Wobbly for 10 years; new to Lemmy (lemmy.ml)

Hey everyone,

I've been a Wobbly (iu620) for about 10 years. I was active on Reddit until a stranger DM'ed me with personally identifiable info (for me), so I deleted my account, made a new one, and now I don't post there much.

I figured I'd try Lemmy, too. So, hello comrades!
