If Lemmy was a physical place, what would it look like?
If Lemmy was a physical place, what would it look like?
What about the rest of the Fediverse or other parts of the internet?
Some random building used for parties that one person pays for regularly so everyone else can stand in social circles and talk about random topics because they have nothing better to do.
It would look like a warehouse full of shelves that are very well organized but there's no map, and a lot of the shelves have the exact same designation but completely different contents.
Library of babel?
A small, abandoned office building.
The ground floor would be full of TVs playing news networks and people arguing about politics.
The top floor would be cubicles for the coomers
The basement would be full of servers and bearded people with Thinkpads running Linux
So basically exactly the same as my basement
Picture a pig pen, but really dirty
Ever walk into your college campus center at 11:45pm on a Saturday and discover the 25 unwashed dudes that are in there playing Smash Bros in a massive LAN party while drinking a mix of Mt. Dew and beer?
It would look like that.
But they are all disagreeing, scoffing at each other with "akshully" statements about things they don't understand.
From my point of view, this place seems very niche, techy, and "inside joke"-ish... So ima say a Cyber/tech coffee shop with a buncha (kind/seemingly friendly) Nerds all huddled up at tables together. Theres a separate cafe room just for- whatever the fuck Linux users do. And 75% of the men there are femboys in thigh highs. Everyone speaks in a way that, unless your a regular customer of the cafe it's gonna be complete fucking gibberish.
easy
The house from Fight Club.
Half the users are imaginary.
It is one of this places that were built by anarchists without any license and look, smell and feel quite funky. The audience though is really nerdy. So the closest that comes to mind is a Hacker space in a large European city.
Sounds like we might meet at the congress in december. :)
Like some college campus in the US, probably. Or Portland.
Picture if you will a conputer genius, an expert in his field able to write like Shakespeare in basic. This person lives in 1985 and so what would be less than a raspberry pi today is now a large room filled to bursting. Lemmy is that room
A library full of cool people not stiffs lol
A city university in Bogota during a paro.

Kensington Market in Toronto.
Multiple small mom & pop stores in a slightly grungy setting.
A flophouse exclusively inhabited by giant nerds.
The megacity from Judge Dredd.
Something like this?
