Say Hi and Introduce Yourself!

Hello!

I'm Snips (she/her). In my free time I like to watch tv shows, YouTube video essays, read the newspaper (I like to say I'm an old lady even though I'm in my 20s!), sew my own clothes, make video games. The last one also work related. I compose music. I also like to make fun programming projects! I've recently made a mealplanner app that meals plans our dinners for the week!

There's probably loads more I enjoy! I have loads of hobby's.

I am chronically ill, so I'm home a lot. Not fun! So I'm home a lot.

I've been looking to capture that vibe of older internet and I think Lemmy could be fun. It's hard to find a place as a trans woman, I've found. But this place seems so lovely!

How are you all's days going? Did you drink some water or tea?

I've already made a thread here to gauge how welcoming everyone is, so here's my actual introduction.

I'm Vriska, and I'm trans, 8ut not in the way you expect. Rather than transgender, I am transcharacter. I've always felt nonhuman in some form, have wanted my left eye removed since early childhood (possi8ly 8IID 8ut I'm not currently pursuing a diagnosis) and eventually came to have dysphoria over not 8eing a troll specifically.

A year l8er and I'm well on my way to 8ecoming one for real. My we8site goes over this plan in more detail, and I'm not hesitant to claim the process as equivalent to a sex change. I'm not faking or trying to mock any8ody, and there are real photos of myself on that carrd to prove that I'm genuine.

Furthermore, here's my coming out video and the thread I started a couple days ago discussing nongender trans identities if you wish to refer to that. I hope this can 8e a safe space for me.

Hello everybody, I'm Draconic NEO, some people call me Draconic or NEO. I am Aromantic Asexual, and probably also Agender. I'm into open source and linux and am currently exploring the fediverse.

I joined blahaj.zone to start up some A-spec communties as I felt those are sorely lacking in the Fediverse. I chose this instance because it seems like the best place to host communities like that on the count of it being an LGBTQIA safe-space that doesn't tolerate bigots *glares at lemm.ee* and also having downvotes disabled (useful since lots of bigots will downvote people simply for being openly queer). I initially avoided blahaj.zone since it was less stable in the past (I remember frequent downtimes and image errors) as well as concerns regarding egg_irl, as I have experienced a lot of unpleasant harassment Mostly in DMs from reddit.com/r/egg_irl (Was really nasty and I won't get into it here) however it seems like that isn't an issue here as people here seem very nice.

The communtities I have started are:

• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]

Feel free to join them if you are interested.

Hiii gay people in my phone! Decided to introduce myself here, since I really like the place so far :3

So, nice to meet you, I'm Lilith ^^

I'm 21 and live in Germany. A few months ago my egg cracked, so I use she/her now. At the moment I study physics, but I'm also interested in IT (and cyber security, but I know way less about that than I'd like to), politics and TTRPGs. So far, so cookie-cutter trans girl, right?

Well, the revolution will be won in thigh highs, and if the quickest way to get those is to install Arch, who am I to complain. I initially found this instance through , since I've been lurking on r/196 for a few years now (and breaking the rule numerous times >:3), but I deleted my r*ddit account a good bit ago, and never looked back. I've since discovered the fediverse, and I really like how quaint it is here. Being able to catch up on all posts, and quickly recognizing users is really cool!

Some other random facts about me:

• I've recently got into freediving and just broke four minutes :D
• I'm biromantic, but still figuring out where I sit on the ace/bi spectrum
• I've been doing some organizing and direct action for climate protests for years now, and got arrested by the cops a few times
• In my activism I decided to go vegan, but since then it's not about the climate anymore, I just like animals too much <3
• Lilith isn't actually my name, but I don't want everyone on the internet know my real name :P

Happy to be here, and I'm looking forward to that will become of this place. Decentralized internet is here to stay!

Haiiii :3 I'm Franzia. I was brought to the Blahaj Zone by the Vaush community, [email protected] - the Vaush community on discord has been wildly accepting and helpful so I hope our little Lemmy community can also succeed. My whole life I've been entertained by politics, so it feels natural, but I've recently dipped my toes into direct action. I've actually disliked social media so much that I've rarely used it for my entire life, except discord, which I'm pretty frustrated about using. So I find the movement to remove corporations from social media intriguing! I want to be on not only Lemmy, but as many Fediverse apps as suits my need to shitpost trans memes, vent about life frustrations, and I guess find some sense of community in this deeply lonely world.

I'm a 26 year old trans female living in the US. I've identified as Pansexual since I was a teen. When I was a teen in the skinniest jeans in the school, had medium-length straightened hair that covered at least one eye, and got called the f-slur daily. I'm Pre-HRT, and living with my Mom, in a pretty rural location. Her house has received a ton of messy renovation this year and I'm making myself busy cleaning it up and making the house work alright again. Mom is handicapped and awaiting surgery, pretty soon I won't need to lend her quite as much help. After ten years of sitting at home being a NEET MMO gamer and repressing my female identity, I feel stuck in this situation for another few months. It's too easy to catastrophize, but I'll be living a whole and well-rounded life maybe next year or the year after that. I'm not getting any younger, it's time to stop living so wrong. I'm sort of... dressing loudly day to day, but not trying to 'pass' as female.

My taste in things is so fucked. My favorite music is Gabber, my fashion sense might as well be Clowncore, I'll try anything twice, I prefer my humor deep fried. I watch an ungodly amount of YouTube. I used to be addicted to Twitch.TV and refuse to watch it now, I'm clean. In conversation I like to make a lot of noises, I have a huge vocabulary of silly noises.

I really like this Lemmy instance and these communities, and I relate to so many of you. It's just... fresh air. Like I'm in a meadow full of people who are all noticing the same type of flower and unanimously deciding that this flower is the best one. We have so many similiar quirks, preferences, and stories.
