Hello, SDF.

printf("Hello, @SDF!\n");

Another Reddit leaver here. I figured I'd go back after the original two-day blackout, but I've pretty much abandoned it; I haven't seen that many tone-deaf responses in a row since I tried out for "Name That Tune".

I had been vaguely aware of the SDF project before this, so I figured "okay, this is an instance that's probably likely to survive, and perhaps a little less politically loaded than some other choices."

My first Unix-flavoured setup was throwing Minix 2.0 on a 16MHz 286 clone in like 1998. Still have a bit of affinity for the vintage kit, but I traded away too many of the interesting Unix boxes I had back in the days when the local university would sell them as scrap for pennies, (HP 712/60, Sun Ultra 10), so now I have to just run FVWM with too many CDE-inspired visual features for the same effect.

I tend to find the Fediverse concept interesting because it decouples presentation from content. Right now, we're obviously still very much following the prototype Digg and Reddit gave us, but maybe there's an entirely new universe of ways to consume cat pictures we're on the cusp of discovering.

Hello World!!! I am... ;)

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 world! Game master and general nerd here. I'm into tech and learning new things.

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.

Hi all, I am an OpenBSD ports maintainer, and hopefully at some point kernel hacker

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.

Not much to introduce, I'm new, Hi.

I just wanted to say, you folks are all lovely. The sense of community you get in the posts and comments, the genuine care and respect for other people in the conversation.

I'm happy to be here, hopefully the vibe weathers the user storm.

Hello. Just joined myself.

Greetings to higher primates.

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.

Hello!

Hi! I just joined up. I have an sdf.org account from forever ago, and when I saw that sdf had a Lemmy instance I knew that was the one to join.

Reddit is too stressful right now. I don't know if my favorite client will remain functioning or if my subreddits will exist next week. Too much change and I don't understand the point of it.
