Well… I was born after that. Even the internet I used had, well, this meme for example. ASCII art was common even when Twitch released in… 2010? The internet I used growing up in the late 2010s was still so inherited from whatever was stable enough to last through the 2000 dotcom bubble or release just after.
I really miss how tacky and cute the internet was. Everything is so pretty and cool now but like… Not in a good way, its just bland.
In 1993 it might have been on a BBS and not the internet at all. :)

All BBSes were on the internet.
No. Most were direct dial servers. Some used FIDOnet for inter-BBS messaging.
Source: I hosted one until 1997.
This is the most incorrect statement i’ve seen on the internet in a good while
I mean…
It’s technically incorrect…
But not in, like, a metaphysical sense.
The point of the internet was to be global, which BBSs were not.
That’s not true, you had to dial their phone number directly back in the day
you can still do that you’re allowed
But I’m not a web designer or website host 😔
that’s why geocities came back :3
It came back?!
