@ericatty @failedLyndonLaRouchite @maegul @stux when I first found out about the fedi.directory and fediverse.info I was thinking, wow are we headed back to the white pages and yellow pages again? Or maybe we’re revisiting the Yahoo directory years?

The Yellow Pages had one hell of a run! I wish I had saved some old ones. They were like time capsules of what your local community was on any given year. They took up so much space that you couldn’t wait to throw out the old ones, but yet if you found a really old one, it was hard not to spend the next hour just flipping through it.
