b0rnwithabeard<p>So I guess I should do the <a href="https://aus.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> thing! I’m one of the many people making the recent pour in from the blue bird site. I’ve been having a lot of “but what does this all mean? What am I truly getting out of social media? Is this a gigantic waste of my time?” And kinda unsure about any of the answers, but with the recent shit going on at Twitter I figured now is the time to try something new. A smaller internet experience. Less corporate and celebrity interaction. More meaningful and authentic conversations.</p><p>I work for a large online retail marketplace that shall remain nameless, but you probably know it, and you hopefully have bought things off it. Actually that describes more than one place I’ve worked at. I used to joke with friends that I collect dot coms.</p><p>When I’m not there, i’m usually on my couch playing PS5 - feel free to add me: b0rnwithabeard_ or catching up on tv (She Hulk was amazing. Come at me) and movies (usually horror or stupid comedies) that I never get to see when they first come out because I have two cyclones posing as small kids in my house and I have an amazing and successful wife. Seriously, she’s fuckin rad.</p><p>I also love music. I hate people that say “I love all kinds of music” but I kinda do. I have a number of very carefully curated <a href="https://aus.social/tags/spotify" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spotify</span></a> playlists. </p><p>I current app obsession is playing <a href="https://aus.social/tags/MusicLeague" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MusicLeague</span></a></p><p>As a finale, here’s a photo of me trying to work out this place:</p>
