Brociopathic Mendencies (@jackdaw_ruiz@normal.style) says "i am no longer saying the fediverse is like email. from now on the fediverse is a lot that turkish neighborhood of uncompleted mini-castles. it was supposed to be one beautiful-but-unrealistic thing, and instead it's a different broken-and-hilarious thing, and if anyone lives there you have to assume they were driven into the hills for being unable to exist in polite society.".

BBSes did have a weirdly prominent Star Trek thing going on in the late 80s/early 90s. I never thought about it enough to see how weird it was other than figuring it was mostly nerds being nerds (in a good way).

    I have zero problems with Trekkies. If anything, they're a welcome community, the sci-fi is hopeful and idealistic, it's positive science fiction.
