I’m excited too, but we should all be chipping in with a little donation to help keep the lights on.

Posting content and comments are good, but a bit of cash to help our new community succeed is critical.

I shall be donating regularly, myself.

This is the way it will go down.

It’s a shame.

I think breaks down to:

• small community of people who want a healthy online community
• a forum by the people and for the people
• insufficient numbers of users to attract entities or individuals who might want to make trouble

Sadly, more success might start undermining what’s making this a nice place. Hopefully it doesn’t, but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you for all the amazing things that you and the other founders have done!!

I only ever lurked on reddit, but here I feel welcome and relaxed enough to actually comment. Heck, I might actually post something somewhere! 😁

When the reddit bombshell dropped, I was sad and resigned to losing something. Beehaw has turned that completely around.

Now, I’m excited to be part of this blossoming community and eagerly look forward to something much better than reddit ever was. You and the others who at the groundwork are fantastic people!

Keep up the great work! I plan to be a part of this amazing thing, doing what I can from my little corner to help out.

Bravo!! 😁👏👏👏

I mostly live in the state of exhaustion, though sometimes I get to visit the land of dreams.

Eventually, I expect to move permanently into the undiscovered country…

…I’m just not sure when.

I’ve always been most keen on understanding how offensive cyber is conducted in order to best defend against it. What programming I do is just to facilitate that.

Are you also interested or involved in cyber security?

Hello to all. I’m yet another reddit refuge. Initially, I was quite bummed at the news about the API price out of the 3rd party apps that had made reddit at all usable. Having discovered Beehaw and Lemmy, I’m becoming quite glad. I’d already abandoned Twitter for Mastadon, but I never quite appreciated that the Fediverse was a thing until the Great Reddit Purge forced me to take a step back and re-evaluate my (digital) life.

I’m now quite glad those bastards are putting the last nail in that particular coffin. I’ve known the Internet from when it was young, and I remember the nettiquette of olde. This place has the feel of those days. It’s nice and refreshing.

I’m an avid computer and cyber security geek with a love of reading, music, programming, sysadmining, teaching, and many other things. It’s great to be here with ya’ll, I’m excited to be part of this great community! :-)
