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 my gateway
drugto Unix, USENET, and mail when I was a teen in the early '90s in Dallas via its getty dialup shells. I owe my career partially to SDF as it prepared me to use Linux (SLS) in its early days and gave me access to USENET to seek help from the community.I haven’t explored any of the other services yet as I was just looking for an escape from Reddit, but it feels comforting going through SDF again for a pipe to discussion forums.
