hey beeple! I didn’t quite know what to title this, I apologize.
feeling a bit insecure about what would be interesting to post about here on beehaw. so, I thought I’d ask, what kind of posts interest you in the communities you’re involved in?
I personally like to learn a lot of things (provided I’m interested in the topic! school was not great for that) and like to learn from other people. for example, I’m recently dipping my toes into linux, and I’ve started doing things with self hosting (also linux…) as well as trying out new video games and such. I don’t have many people to talk about these things with, so I’d like to turn to beehaw for this, but wanted to see if people are generally discouraged by seeing if 1) the same person is posting a lot of topics and 2) that person is a newbie to what they’re posting about most of the time.
I know I can’t “win it all” per se and have everyone enjoy that kind of thing. just wanted to post a general feeling out thread of how people feel I guess? I came from reddit (unfortunately) and am still trying to grasp what a community like this is open to. since my experience on reddit was not great.
I do want to post some other things and get feedback and possibly stir up discussion if that ends up happening! I’m trying to participate hahaha.
as an additional question, somewhat related, but is there a new hobby you’ve recently gotten into?
Ones that are respectful and kind.
I’m sorry that you feel that way. My unsolicited advice would be to engage with the subject matter that interests you the most.
it’s not honestly a beehaw issue, if that helps! I’m just a very anxious and insecure person in general, and I very rarely have engaged in online spaces. beehaw has been the first place I’ve felt safe enough to start trying to, after a series of bad discord servers.
y’all have a lovely place here, and I’m happy to be along for it!
The administrators of Beehaw, my self included, are interested in helping people such as your self. We hope to curate a space online where people feel safe. Especially underprivileged and minority individuals. On the 22nd of this month you will be a one year old Beehaw user and we are happy that you are here.
thank you so much!
I really appreciate the admins for making such a good space. and for you saying that, I really enjoy being here. I’ll be making some new threads soon!
