what's your favorite weird, non-conventional, absurd, sketchy, or otherwise interesting group of folks you ended up involved with, and what makes it your favorite?
@djsundog The FidoNet community of the early 1990s. We had a fully community-funded global network over phone lines with world-wide and regional discussion groups. I ended up being one of the moderators of one of these global groups and it was exhilarating to exchange messages with people from around the world within 48-72 hours.
It was actually a very similar feeling to hanging out on Mastodon, but 35 years ago. 😊
I’m not sure “favorite” is quite the right word, but definitely the group I ended up involved with that had the most extreme combination of weird, non-conventional, absurd and sketchy would be the Gambino family in New York in the early 90s.
