Hello, it's yet another refugee from the sync for lemmy raft - i dont do much more than lurking and posting about pixel phones

[–] oldmansbeard@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Hello! I am in Chicago and curious to explore Lemmy and shoot the shit :)

[–] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 3 points 4 months ago

Hello all! I'm from the Northern part of the LP of Michigan. A progressive among regressives. I love the outdoors, hiking, and nature watching. I'm a transplant from reddit like most here. I left after I was banned for updoots and refuse to play by their draconian rules. I hope to find many great communities I can be a part of. Still learning this platform, but from what I've seen so far this place is pretty great!

Bonjour, I'm Mak out of the Great Lakes Region. I'm out of NEOhio. I do Anarchist shit from time to time.

Howdy! I’m from the great khanate of Illinois, from the northern suburbs. I’m trying to jump ship from Reddit to escape the enshittification before it continues worsening. I’m a marketer by trade (the devils work, I know), however I’ve got hobbies in politics, light gaming, reading, and film. Big fan of sci-fi and alt-history.

Yo duders, Reddit refugee here like many of you. I reside in northeast Indiana. My hobbies include video games mainly on PC, anime, movies, hiking, and traveling. I'm enjoying being here.

Hi. I'm looking for weird shit in the Internet. I decided to hop on Midwest.social to ease the burden in Lemmy.ml

[–] Two_Hangmen@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago

Hello, I'm in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Even thought most of the state thinks we're basically NYC, it's definitely right wing town. Trying to get away from Reddit and a friend suggested checking out Lemmy.

[–] slestak989@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hi, checking in from Grand Rapids, MI.

Nothing much to say but glad to be here. Been fun learning more about Fediverse.

[–] Thafirton@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hi all! Chicagoland checking in! Originally from rural central IL, moved to Atlanta and spent 12 years in the south, then came home to Chicago in 2016. Happy to be home and glad to find this community!

[–] Chinook@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hello there. Born and raised in Ohio. Been here for about 20 minutes! Very new to Lemmy and the fediverse in general. This seems like a good place. :)

Hey all, small town Illinoisan here. I've been in IT for over a decade, but I'm trying to transition to pretty much anything else at this point.

I'm also a game developer, solo in my free time. Anybody know of any good gamedev communities here?

I have a question about Rule 1. Does this rule apply to posts within the midwest.social or does it prevent browsing and subscribing to NSFW content on other servers?

Checking in from Nebraska and learning how things work.

[–] Entertainer13@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

From WI. Pretty liberal. Big nerd. Reddit and Twitter are turning to garbage. Howdy.

[–] daveydee@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Chicago, Linux, Cubs, Bears. Heyooo

[–] jecxjo@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Been here a little while, originally from Wisco, went to Iowa to go to college and now live in Minnesota. I exclusively dated women from Illinois and took vacations in Michigan. Worked in a Supper Club, and when I drink I kinda sound Canadian. What do I win for being the most Midwest?

[–] Ohio@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cincinnati guy! Live in Northern Ky, work in cinci, eat Skyline. Ohioan at heart. Happy to be here and figure all this shit out!

[–] bosermoki@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Reddit-refugee here. I'm originally from MN. Looking forward to taking part here.

My primary hobby is books/reading as well as gardening. Mostly classics and speculative fiction.

[–] toodles@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Howdy all! I live in the St Louis metro east area. I'm also a reddit transplant and already really digging the community. I'm super excited to be here! I'm into woodworking, making lamps and other crafts. I'm also exploring producing a niche form of EDM music eventually. I'm a fan of general internet research and constantly learning new information.

[–] rubbs@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hello! Akron, OH resident here. Born in IL, lived in WI, raised in IA, live in OH currently. Lovely to be here.

[–] IrateEducator@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hello all, frequenter of the r/cleveland boards. Former dig migrator leaving reddit. It was slow at both at first. What works takes time and looking forward to helping build a new awesome repository of knowledge here!

[–] LaSirena@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hey all! Nebraskan from the lone blue dot in a sea of red.

[–] MCAstro@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Greetings from NW Ohio. Moved to mastodon a while back and have enjoyed that, so looking forward to the fediverse's take on reddit. So far so good!

[–] cleverrefgoeshere@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Suburban Chicago resident. Reddit Refugee.

[–] Nougat@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Kendall County IL, old, cars, motorcycles, Microsoft "stuff." I am willing to help with whatever, if you're in the area and need a hand, let me know.

[–] dBot@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

Hey there from the Minnesota side of the St.Croix Valley. "Build guy" by trade currently dabbling in Splunk and Cribl. Lived in Chicago for a while, but MN is home. Skol Vikes!

[–] slackadelic@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi! I'm @slackadelic as you can tell! I've used this moniker for many years. The root of the nick comes from Slackware Linux many, many moons ago. I'm a father first, a husband second, and a gamer the rest of the time!

I like to play a lot of different games including #TheDivision2, #SeaOfThieves, #Battlefield (4 or 2042, either works for me).

My biggest hobby is streaming! You can always find me on #YouTube under my tag of slackadelicYT (yeah, whomever has my proper moniker never uses their account! ARGH!)

My main concentration right now for gaming is #TheDivision2 right now.

Other things I'm into:

  • Information Technology - This is my primary field of study and have been doing it for many, many years My main concentration is networks and network engineering. I do have a pretty complicated setup at home, comes with the territory!

  • Date nights with my wife! Love hanging out with my lady!

  • Spending time with my kiddos. When they're not fighting each other and making a mess :)

I'm also a proud father to a recent high school graduate! Very, very proud of her!

Anything else, just ask!
