If you are in your late thirties to mid-forties right now, there is a good chance that you have spent most of your life in a cycle of making some sort of home on the internet only to have it crumble beneath you like chalk and having to start over.

@evacide felt this a little too hard. I’ve about given up on trying to be social online.
@evacide I tried FB briefly, because there was the chance to catch up with family, then a spell on Xitter in the 140-character days, then as they went toxic I started slowly retreating back to a few of the quieter BBSs, then I found the Fediverse :-)
@evacide It's like that scene in Hot Fuzz in the flower shop. BBSs (God rest them), GEnie (God rest it), Usenet (God rest it), eWorld (God rest it), LiveJournal (this one still stings), the entire Flash community (God rest it), Twitter (no comment) ...
@evacide 53 here, same.
@evacide @eestileib might be time for me to jump back on IRC
