😀

@krejgo @mark @evacide every time I have tried usenet over the last 20 years it's all been piracy and spam.
@draeath @krejgo @mark @evacide Spraking of piracy, through about 2006-2007 I was able to use Usenet for serious discussions of pirate radio transmitter design and operation.
