#BBSs #CyberCulture #DigitalCulture: "On Friday, Ward Christensen, co-inventor of the computer bulletin board system (BBS), died at age 78 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois. Christensen, along with Randy Suess, created the first BBS in Chicago in 1978, leading to an important cultural era of digital community-building that presaged much of our online world today.
Friends and associates remember Christensen as humble and unassuming, a quiet innovator who never sought the spotlight for his groundbreaking work. Despite creating one of the foundational technologies of the digital age, Christensen maintained a low profile throughout his life, content with his long-standing career at IBM and showing no bitterness or sense of missed opportunity as the Internet age dawned.
"Ward was the quietest, pleasantest, gentlest dude," said BBS: The Documentary creator Jason Scott in a conversation with Ars Technica. Scott documented Christensen's work extensively in a 2002 interview for that project. "He was exactly like he looks in his pictures," he said, "like a groundskeeper who quietly tends the yard.""

Para cobrir as muitas, muitas #perguntas e #dúvidas similares de #Brasileiros na #Migração para #Mastodon ... 🇧🇷
Se você usou, conheceu ou ouviu falar de #IRC or #BBSs (yes, I am OLD), você não terá problemas para entender #Mastodon / #Fediverse.
Instâncias/servidores independentes, baseadas em um protocolo de software aberto ( #FOSS #OpenSocialMedia #ActivityPub ) conectadas ( "federadas" ) por escolha de comunidades/administradores permitindo usuários a conectarem com outras pessoas e grupos de interesses similares, dividir trabalho/arte/idéias/etc SEM INTERESSES COMERCIAIS além de sua própria produção individual (você é livre para oferecer seus serviços profissionais, SEM SPAM)
Você pode escolher suaS instânciS (sim, plural) dentro de Mastodon, e estas instâncias sendo conectadas ( #federated ) com outras, usuários nas outras instâncias poderão ver seus posts. Não existe algoritmo, então Boosts de indivíduos são importantes, para disseminar posts. Uso de hashtags ajuda a procurar e achar posts com assuntos que interessam a você.
Siga gente livremente! É a melhor forma de expandir sua #timeline
Respeite escolhas dos usuários; ninguém é OBRIGADO a deixar você seguir. Você também tem escolha de ter um perfil aberto ou controlado; diferença sendo quem pode ver o que você post, e sew podem seguir você SEM sua permissão.
Traga sua contribuição à sopa cultural do Mastodon. Divirta-se! Respeite os usuários, assim como você gostaria destes respeitarem você. Siga regras das instâncias. Não empurre ou tente forçar SUA visão de mundo aos outros, quaisquer que estas sejam. Faça o que você gosta, deixe outros fazerem o que gostam, desde que não prejudique outros, Fácil!

A pretty fascinating multi-part look at the IGS BBS protocol (Instant Graphics, later Instant Graphics & Sound) on the Atari ST.
This is part of the #BBS scene that I missed, I must say. By 1990 I was still BBSing full tilt, but had moved off of Atari.

#This is my #introduction post, Sharkey edition (it's basically the same one as I posted when I joined mastodon.me.uk).
I am, like many others here, a refugee from other social media sites. In my case, it all started way back in 1990 when I did the #OU DT200 information technology course. This gave me access to their CoSy based conferencing system. From there I explored various #BBSs before joining #CIX. From there I migrated to #Facebook and #Twitter via #Usenet and alt newsgroups.
My posts are likely to cover a variety of areas such as: #Cats, #Photography, #Cooking and #Running. Now that I've got a few more characters to play with I may also post the occasional #rant. -
Virtual and In person in Mountain View, CA on April 25th:
Long before online forums and communities like Reddit and Discord, and even before the World Wide Web, bulletin board systems (#BBSs) reigned supreme. During their heyday in the 1980s and '90s, millions of people dialed their modems into more than 100,000 BBSs

Another day, another #moralpanic about Those #Kids These Days and all the #Crazy Stuff They Say On The #Internet.
Forty years ago (!) I was a fourteen-year-old #JROTC cadet, in the last great hot time of the #ColdWar, obsessed with reading #SoldierOfFortune. I was also an early adopter of what’s now called social media.
They were called bulletin board systems, or #BBSs for short. Usually somebody’s home computer with a few phone lines coming in. You’d dial the number, wait for the screech to come through the handset, slam the handset into the modem’s acoustic coupler, and … magic happened.
On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. But on BBSs, they sure knew you were a kid—the more so the more you tried to hide it. Not that many of the adults were much more mature, but I digress.
See, kids do kid things. In my case, as the abovementioned 14-year-old SOF-reading cadet, it was the signature I appended to every post: “Dan the Merc.”
There. That’s a thing you know now.
Can you imagine anything cooler? Anything tougher? Anything more ABSOLUTELY BADASS? Wait, don’t answer that. You in the back, stop snickering.
Relax. Kids grow up.

CW: re: Fediverse meme
@ecliptik @w4v3 #UUCP was used primarily at universities and corporations; #FidoNet by #BBSs. Both #Usenet and #Email ran atop UUCP. You could also send commands to be run on a remote system, and you'd get an email with the result. #FidoNet also had its version of email and Usenet (discussion groups), called netmail and echomail. Technically, #UUCP was the protocol; the network of systems using it went by various names, such as UUCPnet or UUnet. 2/

Well said!
Haven't read the Atlantic yet, but you are right. My third day poking around on Mastodon (via newsie.social server started for journalism pros, profs, etc.), having flashbacks to my 1980s exploring #Usenet, #fidonet #BBSs, #CompuServe, #thewell, #BIX, #Delphi and more.Very curious about whether the Federated model will get average-person friendly enough in apps, installation and navigation for my non-geek FB neighbor groups, powerful as a local newspaper.

Reading "Modem World" and it made the point that #BBSs were local communities - where people often knew each other in person. Even when #FidoNet came out, a person's Fido address reflected geography. There was a community.
Now with social media, even Mastodon, I get to converse with people worldwide with like-minded interests... but I know zero people on Mastodon that are near me geographically.
