One of the things I like about #CoSo right now is that it feels like the early days before ubiquitous internet. I feel like dialing into a BBS on my 1200baud modem and going to the boards. Less noise, advertisements, AI-curated content being blasted to you in order to keep you hooked.
I can do without all of that.

Well said.
And true.
I have been here since August 2018, and the good news is it has always been like this.
So it has some institutional momentum to stay that way.
@AI78
Then you're in the right place (with upgrades though) 😅
Welcome👋
@AI78 glad to have you :)
@AI78
If you're on desktop, I have an image showing the breakdown of desktop mode.
If you have any questions, just ask.
@Faay I'd take that image. I'm doing both desktop and mobile.
Hah! Funny you mention that. We had some talk of those days during a recent CoSo Call. Even chatted about phone phreaks and 2600 magazine & Kevin Mitnik. BBS was a subject, too (though nobody recalled Lower Lights but me, I guess). Loved it, but I'm glad to never get asked "ASL?" anymore ;-)

Also see & use the hashtags you have interest in from @realDDGlover's profile.
Cheers!
@AI78 I get that, too. The early days feeling, and I've been here two days. 😊
@AI78 Yep! Gives me soc.motss flashbacks!
