@dlakelan Idiots are everywhere, there is no escaping them. Even in here.

One of us one of us...its not the age that matters its the vibe.

@dlakelan There isn't a "big mood" style of expression big enough to express the size of the mood I'm currently experiencing from your toot.
This was all a mistake. We should go back to disconnected BBSes. Or maybe ditch all the digital stuff and return to encyclopedias.
@douglasvb @dlakelan Heck, even BBS's had FidoNet for sharing packets of updates. And there was listserv. People like to network.

@dlakelan in fairness, some of us were just hanging around when it was being built and have regretted not having A Quiet Word
with the people doing it ever since -

@douglasvb @dlakelan Me in the 90's/00's: "Encyclopedias are beholden to the biases of traditional publishing companies and professional editorial boards and therefore inherently flawed. In this comment on a wikipedia article talk page, I will..."
Me now: "No time to talk, I'm too busy hoarding encyclopedia sets from the thrift store as a record of the times before the LLM infopocalypse!"

@dlakelan I may have placed a brick or two, but I don't think that really counts as building it.

@dlakelan I am in this demographic I mean toot, and this might be the most accurate description of the fedi.

@dlakelan Yep, late 40s and I often find myself thinking I’d like to have the freedom to actually travel to a place that is devoid of cars, corporations, advertising and technology. Natural landscapes and traditional pastimes like music, theatre, painting, dancing and storytelling only, no phones/screens permitted. Constant screen time and information overload has ruined our quality of life.

I'm deeply sorry for ALL of the work I did for fortune 500 companies. -

Well I'm 40+ but can't really take credit for building the www. Unless, ofc, you count all those nights spent on IRC shootin' the shit back in the day.Good times.
