a pub, huh?

~impulse

Hello everyone! Name's Impulse!

I have not come from the old internet, but I do love old-school stuff! This led me to find Geminispace, which at first I was skeptical about until I realized how much better it was than the regular World Wide Web, at least in terms of being more user-focused, easier to work with, and the absence of companies finding ways to monetize everything. I kinda wish I had seen the old internet because of it, sounds like it would have been a lot more fun!

I plan on eventually hosting a blog on Gemini, but in the meantime, I'll sit and chat here in this calm-seeming pub. See you around!

hey Impulse. Welcome.

I grew up during the old internet era. Fun times.

Life was simple.

People didn't curate their lives and fight on the internet.

Sometimes, I wish we could go back to the pre-Internet days.
