The threadiverse is small (compared to other major platforms) and I often see usernames that I recognize. How well do we notice each other around here?

I’ll start… my name’s “MrShankles” and I do be commenting/posting from time to time

    Thanks, you’re right — looks like it’s @pmjv@lemmy.world now. That’s amazing. If there’s one server I’d have thought that stays up no matter what, it’s an sdf.org one. When I saw their domain, I recognized it as one of the few that was still running a gopherspace node (gopher://sdf.org), alongside gopher://gopher.floodgap.com

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SDF_Public_Access_Unix_System

    Super Dimension Fortress (abbreviated as SDF, also known as freeshell.org) is a non-profit public access UNIX shell provider on the Internet. It has been in continual operation since 1987 as a non-profit social club.

    SDF provides free Unix shell access and web hosting to its users. In addition, SDF provides increasingly rare services such as dial-up internet access, and Gopher hosting. SDF is one of very few organizations in the world still actively promoting the gopher protocol,[9][10] an alternate protocol that existed at the introduction of the modern World Wide Web.[11]
