How do you engage with DU?

25. I'm a semi-newbie here (3-4 wks) but not a newbie to....

...to politics or the Internet.

I'd call myself very liberal progressive. Maybe a touch of Leftism. I'm in general proud to call myself a Democrat.
I'd call myself a semi-activist from the time I was ?15. I'm 67 now.

I remember seeing DU back in the early 00's. While I've been on the Internet since '95 it's not been from home till now - free or paid elsewhere. I've finally have wifi on my first smart phone vs basic cellphones previously. I got it just as NYC was locking down. I figured I'd need more connection under these circumstances.

I've been on a band fan site for a looong time that has a polititical off topic forum. The band itself is liberal plus and has activist history. So a polititical forum is a natural!

But between being mostly ensconced at home due to covid19, and while listening to NPR and WNYC-AM/FM Local Public Radio for decades, there's often not enough posting on that forum with all the increased craziness this past year.

Then I remembered DU.
Were you still around, and 'ta da' yes you were/are!

So I either go to General Discussions, or Latest News first. Then DU Lounge for some fun. I'm trying to check videos, articles, too, now.
There's lots of history, sciences, art and stuff I've seen and want to read too.

I'm so glad you've lasted so long, and that I remembered you!
