Just spreading a little trivia on the Fediverse! If it sparks some interest in the subject, then I consider my time well-spent!

oh /r/AskHistorians, how I loved browsing you πŸ₯²

The most tragic loss by far.

What happened? I'm out of the reddit loop

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago

/r/AskHistorians didn't go anywhere, but we left Reddit. Abandoning most subreddits was easy enough as Reddit overall had seriously decreased in quality, but /r/AskHistorians had always been and remained of far higher quality than the rest, so, this is why I consider it as the most tragic loss by far. Nothing at the moment can replace it.

For me, it’s 75% random historical books that brought me to a Wikipedia rabbit hole (always confirm your sources) and that one amazing teacher

[–] moshankey@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

I had two amazing history teachers. One when I was in 9th grade and the one that taught me how to be a better history teacher when I was teaching fourth and fifth grade.

I'm conflicted over Saboton taking the crown from Iron Maiden

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

tbf Sabaton is a one-note band on the subject of military history, while for Iron Maiden it was always just one subject out of many.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Very true. And, for me Maiden play the type of music I feel most comfortablewith, altho, tbf, they have a few decades head start in my memory banks. But, Sabaton is a nice way to learn some history.
