Comment on AOL Pretends to be the Internet - The History of the Web
PeutMieuxFaire@kbin.social 1 year agoWould that be what is referred to as Eternal September? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September
I discovered it only a few weeks ago and I am sad to say that 1994-1995 was when I went online for the first time. With an AOL "Free 20 hours access". I undoubtedly contributed to degrade the quality of discussions, not mentioning choking several dial-accesses with the freakinig 50x50 pixels pictures I uploaded on my very first homepage.
Sorry, I'm so sorry…

That was Usenet, IRC and BBSs didn’t integrate into AOL iirc unless AOL added support for them later, you had to dial into them specifically
