I am enamored with the idea of SDF, and I think it is an important part of computing history and the present. That being said, I am curious as to whether anyone actually finds it useful—aside from the fact that it hosts the instance!!

SDF was the first legitimately obtained shell I had that wasn’t tied to my ISP.
I appreciate the retro computing functionality a lot (comm, bboard, etc), it’s just fun to dive back into TUI land for a bit.
I have my own boxes for small scale stuff, but for stuff like Lemmy or Mastodon I prefer something with a community base.
I point newbs that want to learn more advanced computer stuff at SDF as a resource as well.
Mostly I just like what SDF does and what they “stand for”.
