You're missing the precursors:

Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot... :)

The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.

I miss that moment when I became the cool kid in the channel because I had an IRC bouncer

There are still some good communities out there. I'm still on IRC every day.

It's about the only constant over internet use from 1994 to present. IRC and E-mail. Also the web kind of, but it's changed so so much.

I never really used email socially, was always a chat or some bulltin system

If we're including those then I think we have gone full circle and are back in the safe waters of protocols

As a really old person, I was thinking today the vibe was unlike anything I've felt since Fidonet ;)
