I caught the tail end of BBS culture and modern internet culture is nothing like it. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17534985 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17534985 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17535165 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17535165 for an example
- mmt 8y agoAgreed. It may be safe to compare BBS culture with Usenet culture, not least of which because Fidonet enabled so much overlap toward that tail end you mention, but the sheer ubiquity alone makes today's Internet a different situation entirely.
