I used the internet and before that Fidonet/BBS's etc when "nobody" was on them, only tinkers, hackers, researchers and scientists, why should I care that now I only use platforms in the internet like gemini/gopher/fediverse/usenet where "nobody" is on them? in my eyes I am still using what I like the way I like it not the way people that came after me had everyone else do #think #HackerCulture #TheHackerEthic #BBS #FidoNet #Usenet #Gemini #Gopher

Going to subscribe to this #Usenet provider in Berlin for only 10 euros/YEAR, I have been using it so much and participating on

Epilogue: In 2001 #Google bought the #DejaNews #Usenet archive and folded it into #GoogleGroups, but less than a decade later Groups was alternating between usability-destroying tweaks and utter neglect. People still use Groups, but IMHO Deja News should have a gravestone on @codyogden’s https://killedbygoogle.com

Cyberstalking Web 1.0 figures of yore: #SteveMadere of #DejaNews, the search engine founded in 1995 that transformed #Usenet from an ephemeral #federation of topic-based notes into a rich library of knowledge. Until it tried to pivot into the #eCommerce headwinds of the #DotComBoom and cratered in 2001.
