I’m Gen Z and never got to experience the old internet, but I have seen old posts on stuff like Google Groups and mail lists. The fediverse has a similar vibe, and I like it
Hello! I’m Alex a.k.a. Ultra. I use NixOS (btw) and am a Reddit refugee.
I’m Gen Z, btw.
Even if I don’t mention this in the replies, thanks for taking the time to reply to my help posts, even if your solution isn’t quite right.

I’m in a similar situation - I used to semi-lurk reddit, making maybe 2 comments per week and a post a month. The thing is, I really had to think about what I posted there, because with one opinion that the hivemind disagrees with I could lose most of my karma. Also, it would take a long time to get replies to posts that weren’t memes, if I even got any.
Bit here? No karma system, and way more active community. I made a post yesterday, before I went to sleep, and when I woke up it had around 5 comments. That post was in a niche community
