That still exists. Except now it's not in IRC or BBSes but in Discord "servers" instead.
- TFNA 1mo agoDiscord servers skew towards a very young demographic. One of the striking things about the early-millennium blog scene was how much quality long-form-text interaction it facilitated among relatively older people: the average age around a lot of blogs on topics like the arts or literature was like 40 or 50. I think for people that age now, the internet is a much lonelier place.
