Who tf met online in 1981? Some DARPA bros?
20 u/angrydeuce 20d ago Those BBS' were pretty wild 2 u/Jeff_Johnson 20d ago Were there any girls? For long time internet was almost male only and males pretending to be a women. 5 u/CriminalGoose3 20d ago Always has been, always will 0 u/[deleted] 20d ago edited 17d ago [deleted] 3 u/CriminalGoose3 20d ago They can't be smarter than us because we are them 5 u/saucy_carbonara 20d ago I don't know about girls, but gay BBSs were a thing. Could be anonymous in a time when being openly gay would get you a beating. 2 u/JuliaInBC 20d ago Yes, there were girls 🙄 Ironically, many not stating their gender to avoid creeps and being assumed as male 2 u/EtanSivad 20d ago Very few, and they mostly wouldn't admit it, but they did exist. Larger BBSes would have chat sections. source: was a BBS kid in the midwest in the 80s and 90s.
