Since we started this community on the SDF Lemmy, I thought people might appreciate this view into the history of SDF!

That was really cool. I had no idea what this place was when joining lemmy via sdf, and I'm liking it more the more I learn.

One thing though. He kept saying how he hated PC and I'm not sure I get it. Is that like he hates the x86 architecture? Or windows?

I'm sad that it took Elon's meltdown for me to finally discover sdf. It could have been so useful to me for many years now, but I just didn't know. I got so lucky that I just randomly chose their Mastodon instance.
