I'm new here, though not to geminispace - you can find me elsewhere, under the same name.
I've also recently got back into creating websites and journalling like it's the late 90s again.
Having spent most of the last two decades in the deeply unfulfilling social-media focused online spaces, taking the defaults offered to me, I'm working on spreading myself thin: posting on social media I don't hate (right now: mastodon, cohost), writing on my website and in geminispace, making physical things and mailing them to strangers, and otherwise generally trying to improve the online experience by participating in the kinds of experiences I wish I'd had during the years of FB and Twitter and Reddit.
I'm a poet. I can write some code. But none of this is particularly important: I'm here for the people and the connections and what we can create between all of us. I'm tired of consuming. I'm tired of scrolling. What're the next twenty years going to look like? Let's f'n go.
hey ~winter. yeah I know what you mean and I'm here for similar reasons. looking forward to getting to know people here...
Welcome to the pub, ~winter. I very much felt you on "taking the defaults offered to me". What sorts of physical things are you making?
