Hello, I feel we should have a thread to introduce ourselves, as well as an excuse to make a post and try the system out

    S’up, my name’s Anna and I use he/him. I like zombie shows/games etc. I also like old school things like message boards and am more into those than social media.

    I don’t do anything cool like programming but I want to work at a library or move boxes by hand.

    I like tv shows like Shameless, I am not ok with this, and I’ve watched some eps of Yellowstone and that seems cool.

    DTT but I don’t like to be social that much. I left social media after 6 yrs bcuz I felt like I had to be social and it didn’t feel as private as I’d like it to be.

    Hello, I am old, confused and a bit lost. Wandered in here and just felt a bit nostalgic for the time of bulletin boards, when I believed that when information becomes widely available everything will just get better

    I first saw the Internet in 1980, without any understanding of what it was I was looking at. Several decades later, after a database admin job (Unix, ingress) and some early dabbing in html and javascript, after using it daily and getting frustrated with it, I still don’t really grasp it.

    You people give me hope. Thank you! Who knows, I might learn rust yet. Had some C++ once…

    Hello, I’m a Pythonista and study Data Science. 2023 is the year I go back and get my Master’s in the field. I’m an avid reader and belong to the Sword & Laser book club. I’m over at @jkb@mastodon.social as having left social media after the 2016 election, that was causation not correlation. As I surfed the web for the last 30 years I’ve come across the Fediverse and now I’m spending time studying it and participating as it is the now and future.

    Hi! I’m a nobody who likes fedi software and was looking for a forum platform and most modern forum platforms I can’t stand so I’m very interested in the idea of a federated phpbb revival that isn’t as decrepit as real phpbb but keeps the flow of it
