Iโ€™m wondering if lemmy.ml is the first or the oldest alive instance (itโ€™s a server!!!) or if itโ€™s just one of the fastest growing instance ahead. ๐Ÿ™Œโฌ†๏ธ the precambrian lemmies!โ€”only maybe know before I step on this world.

Iโ€™d say that COVID is also more universal. 9/11 is only that important for people in the US.

Genuine question, was airport security not tightened up worldwide after 9/11? I remember as a kid I would go through security quickly and be able to have someone at the gate waiting for me. That was never a thing after 9/11. Did the rest of the world not also have these changes? I guess for me Iโ€™m an extreme case because I live in NYC. I have no clue how it affected people across the country even, let alone in other countries. In my defense I was only 7 at the time.
