A thought prompted by seeing instances growing and struggling to have enough resources. Then and now, people in groups trying to communicate something. Hardware became incredibly faster over decades, storage became incredibly more huge, and software bloat kept pace?
What I liked about Reddit was that it offered the kind of threaded conversations that Usenet used to.
What I still like about Mastodon is that federation lets you find the community that is right for you, the way Usenet used to.
If Lemmy can offer both then as far as I’m concerned it will be the best resurrection of Usenet that I could hope for.
Now we just need IRC to go with it.
