Reddit refugee from Nebraska. Work in IT, game when i can, and try to learn as much as i can.

Hope you guys are ready for the flood of reddit refugees. I'm an avid paintballer out of Nebraska and fully intend to start the paintball community in these parts. Hit me up if you play, you might see me at a scenario at some point!

St. Louis metro area checking in. Long time Reddit user transitioning away from that site. IT guy. Older but not cantankerous (yet) : ) I like board games, playing and listening to music, hanging with the family, gadgets, Linux, 3D printing, homebrewing, blah blah blah.

Hi there, folks - I'm Scott Starkey, a software developer and part-time magician living in Indiana. I'm not a big fan of the stuff that Reddit is doing, so I thought I'd explore other options.

I'm also available on Mastodon with a bevy of accounts:

• My main account for programming and performing
• My game design account
• My Esperanto account

We seem to be lacking some communities that I'd like to see on Lemmy, specifically #Magic, #Esperanto, #GameDevelopment, and maybe #Freemasonry. Maybe I'll volunteer to set those up, once I figure out all the stuff.

Edit to say, I found an Esperanto forum: [email protected]

I'm pretty much going to echo a lot of the same sentiments. I expect my Reddit usage will plummet when the third party apps are killed so I've gotta waste time somewhere.

I'm a long time, old school nerd. Tabletop games, video games, fantasy books, enough programming know how to make lives difficult, all that kinda thing.

Been rereading some old Spider-Man comics on Marvel unlimited lately. I've probably got a bit of a Tears of the Kingdom addiction going on as well. There's plenty more about me and I'm hoping this will be a fun, new internet home for the immediate future.

Just another in the Reddit exodus. Southern Indiana. I enjoy gaming and programming. In my spare time I enjoy working on anything with an engine. Although since my back went out the most of the work has been light stuff.

I'm new to Lemmy and the Fediverse been here a whole 3 days! I'm usually a lurker but will occasionally comment. Thanks everyone!

Hello from Northern MN! I like memes, gaming and tech stuff!

Former Reddit user who is jumping ship after 13 years, I live in the Twin Cities I’ve been in IT for more than 10 years trying to jump ship to programming interest our programming fanfiction litRPG‘s and audiobooks not necessarily in that order.

Hello! Originally from southeast Oklahoma, currently in southeast Wisconsin. I moved to Wisconsin from Oklahoma a two years ago and I'm really glad to be here. I'm liking Wisconsin so far. Both of my little ones were behind in language skills and education in general. (especially coming out of COVID) and the care and attention they've gotten from our school here in WI is so much better than what we had back home. I myself am an electrical engineer and software programmer. I came here looking for a better job. Most of my friends had already fled OK or would like to soon. I enjoy retro gaming and game console mods. I also recently became a certified ham radio extra class operator.

o/ Chicago native investigating potential alternatives now that 3rd party apps on reddit are getting nuked. Happy to chat, and interested in hearing more :)

Bloomington IN represent!

I also do all sorts of cooking, tech, miniatures, and just having fun!

And also a r/efugee from for-profit social media site...

Former midwesterner, moved out of Columbus, OH with my wife to be closer to her family in PA, so midwest adjacent. Also 100% new to the fediverse (looked it up and explored it just this morning), and loving every corner I've visited so far.

I'm a tech/gaming enthusiast, who works from home, and also happens to live on a 170+ year old 12(ish) acre farmette just outside of Gettysburg, so I will be hunting down the garden and farming posts on here o.o

Howdy. New user from the Chicago suburbs. Mostly lurked on reddit because it felt too big to get meaningfully involved. This seems like a nice change of pace.

Look forward to getting to know you all.

I joined Mastodon a bit ago & loving it, so let's give the Reddit equivalent a spin. Chicagoland here.

I have to admit though it's pretty jarring to see self-professed leftists toss around "refugee" casually.

Hey! Yooper reddit refugee checking in, was pleasantly surprised to find a midwest-focused instance! Hoping there's another yooper on here, there's not too many of us though :)

I do not-so-exciting software development for a property & casualty insurance company, but try to add spice to my life with lots of bike rides, motorsport, and travel. I'm into nerdy tech and financial topics, Scandinavian culture (am Swedish/Finnish American), and F1. Glad to be here!

Hello hello. Redfugee, St Paulite, night shift worker in healthcare, vaguely leftist, spend far too much time thinking about ttrpgs and video games. Popped into Beehaw first, but something about this place really drew in in. Maybe we really are as parochial as they say :D
