You might be an Internet Ancient if you:
• remember Netscape Navigator
• ever used any modem with a bandwidth of 28,8 or lower
• had an Early Adopter account on Livejournal
• witnessed the rise and fall of PhPBB
• witnessed the rise and fall of Napster
• used the web before Google existed
• ever used a dialup BBS site
• remember Gopher
• ever downloaded music as .mod files
• remember when about 90% of the web was made up of personal sites which were "under construction" and had pictures of people's cats on them
• remember when Yahoo was literally just a big list of websites
• know IRC commands
• have heard anyone unironically use the phrase "information superhighway"
• can recognise different bandwidth modems by what bleepy handshake sound they make
• have ever received one of those chain e-mails where you have to scroll through about a kilometre of forwarded headers only to find a "hilarious" vaguely lewd image and/or a banal list like this one

It's funny seeing people extol the virtues of decentralisation and stuff because like, that's what the internet used to be?
You've seen Hackers, right? The 1995 movie? At the time, most of the internet was dialup BBS sites. But then, the world wide web happened, and big centralised providers like CompuServe and AOL started taking control.
Discussing the perils of centralised internet services? Basically, y'all are talking about the original spirit of the internet, and I kinda love it.
