Hands up who has heard of email? And sent an email?
Hands up who has heard of usenet? Would know where to start!
Ok.
My idea could also work with any message system. Turn your whatsapp and email and sms and so on into your “feed”.
See stuff in a “feed” that is quality enough that people are proud enough to send to you as a person rather than shitpost on a social
network.
Keep that stuff out of the data broker network.
- lproven 4y agoTens of thousands of people, maybe hundreds. Millions, a couple of decades ago. That's why it's _called_ Eternal September: because it was a feature for all AOL users. In 1997, ½ the US was online via AOL, and it had 175 million users per week. Just because you haven't heard of it does not mean it's obscure... or doesn't exist or isn't still alive and well.
