Welcome to SDF Chatter, a Federated Lemmy instance - lemmy.sdf.org!
Over the past 2 weeks we've been doing our best to keep up with the Reddit migration. We just made it past 1000 signups and wanted to provide you with a status update for the instance.
Many of you left very thoughtful and meaningful explanations of why you were joining us and what you hope for. It is truly an amazing time for the internet, especially for a non-commercial organization as old as SDF to be included in this. We just celebrated our 36th cake day on Friday!
If you would like, could you introduce yourself and share your thoughts in regards to the Reddit migration and the Fediverse in the !sdfpubnix ?
Well, Reddit is part of the corporate extranet being presented to the Public as though it is the Internet. But more than ever before, the small handful of data silos lording it over their hordes of private information are taking it for granted that their control and dominion over the Public is untouchable and unquestionable.
Meanwhile, the mass migration of people from the small handful of anti-trust law violating dystopian megacorps is greater than ever before. I'm a bit spicy in other places, but considering the host, I'll keep it worksafe and be on my best behavior. I have places for more spicy stuff, this is mostly for ham radio and vintage computing.

So how have you guys been? I've been dealing with losing two of my dogs in a row. I'll be okay, though.
Oh, man, that sucks. I'm so sorry.
That sucks :(
We have a mum cat and her three babies. She's 15 now and the babies will be 15 in December. I have a feeling we may lose them close together. On the bright side, we have two more to keep us going :)
Losing a pet is always difficult and takes a certain amount of time to recover from. Many of us here are certainly apathetic to your situation. Sorry for your loss!
lemmy.sdf.org seems to have been exploding lately, and I tend to believe that this influx might increase in greater numbers after the end of this month when the Reddit API changes take effect (and those who were not aware of that changing landscape) realize that their third party app is no longer viable.
This instance has attracted a lot of decent and like-minded followers. I look forward to that trend continuing.
