@sitharus@cloudisland.nz I came here to say this and you beat me to it. My first experience of the internet was BBSes I paid actual money to connect to. I also joined Twitter in 2007. Back then, you didn’t need to worry about your “reach”, you just posted whatever you were thinking even if it was like what song happened to be playing at the moment.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz Probably like you, I joined when it was called Twttr! And it was better then.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz Same here; I joined Twitter in 2007 (as @dltq@oslo.town) and I loved it there. A lot has happened in these 15 years. And I myself mentally moved on already in 2010/2011 even though I still used it now and then.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz I know exactly what mean. This time round, we know what's at stake - let's hope we don't mess this up again!

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz I didn't grow up in a rural area, but I'm the same. I do use it for both escapism and connection, but yes, I would much rather hear from and talk to real people!

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz What a great way to look at it. A lot of us yearn for the old internet but maybe we've forgotten what it looks like? There's def stuff that could be improved, but I'm a fan so far.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz I did not have the time to take a closer look on the search and I also love the old/pioneer feeling. But somehow, I think, it's 2022 and a powerful search is a crucial feature for any modern App. But as I wrote, I have to take a closer look.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz this is my take as well. Been on Twitter since 2008, and the vibes I get here are very much early Twitter vibes.

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz Joined T in 2009, but just to look why others are talking about it. Didn't know what to write. Missed those days in the past years, when I suddenly thought about "reach" and what would happen when I would click the like button

@sitharus@cloudisland.nz >This also is very much like early Twitter. Which should make us think about what keeps it from becoming like Twitter in 10 years? One advantage is the possibility of running a small/individual instance. But most email goes through Gmail...
