I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Yes. Absolutely. I was a kid in the 90s and discovered Geocoties and HTML and all the really basic shit when I was like 12. And it felt like that.
It was a blast making my own website on Geocities back then. I would spend hours just looking for the perfect wallpaper. It was exciting to see that people visited my site by looking at the hit counter.
