I think the fediverse is having a naming issue too. Most people don’t realize Lemmy is basically just the forum days of old, but you can share your account everywhere. (yes the code is more complicated but the users don’t need to know that)
Not even that. I’m getting serious Usenet vibes (from the early 90s, not the thing it has since devolved into). Even the decentralized paradigm with independent servers syncing with each other is conceptually similar (although I’d bet NNTP was a quite different protocol than what we’re using now).
Where’s the slaves?
I always feel awkward saying hash cause the weed stuff
Lol, I deal with orphaned children at my job
Firefox is wrong. That’s red panda, not a fox.
One of the Chinese word for red panda is literally Firefox, 火狐, that’s where the web browsers name comes from.
Cool However dont make a red panda a Firefox please.
TIL
