Hello everyone!
Been on Reddit for years, but with their recent burst of incredibly poor decision-making, I'm expanding my horizons to new communities. Thanks for the invite to Tildes!
I'm afraid to admit, but I've been around long enough to see how social media has progressed over the years, from places like Digg, Slashdot and Fark, all the way back to Usenet and (dare I say) Fidonet! After the recent hijinks on the part of Reddit, Twitter and the like, I was getting a bit saddened over the state things on the Internet in recent times, but looking around here has raised my hopes a bit on what lies ahead.
As for myself, I'm a 50ish year old IT professional living on the Front Range of Colorado. I've got many interests that keep me busy, including retro-gaming and computers, amateur radio, and I'm also an amateur voice actor. While I enjoy things digital (both old and new), I also have a fascination for the analog as well (fountain pens, pencils, paper... you know, "old-school" tech).
Looking forward to meeting folks here and watching the community grow! It's been a while since I've strayed from mainstream social media, and it's exciting to see the early days of a place like this!
