It’s not just me, right? The internet kicked ass in the 90s and 2000s. It was an experience to dial in. Cannot speak for the BBSs of the 80s as I came after Eternal September.

Yahoo groups and news groups and Myspace and what was the big one geocities.

Actually read it was very good too when they didn't have any subreddits and they were no moderators. It was very active during George w Bush's presidency and countered many lies of the big health insurance companies. You could get a top comment over Reddit that would be seen by 20 million people if you were talking about how health insurance companies were screwing people over after they got sick and other things like that. Read it used to be a great way to get information to everybody which is exactly why the Jews quickly bought it and subdivided it into all these different factions so no one would ever see something that their faction didn't already believe.
