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:
