phario,

Wait this image I’ve seen before…when I was a kid? Where is it from?

Mongostein,

A book about the internet

TIEPilot,

Reddit just nuked all my accounts, nice to back to a more open community!

(first post)

Shardikprime,

Wait what, how

TIEPilot,

They only alternate theory I have is I use a VPN and that IP was flagged from another users abuse. But since there is no way to talk to the admins its all said and done. Also I bounce accounts (not to evade) as I have been doxxed on reddit more than once I keep my posting compartmentalized. They would all come back to that IP and would be seen as multiple ban evasions or an excuse to kick me. I’m pretty vocal on, well was vocal, about where the site was heading…

RIP Aaron

TIEPilot,

Shit sorry I have another thread going on this and I’m getting crossed up. More info:

drewisawesome14,

Who else was on here when this was first posted?

lohrun,

Feels like I’ve seen this post for weeks

queenturd,
goodnessme,

It does feel very fresh, indeed!

mudmaniac,

I just heard that international standards now stipulate that when referring to Internet and the WWW, that it is no longer a requirement to capitalize. its just internet and the web now, if anyone still even uses those words.

Thadrax,

But what about the interweb/Interweb? And why is the symbol a blue e with some lines through it if it starts with an i/I?

/s

Spooner,

Hang on, i’m still using the Information-Superhighway? What do we call that now?

KreekyBonez,

the old town information road

naticus,

The fuck? I thought it was all a series of pipes… Did I fall behind?

RickyMW,

I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I stop capitalizing the I in Internet.

Scheme, (edited )

One of my friends tonight told me I was cool for having Windows 95.

Hexadecimalkink,

Ngl this probably would make it easier to scroll websites without fixed widths, as well as diagrams.

Stan,

I use shift and the scroll wheel. That’s on Ubuntu though. Not sure about other OSes.

Hexadecimalkink,

Yeah me too but my mouse kinda sucks and jumps to hyperspeed on a small movement.

SeeMinusMinus,
@SeeMinusMinus@lemmy.world avatar

I would play minecraft with that

AaronMaria, (edited )

I wonder if this works under Microsoft ® Windows ®

Two eyes … Two scroll wheels

Makes sense to me

son_named_bort,

Wait, the internet is on computers?

Stan,

What is a computer?

Dragontre,

Hey kid, I’m a computer

Stop all the downloadin’

KreekyBonez,

help computer :(

TIEPilot,
debil,

Where’s the cursor? Where’s the eraser?

40hands, (edited )

I feel like I’m back playing Ultima Online. Corp Por?

Wow! It’ s like going back to the early internet, and I like it!

Very nice

luis123456,

👍🏻

TairikuOkami,

It started good, but then people realized that it is not reddit, so they moved back, failing to embrace the change.

I do not blame them, I miss the content and my 15k account, but I have removed it, so there is no going back for me.

Stan,

What is a 15k account?

superkret,

A regular account, after a post hit r/all by pure chance

superkret,

I love it. Less content = less addictive scrolling. Deleted reddit the moment lemmy finally let me make an account (on the 10th try or so).

plumbercraic,
@plumbercraic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Yeah it’s much less addictive for some reason. But the percentage of posts I am interested in is greater

Rodeo,

Also wayyyy fewer retarded meme comments. So nice to not be slapped with the same stupid jokes over and over.

Skull,
@Skull@lemmy.ca avatar

Tbh, just give it time.

Hopefully not though.

Mikekm,

Yep, I’m here for good too. Reddit will never get that magic back that it once had.

40hands,

Amen to that. Maybe 5 years here if we’re lucky and then on to blemmy.

Che_Donkey,
@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

There is more variety of content here IMO. I like seeing more international posts even if i dont aleays understand the language or the context.

Back there it was all ragey clickbait bot karma removed.

SpaceX724,

I feel like it’s not dominated by the same sort of content, but a lot of smaller communities and niche interests (at least the ones I’m interested in) have yet to develop on lemmy.

