Gaming on 56k and directly above developed a real camaraderie as well. You were really out there suffering with your brethren in long arse lobby lines

Even early days of Facebook and Twitter were fun. I think if they banished the troll farms and bots it would be a huge leap back to sanity.

I don't have Twitter or Instagram.

I have LinkedIn unsearchable and all my name and my company names are all fictional. I figure if I need them to be real on the future (ie a job search) it's easier to change everything back than to rebuild my resume and network from scratch.

I'd dump Facebook but it's the only place where I can maintain contact with some people, and others I know IRL use it to announce events. My location isn't on there and I haven't done a status update since 2015.
