     @amerika @pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner 100.
     
     I mean you had to learn something new to get things working back then, maybe buy a book and work through it.
     
     Added benefit of of learning how something worked.
     
     I hate all this hand holding shit that goes on now, it's dumbing people down.

     The biggest barrier is that USENET required some work to start using.
     
     When people can download an app and start ranting, you get the left side of the bell curve predominating.

     @ins0mniak @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner Everyone has a book out and they're all shit.
     I wish it were more difficult to write a book so you couldn't just shit one out on demand like everyone with a podcast or YouTube channel has.
     Only media with a high enough barrier to entry will maintain a tolerable signal to noise ratio. Even fedi is too easy to use and this suffers and extremely low bandwidth due to this effect. You can't stop the signal but you can choke it down to a mere trickle.

     @pwm @D00B @MrFuzzland @bot @kroner Agreed.
     
     Low barrier of entry equals lower quality of content.
     
     USENET a great early example.
     
     Now any clown with a $30 7/11 tracphone can shit up a website.

     New experiences broaden the mind. Running another app... well, it makes the already dense and oblivious even more so.
     
     This was my hope for the Fediverse, that it would concentrate the intelligent among both nerd and mainstream audiences.
     
     Instead we got the walled garden and the anarchy zone.
