This thread is for everyone to introduce themselves. I'll sticky this one

Hi, I'm Jeremy. I made this site last year out of frustration with the comment quality on sites like Reddit, and the anti-crypto rhetoric and lack of "subreddits" on HN. At some point I got tired of complaining about those sites on those sites and figured I'd just make a better version myself.

I'm a software engineer from the U.S (Virginia originally near Washington DC, but moved to NYC after uni). Majored in math in university. Been traveling the world for the last 5 years (47+ countries). I'm writing this from Seoul, South Korea.

I've been a pretty staunch advocate of universal basic income and remote work for about a decade now, ever since I worked my first office job. [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_YMxx095As) I made on wage slavery got 121k views. I think within the next decade AI and automation will wreck havoc on the labor market, leaving governments with no choice but to embrace UBI and stronger safety nets, ultimately resulting in greater freedom and higher quality of life for all.

These days when I post online it's mostly on Twitter ([@jeremybernier](https://twitter.com/jeremybernier)) and occasionally this [crappy Wordpress blog](https://jsavage.xyz/). My personal website is <https://www.jbernier.com/>

I'm ENTP and love debating and discussing controversial topics. My favorite courses in undergrad were the proof heavy math courses and philosophy, and I love applying logic to real world problems.

In my free time I like to play piano (when I have access to one), listen to and make music (there was a phase where I wanted to be an electronic music producer), play soccer, work out, read, write, and occasionally make videos.

Curious to learn about the other visitors here. Also curious to hear your ideas on what it would take to make a better Reddit / HN / Twitter alternative, and how to improve this site.

Introductions

Hi I'm Jeremy. I'm building this site because I'm not satisfied with other online community type websites and their lack of innovation (see the /about page). The goal is to make a superior, more open, and more decentralized online community.

The site is still in early stages in active development (see the dev masterthread here: https://zsync.xyz/p/zsync-dev-update-masterthread)

Join us if this sounds interesting! Feel free to send me any feedback or reach out directly!
