We just made it past 1000 signups this morning. Nearly everyone joining had very thoughtful and meaningful explanations of why they want to try using this instance. It is an amazing time for the internet and we truly appreciate SDF being a part of this.

Hello SDF and thanks for hosting Lemmy and Mastodon instances👍

[–] saba@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Hi! I'm a developer (mainly backend, but studying system programming and happily tinkering after work). I'm considering closing my accounts on centralised social networks for good. I've tried mastodon and nostr, but the microblogging format is not something I particularly enjoy. I'm also setting up my capsule in the gemini space and trying out gopher as well. Happy to connect there as well if anybody is interested :) You'll find me commenting/reading on lobste.rs as well.

[–] Dracula_on_a_bike@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Hello. I'm someone who's previously/currently had accounts with 2 other nonprofit Unix shell account providers similar to SDF since approximately 1996/1997, and first found out about SDF maybe 10 years later while looking for other email-account-provider options. Then, last year, I saw SDF's Mastodon instance listed on joinmastodon.org, and decided to sign up for an account there... which eventually (thanks to the email announcement that was sent to users registered there) led me to this Lemmy instance.

I suppose the main reason why I decided to sign up here is out of hope that ActivityPub/Fediverse will become similar to, but better than, the various types of discussion forum systems (Usenet/NNTP, mailing lists, mailing list archivers like Pipermail & MHonArc, phpBB/vBulletin-style web forums) that were popular in the '90s and '00s. Personal blogging/microblogging systems (Mastodon, etc.) aren't an adequate replacement for newsgroups/forums, as far as I'm concerned; to paraphrase something I read elsewhere, too much of so-called social media is mostly about "look at me", as opposed to "look at this" (i.e. organized by topic).

(By the way: Lemmy currently seems to have some sort of incompatibility problem with QtWebEngine and/or the Falkon web browser. I initially tried to post this from Falkon, but the "Preview" and "Post" buttons were disabled even after typing some text, so I ended up posting this from Firefox instead.)

Hi @SDF, I'm peron, a SDF user from #Argentina.

I'm an individual interested in historical operating systems, synthesizers, anonymity-respecting communities and cooperative electronic communication environments.

I certainly enjoy login into public machines, and meeting new friendly people. SDF provides a nice suite of free-access federated services, including its Mastodon instances, PixelFed and now Lemmy. Greetings to all my friends and kind people on the Telematic Fortress.

If anyone is interested in knowing a bit more about me, you can check this pseudoanonymous bio webpage. http://peron.sdf.org/whoami/

Hey, everyone! I'm Doug Anger / daanger. I've been on SDF for awhile. I'll likely be a bit quiet here for awhile as I'm working on a master's thesis, but I'm excited to get better acquainted with more of the community.

Hello. Just joined myself.

[–] grey@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

I'm grey. I've use the SDF European server since 2013 and found it pretty useful. I'm American, I don't know why I used the EU server back then. 2013 was a long time ago, lol. I don't really have any reason to switch to the American one.

[–] xiled@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Hi sdfpubnix lemmy community peoples!

Just wanted to say hi...I finally created an account here to check it out. Another way for me to be differently social with people I like! Many familiar sdf operators here. Hope to see more of you around on the system, in the COM[MODE}, in the gopher underground, on smolnet, and the fedifferentlysocialverse!

Hello SDF! Thanks for hosting Lemmy and mastodon. I like the Minecraft server too. I'm just a geek that likes open-source and have no idea what I'm doing half the time.

I had to scroll through this thread because I thought I commented already but it looks like I didn't.

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well the recent SDF Lemmy email requested an introduction and comment about what we think re: the reddit to Lemmy exodus.

I'm hobbsc (aka cmhobbs, notcmhobbs, nilmethod, rev. dok. granggggg, etc). Been an SDF user for a minimum of 20 years. Love the place. More info plus fedi links etc: hobbsc.sdf-us.org

My thoughts on the reddit exodus? I'm indifferent. I'm just a passive consumer of reddit content. I don't currently have an account. I just hope that the communities that leave go somewhere public and searchable instead of places like discord where the info will be locked away. Much like the stack exchange sites, reddit holds a wealth of useful information.

Glad to see SDF running more federated services, too. It fits well with the general theme of the fortress.

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

dok??? i think i know that name...

or is the dok on irc a different one?

I just realized that you picked up on part of a name. "Rev. Dok. Granggggg" is just an abbreviation for "Reverend Doktor Granggggg", not three separate handles.

I am " hobbsc" on the SDF IRC server.

[–] dosuser123456@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

then i mistookyou for the dok on libera.chat

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 7 months ago

i'm cmhobbs over there :D

Hello all! I became an SDF member a couple of years ago, at the time I believe I was disillusioned with social media, probably was also in a paranoid pandemic mindset. I am very excited about Lemmy and the traction it is getting, it's a fun platform so far. I had tried Mastadon back when, but it just didn't have any hooks for me, I was never a Twitter person anyways.

I had only heard about SDF from reading comments in Hacker News. But it's really right up my alley. My first experiences on the internet was interacting through a local freenet dialup shell in the early 90's and spending way too much time on MUDs, and downloading porn on usenet for view on my fancy VGA monitor.

Back in my day you had to work for your porn and imagine your video game graphics, and that's the way it should be. :old man finger waggle:
