A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You're missing the precursors:
Email -> Newsgroups -> CGI forums / IRC -> Slashdot... :)
The new Fediverse really is kicking up IRC and newsgroup vibes for this old timer. Its very exciting.
+1 you're right. Especially IRC...oh how I miss those days.
I miss that moment when I became the cool kid in the channel because I had an IRC bouncer
If we're including those then I think we have gone full circle and are back in the safe waters of protocols
