For my first post on Lemmy, I present the last post I made on Reddit 11 years ago. Thank you to everyone that has made the fediverse happen.

It's funny when this kind of thing happens. I built an app that was basically tindr for a project in college, several years before tindr started. Guess I should have release it
- Wow! Something similar for me: in 2007 I built a website that had the same functionality as Hungry House. Basically a place where take-away restaurants could put their menus up and take orders. It didn't take off and it only cost me a couple of month's of work. Then Hungry House, Uber Eats etc came along a decade later and nailed it.
And no upvotes, because it's obviously a stupid, unworkable idea.
What are your new predictions, oh time wizard?
There is fortunately enough content across the fediverse currently to keep me away from Reddit and I hope it stays like this
Got any stock picks?
- +1 Or perhaps lottery numbers? I’m not picky
- Please let me know as well
Chef's kiss also that aged wine be mighty fine!
Dude, if I'd seen your comment 11 years ago, I would've thought that would be nonsense...
You were kind of a visionary.
(kind of, because decentralized social networks existed since then, but still).
- Yeah I just did a search and looks like OStatus predates my comment. Plus it was more wishful thinking than an attempt to predict the future.
...And only your own upvote. Reddit, you disappoint me more often than not. Welcome aboard!
Can we add to this free broadband wifi in all populated parts of the world?
I suspect with about a billion dollars (and but for the local state-enforced stakeholder protections in some areas) we could actually do this.
- In that vain I would advocate for meshnets over ISPs.
Could you give me 6 random numbers that are between 1-49 please?
- 9,41,8,7,24,33.
