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

Hello. This is another one of my attempts to move over from Reddit. I suspect it’ll be a rather slow shift, but I hope it sticks this time. This community seems more relaxed. Responses I’ve seen in some threads comes across as more organic rather than a structured discussion. Nothing wrong with a structured discussion but it can feel a bit tiring from time to time. I hope the relaxed atmosphere will help me be more engaged with you all!

I’m currently expanding my software development knowledge in a bid to change careers. I know, terrible timing.

This shift have also got me to look at other federated software/communities more. I really like the idea of decentralizing communities like this, and still can communicate with each other. It avoids everyone relying on any one site, or company, to build their community. Really lessens the likelihood of what we’re seeing with Reddit (and Twitter).

I’ve listed some of my other fediverse accounts in my bio if anyone’s curious! I’m hoping to add more, like a webserial, or journals for my solo TTRPG campaigns (via writefreely).

I look forward to meeting and experiencing more of the community.
