There has been a steady trickle of new users here today, and in the past little while, mostly due to the bad decisions that reddit is currently making.

    Hi, another Reddit refugee here from Vancouver Island! I’ve had some experience with federated software through Mastodon, but I like Reddit-style forums better.

    My life revolves around finding cool rocks, polishing those cool rocks into neat little shapes, then making silver jewelry out of them. Also DIY/home decorating, plant-based cooking, and playing the same old video games over and over.

        Will do! Right now I’m working through Octopath Traveler 2. My go-to games for mindless downtime are Binding of Isaac and Minecraft, but in general I’m a born and raised Nintendo boy.
