Hello everyone,
I am happy to be joining the Fediverse. I have been feeling a need to find some social network to enjoy after recent setbacks around British Columbia and other parts of Canada. I popped around BlueSky for a bit, but it had the wrong feel.
For myself, I am a father of one cute autistic child and a teacher. Currently located near Vancouver, but I have lived over a wide part of British Columbia and Alberta.
I generally find myself hopping between different hobbies, but consistently find myself dabbling with computers, watching movies (especially bad horror movies), enjoying anime with my wife, writing bad fiction, and gaming. I have a soft spot for TTRPGs, but don't have much time anymore.
@MrYamatani Welcome to literally the best place on the internet

@Dianora Reasonable question and honestly don't remember the logic behind it. Then again, I never thought of myself as really logical, but I try my best.
@MrYamatani One of the founders of Twittler before it was sold to become Twittler was involved in BlueSky which would be a logical reason to think BlueSky would be like the older Twitter. I can understand that.

@lackattack Why thank you.

@Dianora I remember hearing that. I think my switch over was more due to a few friends from university making the switch. How many stayed? I don't know. I remember the engagement being better than Facebook. My stint of time if Twitter can be counted in days...
I found the Fediverse after hearing it mentioned on a few Linux podcasts I listen to and am enjoying it so far.

@MrYamatani Hello from Edmonton
@marewrites Why thank you. I like Edmonton. Not just an excellent mall, but hosts a good air show (or used to).

@MrYamatani You like bad horror movies? You may be interested in checking out the #Monsterdon hashtag.
Also, @FediTips is a handy guide for new folks!

@MrYamatani Oh I just remembered, If you love bad horror movies it is possible #Monsterdon might interest. It's usually on too late for me on the right coast here in Ottawa.

@Dianora It does look interesting, but my little one is only 6 and still scared of most Disney movie scary scenes. I will keep an eye on it for when he grows up.

@MrYamatani welcome! Sounds like you should plan a Brussels to visit BIFF once!

@Squig The only BIFF that I know is the Burrard Inlet Fan Fellowship. Is there another?

@MrYamatani Welcome. I hope you love it here.
If your child is old enough for social media and interested in joining in here, too, or if you want to read stuff from adults with autism, # ActuallyAutistic might be a good hashtag for you.
(Just remove the space between the pound sign and the words there!)

@TorontoLydia thank you for the suggestion. Still working on searching for hashtags. I have found finding them through what others post easiest.
