Glad you put that into writing on the blog. It was a nice thread on mastodon as well but this way I feel it even has more impact.

@tomate “Your friends from the internet.”

Bravo. Could have gone wrong, but didn’t because of you.

This is a very cool story and a reminder that loose networks of people can be positive and make an impact. Internet native since ‘94, and the number of people I’ve met I still catch up with ☺️ is about the same as my Primary, Secondary, Uni and work. Difference is like you said I can call on them if needed.

The below cartoon by Peter Steiner, New Yorker, July 5th, 1993 was often quoted. In your story it’s the punchline.
