Comment on This past week, Lemmy has gotten really good
BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 3 days agoAOL 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.
