a more formal beehaw introduction thread (beehaw.org)

the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the "how was your week" thread isn't a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples' posts aren't getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don't gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this'll be a good way of getting to know all the people you're now on here with

Hi there, Nice to meet everyone.

I go by GooseDwarf, I'm a tech enthusiast, who also enjoys video games, tabletop games, and reading SciFi and Fantasy. Like many others, I'm working on leaving Reddit, and after seeing people mention Lemmy, and seeing Beehaw at the top of the recommended, decided to give this community a try.

Do you have a favorite sci-fi or fantasy author to recommend? (I am deeply entrenched in Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Ursula le Guin.)

@StringTheory
I'm not @GooseDwarf but I highly recommend the works of Alastair Reynolds. I got hooked and ripped through most of his books in a matter of months. Really great sci-fi. He's got a stand-alone novel called House of Suns that is a great way to check out his writing.

Thank you! I’ll take a look, he’s an author I don’t think I’ve ever read.
