I'm sitting here reading various conversations around the echos, some of which I've participated in, some that I haven't.
There is a range of topics involved, and I'm not going tp get into specifics here. Most of them, if you get to the heart of it pretty much break down to people trying something different. And other people not liking it.
That's perfectly fine. Not everyone is going to like the same things that everyone else likes. We're human beings. We all have our own opinions and our own preferences. We aren't cardboard cut outs of each other.
But what I'm not understanding is people's resistance to something new here.
The Fidonet community, and the wider BBS world, has always been to me a group of people who celebrated new things.
New software, new hardware, new technology, new program languages, someone somewhere would try it, and see if it could be adapted for our community. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But ordinarily people gave it a chance to see how it worked out, offering suggestions they thought might make it better.
Now it seems that people are more stuck in the idea that new is a bad thing. You try something new, or even express an idea of something new, people's reaction is "why?"
It's like people think something new will somehow invalidate almost 40 years of BBS history. Instead, I would hope that they could see that it's a celebration of that history, and showing that it is still relevant in the modern world, and very much still has something to offer.
