Hey, there's been a bunch of new users so I figured it might be a good idea to make this thread. Feel free to post your introductions, as well as any links to socials (only if you want to!) such as storygraph, goodreads, or bookwrym etc. I am hopeful to set up a bookwrym instance eventually but its still very much in early early early development.

Also be aware that there are alternative UI front ends, as seen from here. https://literature.cafe/post/315847

I've landed here because I like reading and writing. I've saw somewhere that this would perhaps be the instance to go to find a good writing community.

Upon joining, I quickly noticed a very friendly and supportive environment. A lot of that is springs forth from our benevolent admin who genuinely seems to a very kind and generous person. Case in point? This thread. But I digress.

About me... I have an obsession with writing qua writing. I've recently finished an MA in philosophy, meaning I've been spending a lot of time reading and writing.

I'm a long time Linux user, and I'm passionate about FLOSS. I'm also enthusiastic about the Fediverse. I'm all about freedom, free flow of information, and community building.

My number 1 priority is peaceful coexistence. Whenever I can, I try my best to create harmony between people by mediating conflicts. This is quickly becoming my main craft.

Oh, and I like sewing. Knowing how to sew is like having a super power. Things which didn't exist before come into existence; things ripped apart become new again. Nothing puts my mind in a state of flow as sewing. Speaking of which reminded me that I have something to sew today! So, have fun around here, and enjoy this beautiful place.

Aw thank you! Conflict mediation is an extremely valuable skill to have. I am hopeful this communities gains traction but the only way it can is if we give it a fair try at least!
