Hi! I'm @slackadelic as you can tell! I've used this moniker for many years. The root of the nick comes from Slackware Linux many, many moons ago. I'm a father first, a husband second, and a gamer the rest of the time!

I like to play a lot of different games including #TheDivision2, #SeaOfThieves, #Battlefield (4 or 2042, either works for me).

My biggest hobby is streaming! You can always find me on #YouTube under my tag of slackadelicYT (yeah, whomever has my proper moniker never uses their account! ARGH!)

My main concentration right now for gaming is #TheDivision2 right now.

Other things I'm into:

• Information Technology - This is my primary field of study and have been doing it for many, many years My main concentration is networks and network engineering. I do have a pretty complicated setup at home, comes with the territory!

• Date nights with my wife! Love hanging out with my lady!

• Spending time with my kiddos. When they're not fighting each other and making a mess :)

I'm also a proud father to a recent high school graduate! Very, very proud of her!

Anything else, just ask!

Reddit-refugee here. I'm originally from MN. Looking forward to taking part here.

My primary hobby is books/reading as well as gardening. Mostly classics and speculative fiction.

Howdy all. Think I'm figuring out how Lemmy and the Fediverse works. Neat stuff. Hoping to see midwest.social take off as reddit implodes.

Hi. I'm looking for weird shit in the Internet. I decided to hop on Midwest.social to ease the burden in Lemmy.ml

Hey all, small town Illinoisan here. I've been in IT for over a decade, but I'm trying to transition to pretty much anything else at this point.

I'm also a game developer, solo in my free time. Anybody know of any good gamedev communities here?

Hello! Akron, OH resident here. Born in IL, lived in WI, raised in IA, live in OH currently. Lovely to be here.

I joined Mastodon a bit ago & loving it, so let's give the Reddit equivalent a spin. Chicagoland here.

I have to admit though it's pretty jarring to see self-professed leftists toss around "refugee" casually.

Michigander through and through. Will be hanging out in the Detroit sub.

Kendall County IL, old, cars, motorcycles, Microsoft "stuff." I am willing to help with whatever, if you're in the area and need a hand, let me know.

Hi, I just joined. Looking for something to scratch that specific Reddit itch, where I mostly just post about bicycles and browse a couple of the decent other subs. I bike and unicycle and live in NE Ohio

Hey there from Indy. Yet another former Reddit user looking for a new place to waste time. I'm excited/hopeful about joining a community of Midwest leftists! Even if it is just a small enclave inside former KKK country.

Apollo refugee, SE Wisconsin. Musician (woodwinds), tech enthusiast, figuring out the fediverse.

EDIT: I forgot to add. Currently vacationing with the family in South Dakota. I miss my flat, grid cities!

Greetings from NW Ohio. Moved to mastodon a while back and have enjoyed that, so looking forward to the fediverse's take on reddit. So far so good!

Hey everybody! Twin cities reddit/twitter expat. I’m a goofy laid-back leftist who likes freedom of information and social settings not run on selling products. I like gaming on Switch, PlayStation and Mac (I know. It sucks.), drinking fancy espresso drinks I made, and listening to hard rock + nu metal. Talk to me about homelab stuff and capitalism-free computing!

Hello. I have lived in Kansas for all but three years of my life. Liked Seattle and Dallas, but they weren't home. Been thinking about Lemmy for a while and, even though RedReader has gotten a reprieve, even QuantumBadger, the developer, doesn't like Reddit's direction. So, here I am and am looking forward to it. Retired now and getting ready to do some traveling, but I will always be a midwesterner.

Looks like the site Avatar is down. My avatar didn't load either until I re-uploaded a new one. Some users are showing and others are not. Browser cache refresh doesn't do anything either, so it seems to be something on the server side. Other than that, I'm enjoying my time here. Cheers!

Hey there from the Minnesota side of the St.Croix Valley. "Build guy" by trade currently dabbling in Splunk and Cribl. Lived in Chicago for a while, but MN is home. Skol Vikes!

Hello fellow kids. Fellow great lakesian here.

Hey all! Nebraskan from the lone blue dot in a sea of red.

Lansing MI resident here! Dad, husband, fisherman, 3d printer dude, and drone pilot. Happy to be here :)

I have a question about Rule 1. Does this rule apply to posts within the midwest.social or does it prevent browsing and subscribing to NSFW content on other servers?

PA, programmer, working for a local nonprofit.

I of course found my way here from reddit. I started lurking on mastodon occasionally when musk first took over Twitter, but I didn't get into it. I wasn't a Twitter user either. This looks more like my jam though.

I'm a lifelong chicagoan (nw side). I've been daily driving slackware since the late 90s. I play a mean bass. I smoke meat when the mood strikes. I bought a fixer upper without the skills or budget to fix it up. I have a 4 year old daughter. I work in international logistics.

Moved east to Chicago but I'm still a South Dakotant at heart.
