@driscoll Many of you reading this will have never experienced the #BBS era. To use #Fediverse lingo, the high cost of long-distance phone calls caused BBS instances to be geographically-oriented and mostly small, despite global federation networks like #FidoNet. Kevin wove those stories in with what has happened with social media since. I've seen several people here note the similarities between BBS and Mastodon - Kevin's book makes those comparisons deep. 2/
