Okay, now that the anxious first post is out of the way:
1) I'm here from birdsite
2) Yes, I barely know what I'm doing, but
3) This instance's rules seemed good, and I'd like a network that isn't actively eating its own tail. So hi!
@taylorhicklen Hi! Yeah, I agonised for about a day before deciding whether or not to post at all. Now I have committed to ditching my "lurker" status that manifested in other sites and I am actually having a good time!
@ljpg I had a false start on another instance yesterday, but now I've got the phone client set up and everything. As a non-CS person this feels very much like birdsite-circa-2010 was (in a good way).
And this 500 character limit is downright luxurious. I keep reflexively checking my characters even though I still have so many to go!
