Once upon a time there was a pretty cool nightclub. It was quite a swanky place. It had its regulars, drop ins and lurkers. It was open to everyone 24 hours 7 days a week. But one day the owners decided that the management wasn't that important so management organised a mutiny. They closed the main dance floor and kept the VIP area open but still that wasn't enough. So they closed the place baracading themselves in. Some patrons were confused as to why they weren't allowed access anymore. Where's everybody gone? Where do I go now?

Then some bright spark said "I know a place. Follow me". Now this new place wasn't as flash as the last (I think it was an old factory in the back streets of the industrial area in Footscray) but it was free and it was safe. At first a few trickled in to have a look around. Then word got around and more and more turned up. The old lurkers turned up to cause a stir but generally everyone's been happy to have a regular place to meet again.

P.s.There's always that dodgy looking guy in the corner with a leather jacket on chewing his gum and selling shit.

Firstly, I don't have a leather jacket yet still feel somewhat triggered hahah

Secondly - this reminds me so much of an actual club called Club UK which was on... I want to say Russel St? I can't quite remember what happened to bring it down, but it was the best. Then it wasn't there anymore and it fucking hurt. But this time around the dodgy factory that we shacked up in existed compared with well, an empty void.

And thirdly - I freaking love this as the narrative for this place. Well written!

I get you. I'm just glad we found a new home for now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Me too. And I'm thankful for the people who made it possible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Haha. Back in my day there was a lot of shaking hands with people you only knew by first name.

Oh poor automod! Do you think it misses us? Is it lonely?

Hello DT, happy housewarming for the new residence. This platform is going to take me a bit of getting used to. But nice to see so many familiar names. Thankyou very much to @[email protected] and anyone else who did the work to make this happen. I appreciate your tech skills and initiative!

Edit: I have no idea how to tag people properly, hope that was it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes the tag worked! @[email protected] is the one who set this place up, I just followed them here and made myself at home when I saw @dumblederp@[email protected] had made a daily thread here!

Plan to use this shutdown as a prompt to spend more time off my computer: failed

Glad to see there's already a Melbourne sub going strong on Lemmy!

exodustwas an exodus of redditors leaving the platform,
many subs are restricted, many more are private.
the protest continues, a desperate cry for reform,
with the DT closed down, r/melbourne went quiet.
some went to discord, others flocked here
to vent, to query, to share, and commiserate
thank you to those who set up this sphere,
though new to me, to all of you I appreciate.

I've seen some recent posts here about deleting Reddit accounts. If you do decide to, please consider archiving your user page and any posts you particularly enjoyed onto the Wayback Machine. I've deleted many accounts in my time, and trust me, you'll likely feel nostalgic one day and want to go reminiscing. Or, you'll want to link to that one really well-thought-out argument you made one time in a future conversation. A lot easier to do when there's an easily accessible archive you can just access whenever you want.

I accidentally deleted my tumblr a few years ago, I had it for almost ten years but instead of deleting a sideblog I accidentally deleted the whole thing. I found out that some of my posts, or my page were saved to the Wayback Machine, either by myself or someone else I don't know. But there was a post that I had reblogged that was about like if doing x thing resonates with you it's something a lot of adhd people do.

And I reblogged it and put in the tags about how I do it but I don't have ADHD. Welp, almost ten years later since that post, and yes, young landsharkkidd, you do indeed have the adhd.
