MODERATORS
Hey! Nice to see you again! I can't speak for the Artificer up there, but I started on .world, found my main spot in SFFA because it leans into my interests, but I kept seeing blahaj posts everywhere and generally do like the vibe. I've got an account on this instance because I have accounts on a lot of them and just hop around when I exhaust the new stuff in one of them (And kinda of because I still don't fully understand the fediverse. I'm not super technically minded). I don't curate my feed, I just keep it on All to give me a wide net for interesting stuff to read in the mornings.
I've spoken about this before, I'm a gender abolitionist, but I know that society isn't there. That means that some groups need the support that society at large doesn't give, so I try to speak up and help out where I can in my limited scope. In general, I think everyone should have the support they need in life to be happy. And I want people to be happy, so I do what I can and speak up when I can. And blahaj.zone just seems like an overall good place with nice people mostly just trying to have some fun and support each other. It's a great and wholesome support network here and it makes me happy it exists.
