CW: Stoned husky thoughts. A thing that I miss from early internet. (Thinking about past experiences, changes in available technologies)
I realize that this is gonna sound pretty "Back in my day", cause it is. Figured I'd be up front about it. But it's kind of like a surprising maybe good way?
I was in a discord chat, An active person said they were signing off. I figured the people who replied were either part of the preceding converstaion, or knew the person from previous interactions. I said nini like a friendly person. But then I realized that I missed the little message that let me knew someone was done with the space for the day.
It was a nice little tag for me to help me keep track of what shared things i could interact with other people about. And it was like a friend came over to visit when a name I remembered "signed back in"
