The Grandest and Plannedest

How does someone even start a blog, anyway? There's usually grand introductions that get buried and then they cover a topic they're really autistic about for a few posts before abandoning the blog, or they post a bunch of memes and embarrass themselves talking about their life. I'm pretty careful about keeping my life between me and my trusted elite, but then I realized, how the hell are strangers supposed to know me? Small talk clearly doesn't work, and people clearly see me and admire me from the glimpses they get when I deign to be in public with my friends. So I thought, yeah I should have a blog probably I have Big Thoughts now and again. I've agonized a long time over where to put a blog, too. I don't want to suffer a purge like The Great Porn Ban of Tumblr or simply disappear into the abyss like Twitter will one of these days. I ended up deciding it should be mine, under my control, and everyone else gets the watered down copy of it.

So, I'm fin600, I want to rule a world.

Notice the a there. It's a world I want to make. A world with a website (check), a minecraft server (mostly ready), a vr map (maybe VRChat, maybe Overte, maybe both?), a chat client (mattermost+jitsi, eventually), a tabletop, and eventually more. I want to own the services I use. I want to rewild the internet. I want to escape the siloing of my life. I want to live in VR and AR. I want to escape censorship. I want my private things to be private. I want my data to be mine. I want to make my own space where others feel safe to play with and befriend others. I want to live comfortably with all my internet friends. My dreams are small, but they are doable, and each day I'm getting closer to accomplishing them.

So, welcome to slime.place, it's mine and I'll never let it go.

That said I uh, don't have any background or experience with any of the skills to pull this off. I've been learning as I go and breaking things. I also want to eventually get better internet so I can be a part-time vtuber and enjoy chatting with strangers in a controlled setting while introducing my little world to a greater audience. Probably the only thing I do have the skills for is setting everything up for vtubing. I doubt anyone wants to see a crusty 480p or worse stream right now, or maybe you guys do. You should use the new comment box to tell me so.

I dunno if I have anything else worth writing right now. I could probably put most of what an introduction is on an About page instead, so I'll get to work on that. Hopefully this tiny website in the middle of the algorithm ocean will grow big and strong.
