I was just thinking this morning how much this platform reminds me of Usenet, at least in its cross-server "fediverse." I remember waiting days sometimes for different Usenet servers to sync up so I could get replies to shit I posted a week ago. The lag may not be as drastic with Mastodon/Lemmy/Kbin/whatever, but it's the same basic concept.

None of this, though, makes me nostalgic for the days of newsgroups. That shit was a hot mess, and I'm frankly glad it's effectively gone the way of gopher.

Lennvor OP ,

Did you feel it was a hot mess in terms of the interface, or in terms of the culture?
