dial-up sounds intensifies
Evenin'. I'm doing alright, aside from being tired of all the chaos that's happened these past three months.
I'm one of the many people coming to Lemmy from Reddit. I made a Mastodon account back when Twitter went to shit (kolektiva, to be precise), so I figured I may as well make one for here.
First post! I'm in Minnesota. I'm too old to understand the federated stuff very well and am having a confusing learning curve here and on Mastodon. I just know it's time to get away from social media with shareholders attached, so here I am. Every day is some new horror, but also every day, here I am, trying to learn something new.

First post here. Thanks for showing me the way.
Welcome!
if you don't see a community you are looking for, create it.
Hello from Madison, new people 👋 I've been trying to figure out the most effective activism with my group's limited resources.
Made the jump here because theres a lot of doom and gloom on reddit... nice seeing people here being active in their community outside of the online space. Ive already seen organizing/mutual aid work happening on here. Cant wait to explore more, thanks for having me
Since this place has midwest in the name, and the main mod is from Ohio, I'm gonna roll some dice here. If you happen to be anywhere near northeast Ohio, There's a group in Cuyahoga Falls called "Meaningful Conversations Akron" that can be found on FB and meets every Saturday morning at 9:30 AM. They leverage principles of interfaith spirituality to stay focused on the sort of unity which is necessary as a goal in order to even begin winding down the division that dragged us here.
The old stickied post suggested going out and making friends in person. That effort is how I found that group. It's been really good for me.
I'm glad you found some people. If you're in the Akron area and are interested in doing some community outreach with other like minded people you should look into Serve The People Akron.
Oh, did you open up to new accounts again? People told me it was closed a couple of months ago.
It was for a couple weeks
Hmm, just bad timing then.
Not bad
I've been enjoying it here! Much less toxicity and restrictions in comparison to reddit. I've been able to find a ton of communities I'll participate in. I look forward to using this platform a lot going forward.
Glad to see all the new signups. What's going on y'all?
I'm freely up voting things without repercussion. weeeeeeeeeeee
I'm new here. What's up with the frequent use of the word "rule" in post titles?
The rules for the various 196 communities state that if you interact with the community, you have to post a meme, or at least something before you "leave." Shoehorning "rule" into the title is a high-effort way to indicate a low-effort post. Such is the mystery of 196.
Before Blaze shows up to funnel people to his 196 sub, all 196 communities are inclusive and people should contribute to whichever ones they feel welcome in.
Don't let users identifying as sonic characters bully you into exclusively using the spaces they contol.
Urban Dictionary to the rescue. Appearently this community has one rule: post something before you leave. The easiest headline is 'Rule', like in 'post because of THE rule'.
That's a 196 thing I believe
Trying by best up in Michigan
The husband's from there; great state! Though I love all the Midwest, honestly.
Finally armed up and got an AR-15, got a lower receiver from KE Arms and an upper off the shelf from my local gun store, haven't gotten a chance to go to shoot it yet but it's gonna be a fun day when I do!
Sweet! I'm new to owning an AR too. Recent events tipped me in favor of owning. I have a good amount of military experience though so the platform isn't new. You should have a good time learning how to effectively use it. Just make sure you learn it. Be safe friend!
Hell yeah!
I'm ok. Shit is rough out there right now.
Truckin' along the best i can.