Che_Donkey,
@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve got a healthy sub list going, and am actually participating again instead of lurking. Ive got my default set to Alll-New so i come across some great things randomly. The other day some guy posted in ancient coins a greek coin that was about the size of your pinkey nail. Much more refreshing than some rehashed tweet by some asshole.

Clipper152,

Wait, really? I’m having trouble finding non-English stuff even after sorting by new and subbing to non-English coms…

Che_Donkey,
@Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml avatar

Yeah, really. Its pretty cool. There is a trend that it comes in batches though, like the Swiss sub with 5-6 posts, then the India, Indonesia etc…

BoxOfFeet,

This place is awesome. I like that I can recognize usernames in replies. It definitely feels closer than reddit.

The_Nostromo,

I dunno this feels pretty reddit to me

gimmemahlulz,

This site feels like reddit from ~2010. IE back before all the monetization and add bullshit.

The_Nostromo,

Yeah I’m digging it…

superkret,

I’m amazed it doesn’t feel like 4chan in 2005. Like, how is it possible that it’s not full of spam and racism? I hope it stays that way.

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Shhhh they’ll hear you.

Really though, defederation is the reason why.

superkret,

Can you explain why that makes a difference?

Obi,
@Obi@sopuli.xyz avatar

Instance owners can have full control over who they federate with. From the start, the mainstream in the Fediverse has had a tolerant, open-minded and positive mindset. Over time instances that don’t follow this (e.g. by promoting hate speech) are defederated, leaving mostly decent discourse. Users that try to join instances that follows the Fediverse ethics while not belonging, and try to spread hate, get banned.

We’re still in early days but this will keep happening until the verse is wide and large, and you can choose your own little corner that aligns with what you want, whether that’s more like what we have today, or the opposite end of the spectrum, but for now we get to enjoy to still have mostly only tolerant instances, and the nasty ones are defederated into oblivion.

superkret,

I have the urge to give you gold, but you know…

doctorplasmatron,
@doctorplasmatron@lemmy.ca avatar

kind of like when back in usenet days a usenet server could choose to not include certain newsgroups, such as someone not wanting to store all the data for alt.binaries.pron.hamsters on their server or whatnot?

Just shows how unimportant the company behind the interface is, they’re just letting users create all the community and content and use their IP to take all the money, but the platform itself is of little value these days, when some random dude can create the exact same thing from his attic in an afternoon.

BuckRowdy,
@BuckRowdy@lemmy.world avatar

I’m glad he did it because it helped push me out the door.

The_Nostromo,

What is this sorcery

Deuces,

That was a trip. As simple as the UI is it somehow never occurred to me it could be copied.

BuckRowdy,
@BuckRowdy@lemmy.world avatar

I used their original spritesheet when I redesigned the css for r/unresolvedmysteries.

hodlbtc,

This post has me excited for my new adventure with Lemmy. I’ve decided to make the transition from Reddit, tired of their new changes and other bullshit. Cheers to a new adventure.

This interview may have been the golden age of the internet - will we see something like this for Lemmy? Who knows.

Shardikprime,

Strider: BE THE HERO

Shardikprime,

I hate a moral coward, one who lacks a manly spark I just detest a man afraid to go home in the dark I always spend my evenings where there’s women wine and song But like a man, I always bring my little wife along!

I’m a member of the Midnight Crew I’m a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you’ll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew

The fun it doesn’t stop 'til twelve on happy old Broadway So what’s the use of going home, until the break of day? Now, something confidential, whisper not above a breath I once went home at two AM, and scared my wife to death

I’m a member of the Midnight Crew I’m a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you’ll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew

I never shall forget the night I made six robbers run Although I didn’t have a knife, a blackjack, or a gun I proved myself a hero of a very high degree I ran for home, and six of them, were running after me

I’m a member of the Midnight Crew I’m a night owl, and a wise bird too Home with the milk in the morning Singing the same old song! Rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun Early to bed, and you’ll miss all the fun Bring your wife and trouble, it will never trouble you Make her a member of the Midnight Crew
