Realized that I haven't done my "introduction" post yet!
I was a late joiner of Reddit since my need for memes were being fulfilled by other meme aggregators, what really convinced me to join my first message board was that I realized it could be a space to geek out about technology and anime, and see what other people are discussing in those communities.
When I saw the type of space it was becoming, I realized that if communities want to exist, they not only must be moderated by their communities like with Reddit, but owned by them too! Then I learned about the Fediverse, and felt it made much more sense from a sustainability standpoint in that regard, and decided to hop on this train to awesome!
I was really excited to see that this instance is pretty devoted to tech enthusiasts and makers of all kinds, so thanks for having me!
I'm particularly into programming language design, and my favorites are Ada and Raku, despite being a relatively young programmer (cue the ensuing "hipster" jabs), just because they offer features that are truly helpful in intuitive ways for their respective use-cases.
