Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

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

Longtime redditor exploring new territory, to me at least. Digging that there is somewhere else to feddit and trying to get a feel for things here on Beehaw.

I like my coffee bold, black and pipping hot.

Hello, Beehaw!

I am yet another humanoid joining the exodus from Reddit. My hope is that I can find more mindful, positive communities than the ones I'm leaving behind, and be more thoughtful about the way I engage with online content. Beehaw's philosophy seems to fit me like a glove and, between this place and Tildes, I'm optimistic that I've found new spaces to put down my digital roots.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest (US). My interests are all over the place and shift depending on the season, but generally: reading, writing, music (punk rock in particular), psychology, philosophy, politics, geopolitics, history, etc. I value decentralization and autonomy in a general sense, so I think moving over to a federated system will fit me better in an ethical sense.

Thank you to Beehaw for accepting my application, I am very pleased to be amongst such nice folks! I hope to see you all around.

Hey folks, NYC-based. Not a refugee of anything or anywhere. Just an ardent supporter of a decentralized internet.

Hi, I'm a gozt (pronounced "ghost" if you care) and I'm a 30 year old dude who's trying to learn how to code. Taking a course walking me through Javascript at the moment and I'm rather enjoying it even if some stuff takes some head-bashing to understand it. Not sure if I'll be able to make a career out of it but I'm hoping for the best.

I have pretty broad taste in things, I like to believe there's something in any genre or variety that I will love. I think the quality I appreciate the most is sincerity; if you're into what you're making, and you put your all into it, I will probably love it.

Aside from that, my hobbies are gaming and drawing. I don't put as much time into drawing as I probably should but it is something I enjoy. And as for gaming, I play too much stuff and I've already gone on long enough.

Hey everyone, I'm based out of East Asia, but lived the majority of my life outside of my home country. I love technology, sports (playing, not watching), video games, reading, and music.

Also part of the reddit exodus crowd, and I'm glad to be here.

I'm another reddit refugee, I'm in my 20s, I like watching movies and tv shows at double speed, I'm an expert in digital piracy and I'm hoping to make some friends here

Another Reddit refugee here.

I'm Valliac, mid-thirties over on the east coast of the US.

I'm generally a videogaming and pro wrestling nerd. I stream videogames on twitch (same name), DJ as a hobby, and am overall sarcastic in most of my replies.

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.

Hi everyone! Just your friendly, vegan anti-natalist here and also someone who really looks forward to using something that simply can't be owned by some corporation. Pronouns are they/them .

Hi all, another long-time reddit lurker moving over here. I'm wrapping up a CS program and have a couple python webapps I develop as a hobby. I'm generally interested in tech and sports -- huge soccer fan ⚽

I'll try to be more active here and contribute to the community, looking forward to chat with you all :)

Hi! I'm a humble cube (he / him). I'm a devops engineer. I was looking for a Lemmy home thanks to Redditacting and behaving the way they have been. I wanted an instance that didn't allow harmful propaganda to be propagated and this seemed like a good place

EDIT: haha didn't mean to reply to a comment rather than the thread. I'm leaving this as a testament to that I'm still learning this new platform

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hello cube, we'll figure it out together :)
