The old efnet #unix sex chart debunks some of these claims.

I know I learned more from having ops in #unixhelp than stack overflow.

But the 90s were different, and it really depended on the channels.

I remember going into #nanog to finally get uunet to pull bgp routes once.

Sure there were bad parts, but at least you still had agency unlike with modern social media.
