    I did interact with a BBS site or two, but then got caught up in the AOL wave. I used their platform, Geocities, and a few other chat sites. Once ditching AOL around 1999 I ended up on a local forum we used for electronic music, and then in 2003 made my way to a Star Wars fansite forum called BlueHarvest (I moderated there the last couple of years before the admin shut it down in 2008 or 2009). A couple friends and I then communicated via a forum we made for ourselves. Then Facebook, then Reddit…now here.

    EDIT

    I also had accounts with MySpace and Friendster too…Twitter for a few years around Arab Spring, but I didn’t like it. Even back then The Bird was a toxic mess with rare moments of humanity. I think my avatar is still shaded green…if my account still exists.

      Friendster was the OG! There was also Petster for people who were disappointed that Friendster didn’t allow profiles of pets.
