Hello, I’m green_witch!
I’m a travel-weary drifter from the festering ruins of “that place”, where I spent most of my time lurking.
I enjoy herbalism, mycology, bushcraft, botany, nature, and consider myself a student therein. I’m unfortunately pretty timid, and my grasp on language is tenuous at best, but I’m trying to open up more and (hopefully) be a part of a community.
I hope we can all treat each other well and make something neat together.
Hi, I’m Omni. Older cis het white dude. Likes math. Not as dipshitty as the previous two sentences imply, I hope.
In a previous life, I wrote a moderately successful indie game. Currently, working part time in R&D for a small nuclear engineering company, and spending the rest of my time in independent study. Currently working on group theory.
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
I hope you know this emoji has made it to the Discord 🤭 Welcome to Beehaw!
Nice! Is there a public Discord server for Beehaw? I can’t seem to find a link to one.
i’ll DM you an invite to it; we just dropped it from the sidebar for now because we’re already a little thin with attention and don’t have discord mods yet who can specifically keep an eye on it.
We have a Discord but it’s private for the time being, I’m sure it will return to the front page sidebar as soon as things settle more with the instance itself.
I’m modifier, and until yesterday, reddit was my only social network-ish thing, and where I wasted much of the last 10 years.
My 30s are in my rear view mirror but feel closer than they appear.
I am married to my best friend, I work in travel and travel a lot for work and fun, I am sexually adventurous, intellectually curious, and musically promiscuous.
A number of cats live with me and graciously accept my offerings of food and adoration. When I’m not adoring them, I’m either reading, playing video games, or doing something related to maps or flags, though I’ve found that adoring cats is an activity that stacks well with many other activities.
Henlo, I am Gigagoblin! 30’s, neurospicy, non-binary, queer. Kinda over all the labels, honestly, just trying to exist. I’m very low-energy & social situations make me spill spaghetti everywhere, but it’s easier to connect online! I kinda have huge trouble getting started on things, as well as finishing them & my interests come & go. That said, I’m into writing (poetry & lyrics, mostly), music, movies (especially horror!), cyberpunk, fantasy, spooky things & Digimon. There are manga & anime I enjoy, but I’m not like, obsessed with the mediums. I also enjoy all kinds of gaming, but it’s hard to commit when your brain can suddenly decide The Thing is no longer sparking joy.
Essentially, I’m trying my best in the framework I was given. I know I’ve treated people poorly in the past due to my own pain. It’s easy to take it out on others when you’re miserable & without hope. Thing is though, I’m also a parent to the most wonderful child & I need to be the kind of person she deserves.
It turns out I’m better off without the people I’d been hanging out with for 15 years, but it also means I’m basically friendless at this point. I don’t usually mind the solitude, but sometimes the silence becomes deafening. I guess it’s because it’s no longer really a choice? Anyway, looking forward to chatting with people here! Apologies if I’m immediately coming across as super depressing, I seem to always be “going through some stuff” & I’d rather paint an honest picture of myself!
G’day all, Dalek_Thal here, having walked through a door to a new dimension by doing midichlorians.
Definitely looking forward to what Lemmy brings, my hope is that I’ll get my old subreddits back, given time.
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 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!!! 🍁
I look forward to seeing things you bake. I am the worlds worst baker but joined all the baking related subreddits to live vicariously through others!
If you were on all the baking subreddits you might’ve already seen a bake of mine. I’m not exactly the best with deco (working on it though), but I’m pretty good with flavor and texture—not that those things translate well in a digital medium lol. Either way, hopefully I don’t disappoint. 🍁
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.
Vincent Adultman :-)
Hoy~ I’m not really a refugee from anywhere in particular, I’ve been slowly squeezed out of social spaced for a few years now. I love people, but it’s hard to want to participate when you get shouted down. Hopefully I’ve found a nice place here with y’all, it definitely feels inviting!
I have a lot of labels that can be of various levels of usefulness, but I think if those closest were to to be asked about me “kind” is the first word that would come to mind. I took the “do unto others” thing really seriously, even if I ditched the rest.
I’m queer as the day is long and I partially communicate in memes. Most of my time not gaming, I casually work on my dream game in my head. Just a classic nerd from the 90s.
Howdy! I’m a mid-30s game developer. In a past life (my 20s) I was an astronomer, but academia sucks so I gtfo’d. I like to ride bikes, but I fell out of the habit over the pandemic; just getting back into it now. I enjoy boomer shooters, and indie games. Gay and trans and loving it.
Academia sucks soooo bad, i agree. Had to get out of a dream project because it was too much.
Yeah I was pretty close to finishing a PhD but my life kinda fell apart. No regrets on leaving, other than waiting so long.
I never got a PHD but was really good at my stuff so they hired me for this huge neuroscience project. It was hard to quit, but a little part of me was dying every day I had to deal with deluded megalomaniacs running things they have no idea how to run… life is too short for regrets
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.
Hi! :)
Like so many others, I came from Reddit and I’m gonna stay here. It’s nice.
I’m somewhere between 30 and 40, a writer and full time nerd from Germany, I stream and game, I paint and draw and I have two wonderful cats. I like pen & paper rpgs, games in general (except horror), reading, knitting, crocheting, animals, manga, comics, music and listening to the same song on repeat. Also, I probably forgot something.
Thanks for having me here!
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, my name is meldroc, and I’m a Reddit refugee.
Currently, I work for a brewery doing GIS work - making maps that help sell beer. I’m in my 40s, in the LGBTQIA community, enjoy reading, gaming, retrocomputing, technology, dogs & cats…
