The old venue may be gone but that doesn't mean we can't build a new one here

Venue doesn't define community, the people do.

There aren't any flairs yet

Ah yes, some good news today as well

Happy to see this community is starting off on the right foot

196 is the apartment of awesome

Share a meme when you're here, it's the rule

Welcome to the party, we've got blajah, memes, LGBTQ+, and no tankies

Honestly to me it seems like the harder these massive Web 2.0 corps push for Web3 and trashing their services for an ever increasing profit margin the more I think that a Web 3.0 won't be Blockchain, but I think it will be something decentralized.

The web is increasingly experienced exclusively through social media and with the building of more decentralized services (and the gaining traction) the more I think a decentralized social media future may be unfolding.

I'm for it, I support FOSS for sure.

When else am I supposed to do dishes?

I'm happy about it, of course I might be a bit biased as I only came over yesterday.

This place is super nice and chill

I'm really digging Beehaw their lqbtq+ space is super welcoming

Us older folk walked so these kids could run

Be you

Firefox for life, I've had it since XP and I ain't ever going to leave it behind

We all are at different points in our journey, be you and be proud.

Of course I'm saying this from my little closet as well, but I've let a few people in my life know and each time I've told people it's only made it less stressful to be me.

My sister says my closet has a glass door, so I may not be hiding it as well as I think.

Someday I'll tell my parents though, someday way in the future preferably.

Join us over in beehaw, it's super chill and welcoming

That'll give me a use for my TrueNAS server that's for sure. It's got 24 cores 200gb of RAM and I basically use it exclusively for a NAS.

Now I just have to look into how to set it up.

I think it looks pretty nice, I think adding the ability to jump to the context of a reply to a comment would be pretty cool as well.

Like seeing the little notification for it in your messages and being able to tap on it to bring you to the context would be nice. I got pretty used to it in BaconReader.

When that music kicks in when you start a game of We Love Katamari or Katamari Damacy

It will always bring me joy

It brings me back to a simpler time of being a kid during summer and picking the game up for the first time with a former friend.

Though that former friend is no longer here, those memories of that summer will be with me hopefully forever.

I had lost those memories (and many many others) a few years back when I had a traumatic brain injury, and last summer when my AC was broken and I caught myself humming a some I didn't remember. And after a bit of working on the song it clicked what it was from. I listened too a few songs from it and booted it up on my old PS2. And that intro music while sitting in front of my TV on the floor, brought me to happy tears as those memories of that summer started to flood back.

I've been using Firefox since the days of Windows XP, I ain't gonna stop now.

Honestly I kinda like how slow things progress around here

I refresh and nothing changed so I go do something else for a little while, it's pretty nice NGL

Likewise, I was beginning to worry that I wouldn't find the new place before the old one got nuked

I'm not gay

I'm a polyamorous biromantic demisexual.

Or just Bi when the normies ask.

I hope a lot of those communities move over this way, I'd hate to lose such welcoming places.

Just because you have to change venue doesn't mean your community has to disappear.

Community is more than a place, it's a feeling, it's a people.

I follow a lot of niche hobby and some other communities that haven't come over yet.

A couple have started to shuffle on over but not a lot yet.

I also followed a lot (like a serious amount) of art subs that haven't seemed to come over yet. I basically followed most of the "imaginary[insert niche here]" subs.
