Chat

Hey guys I made a post. This is my first post and will probably be making more posts if the vibe is right.

hey all! i’m thumbtack, been here a couple of weeks and believe id like to stay after being a redditor for ~6 years. i’m interested in spirituality, creative works (sewing, drawing, etc.), world building, and alternative rock music. looking forward to being part of the community!

Hi I'm gabuwu, aka gabe. I am a 22 year old gay jewish dude and enjoy reading and knitting and crochet! as well as gaming. I also love cats!

Hello from jerboa on Android! Another reddit refugee, former digg refugee ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hi i'm L. I've been on reddit since 2012 and would like an alternative! I used to use chatrooms a lot as a kid (don't worry I stayed safe!) and am kinda looking for that camaraderie again :)))) Big pop culture nerd

Came here from Reddit! Just hoping to talk to other people about my interests, idk how much I'll post though lol.

I'm also switching over from Reddit! I didn't post as much on Reddit but I will try to here. Hoping to find similar communities as the ones on Reddit such as sourdough, city communities (Brussels, Edinburgh, etc.) And games. Still trying to figure out the fediverse but liking it a lot so far!

Edit: Accidental post.

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

Hello, i'm andrew and like many — a reddit refugee. I'm a graphic designer and web developer who currently resides in the UK, but is planning on moving to Germany later this year. It feels nice to be looking around all of the different communities, my main focus at the moment is learning German.

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.

Hi, my name is Alicja or Layla. I am trans girl. I am really interested in almost anything technology related, and I am also interested in science, mathematics, foss and bunch more. I am currently studying to get mechatronics degree.

Hi, I'm Nora! I'm a queer jeweler and I make funny bots sometimes. I am into tabletop games, leftism, colors, dragons, etc.

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.

I've almost signed up for this a few time but never felt the need to complete the sign up since there was always reddit... but now I'm starting to doubt reddit will survive unharmed. So here I am.

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 :)

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

Hi. I’m everyone’s favorite nurse turned citizen detective. I own a bird named Caligula and love to solve cold cases. BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ 🐝

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.

Hi everyone! I just arrived here from Reddit, and am looking forward to getting to know Beehaw's communities. I think my discord bio described me best: geriatric millennial, entertainment junkie (books, shows, movies, news, gossip), nature enjoyer. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA community, involved in science fields by trade, and on a perpetual mission to learn new things. Happy to be here.

I’m a Reddit refugee, been trying Beehaw and Kbin. Kudos to whatever was done to improve the speed here, it is lightning fast today! Kbin, not so much - the owner there had to implement DDOS protection and it is largely unusable at the moment. All of this is a work in progress and is rather exciting! I am going to switch over to Lemmy in full from Reddit, and I think this will end up being just fine.

Hello. Been here since April already. I'm a late Baby boomer, dad to one, granddad to four. Quite introvert and reserved (unless alcohol is involved) but if you poke me enough I might engage in conversation with you. Self-deprecating sense of humour.

Updated to add my Mastodon link

Hi! I'm a nonbinary (they/them/theirs) programmer and actor. I left Reddit recently and am having a nice time on Beehaw being gay and having good conversations with people. This community has been a great way for me to get started in the fediverse. Thanks for having me!

I enjoy cooking, fighting games, live music, Vampire: The Masquerade and my cat Izzy.

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! I'm a trans woman who likes for the most part gaming stuff and programming(said every Redditor trans woman ever!)

I also like:

• Music (Mostly metal and progressive rock, with some pop on the side). I'm also learning to play the guitar.
• Animals, especially cats and dogs, in that order 😼
• Transformers, been an important part of my early childhood.
• Reading, though I haven't been able to really get into that hobby yet
• Watching TV, for the most part animation, Star Wars, and some others. Favorite series, in no order: Gravity Falls, The Owl House, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Transformers Prime, Clone Wars
• Movies are cool too. From the top of my head I like Nobody, the first Monty Python(haven't watched the others), Lord of the Rings(recently watched Two Towers for the first time, gonna watch Return of the King soon), Into/Across The Spiderverse, all Star Wars movies except sequels and most of the Disney Rennaisance stuff. I used to like Marvel movies but I got burnt out.
• Favorite videogames of all time include: Titanfall 2, Portal 2, Kirby Superstar Ultra, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Sonic Mania, Earthbound, Mother 3, Super Mario Galaxy, Celeste, Mega Man X, and some others I may have forgotten.

Hi everybody, another reddit refugee here. I'm liking the vibe of this place so far, reminds me of the early days of reddit before it got too full of trolls, bots, & spam. Some of My interests are tech, art, craft and diy hobbies, 3d printers, lgbt topics.

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.

Hey everyone! Thought I'd add to the ever growing pile of Reddit refugees. In all seriousness I have been watching in horror at how reddit has been declining over the last few years and the 3rd party app debacle has finally forced me out into what seems a much healthier and happier community. Can't wait to get to chat to you all!

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.

Can I use really bad introduction line?
