I am exactly 38 years old and this is exactly correct. They killed AIM. They killed MSN Messenger. ICQ is a twitching corpse. IRC is a zombie. Geocities, Yahoo!, all my vBulletin and phpBB forums — gone. Twitter’s death is just one more.
This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.
They've outlived dozens of ships.

You can tell who did and who did not moderate IRC/phpBB/whatever back in the day, because all of us who did learned the true shape of online group culture:
your culture is the shittiest person you don't ban
your culture is the shittiest person you don't ban
yeah, it is entirely possible to have a Normal Functional Discord!
