So, I never got into Reddit, but occasionally end up there while looking something up. I hear it's now a cesspool with stuff like this.

How are the fedi-alternatives? Should I try out kbin or lemmy? I heard people don't like the guy who makes lemmy. Is kbin the way to go?

For the people who use either of them, what do you like about them? What's a good instance?

Thanks. #Reddit #Alternatives #Fedi #Fediverse #Lemmy #Kbin

Hi! Hawkwinter here.

Been on Calckey.social a couple days but haven't made an intro post yet.

I'm not brand-new to Fedi, but new to Calckey & been really liking it here the past couple days for general social-media-ing {mostly Friendica before, it wasn't bad but I think I like Calckey better}, You can also find me periodically posting art from .art @Hawkwinter

I do 3d character stuff, 2d graphic design and cartography stuff. A bit of 2d character art. Tech/it stuff. Programming. Working on a Visual Novel in Ren'py. I'd like to figure out how to make VRChat and VTuber avatars.

Not currently accepting commissions, but I would probably like to in the future.

I like TTRPGs? Particularly GURPS, & heavily homebrewed D&D3.x with Eclipse. Also Rolemaster 4e. Played other stuff over the years but those ones are my favorites.

Curious about HERO & HARNMaster. If I'm going to Shadowrun I like 4e best by a wide margin. Not a big D&D 5e fan. I have a gripes with its mechanics and setting game design. Super rules-lite games aren't really my thing either as you could guess from my list of favorites - I like the ones where it feels like I'm running around in {or simply running if I'm GM} a simulated world with humanlike NPC behavior {to preempt the question of 'Why not just videogames'}. I'm aware my RPG tastes are niche, & that's okay.

For entertainment, I also like Wuxia, and Xianxia, and the Forgotten Realms, and Tolkien.

I'm interested in sustainable longterm architecture (to last centuries, not decades), science and tech, passive heating and cooling systems, and high-efficiency masonry woodstoves. 'Fancy-offgrid'. Regenerative agriculture and watershed management is neat too.

Like a lot of the people here, I think my worldview has become a bit more collectivist at the societal level rather than hyper-individualist with indifference to the exploitative capitalism we have now, though I don't think violent revolution is a good idea, instead favoring building out collective networks of people that takes care of its members and federates with similar collectives and then can lobby the government also as a collective unit rather than leaving individuals to fend for themselves against the rich and the powerful, is a better way to go. (Something like guilds. Or a labor union not dependent on having a specific job, or like how I've seen Jehovahs Witnesses have their own sub-society of networking and helping eachother out that's not always for-profit).

I occasionally read some philosophy. Nietzsche has a few neat ideas on individual self improvement, but the Tao te Ching has neat ideas on other stuff, like a few ideas on how a functional society would work. I'm not going to pretend to be a well-read philosophy student though.

In addition to regular social-media-ing, Gamedev-type stuff might get posted from here sometimes too, or maybe it'll be a thing to get its own profile? I'm really not sure. Anyway, here's some misc examples of my work in different mediums / styles. The custom ingame menu screenshot is a WIP. I've been doing a good bit of reprogramming and extending things under the hood.

Cheers!
