I apologize for the list of labels but I’m an atheist, autistic, agoraphobic, asexual, epileptic, trans, homeschooled-until-college 28-year-old cat lady.

If you met me you’d think I’m a relatively normal person though!

I’m a theatre kid working as a data analyst in local government healthcare.

I’m trying to learn Unreal Engine 5 but I’m struggling to keep going even though it’s a lifelong dream. Though I’ve made good and rewarding progress and I took all next week off to let myself hyperfocus without getting fired.

The Wall by Pink Floyd is my favorite album ever, and the first piece of art to make me sob. Every. Damn. Time.

I’m a redneck from Appalachia that has been beaten down by the negativity in the world and from the hostility in anonymous online communities. It’s crazy how hostile people can get when they don’t think they’ll get in trouble. Really loving how friendly everyone seems to be on here and I hope the good environment helps me become less antagonistic personally. Remember the human!

What’s keeping me busy right now is working on my land cruiser and getting it into offroading shape. I love the gym and squats specifically. I made it to 435lbs before I got old and decided to take a chill pill. Playing Days Gone the game on my PS5.

Hi, I’m four babies in a trenchcoat. My interests include grown-up things like businessing and adulting. I am definitely an adult. Ignore the first sentence.

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.

Hi! I’m not just a Reddit refugee, but an everything refugee. Or at least, that’s how it feels. I’ve been online since the mid-80s, and I’ve seen platform after platform be acquired and burnt down under me. I’m pretty much used to it by this point.

That doesn’t mean I like it.

I’m an old-time geek. Huge bibliophile, particularly fond of old science fiction, fantasy, mysteries, children’s books, YA, classics, and humor. Oh, add graphic novels and manga to the list. I’m also a long time tabletop RPG player and GM. My system of choice is the Avalon Hill edition of RuneQuest 3; my RQ site might be the oldest one still existing. Of course I play other systems as well. I’m into deep role-playing, and would definitely like to find people who are interested in that sort of thing!

My primary activity over on Reddit was recommending books. I have a resource of nearly a thousand book recommendations that I have created over the years. Hoping to be able to make recommendations on Lemmy, too.

What else? I’m a pretty good public speaker, and was an invited program participant (i. e. panelist) at a regional New England science fiction convention for over 25 years. I’m an atheist, but I advocate tolerance and understanding between atheists and theists (and yes, I’ve done panels on that topic too; they were great).

I was a redhead when I had hair, with a redheaded son. I’m the single divorced father of a newly-adult son. I’m currently unattached. Oh, and I’m apparently demisexual.

I live in Massachusetts, USA. I like cats, cooking, walking, and well-written TV and movies. I’ve been refining my grilling techniques for about 35 years now, on a lifelong quest to make the perfect burger.

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.

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!

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.

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

Hi all! Another one of those pesky "reddit-fugees” as it were. It was my only sort of “social media” which I mostly used to post pictures of things I baked and try to have positive interactions with other online community members. So needless to say I’m glad I found this server/instance and I’m looking forward to participating in the community.

Beeeeeeeeeeeehawwwwwwwww!!! 🍁

Ooooh this takes me back to the forum era, with elaborate intro posts, trying to impress every one. Good times…

So I’m Khalic, reddit immigrant and very happy to be part a nice community where respect and tolerance is valued. I’m a cis guy, gay, around 40, living in europe, big video game enthusiast, software developer in biotech, I love to learn, dogs, walks, music, reading and many other things.

See you around here

As a neurodivergent person of trans experience, online socializing is critical for safely recharging my social needs. This seems like a good refuge from the plague of corporate interests at the moment. I’m excited to explore and enthuse with everyone :)

I’m yet another reddit refugee. Just wanted everyone to know that there’s a combination emoji for a bee wearing a cowboy hat:

🤠 Beehaw brother

Hi, I’m Omni. Older cis het white dude. Likes math. Not as dipshitty as the previous two sentences imply, I hope.
