@depressivehacks

I know it's because 90% of you are bots and this will drop again by next week when more of you are purged, but I just wanted to say thanks. I arrived here early this year as I usually arrive places - anxious, depressed, curious, and stoic. I couldn't figure out how to find people to talk to my first month here. I casted to myself into an abyss. Then, one magical day, I commented that I couldn't get going on here to @dwr on Twitter. He helped me to get off the starting block. I have spent a lot of time here in 2025. In some sense, this place has restored some of my faith in Web3 and why I was attracted to spending so much time in this industry as an outsider to begin with. I still have a lot of work to do before DepressiveHacks achieves what I think it can, but this is the first platform besides Twitter I have hit four figures of followers on. I put a lot of time and effort into social media, both because I like exploring and helping support others, but also because I've never had any money for a marketing budget and it's the only way DepressiveHacks can grow. If you made it this far down the post, thank you for making me feel welcome here. Looking forward to 2026 with you all.
