  2. 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.

    Been using Linux since the 0.98a kernel. Before that, I was using
    #SunOS, #NeXT and (probably) #AOS (university had a lab full of IBM RT PCs) UNIX derivatives. So, learning Linux was translating my existing knowledge and running the deltas through man pages and, especially #Usenet.

  4. If I recall correctly, #Usenet also kinda had an #HOA problem. Of course, it also had a #spambot problem. And a lot of other problems common in the #commons.
