Hi there. Iowan leftist fleeing the mainstream platforms to help my mental health. Feeling disillusioned with national political action and wanting to focus my attention locally. I’m and avid gardener, war-gamer/mini painter, and forever D&D GM.

Really Don’t know how to introduce myself as an anon. I guess I live in ohio. Won’t say where. I don’t really have any other social media, I think it’s all kinda a psyop now. Flesh simulator has a good youtube video about how reddit is a giant psyop. So i’m barely online. I don’t watch tv, i stay away from chambers of influence. I think Tik Tok purposely pulled a facebook and got Drumpf elected. I am a leftist, F off if you don’t like that.

Hi, it’s just me, and thanks so much for having me. I had to migrate, I couldn’t abide by the sheer onslaught of typical liberal stuff that began coming in avalanches, lately, and I’ve got a lot of unlearning to do as I continue to properly educate myself.

I was a little confused a while back at a post where a user complained of being banned, but his post was extremely misleading, so I apologize for my confusion. That cleared right up when he showed up in DMs talking about how weird our good host is.

I appreciate your patience and helping me learn. I’m a little slow on the uptake sometimes, so I appreciate directness. I’ll get over hurt feelings, if any are caused by it. Thanks again for allowing me.

Was it the post I locked awhile back? Lol.

Probably. The user was extremely disingenuous, the post showed up in my other feed about a week ago. When I saw the photos in the thread later, I got a clue and the DM was just creepy-cultish. The whole thread ended up being that way. Again, I apologize it took me a minute to catch on.

Lol, people are strange. There was a brony who posted about the thread in a fediverse drama community. A different user DM’d me because he didn’t like something I said so I just banned him.

Either way, welcome.

Hello 30 year old central Missourian. Had a Reddit and Imgur account, left Reddit at the last purge of subs and users. Have been using Imgur exclusively since then. Not quite the same, except for it also slowly getting worse as they monetize it. I enjoyed woodworking, blacksmithing, leatherworking, ren-faires (shocker given those previous two), and cooking. Past tense as I now have a 1 year old and there’s no time for anything besides work and parenting a baby/toddler with my spouse. Wasn’t planning to interact much, as agreeing to a popular opinion isn’t helpful and I don’t have time for arguing something pointless, however a post below reminded me that I should, as engagement does help grow this new platform. An attempt will be made.

Hey! Welcome. I understand the first year struggle since I have one of my own. Glad you decided to join and engage. If you want, join us on the Matrix channel. We have a lot of great fun talking there. Also, take we have a fatherverse community that might be fun for you as we all recount things about parenting.
