I'm running for local office in September. I'm way way down the ticket and won't get elected. But I just got email advising me on how to clean up my social media to avoid attacks from political opponents.
The main instruction is "Check through your posts starting with the first one".
That's many many posts a day.
Starting 31 years ago if #UseNet groups count.
Or 38 years ago if #FidoNet bulletin board systems count.
Nope. 😄

#SciFi #Unwiring is a collaborative story by IIRC #cstross and #CoryDoctorow about seeding a country with a network of wireless nodes.#FidoNet was (is?) a decentralised message passing network in the modem age.
#CIX and the program for it #AMEOL2 also allowed a phone call to receive and pass many forum messages to read and compose at leisure.
There is an #RFC for IP traffic by #pigeon which is extreme, but packets could go by USB stick, QR code ...

meine Maschine und mein mobiles Device freuen sich, da #dropBox und #oneDrive nun Geschichte sind. Alles nun wieder in eigener Hand, wie zu #Zerberus und #Fidonet-#Zeiten als wir noch RLL-Platten und Bandlaufwerke hatten 🙂 Wie Menschen sich selbst in die #Steinzeit zurück katapultieren, wenn sie #Rechtspopulisten, #rückwärtsgewandte #Politiker und #Politikerinnen (#CDU, #CSU, #FDP in Deutschland), #dumme und noch viel #schlimmere #Menschen an die #Schaltstellen der #Macht lassen...

История игровой журналистики в России. Часть 5: Забытые журналы 90-х
Во второй половине 90-х вышло множество игровых журналов, которые продержались лишь несколько лет и остались в тени своих конкурентов. Все они не получили широкого распространения, имели большие проблемы с финансами и закрылись до 1999 года. Скорее всего, о некоторых журналах вы даже не слышали.

CW: Long thread/3
When I got on #Usenet shortly thereafter, the Unix Greybeard set never passed up an opportunity to tell us newcomers that the #Fidonet-Usenet bridge allowed the barbarian hordes to overwhelm their Athenian marketplace of ideas:

When I joined #TheWELL in the late 1980s, I was repeatedly assured that the good times were over, and that we would never see their like again:

Hey, #fediverse how many exoduses from social media/forums/networks you experienced throughout your life?
I’ll start:
1. #fidonet to internet
(that’s due to internet becoming more accessible)
2. #livejournal to nowhere (bad management decisions of SUP pissed off a lot of users at least in RU segment)
3. #friendfeed to one of its successors. (FF closed by Facebook which bought it to get ownership of the “like” feature)
4. #twittermigration (for obvious reasons).You?

In the mid 80s I was trolling around looking for gigs deploying #Fidonet nodes as information/communications hubs for distributed organizations. #TorontoZoo was one interested party, they saw the value, but had no money.
Later, the Chatham Agricultural Exchange deployed Fidonet, and in response to my surprise at their progressive thinking, explained, "Farmers who don't own their own technology won't stay farmers very long."

Hach, damals, als Instanzen noch #Mailboxen hießen und Admins SysOps. Meine #Mailbox "Boomerang" (hier ANSI-Ansichten von ca. 1989) lief auf RemoteAccess unter MS-DOS. Eine analoge Telefonleitung mit 2400bps-Modem. Später föderierte ich auch im #FIDOnet. Dezentrale Infrastruktur FTW.
Spannende Zeiten für einen 13-Jährigen. Bis dann die Festplatte crashte. #NoBackupNoMercy
