Reminder that normies ruined the internet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September …
tbh I barely used it before. I used local BBSs in the early 90s then I got a local dialup internet service that provided a unix prompt, and from that I could use things like Gopher and Usenet. Usenet was mostly fine through the mid 90s, but AOL caused an uptick in dumbs

Usenet was/is a distributed message board system that was where most public conversations would go on back then. AOL was a service that provided dialup service to its own systems and later to the internet, and it was famous for sending out millions of CDs

Young people typically got access to the internet through colleges until the later 90s when lots of people started to use internet providers like AOL. Old people got AOL for email and news but didn't do that much else with the internet until Facebook
