I've made my own instance, but gave up keeping it, because it fetched like half of the comments from other instances and federated only half of mine.

And also I don't think my single-user instance had positive impact on popular instances load. Data fetching is still happened.

Also don't understand people, who chose drinking as their hobby, compete in how many and what drinks they drank, how bad it was in the morning and what weird stuff they did under influence.

I like alcohol beverages, but not a stupid culture being built around drinking.

Drinking is not fun and loud parties too. Just understood, that I haven't had fun there most if the times.

Yeah, it looks cool. In my times it's been Tornado BBS, written in Pascal. By tuning that I've started my way into coding.

There were midnight chats with strangers, who chose to use 'yell sysop'; long explanations to parents, who weren't so understanding about phone line taken after 10PM. Such a great times that was)

There's a saying in Russian, "toad fucks the viper" for that situation. It means that both sides are evil and everything you can do in that situation is sit and enjoy them attacking each other.

You gotta search for MUDs with that description. That's how that kind of games was called.

I've hosted a BBS on my home town like 20 years ago. That was still a thing in ex-USSR at that time.
