We’ve been here before. Some of us old fucks have gone from BBS to IRC to sites like SA, GenMay, Digg, Reddit. It’s jus the nature of the beast.

Gonna miss the solid App support Reddit had but it’s only a matter of time before there are many great options for Lenny. Wefwef while browser based is actually really nice!

For me it was BBSs, Slashdot, Kuro5hin, Fark, Bannination, Hacker News, Reddit. And now the 'verse.

Good luck to all the Lemmy and Mastodon app coders, and to all the people hacking away at great front ends to the same.

There's definitely going to be growing pains, attacks, victories and losses. But I think it'll be worth it.

Since the fediverse is protocol and standards based it has potential. Email is ubiquitous.

You forgot Slashdot.

Lest we forget the poorly-Photoshopped "Borg Gates"
