Oddbean new post about login | logout is there some n for which banning all computer networks larger than n nodes would have prevented, you know, [gestures around at all of this] while still allowing for jorts memes?
@6ee66bbf memes were really common even way back in the email days. so probably even a pretty small n would accomplish your goal. we weren't really part of the BBS scene though we lived through it, but our impression was that they weren't as big back then. less ability to forward stuff.
