This was a neat read, thanks for sharing!

Interesting story, thanks for sharing!

I see more engagement across my Lemmy feeds every week. It's definitely smaller and slower here but there are real relationships and communities forming. I think the fediverse is strongly positioned to outlive and maybe even outgrow closed social ecosystems. If you're frustrated with a lack of a certain kind of content on Lemmy make it your responsibility to go create or share some of that content.

Geocities, Myspace, Digg, Reddit all started somewhere. I think any good underlying framework (federated social networks) that enables strong communities will always stand a chance. I really do get early reddit vibes on here.

Been waiting for this

this is the kind of comment I hope for when I come here

yeah this some fake justice porn shit

I had the opportunity once to see Curiosity modeled in a VR environment as if you were standing on Mars next to it and I remember how very surprised I was at how big it was.

As a fun side note now that you've jogged my memory. That same demo also had a model of the Rosetta spacecraft orbiting Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. For whatever reason it was sized so that the ~~asteroid~~ comet was about the size of a cat and I will never forgot watching that itty bitty little satellite orbit around that odd shaped ~~asteroid~~ comet in front of me.
