Is there a way to see when you joined a community? I'm not sure how long I've been here.

I've definitely become less optimistic as time has passed. As a Gen-Xer. the future we were promised never got here. Further, if (when) the singularity does finally occur, it will likely be used exclusively by the oligarchs towards twisted ends.

Fellow Gen Xer. It's not that the future never came, it just had unseen consequences.

I remember thinking you'd be able to shop online eventually and meet people, which you can, but I never imagined that advertising would become so prolific to the point where it is the main thing driving web development.
