Edit: Accidental 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.

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.

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

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.
