how it feels to be on Lemmy rn

My reaction to this post

Honestly I just jumped to Lemmy after dndmemes sent me this way and it feels like I'm delving into early internet forums back in the day, fresh and new and full of excitement for the future

put an old man face on that kid and you've nailed it

Hard to believe our hover-keyboards used to have wires!

This image brought to you by the time-period when anything with young people had to have skateboarding, surfing, or roller blading.

It was the law.

I was told it was weird to use the phrase "surfing the web" the other day. I am not even that old.

Don't forget your dual-wheel, 4D+ mouse!

This picture makes me nostalgic for an era I barely remember being alive for.

sorry if i made anyone feel old

Hold on to your butts - we’re gonna surf the web

We just completed another cycle, we are back in the 90s

I love you guys. Lemmy is seriously the most fun I've had online in a long while. Also loving the serious posts and comments.

Ngl I'm as high as these kids.

Velcro shoes were the best

Nice to meet you, fellow explorers of cyberspace!

If I could find my Encarta Encyclopedia disks, I would look up where this image comes from!

Yes I am old.

Does it really feel like the old web though? I'm a zoomie (22) and I kinda developed a rose tinted nostalgia for the old web (Windows 98 era) where I didn't even live in (tbf apparently a lot of zoomers have some nostalgia obsession with some sort of era).

Veteran lads, can Lemmy capture the old web feeling?

COOL K1D 1S TH1S YOU

It does feel very fresh, indeed!

This interview may have been the golden age of the internet - will we see something like this for Lemmy? Who knows.

The fact that this is true is honestly my favorite part of Lemmy. I love the old school feeling of it being a novelty and a free for all and a work in progress all at once.

Wait, the internet is on computers?

A/S/L folks!

We’ve had the internet inside all of us this whole time ✨

Does it bother anyone else that the mouse is coming out of the left side of the keyboard? Did they actually configure keyboards like that at any point?

I feel like I'm back playing Ultima Online. Corp Por?

I just heard that international standards now stipulate that when referring to Internet and the WWW, that it is no longer a requirement to capitalize. its just internet and the web now, if anyone still even uses those words.

Reddit just nuked all my accounts, nice to back to a more open community!

(first post)

Lemmy is like a big circus tent full of scary, boring creatures and pornography

Hell yeah

This post has me excited for my new adventure with Lemmy. I've decided to make the transition from Reddit, tired of their new changes and other bullshit. Cheers to a new adventure.

Wow! It' s like going back to the early internet, and I like it!

Chill and federated (⌐■_■)

On your mark, get set, we're riding on the internet...

New to here, as for now: better than calckey and mastodon

I hate a moral coward, one who lacks a manly spark I just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark I always spend my evenings where there's women wine and song But like a man, I always bring my little wife along!

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew I'm a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you'll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew

The fun it doesn't stop 'til twelve on happy old Broadway So what's the use of going home, until the break of day? Now, something confidential, whisper not above a breath I once went home at two AM, and scared my wife to death

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew I'm a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you'll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew

I never shall forget the night I made six robbers run Although I didn't have a knife, a blackjack, or a gun I proved myself a hero of a very high degree I ran for home, and six of them, were running after me

I'm a member of the Midnight Crew I'm a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you'll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew

One of my friends tonight told me I was cool for having Windows 95.

I LOVE IT!

Heck yeah !

Why yes. Yes it does. Does anyone have the tim and Eric innernette sketch? It’s been gone from YouTube for a while

Strider: BE THE HERO

Omg yes

Wait this image I’ve seen before…when I was a kid? Where is it from?
