Guten Morgen!

28 y.o. German nerd (kinda, you know what I mean) that has just migrated over from Reddit because... you know. Since I heard about this new community, I wanted to be a part of it. Let's make this grow, right? Anyways, I have been way too much into all kinds of tv series, recently rewatching Charmed as we speak. In general I do like all kinds of series tho, but I am not a fan (and beware, here comes the shame) of Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings... yes, I know, how dare I. But it's just not for me haha.

If my stupid PC didn't break down about 9 months ago, I would still be all up into gaming. I love it, it's my favorite hobby besides another one that I will mention shortly haha. But yes, my PC was old, very old, and it finally gave up the will to support my hobby. And since the prices are too high for my low-paid job, I can't afford a new one.

So the other hobby I wanted to mention is writing. It is my longest-running hobby (if you can say it like that). I love it, but my writer's block has been insane. Anyways, I just love expressing myself like that, creatively since I think (in a very humble way, believe me) that I am in fact very creative and it bugs me so much that thanks to my writer's block, I can't make good use out of it.

Before this gets too long, I want to stop it here, just some side notes: I really want to meet some nice people on here and make friends all over the world, since this is the biggest benefit of the internet, right? We have a big opportunity here!

Hi, another Reddit traveller here. I'm a 30 something Brit who analyses data for a living, with a love of choral singing, reading and gaming. Loving Two Point Hospital and Rimworld- on the PC and Skyrim on the PS4 at the moment (but my PS4 died so trying to get the courage to take the plunge and get a ps5). I love live comedy and go to Edinburgh every year.

Hello! My name is computerfan0 and I use he/they/it pronouns. I'm coming here to prepare for Reddit's third party ban. I'm from Ireland and I like computers, gaming and sometimes getting out for a walk/cycle.

Longtime redditor exploring new territory, to me at least. Digging that there is somewhere else to feddit and trying to get a feel for things here on Beehaw.

I like my coffee bold, black and pipping hot.

Hi, I'm a gozt (pronounced "ghost" if you care) and I'm a 30 year old dude who's trying to learn how to code. Taking a course walking me through Javascript at the moment and I'm rather enjoying it even if some stuff takes some head-bashing to understand it. Not sure if I'll be able to make a career out of it but I'm hoping for the best.

I have pretty broad taste in things, I like to believe there's something in any genre or variety that I will love. I think the quality I appreciate the most is sincerity; if you're into what you're making, and you put your all into it, I will probably love it.

Aside from that, my hobbies are gaming and drawing. I don't put as much time into drawing as I probably should but it is something I enjoy. And as for gaming, I play too much stuff and I've already gone on long enough.

Hello, my name is Daryl Sun, but you can call me Daryl. I've been here on Beehaw for over a month, and usually I post links to news articles that I think everyone should know, or random articles I find that might be of interest to some people. I hang around tech-related communities most of the time, but I also like reading other people's stories. I also easily get distracted and focus on something else, so I'll probably go quiet every now and then.

Hello, people of Beehaw! I'm excited to explore this chill community. I love chatting about video games and I have three adorable pet rats. Nice to see you all here!

First post! Just throwing myself in here. Initially I was interested in this community as a Reddit alternative, but I have to admit I'm pretty impressed with the coherent vision that this site has for how it wants to exist. I've been lurking for a little bit and I think this site provides a totally different type of value than other social media spaces! That's amazing! So I'm excited to contribute what value and content I can and be a part of the ethos.

Hello to all. I'm yet another reddit refuge. Initially, I was quite bummed at the news about the API price out of the 3rd party apps that had made reddit at all usable. Having discovered Beehaw and Lemmy, I'm becoming quite glad. I'd already abandoned Twitter for Mastadon, but I never quite appreciated that the Fediverse was a thing until the Great Reddit Purge forced me to take a step back and re-evaluate my (digital) life.

I'm now quite glad those bastards are putting the last nail in that particular coffin. I've known the Internet from when it was young, and I remember the nettiquette of olde. This place has the feel of those days. It's nice and refreshing.

I'm an avid computer and cyber security geek with a love of reading, music, programming, sysadmining, teaching, and many other things. It's great to be here with ya'll, I'm excited to be part of this great community! :-)

Hi, I'm Lionir but you can just call me Lio.

I'm a young adult and I've been involved, even if from quite a distance in the making of Beehaw. I speak French as I've notice a few others do.

I'm not sure how to present myself. I'd say I tend to be quite pragmatic in how I talk even though I think I'm generally rather emotionally aware and a good listener. I don't think that this means that my rationality is more important to me than my emotional sensibility but rather that I'm not really sure how to be useful outside of a pragmatic approach.

