      Great news! You can have that experience today on Google’s or Microsoft’s community & product forums. It’s the default response!

        They kind of were what the fediverse wants to be without the bonus featrues. There were thousands upon thousands of small decentralized communities with tightly knit communities. If a board simply sucked, you could go to another one. Of course they did not federate, you had to create different accounts for each of them and information was only passed on by users being in multiple ones. However, they had traction. Unlike with lemmy today, there were hundreds of active communities for every topic I ever wanted.

          A webring is as close as you could get to federating. No SSO, but you could use different sign-ins just like going from lemmy to kbin or so.

    Looking at you, Microsoft Windows support team. At least some random blog post from 10 years ago probably has the answer.

    Unless the only comment is “Solved it, nevermind.”, then you know you’re screwed.

        bruh give us an exact list of every program you have installed and hardware in your pc and log file from your last 20 used programs before we’ll even read your question. no we don’t know how any of that is relevant, but we can pretend to be smarter than you by asking for it

    No joke, that shit is why reddit caught on. 2000s flat-forum culture was a complete joke. Having replies show up beneath the relevant comment, in a nice collapsible tree, was a godsend. Having pointless bullshit sorted below interesting bullshit meant you didn’t need to scroll through a thousand posts just to be disappointed.
