Influx of Lemmy brothers and sisters incoming. Already 3K and growing deep, we may as well rebuild together. Let’s do this! 🤝

Edit : Yes there are workarounds using Revanced. Check the comments for some awesome help on how to do this if you wish! Just know, in the future it will most likely end up being patched annoyingly and I therefore recommend looking forward to the future with us here.

        Oh my… I remember IRC or was it IRQ? I can’t remember either way I’m old because I found out about it talking to someone on MSN.

        Edit: It was ICQ and I’m a square for getting them confused.

            IRC was basically pre-everything. Before ICQ and MSN and WhatsApp and surely before telegram.

            Probably only Usenet was older, if we’re talking about social networking software.

                Usenet was a hierarchical structure for what became the forums. You had a main tree and then separated branches for every argument, for example alt.sports then alt.sports.martialarts then alt.sports.martialarts.karate

                Usenet was text only, very fast with old modems compared to web pages.

                All the files (and piracy stuff) were relegated to alt.binaries
