I was on Prodigy and Usenet back then. Thanks for running Prodigy! I liked it, but I also quit once they put a cap on emails. I also remember how Internet dialogue went from tolerable self-moderating to a complete all-caps troll mess after AOL users got access to the "real Internet" and not their own little unmoderated chatrooms. If Substack won't let you monetize porn, why should they profit off of Nazi recruitment? They've already set a precedent of rules on speech. So that Rubicon has been crossed.

All my online preferred writers are older than me or hovering around middle age. What does this say about me?
