Hi i am Yumi 23, just a lost soul somewhere in your small little rectangle in your pocket. I wish everyone a nice day.

Hi, I'm an architect and I eat too much mayonnaise. Used to be on reddit and forums and bbses and I found my way here. I love reading scifi but I wasn't too active on reddit because of the enders game brownshirts. It's nice being here

Hard to figure where to start. Been on just about every platform here and there with little special use for any of them. I have very bittersweet feelings about the Internet overall, relating mostly to what happens with information available to us. I'm not too filled in on the scope of the reddit drama, but I do really like the fediverse and always support efforts to have more autonomous means of social networking. Anyways, more about me: I'm almost four years into HRT and trying to keep a footing in writing. (I have four short poetry books and a sporadic blog under my belt so far.) So much is going on over the existence of people like me that it puts me in depressive stupors disabling me from finding the words for the feels. But I'm carrying on as best as a girl can. I'm almost always making notes for projects, so that's something. Primary interests of mine are history, literature, free/open source technology, anarchist theory, pagan spirituality and pantheons, cannabis as a medicinal treatment (and politics relating to its complete legalization), horticulture, hiking, ecology and armed self-defense. I play a few PC games like the Half-Life series, The Elder Scrolls series, different shooters and RPGs, but I'm not as much of a massive gamer as my partner is. I mostly listen to crust punk / d-beat / grindcore / mincecore, very much identifying with that section of punk culture, but like most people I also listen to just about everything. Joy Division, Interpol, Killing Joke, Fields Of Nephilim, Sisters Of Mercy, She Past Away, In This Moment, Pixies, REM, Gillian Welch and Kossoy Sisters just to name some from my spotify. All that said, I hope this finds everyone well and that you all have an outstanding day :) Mastodon

Hi all, I've also recently joined Beehaw from reddit. Im a queer AuDHD agender person originally from the Solomon Islands but now living in Australia. I'm a single parent to an almost 2 year old who is obsessed with dinosaurs, dogs and babies. My kid is amazing but OMG toddlers! I spent most of my career working in community services mostly with communities who experience significant systemic discrimination but recently moved into IT. I'm still working not for profit but now in the IT team. While I was studying my IT degree I did a minor in Internet Communications and got offered post grad to research, simply, community, power and politics online. I turned it down because I needed to make some money and didnt think becoming an academic would achieve that (and also i was about to have a baby) but now I'm watching the shit show that is reddit and thinking about what a great thesis it would make! I'm excited to participate more on the platform without the fear of harassment I often had on other platforms. The rules and values of beehaw make me a lot more comfortable to post.

Hey all, I heard about Lemmy from Mastodon and thought I’d give it a shot. I was never much of a reddit user besides occasional lurking, mostly because the quality of discussions seemed pretty hit or miss. BeeHaw seems a lot nicer though, so I thought I’d give it a shot.

I use he/him/his pronouns. If privilege was a game of bingo, my particular demographics would likely be the free space. I try to acknowledge that and use it for good.

By day I’m a staff software engineer at a relatively large tech company (which means I write more docs than code most of the time), and by night I’m a cooking enthusiast, musician, sci fi novel fan, and exhausted parent of a toddler.

Here from Reddit (Apollo user).

I am a HS Biology teacher with a previous career in game development. Very involved in gamification and VR in education (creating in VR, the apps that can be used in a classroom are lacking at the moment).

If it dates me, I had a Digg account back in the day and have spent more time on MySpace than Facebook.

Hey all! Zach here.

Bit of a refugee, bit not. I've had a Mastodon for a bit now, and have been interested in federated networks and p2p stuff since even before that. Mostly lurked on Reddit, primarily due to the sheer size of the place (unless you post in the first few minutes of a thread in the major subs, your comment is likely to get buried). Most of the time things didn't feel conducive towards having a normal conversation, so I would just hold back.

I'm a software engineer, currently working for a company that creates mobile + cashless solutions for casinos and resorts. Fun stuff. Background in cyber security and cryptocurrencies. Mostly self taught, since I got my first PC when I was 7. Went to college for a bit, learned nothing I hadn't taught myself, and dropped out. Seems that worked out just fine.

In my free time I'm an avid gamer. Pretty decent (better than my IRL friends at least) at FPS', played a lot of CoD and then CS:GO while growing up. Currently jumping around between RDR2 (RedM) and Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Before that, I was on a Rust kick. Most mainstream studios have completely shit the bed the last few years with a few exceptions, so I enjoy playing games that have lasted for a while and maintained communities around them. Not to say I don't ever try new releases, I'm just not often sucked into them how I used to in the past.

Two dogs, one cat, and an axolotl. Fortunate enough to have found my better half at a young age, and we've been together since.

Glad to have found Lemmy and a community like this one in the wake of Reddit's decisions. I'm looking forward to engaging with people again. Cheers everyone.

Hello everyone. I’m a cis gay man. I love media with weird, dark, disturbing and overall just unique themes. My favorite games include: Bloodborne, DS3, Fear and Hunger, The Void. My favorite movies are Midsommar, Black Swan and Paprika. And my two favorite things in the world are Berserk the manga and Mr. Robot. I enjoy learning about chemistry (it's going to be my future job hopefully), programming, politics, philosophy and other related topics. I'm also an artist, mostly as a hobby and a way to let loose (It's free therapy).
I’m not very good at socializing and I don’t have any friends irl. I also don’t like most social media platforms and I often feel like I don’t fit in with anyone’s views not online or the people around me. I’m a leftist, maybe too much for some people’s taste. I used to be addicted to multiple substances and I've struggled with mental health issues since I was a child. And that’s me in a nutshell. Oh, and I’m a Zoomer.

Yo!

Software developer and gamer. Started on the Commodore 64 with both and never stopped.

Having been through several tech enshittification cycles, I've long been wondering when Reddit would be too "meh" for me. That happened earlier this week, when I decided that Lemmy was more the tech and community I was looking for. Planned to leave gracefully during June.

Then I saw the AMA and... That set off my "Fuck This Shit with a Vengeance" so currently coding up a script to make my Reddit account die very ungracefully.

I’m a Reddit refugee who met my future husband on Reddit 13 years ago. It feels weird to be leaving.

Heya everyone. Found this place when I was looking for Reddit alternatives after getting the shut down message in Apollo. Checked the list of alternatives on a subreddit and was immediately grossed out by transphobic sites and fucking VOAT of all places being in the list, so randomly running into this place after that was very relieving.

Big into tabletop RPGs, started with Pathfinder 1st edition a long time ago but have mostly been playing D&D 5th edition with some sprinklings of OSR and PbtA-influenced games (well, game, singular. Blades in the Dark is super fun though!) Like most tabletop fans probably, I'm also into fantasy/sci-fi media.

Happy weekend!

Hi, im a redditor. Probably won't be for long though.

Im a c# and typescript developer, computer enthusiast, avid book and comic reader, and a fantasy and scifi fan. Im very introverted and agoraphobic, unskilled at social stuff, badly overweight and less-than-optimally-active, and just started on anti-depressants. Other than that im an utterly boring person.

I'm an asexual tomboy that's studying web dev to give a turn to her career (I worked in OSHA) and I'm loving it!

Doing formal studies and already passed my first year, now I'm going to complete some courses to prepare for the next and last year and hopefully get a job after the internship.

I love strategy and building video games, I like K-pop (well, mostly I like Super Junior), writing, and language learning (currently learning Korean).

I've seen some devs here, can you guide me to some places where I can find projects to build organized by concepts, tools, and/or difficulty?
