I feel like I should redo my introduction post. Things have changed a lot since I started this instance, which was started so that I could screw around with IDNs. I was primarily on @npub1gy7m...ww25 and more recently @npub1lmdh...f47c, but I've almost entirely moved off of those (aside from watching their #fedifirehose, since mine sucks).
