Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

It's all still there, you just don't read it because there's not as much content just like in 2005.
I don't understand this "the old internet was better" and I was first on the internet in 1985. (Technically bitnet)
What exactly are you looking for?
It's like moving from r*** to lemmy. It feels fresh exciting and so far untainted by corpos. Plus people here/then we're actually tech literate since computing didn't care about the lowest common denominator like today. I'm baffled how many of my friends actually know nothing of technology but they use it every day all day... Thats what we loved about it i think.
It's called Eternal September and it's been going on for forever.

...tildes reminds me a bit of usenet culture before the eternal september...
That was a very hard habit to stop.
