@andybaio@xoxo.zone Heh, always some kind of dorky excuse like "oh this is just The Internet, you ever heard of it, son?" "nobody used PLATO" (it had more users than ARPANET until 1981) "BBSes didn't count" "COCONET? never heard of it, and therefore it never existed" same as it ever was, same as it ever was
