the big stickied thread is getting cluttered with lots of new people and the “how was your week” thread isn’t a great fit for introductions, so it seems about time to make this a dedicated thread of its own so peoples’ posts aren’t getting lost.

tell us a little bit about yourself, folks. don’t gotta be too specific or revealing, just whatever you want to put out there. this’ll be a good way of getting to know all the people you’re now on here with

    Hello!

    I am a long time reddit lurker, deleted my account over 5 years ago. Still lurked there because of lack of viable alternative.

    Beehaw might be just that.

    I am a KDE/FOSS contributor, Linux gamer and gamedev. The rise in games working on Linux couple years ago lured me to try and I’m now stuck on Linux platforms. :) Perfect for me!

    Also I am Finnish so if there are other Finnish people here: “Terve!”

    Not much else to say really, I don’t want to share my games in my first post but I’ll link them if anyone wants to play them, they’re pay-what-you-want (even nothing) after all.

    Currently working on an open source “doom-clone” FPS written in C, using Raylib library.

    PS. Last time I tried Lemmy I didn’t feel like I fit in due to everyone being so angry all the time. I understand vetting frustrations but it was just anger pretty much all the time. I hope Beehaw is different in that regard. I love the fact that there’s no downvote button!
