It’s great to see a lot of people subscribing here! I’m Lells, you might know me as Lellela from Reddit, or even oldmansutton from Bay12Games. Welcome all!

I started this magazine because I’m pretty much done rewarding Reddit with content when I don’t agree with their behavior and poor choices. So the idea of a decentralized network is a move back in the direction where we the users have more control. For now, this is a platform I believe in. Trust is earned. I’m guessing most of you agree with some of this since you’re here.

I’m still learning about it with all of you. I never really wanted to be a moderator. But I love Dwarf Fortress with all my heart, and I know there are others of you out there who share that love, so I wanted us to have a space to be welcome and have a community, and share with each other. To help make both the fediverse AND a community within it a reality, I decided to make this magazine. I can’t do this alone, nor do I want to. We’re DF players, we are engineers… we are dwarfs and we are digging a hole! What do we want our community to look like? What information do we want to provide? What rules do we want to have? We ARE a community, so let’s decide together.

Thanks everybody, and strike the earth!

TL;DR - Diggy diggy hole
