"Is this what the internet felt like?"

I’ve been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?

Followed by the following comments:

When the world wide web was fresh? Absolutely, it was.

That’s about how I remember it. Having your own webpage, running servers from your PC, dabbling in all kinds of new communication methods.
Heck, friend of mine ran an email and shell account ISP from his bedroom for a number of years.

Folks, kids are rediscovering the freedom of the old internet.

How ironic that this was caused by an internet corporation CEO getting greedy.
