Hey folks, I’m retired and been spending a lot of time on Lemmy, enjoying it quite a bit. I was an electrical engineer professionally.

I was using Reddit for a long time, but much better to get away from that corporate driven environment. That always bothered me a bit with Reddit, but the latest antics over there motivated me to move on.

I’ve actually signed up with a few Lemmy instances at this point. Since first trying the platform a few weeks ago I’ve been on a quest to find the closest fastest instance. Performance seems pretty darn good with this one, 10 hops, 32ms ping and really good server response, best so far. I’ll give it a whirl.
