@Suedeltica So, I’ve been around for what is turning out to be a long time now, and I can tell you that pre-web-based internet, I used to BBS a lot. And the fun thing there was we were online with people within our long-distance calling range basically. So we had that early sense of online community, but with people we eventually ended up meeting up with in real life once we got old enough to drive and be unsupervised and stuff. And the BBS’s are long, LONG gone now, but these are some of the people I’m actually RL closest with to this day. So I guess I’m saying, yeah, the networks they come and go, and the people come and go too, but we do end up keeping the ones who really matter. FB isn’t the first to disappear, and it won’t be the last. The world changes so much, and there will be something new eventually. There always is.
