I’m wondering if lemmy.ml is the first or the oldest alive instance (it’s a server!!!) or if it’s just one of the fastest growing instance ahead. 🙌⬆️ the precambrian lemmies!—only maybe know before I step on this world.

Since lemmy.ml is the instance run by the devs I guess it is actually the oldest one (dating back to the 20th of April in 2019).
Crazy that Lemmy has been around since 2019! That’s before covid!
Ah yes, the true B.C.
Truly does feel like a different time!
Seriously, it’s insane. Even more so than post 9/11 feeling.
I’d say that COVID is also more universal. 9/11 is only that important for people in the US.
Genuine question, was airport security not tightened up worldwide after 9/11? I remember as a kid I would go through security quickly and be able to have someone at the gate waiting for me. That was never a thing after 9/11. Did the rest of the world not also have these changes? I guess for me I’m an extreme case because I live in NYC. I have no clue how it affected people across the country even, let alone in other countries. In my defense I was only 7 at the time.
Yes, the rest of the world got the extra security restrictions in order to fly. I’m in Europe and we generally have better, faster rail networks than the US (and everything is closer together) so we don’t fly as much as Americans.
I used to work in the US about 10 years ago, and the contrast between that and when I visited in the 1990s to go to Graceland is pretty stark. It takes forever now to get through those TSA queues and immigration. You could also smoke on the transatlantic flight in the 90s!
That’s BCE, or Before Covid Era!
I guess I joined just after the outbreak began
Few years ago I had Feddit.social as one of the first tihi! I closed at the time because of the trouble with the build-in filters that now have been removed and optional
