Excellent memories! I used PC Globe so much when I was in elementary school. I didn't have an encyclopedia, and when some friend handed me that diskette it opened a new world to me. I ran that software so much that I memorized the world map, with capitals and population orders of magnitude.

My geography teacher was so impressed, they didn't know how a small kid could have memorized the world. I even knew some anthems by playing them on the PC Speaker. Over time we all got Encarta, then Wikipedia, but for a brief amount of time, a floppy disk contained the world for many of us.

Awesome!

Since the Digg migration, when was that, 2010?

Since Reddit's APIcalypse the content of that site has gone to the drain. It is very clear that power users are no longer posting quality content. I am much more amused by Lemmy than Reddit nowadays, though it's true that it has that new car smell and the communities will keep growing and reforming from the Reddit ashes.

I don't think Reddit will disappear, but it's not the same site it was two months ago, that's a fact.

As a user, I have 100% interest! I still use old.reddit and it's peak UI design. The feature I miss the most in Lemmy is "show images" to expand all thumbnails. Hopefully it can be deployed at SDF.

I agree with this interpretation too and it is an excellent simile.

If sdf defederates from big instances I will accept their decision but I will find another server.

I hope it doesn't. There is always time to defederate if something is going on.
