What is Funhole?

I see a lot of posts from them, and now from This is Not Funhole. They seem to have a particular theme, or style, but the description isn't very descriptive. What are these communities?

Apparently sdf.org is an ancient (1987!!) unix community server. I would guess they took their established community and in-jokes and stuff and brought some of it over to lemmy

They have a kind of (collaborative?) comic thing that kind of reminds me of SCP but it's a cyberpunk corpo dystopia with a very distinctive art style

  • mobilek = big tech stand-in
  • main character (nameless?)
  • wise fish wizard to guide main character on the hero's journey

MATA is the BigCorp standin, mobilek is the cell phone model

I thought for sure ‘mobilek’ just means a cellphone in some language's slang, but surprisingly a brief search doesn't bring anything up in this vein.

The simplest (and also best imo) story thread is Child of 9 (kill -9 kills any process instantly on the terminal, so child of 9 = child of death) fighting MATAcorp

I believe the main character's name is "Girl".

Yes wiki/SDF_Public_Access_Unix_System!

Folks can also check out analognowhere.com for fun content, they have a wiki there too with extra info.

Also mobilek is just a mega/matacorp window basically, just like the matabots.

I thought funhole was an Onion property that parodies buzzfeed.

Funhole is mysterious and important.

It's the now former name of Lego-competitor Lumibricks (and at superior to Lego if you ask me).

maub@feddit.org · 1 pts · 10h

I think they're spelled with an additional "w". But I agree, they're superior to Lego.
