fedi :fediverse: @masto.ai I post mostly about the fediverse. Formerly on Mastodon.Technology
@Labotomized
BBS - bulletin board system
1970s-80s
a person would run a server (often from home) and people would dial in over a regular phone line and browse the forum(bbs) and leave a text message. If you had one phone line only one person could log in at a time. you might wait weeks for someone to reply to your message. Both ends needed a modem to encode decode from digital to analog and back.

@liaizon
this is a really good idea. Say #kolektiva providing a mastodon, lemmy, funkwhale, pixelfed, peertube etc. to all users. I think any communities that do this in an organised fashion would gain a lot of new users..... but it is a lot of work. Would love to see mastodon.art do this.
follow (https://lemmy.world/c/newcommunities) for details of new communities popping up in the threadiverse/lemmyverse

@whitehouses this is the sort of thing the big tech companies do.... and then they claim that the fediverse sites(lemmy, mastodon etc) do it, in order to scare people from joining the fediverse.
The tracking that facebook, twitter etc do is not the way that fediverse sites operate. It is not a for profit space.
