I jump between social networks every few years. My social network path has gone from AOL chat groups, to Yahoo News groups, to Facebook for a few years, to Twitter, to Mastodon, to Reddit.
Last week I decided to test Lemmy out. Best thing I can say about it is that it's not any worse than all the others. Which is a pretty good compliment really, considering the resources and network advantages that all the others have.
Absolutely. It's a testament to what people that care can do.
I love it here.
AOL chat rooms were my jam. I remember role playing games in the gaming chat section in middle school. You would create characters in your bio. I miss that.
They were so... Innocent.
Like, everyone trusted everyone. Like, sure perfect stranger online, I don't mind telling you my real name, home address, and age. What's the harm?
Haha I don't know about that!
It was ingrained into me to never share anything until Facebook normalized it. I always feared some nutcase would come to my house because I made a solid yo momma joke that broke him.
I did a/s/l in a vague way, telling people I was 1-2 years older than I was, which was required to meet hotties also in the AOL chatz.
