On Finding and Preserving Discord and Youtube
This is a slightly edited version of a diatribe I emitted on mefi.social. I really want people to see it and think about what it means though.

A dismaying thing is how much of current gaming culture is locked behind Discords, and/or is r

SCOOP : le nom de domaine Twitter est repris par #Compuserve.

@hosford42 I do share similar hopes about social media. I see corporate social media today like the #CompuServe and #AmericaOnLine/#AOL of the 1990s before standardized internet email became commonplace and you could be with any provider and choose your domain.

#DKB, je n'ai pas souvenir d'avoir connu ça, mais j'ai découvert #POVray sur #Amiga vers 1994, via les forums de #Compuserve. Et depuis, j'ai jamais arreté :)

Ok, there are companies like #META providing walled garden social media and now (give the impression to) open somehow up by adopting e.g. the #ActivityPub protocol. And they may try to somehow gain control by this.

On the other hand I remember the walled garden platforms of #CompuServe and #AOL with this tiny door into this „#Internet“ thingy, we know how this ended.

So I am absolutely not sure what will happen in the end. Especially if full support of the protocol is needed for federation.

@Gustodon @SecularJeffrey I was the holder of "serveucomp@compuserve.com".... sadly that's history...

Im Forum und Forums-Chat das erste Mal sozialisieren und die unglaublich gigantische NASA Welt mit stundenlangen (und teuren Downloads der Bilder) entdecken dank #CompuServe (erinnere mich auch lebhaft an die Modemtöne und die Liste der damals „günstigsten“ Einwahlzeiten)… hach. 🥰🥹✌️

#EverybodyWasDoingThisInThe90s

@petersuber I vividly remember the early days of the web when it was unclear whether it would matter to average people compared to walled-garden services like #AOL (then #AmericaOnline), #Prodigy, or #CompuServe.

IMHO the web’s early rise depended on two other factors:
• Graphical #browsers like #NCSA #Mosaic on mainstream computer operating systems (1993)
• Decommissioning of the US government-funded #NSFNET backbone, effectively ending restrictions on commercial Internet traffic (1995)

Trying to wind my mind bak to the late 1980s as a #compuserve user, when you would get "links" from people, to "out there" on the big overwhelming internet, where you had to type or paste stuff into an address bar. And all this endless stuff with a slightly less sharp attitude came up.

Somehow Compuserve lost it to the internet, only to temporarily have it grabbed by #Facebook and #Google etc. Interested to see how this will play out but definitely cheering for small independents on the #fediverse and booing the others.

@web Unglaublich, 25 Jahre und älter... Damals haben wir mit der Stoppuhr unsere wertvolle digitale Zeit abgemessen und locker mal 500/Monat dafür bezahlt. Stichwort #CompuServe und so.
Meine Teenies schauen mich fragend an wenn ich CDs hervor hole, und beweisen kann, wie früher Spiele „normalerweise“ installiert und gespielt wurden (wenn die Kiste dann überhaupt noch ein eingebautes CD LW hat!)… 😜 #Gaming #OldSchool #MMORPG #Sandbox

One of the things on my to-do list is to post a personal #introduction and today is the day that I will cross that off!

You can call me Sherry. I love to laugh, and am very joyful and fun overall. Wife to one man, mom to one daughter, and grandma. Owner of 2 #parrots and 2 #dogs (1 of which is my #ServiceDog). We live in a 5th wheel in the midst of one of Michigan's Amish communities on a secluded lot in a beautiful area. BA in #music - currently love playing my #Tyros5 and my small #ukulele collection. Use my music to worship #Jesus, am a #Bible believing #Christian living out the Scriptures 24/7 by holding God's hand throughout my life, failing only when I let go. Always aware I am His vessel. “Where the Bible speaks, we speak; where the Bible is silent, we are silent” (Thomas Campbell) is how I deal with most things. A strong conservative politically, I choose to focus instead on the eternal rather than the temporal in my relationships, online and off, and on loving those that God puts in my path, meeting them where THEY are. Love to cook, and eat to minimize the effects of my disabilities as much as I can since 2004. For me that's been #lowcarb and/or #keto and/or #ketovore and/or #carnivore almost exclusively. Been using social media since my #Compuserve and local #BBS days in the 80s, and my interest remains strong to these #Fediverse times because meeting interesting people is such a delight and joy!

#DoomScrolling, but its just me browsing #Compuserve forums looking for #Doom #Wads.
