Yeah I get what you mean, even though I didn't grew up with BBSes, a tad to young for that. I wholeheartedly think that those mega social media companies are a terrible idea, that now and always show their ugly face, and that socializing should be brought back to: personal homepages, federated blogs and forums and heck even federated video sharing.
Also, I still think its pretty magical that I have an account on feddit.de and can still talk/chat/discuss with you on lemmy.ml. And so can microblog/comment on various mastodon instances while only been registered on one.
Yeah as you say it's pretty magical ... although also janky. It really does show the possibilties of federation in a way that mastodon by itself never seemed to. And @[email protected] great analogy to BBSes!
