Everyone made and used BBS's back in the beginning. It was relatively easy. BBS's somehow morphed into Twitter, etc. and became worth billions. That valuation makes no sense.

everything is correct in your assessments, but this is not bbs, this is irc (chat), this is what was before telegrams, discords, and so on

I miss the heyday of BBSs and IRC. That’s when the internet was fun, and tinkering brought new discoveries every day. Now it’s mostly just annoying.
