hey, flwwhtrbt here! (self.steamdeckpirates)

Hello all!

I just joined back onto Lemmy after only sticking to Mastodon for so long. And of course in my search for Steam Deck communities, I saw this one was in place!

Its interesting seeing how many subscribers there are here (though, sadly how few are active members!)

I suppose this is my round about way of offering my help, I think somewhere I still have a copy of my old guides. At the very least, I wouldn't mind starting up my news posts again.

Mod, reach out if you like. I am very interested in being involved and making this a place to be, in its own right. I'm sure my history on the reddit sub can speak for me - I'm pretty good at that!


Wait, who are you?

I was the mod who brought r/SteamDeckPirates from being around 3K members to 35K during 2024, before I left the sub and Reddit. Flwwhtrbt.

Why did you leave?

It was time, there was one-too-many awful users who dedicates a lot of time to hassling me, and I felt I had done all I needed to do there. More besides, but that's the gist.

How do we know its you?

Reach out to agaric on the reddit sub. He and I are still friends. Or to me, on my Mastodon. The link to which is in the pinned latest news post on the sub I made last week or so.

Why are you here?

IDK. I can share my guides, if I can find them. I do so enjoy compiling news posts, I'd rather enjoy doing that again. Just offering help I suppose!

And one final note:

I did apply twice to dbzer0 for an account, and was denied twice. Which felt...odd, but whatever. So my account is on Lemmy.world

I'm weirdly unable to comment or submit a post to this community on my PC (this is a me problem, its been years since I was on Lemmy - the 3rd Party Protest era - so my inability to navigate is just me being an idiot), but I am via my app. So...who knows what's going on there. I also added what I hope will be considered 'verification' of who I am - on my bio on Mastodon there in the image

Also lovely to see you all!

Welcome and thank you for abandoning Reddit. How do I pronounce your name? Also I may have messaged you on Matrix ๐Ÿค”

Oh yes! You did! Feb 21st, to be precise!!! (I still haven't played Ender Magnolia yet tho!)

My username (on reddit, and subsequently on Mastodon) was flwwhtrbt. Its pretty simple, just 'follow the white rabbit' - my fav scene from The Matrix.

I like the combination of Alice Through the Looking Glass, and someone following me into some dark journey to what you can do, run and eploit on systems :)
