It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.

I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.

I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.

And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.

    There used to be a fairly active linguistics community here, but the science-themed instance it was hosted on went dark over a month ago. Hopefully it comes back.

    I can’t imagine there’s not a chess sub here, surely it’s big enough?

    Music wise there are some communities, maybe !obscuremusic@piefed.social fits the bill for now?
