<![CDATA[Hello everyone,]]>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.

Welcome, hope you have fun!

Feel free to ask if you want help with using this place, I'm trying to provide an unofficial support service here 🙂

Still working on searching for hashtags. I have found finding them through what others post easiest.

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!)

I will keep an eye on it for when he grows up.

It's usually on too late for me on the right coast here in Ottawa.

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.

I can understand that.
