Back when I started this site around 2020 it was pretty much just me here. Most of the time the new user applications were from ultra lazy spammers peddling penis pills. I realized that all of you have been writing introductions but you don’t know much about me so here is somewhat of an introduction.

I’m just a regular guy in the Cleveland, Ohio area who works in tech. I have 3 cats. My hobbies are tech stuff, shooting/guns, gardening, lifting, and to a smaller degree talking about leftist politics. I run this instance as well as I can on my own. Sometimes the site will go down or be slow but you can rest assured that I’m most likely aware of it when that happens. I monitor this site pretty closely.

It definitely feels weird (in a good but anxiety inducing way) to see so many people using the server I set up. Before the influx it didn’t matter if the site was down for an hour or two while I worked out a deployment issue but that’s not the case anymore. I would like to bring more sys admins on board eventually so if you’re interested feel free to reach out.

Glad you’re all here!

    Columbus here! Went to school at UC and also work in the tech space. Wish I knew about the Midwest instance before I signed up for lemmy.world.

    Found a Columbus community here on Lemmy world, not sure if there are any others: https://lemmy.world/c/columbus

    Also if anyone has any leads on web dev jobs, reach out! Not quite enjoying my current job.
