Welcome to Computer History.
We are nolstagia driven with our choice of posts and discussion of the impact of technology.
A lot of what ends up posted here has a bias towards the 1970s' up until now simply because "we" experienced a lot of this "new" technology directly as it was released.
Our community goal is to become more than just a collection of links-- we want to be a community of shared experience.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.capebreton.social, are as follows:

Telnet was the internet for me in the early years.
There was a bug at the local university dialup for students and teachers - if you failed to login three times it would drop you to a screen where it told you to disconnect but you could actually telnet from that screen.
I used that to go to a few internet BBS's, and then eventually to MUDs which were early text based multiuser RPGs.
sdf.org is another one that's fun to poke around on for nostalgia or learning.
