- finally got to "the modem world," @kdriscoll's brilliant lost history of the early internet & pre-WWW BBS multiverse, & how its forgotten protocols made non-corporate spaces for both (s) & unaffiliated users. if you're into and/or (& how the present reflects it), i recommend. it might be the most mastodonian book ever? also, the title font does proustian things to me. https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300248142/the-modem-world/ @bookstodon

Like "people-net" where people outnumber bots, where identity is perhaps anonymous, but at some point you must prove that you actually have an identity.

If indeed I am, then here is what I should do.

Special Interest Groups that I miss, that got swallowed up by Facebook.

SteelheadSite/forums (for fisherman)

Plant Nerd sites that may still exist but have withered. (helpmefind.com roses and others) hirsutum (rhododendron) , Daves Garden (general Gardening) The old text based S.O.A.R (Searchable Online Archive or Recipes) it became epicurious, then.. I don't know what happened, but it was better as text
