If you want to emulate the 90's Internet experience, just get a 15" CRT and use it to IRC about Star Trek.
But... wait... that's essentially what were doing, right now. Fediverse really feels like the IRC of the 2020's, in a way.
Niche communities, mostly characterised by people who are well versed in tech and love Star Trek. You can make and manage your own part of the community, or even create a server yourself. Except on Fediverse, instances can communicate with each other and we can actually share media, unlike in 1994. Also we all have a constant connection on a device in our pockets.
