I'm not exactly a Reddit refugee, since I've been using a variety of decentralized communications systems for a while. I even still make small use of Usenet! That said, now seems like a good time to get signed up on a lemmy instance with my "real" username.

I chose this instance for several reasons. It seems like a solid and sane instance (from my perspective!). It helps keep the load off of the "main" instance (which load would be less if someone put some effort into not making it seem like the obvious place to sign up). Last but not least, hello from Southern Saskatchewan!
