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, 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.
