Hello from Canada's Pants!
I'm a reddit refugee. I signed up at Beehow first, but after looking around, saw some of you fine folks from here showing up over there. Beehow seems nice, but even though I have no connection to it, I have always had an affinity for Canada, so I looked around over here and decided to make this my home. :) Although I'm thinking of setting up my own instance, too.
One of the reasons I thought I might be happier over here is that while Beehaw seems pretty neutral, my politics are not, so I figure in the long run, I probably share more in common with folks here than there.
I was on reddit since 2009 when I had my 15 minutes of fame and folks there invited me to do an AMA. I was a default mod for a while. I deleted /u/daychilde trying to escape reddit. Failed, went back, moderated some more. Left again, went back. I only mod my local city's subreddit now, and basically I'm done with reddit. Lemmy and tildes are replacements for me, and so far I'm liking them both!
I hope you will forgive me for being American and let me hang out with you fine folks :)
Wouldn't it be a province of mind? :)
