Comment on Farewell to the fediverse
HubertManne@piefed.social 3 weeks agoso for me it goes back to newsgroups. I enjoyed those and morned the divide. slashdot took its place but its subject matter was limited so reddit took its place with me and now I have a true successor for newsgroups with the fediverse. im not looking to write a blog or such I just want to engage around topics im interested in.

Interesting. You sound old as hell (like myself), but someone who took a different path.
I tended to do 'forums' while you got the good ol' newsgroups, it sounds like?

I was not online much like late 95 to 98 which I think is newsgroups hey day. Also pre 95 was academia and after 98 was isp type of thing.

Well, I... guess that answers the question.
Thank you for answering!
(hmm, where does the word "answer" come from, anyway?)
