I actually joined in Dec 23. I took a break in September, deleted all my posts and lurked for a few months. Im sure there are relays out there filled with my spam. I was here, just not participating. I don't do well around elections. 😆

I tried mastadon and bluesky and hated them both. I found more like-minded people here than I'd ever experienced before. Although, to be fair, I'm sure those people exist other places. I just wasn't seeing them on legacy socials because of the algos.
