I’m a systems librarian in an academic library. I moved over the Lemmy after Rexxit 2023. I’ve had an account on sdf.org since 2009 (under a different username), and so I chose this instance out of a sense of nostalgia. I do all sorts of fiber arts (knitting, cross stitch, sewing) and love dogs.

Yes, but that was generally because stories don’t always fit nicely on a page. I’ve seen plenty of old-timey newspapers and laid out a few modern ones. It’s all about what fits on the page.
Old newspapers also didn’t have ads breaking up the articles. None of this “ad between every paragraph” bullshit for the ancestors!
