I started on mailing lists in the mid 1990s. I forget the name of the platform I started on* but it got taken over by eGroups and then Yahoo, and started to suck a bit after that. Basicaly, you’d go to the website to find groups to subscribe to, and all the content would come to you by email. You reply by email, and your reply went to everyone subscribed to that particular group. It was crude but efficient, and I really miss some of those communities.
