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.

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 Lemmy! This is peron!

A comment.

SDF in 2004

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

hi im dosuser123456 but you can just call me dos, i aftuallky joined 4 months ago…

originally made this account juat for an event but over time its beciome basicallly my main social network along with irc lol

so uh im just a 14 year old nerd who has a random site, codes mainly in basic (but also batch i guess) and probably has no social life (im quite shy irl)

oh im also a musicisn and a composer (kinda, if beepbox and “uh this is the worst fasttracker2 module ever lol” count…) and i also draw stuff

anyways hiiii

im also known as DOS_User on irc (libera.chat) btw, if looking for other ways to contact me (mostly active on channels #puppylinux, #oldcomputerchallenge, #unix_surrealism and #lolz_this_channel)

Hi SDF! I write programming books, teach programming, and have fun hacking on stuff.

Hello. Just joined myself.

Hello SDF and thanks for hosting Lemmy and Mastodon instances👍

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 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. 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/
