  1. I've heard Elon Musk is about to launch an amazing new app called Xchat, but I'm confused: I recall using it already in the early 2000's!

  2. Sometimes, I miss certain aspects of the old internet 👴🏻:

    - Usenet via NNTP (discussion threads in plain text)
    - Chats on IRC (chat without bullshit)
    - Simple websites that were about content and passion instead of monetarization, tracking and advertisement.

    Meanwhile the modern net in 2025:
    - Ads and intrusive tracking omnipresent
    - Centralization, platform economy, gate keeping and entshittificatiion.
    - Overregulation and legal pitfalls everywhere.

    The Fediverse is a step into the right direction: Open protocol, decentralized and community driven, in a time where huge parts of the net are simply driven by corporate greed and governments that want to regulate everything.
