@YourHeroes4Ghosts@hedge I started a couple years before that, in the late 80s, with BBSes. Facebook and Twitter in particular have felt like the beginning of the end. Socializing online was suddenly less about meeting new people, and more about catching up with people you knew in high school, which is a big no thanks from me. My friends in high school were from the BBSes, so I didn’t need to recapture those relationships on some other website.
