I remember in the early days people saying that Lemmy wasn't succeeding. Very frustrating to hear because it was like the very early days. And look at it now!

I've had to measure parcels in "chains and rods" when updating archaic plat books! That's when I decided GIS may not be for me.
Still got the degree bc I was too far into the degree and couldn't afford extra tuition.

Itβs small enough I recognize users all the time, which is kind of nutty, and Iβm not even a heavy user I think.
You're such a light user that when I try to look at your post history, my client says you don't exist!
Thatβs by design! I rotate alt accounts every now and then to keep my footprint light. :-)
I like that
Me too. On Voyager you can add personal tags for people. It also displays how often you're upvoting or downvoting each user account. Very helpful for keeping track of who's who!
Now I'm imagining someone has me tagged as "data slut" from a thread last week about our jobs
Personally I rarely read usernames on lemmy and reddit
Most of the time, I recognize people fondly, too!
