Casual Conversation

3870 readers

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I had created my first account on Orkut when l was 16 or 17, or maybe 18. And that was how my journey began on social media. Now of course, Orkut doesn't exist. Which had been your first social media (multiverse.soulism.net)

Does posting on BBS count as 'social media'? Asking for a friend.

Could you please elaborate what is BBS ??🤔🤔🤔

[–] Libb@piefed.social 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

BBS. My bad, I should have added a link. But I insist: I'm not that old, I'm only asking for a friend 😇

WOW 😲😲 So it was used way back in the 70s ??🤔🤔🤔

We need to go back to these basics, considering how the big corps are tightening their noose around our neck.

I only started using it in the early to mid-80s myself, but yeah its kinda getting old... a bit like me, as a matter of fact ;)

I would love to see a lot of young people agree with you, but it's already so late I'm not even sure it's still possible to massively move back to a pre corporate-owned tech. People have been taught to expect convenience above anything else... it will be hard work to change that... which doesn't go along very well with the idea of convenience.

To be honest, Zuckerberg and l are of the same age. He's looking how to give younger people more convenience, whereas l would love to take the internet out of the clutches of the big corps.
