@CarrollMccz look for posts with tags that you are interested in and follow a lot of people. it may take some time to find and build your community.
what old computers are your favorite?
@poppis oo thanks for the tips!
I'm a XP era girlie, so currently putting together a PC to run my favourite old games like Unreal Tournament and such!
@CarrollMccz I don't know if there are any trans folks or people who enjoy tinkering with old computers on Mastodon...
jk, welcome! You've come to the right place.

@CarrollMccz welcome 😁
(I'm more of a crafts tinkerer outside of work, but I enjoy following people who tinker with older tech.)
@CarrollMccz You could d a lot worse than following @FediTips who has lots of excellent info for newcomers.
And a very warm welcome from me.
Hi @CarrollMccz ! You can't say that and leave us hanging - what kind of old computers are you into? :-)
My mother (who I was mildly estranged from) died recently and I found all my old stuff still packed away in her house. I've not had time to go through all the boxes yet, but I have a faint hope my old TRS-80 model 100 is still in there... That thing had a cool form factor! And a workable portable computer was a huge novelty at the time.
Welcome Carroll! 👋

Hiya Carroll, welcome to the fedi. The way the internet ought to be!
I tinker with laptops so we have that to chatter about, 😊
Hi Carroll! Good luck!
