In the 1977 through 1992 they had Dialup BBS when home computers first came out. Chicago's CBBS was the very first Dialup BBS using Wildcat server.
Some Dialups were ran on ISDN and Cat 3 copper lines
Then came Telnet sites and IRC

Then came Compuserve and AOL
Online sites with their own servers with multi nodes and early internet gateways


Then the Internet started when people got DSL, and Cable Internet and people started using Web based UBB forum Boards (Very similar to this host)

Then came Yahoo web chat. mostly audio but those who could afford webcams with a wopping 3fps could have visual talks in the late 1990s

then came Myspace and Facebook.

Then came sites like stickam and justice tv and tinychat where rooms turned into weekend online bars where people didn't have to leave home to get drunk with friends online

those sites turned into Kick and other Home TV shit

meanwhile nazi faggots and internet terrorist had to go underground with almost IRC like old tech on sites like telegram and discord. you had to regress technology to stay anonymous.

how does it feel to live in the future! are you content?