I have a wide range of interests. I advocate for privacy, freedom, better working conditions and more generally human rights. I think often about how power structures (for example, capitalism) affect people. I like to talk about what I think is good design. I enjoy anime and video games. I do some programming as I have my own website and maintain packages on Flathub. I'm always looking to learn new things!

I'm glad to see this place alive and well.

Howdies!!

I'm xorels, a queer (she/her) Irish woman studying cybersecurity. I also game, crochet, and am learning Japanese.

I've lately been trying to degoogle and move away from large corporations and towards FOSS software, so joining Beehaw was partly inspired by that and partly by... Reddit. Both the API change and the toxicity on that site. I got sick of reporting harassment and [minority]-phobia and getting ignored, or harassed myself for speaking up. I can't leave it entirely for a few reasons but at least I can cut down my usage.

I generally don't post online, I prefer to lurk or comment, but I'll try and change that if I can. I'm a big fan of the positivity and friendly, nice attitude on here.

Hello, Beehaw!

I am yet another humanoid joining the exodus from Reddit. My hope is that I can find more mindful, positive communities than the ones I'm leaving behind, and be more thoughtful about the way I engage with online content. Beehaw's philosophy seems to fit me like a glove and, between this place and Tildes, I'm optimistic that I've found new spaces to put down my digital roots.

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest (US). My interests are all over the place and shift depending on the season, but generally: reading, writing, music (punk rock in particular), psychology, philosophy, politics, geopolitics, history, etc. I value decentralization and autonomy in a general sense, so I think moving over to a federated system will fit me better in an ethical sense.

Thank you to Beehaw for accepting my application, I am very pleased to be amongst such nice folks! I hope to see you all around.

Hello all!

I'm Hazelnoot (she/they), a Software Developer from the USA. My main interests are Programming, Gaming (PC and TTRPGs), Anime, and Retrocomputing. I'm also proudly transgender and would love to connect with other LGBTQ+ people here!

I've got the usual story - decade Reddit user being driven out by API restrictions. In fact, this is actually my second time being pushed off a mainstream platform and onto the Fediverse. I previously left Twitter for Mastodon after Elon Musk took over and all moderation disappeared. I've been very interested in Lemmy as a replacement for Reddit, and I'm excited to be here on Beehaw!

Howdy partners! Like many folks round here, I'm a reddit refugee. Been looking for a solid replacement for a while, and here seems nice so far (: I'm a enby nursing student bumming around the US east coast. But really, music is love and life! I play a handful of random instruments and spend my nights making playlists of my fav songs. Any music recommendations?

hello. I'm a reddit lurker glad to potentially have more community, but we'll see if I can stick it out. I think reddit persisted in my life because I didn't log in almost ever :)

anyway: I'm a software engineer, queer (they/them), near-vegan, and happily autistic. here to talk about surviving to 2040. interested in books, video games (currently 11 years into my longest rimworld save), spiders, gay memes, sustainability, trans rights, and noninvasive home tech.

I'm Audrey, a long time Reddit user who signed up yesterday. I initially joined Reddit during the collapse of Digg, so, yeah, I've been there a while. I also dumped Twitter shortly after Elon Musk took over and switched to Mastodon; that was my first experience with the Fediverse. So far, I've had nothing but good experiences with the people I have met on fedi, and I hope that continues here.

Anyway, I am a 35 year old trans woman who lives in the Pacific Northwest, and my interests include video games(both modern and retro), movies(particularly the so bad it good kind), sports(well, I used to care more than I do, I only follow Seattle teams now), books(sci-fi, fantasy, history), and tech(to a degree). I do stream on Twitch from time to time, and I'm planning on switching to Linux when I build my new computer soon.

I can also be found on Mastodon at @UngodlyAudrey@retro.pizza

Nice to meet you all!

Hey y’all. I’m bettyspaghetti and I too am a Reddit refugee. I live in central Ohio. I’m a data engineer by day, artist by night (I paint and quilt). I’m a grouchy cusp of Gen X and Millennial. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog named Louie (he is a certified Good Boi). I love exploring the world (19 countries so far), playing baseball with my two boys, reading, making niche Spotify playlists, kayaking, laying in my hammock in the warm weather with the jazz cabbage and watching the night sky.

Howdy from Austin, TX! Excited to be here. I have a love for strange sounds, and stranger places (virtual or not). Current projects include: trying to teach myself how to sketch in 10 minutes a day, writing my dissertation, learning Spanish, and playing go (I'm terrible).

Hi! Looking for weird shit on the Internet and I like comics

Hi everyone! Just your friendly, vegan anti-natalist here and also someone who really looks forward to using something that simply can't be owned by some corporation. Pronouns are they/them .

Hi, I'm birdy; a new user who joined yesterday. I've been meaning to look into lemmy for a while. Finally decided to actually get around to doing it.

My interests that come to mind right now are some sports, board games, reading, and technology.
