Hello friends!

elw.sdf.org /

Hello everyone! Been an SDF member for many years. I'm an open source contributor and software engineer who's recently decided to cut ties with Reddit. It saddens me in a way because I've been a member there under a number of different names since the early days; I joined pretty soon after the demise of Digg. Unfortunately, the site has been in slow decline for some time now and the recent changes have pushed me to my breaking point. As a contributor to open source software, some of which may be impacted by the announced API changes, I can't continue to use the service in good conscience and have moved my presence over to the SDF Lemmy instance. In addition, I've moved my open source contributions away from alternative Reddit clients and am now focusing my spare time on improving Neon Modem.

I look forward to watching this community grow and interest and adoption in federated and open social platforms continue to expand as more commercial platforms drive people away.
