Trying out Steem

in introduceyourself •  5 years ago 

So I'm still new to this Steem thing, but I wanted to have some kind of a blogging platform, and I figured it would be a good idea to at least try and find one that's not big on censorship like Google and a bunch of other companies seem to be of late.

I did a degree in computer science but I'm struggling to find gainful employment in that field, so lately what I do is independent game development projects and research, which is what I'm planning on using this blog space for, so Godwilling you'll see some cool stuff from me soon. I have something in the pipeline already actually, but I'll leave that as a surprise.

If you'd like you can also follow me on my sole remaining social media platform, Mastodon. At time of writing I operate out of social.linux.pizza @swashberry.
