    Dialup BBSes->usenet->Slashdot->Digg->Reddit->Lemmy. I’m sure it’ll happen again.

    Lemmy really reminds me of those old BBSes though – I’m connecting to my local server, it’s federating messages like FIDOnet used to do, just much faster :)

        My IRC experience is largely limited to openprojects.net (later freenode), and it had tools in place to prevent that drama. By the time the network collapsed under post-lilo management, I had already moved on. The drama that existed on other servers felt like rumour only.
