You don't get rid of me quite that quickly. Heeerrreeee I am again. I like the idea of all of us having the same cake day though. Cake is good. Cake is life.

Well, here I am.

If we stay, nearly everyone will celebrate cake day on the same day next year.

So there’s that.

r/DT is going full private after 4pm today. Popcorn moment.

[–] miss_cellophane@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Welp, I’m here too!

Makes me realise how much I relied on avatar’s in place of scanning peoples usernames.

Well, I'm here... Didn't know if it would be the same but after having a look, it does feel a bit like home. I promise that I'll try be on my best behaviour, but like in the old times, if I act up please don't be afraid to put me in my place. I'm not the brightest, but with the DT here, I think I can continue to grow.

Ok I'm here.

You know what annoys me the most about all this? I have thousands of saved posts that I was ONE DAY going to get around to sorting through. Now a lot of them are going to be gone.

TB checking in. Relieved to see them friendly usernames here. Not sure I like the site itself but I mean this is hopefully temporary right?

[–] baconmash@aussie.zone 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i'll be here for as long as it takes. Breakfast will be served tomorrow.

I don't know where I am or what I've done but I'm here.

Welcome to the new frontier! It's pretty basic, but we have plenty of potatoes to sustain us while we build. 🥔

I've been here a couple of days but had a teleporting incident on the way over, which led to the development of a multiple personality disorder. I am BrightFadedDog elsewhere, but appear here in the form of a Raven😁

I'm so happy to see so many friendly faces from Reddit here! (I'm IAmABakuAMA if anyone was wondering, but was able to score the shorter version here)

How's life DT peeps?

The death of /r/melbourne is just an inside job to increase WFH productivity

Real eyes realise real lies 👀👀👀

kidcalhoon1 attained double digit status today.. All the sugar was had, and some presents (mostly asked for encyclopaedia type books, which was cool), and seemingly no meltdown.... she's asleep now, so I think we did it.

Hi everyone! I’m so pleased I can see you all here …

Caved and signed up here, I work too much shift work alone not have some sort of little outlet.

So is the DT part 2 electric boogaloo and can we save the community centre?

[–] OIP@aussie.zone 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

trying to follow the mini-convos via indentations in here is hurting my mind a little bit.

I got on Reddit during the pandemic and I begrudgingly admit now that it's gone it has a bigger impact than I expected.

Let's see what the brand new world of Aussie Zone brings.
