Seriously. It's like the back office SS workers "just doing paperwork" on the people they slaughter. Congrats, you're just as bad as those pulling the trigger.
I run a "modern" BBS, Xibalba. Something I find is actually quite a few "callers" visiting the board are new blood. Younger generation that never lived through or touched a BBS but usually fall into one of two camps: 1 - "I'm tired of the modern corporate Internet", 2 - I just want to learn about history.
People still login to play games (I'm writing a new one!), and chat. Downloads here and there when you have hard to find history items, etc. Certainly nothing like it's heyday, but enough to keep me happy anyway :D
I've now worked with 3 teams that have moved from Python (2/3) and C++ (1/3) to (async) Rust. All successfully, all with less bugs, moving faster, etc.
