  • Excellent memories! I used PC Globe so much when I was in elementary school. I didn’t have an encyclopedia, and when some friend handed me that diskette it opened a new world to me. I ran that software so much that I memorized the world map, with capitals and population orders of magnitude.

    My geography teacher was so impressed, they didn’t know how a small kid could have memorized the world. I even knew some anthems by playing them on the PC Speaker. Over time we all got Encarta, then Wikipedia, but for a brief amount of time, a floppy disk contained the world for many of us.











  • Since the Digg migration, when was that, 2010?

    Since Reddit’s APIcalypse the content of that site has gone to the drain. It is very clear that power users are no longer posting quality content. I am much more amused by Lemmy than Reddit nowadays, though it’s true that it has that new car smell and the communities will keep growing and reforming from the Reddit ashes.

    I don’t think Reddit will disappear, but it’s not the same site it was two months ago, that’s a fact.










  • I agree that it can be problematic to see some weird stuff on All, but defederating is a red button that affects everybody in the instance, and I don’t like that. I enjoy seeing new stuff, and people can use the “block” button liberally.

    However it is true that Lemmy still lacks some fine grained controls for users. I am positive that they will be implemented soon, so meanwhile we are living in this very early transition period where random shit can and will appear on our All page and we need to live with it (or use block a lot)








  • cfenollosa on SDF. Introduced to anime in the early 90s via Dragon Ball, Dr. Slump and Captain Tsubasa, my most loved mangas. In the late 90s Evangelion changed something in my brain forever.

    Nowadays I don’t follow the new releases, but I’m always curious to read any manga that falls in my hands. As I grow older I feel like I don’t have time for animes though, the pacing on screen is usually very slow for my taste. But I constantly rewatch old gems such as Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Future Boy Conan and the likes.

    Happy to join a community to talk about oldschool japanese animation!
