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, just another refugee. Not much to say other than the fact I’ve used Reddit for a few years at this point, almost solely through Apollo. This change was enough to get me to sign up, so hello I guess

Hi! I am new here. I already have a couple of accounts elsewhere on fedi for quite some time now, but I also wanted to jump on the "escaping reddit" bandwagon and see where it takes me. This looks like a cool place, I am looking forward to participating! I mostly used reddit for looking for players for my RPG groups and for asking linux questions, I hope I will be able to participate in such discussions and activities here as well.

Hello to all. I'm yet another reddit refuge. Initially, I was quite bummed at the news about the API price out of the 3rd party apps that had made reddit at all usable. Having discovered Beehaw and Lemmy, I'm becoming quite glad. I'd already abandoned Twitter for Mastadon, but I never quite appreciated that the Fediverse was a thing until the Great Reddit Purge forced me to take a step back and re-evaluate my (digital) life.

I'm now quite glad those bastards are putting the last nail in that particular coffin. I've known the Internet from when it was young, and I remember the nettiquette of olde. This place has the feel of those days. It's nice and refreshing.

I'm an avid computer and cyber security geek with a love of reading, music, programming, sysadmining, teaching, and many other things. It's great to be here with ya'll, I'm excited to be part of this great community! :-)

Hello fellow uhh… post-redditor? What parts of cyber security do you like? Funny how most people here are still programmers.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've always been most keen on understanding how offensive cyber is conducted in order to best defend against it. What programming I do is just to facilitate that.

Are you also interested or involved in cyber security?
