I dont know if this has been asked before or if this may be a little goofy of a question but I didn’t see anything relating to it and I’m kinda curious what the culture of Lemmy is like and what sort of common things people see. ive been paying attention to interactions but nothing is as good as just asking everyone.
I’m 51 and have been neck deep in tech since I can remember. On Linux since RedHat Halloween. The fediverse reminds me of the early days of the internet when it was all Usenet, IRC, GeoCities, etc.
I’m sometimes a little jelly about those that got to experience that era of the internet. I was born right on 2k and I still grew up feeling a little bit of that very briefly as a kid but not to any major degree.
I miss the days of AIM, ICQ, mIRC, Napster, kazoo, burning CDs at 2x, mp3 cd players
now it seems like everything is an app
