One of my first online fandoms was on forums and yahoogroups in 2000 and that was also the year I learned what doxxing was. One of my friends was nearly pushed out of a job because a jealous person from fandom doxxed them.
There have *always* been dickbiscuits around but they didn't get amplified.

"Fandoms used to be full of nice ppl before covid and then all the bullies and popular kids joined" is literally an "the earth is flat" tier false belief to me

For a while in the early 2000's, there was an honest-to-god Yahoogroups Anime and Manga Research Circle Mailing List. Me and 3 other guys were at the heart - two did their PhDs and then went into professional careers, I only got a master's; only one, Brent Allison, is now tenured faculty.

The sooner someone brings back YahooGroups that are based around e-mail mailing lists, the better.
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

This place feels more like twitter in some of the fan feeds.
Star Wars, I'm looking at you.
It's like the prequels just came out and ICQ and YahooGroups are all abuzz with haters attacking fans, actors and the movies.
Give it up already, you hated them, we get it. It's been over 20 years losers.

I did theatre (and film, with less...ability) in high school but was never studious about it; I coasted through well enough just vibing. My primary form of RP has always been text-based, originally on YahooGroups and LJ etc; my personal forte lends more to character study as a result.

Lol, the only thing I ever used basefook for was to keep up a communication channel that died when YahooGroups shut down 😅

Invite-only yahoogroups, 25 years ago. No riff-raff.
Can I ask y’all a genuine question?
In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?

Yeah, people 'that's the joke'-ing the joke* isn't a new Bluesky thing.
* We called it 'Aspelling' back in the Yahoogroups days. In honour of the master of joke-reiteration.

By chance, does anyone here remember from back in the late 90-00’s a yahoogroups email group for Pagans that was ran by a Mel Taliesen? #Witchsky

En 2005, on a balancé ces infos sur ma liste de diffusion yahoogroups et la rédac'cheffe nous a menacés, on a préféré retirer l'article sur le conseil de notre avocat mais le texte avait été largement rediffusé et apprécié, y compris parmi ses confrères...

It's not surprising, I guess, that I found play by email role-playing games and immediately took to them (on Onelist, before it was eGroups, before it was YahooGroups).

Why bother is only part of it. I'm old and remember listservs and yahoogroups and lj and I'm too angry to let them drive us out of yet another place by coming in to ruin it.

I cut my teeth on Role Play Yahoogroups, then on Live Journal, and have fic on AO3. I'm used to people commenting as a write, so it's been a change! My fingers are firmly crossed, for myself and others! And you! May we all get a deal!!
