The WELL was an early high end online service. You had to pay for it and I was in college at the time, I use the free Usenet instead — a lot. But I think of The WELL these days because of Bluesky, the Twitter clone.
Bluesky is good to great, but it seems — at least to me — to have a bit of WELL problem. It is so busy smelling its own farts that it can be something of a turn off to a member of the unwashed hoards like me.
But given how shitty Twitter has become these days, there’s not much choice, I guess. I also like Threads, but the quality of discussion is a tick better on The WELL, I mean Bluesky.
