People yearn for how the internet felt 15-20 years ago — a wilder place where you could meet kindred spirits

Farcaster is the closest thing I’ve found to that experience now and I suspect that’s why so many of us are compelled to be here

I'm GenX and I've been online since 1993. I remember those early heady days of the internet with great fondness, and I agree that Farcaster is the closest thing to that experience. That's one of the reasons I love it here.

Gotta admit I miss old-school phpBB discussion forums and "webrings" of bloggers, too. Made most of my IRL friends that way. Can't help but wish FC channels had a similar vibe.
