@NIGHTEN@hi.nighten.fr

I’ve been on fedi for 3 years, so I’m taking the opportunity of #PortfolioDay to make a proper #introduction !

My name is Nighten and I love to draw very detailed illustration about city and nature. Most of my artworks are set in the same continuity and universe, see if you can spot the link between them!

Most importantly, I publish a weekly art newsletter where I dive deep into my art, project and inspiration. I think it’s very good so feel free to join and read the archive! :)

(You even get free coloring pages by subscribing!)

And thank you if you decide to follow me! I hope my art will bring you joy 🌸

Hello Mastodon. I'm building Dashmox, a hosting control panel for Linux.

It came out of paying more every time I added a website. Per account, per domain, per server. A site costs nothing to run, so this one counts nothing, on any plan including the free one.

Nginx, Postfix, Dovecot, PowerDNS, MariaDB on your own box. Panel and agent idle at about 27MB.

Commercial, closed source. Free tier live tomorrow, no card, no account.

First post! I'm moving off Meta and all corporate-owned sites and looking forward to actually getting to see the things that people post instead of being force-fed by algorithms.

I'm an indie writer, a watercolorist, an amateur photographer, a sewist, a crafty person and generally ADHD so who knows what I'll end up posting here. Just looking forward to seeing what everyone shares.

Bonjour tout le monde 🌴

@nyandzette m'a dit que les gens ici étaient sympa, alors je débarque à mon tour 🪩

Je suis japonais, mais j'habite en France depuis une vingtaine d'années, actuellement sur . Je m'intéresse particulièrement à l'art sous toutes ses formes.

De mon côté, je fais notamment de la photographie en amateur (avec un Ricoh GR IIIx). J'aime découvrir le charme caché des gens et des choses à travers un objectif.

À l'occasion, je fais aussi de la musique et des blagues nulles 🤪

Ça me fait plaisir d'être ici !

@0x464F58@mastodon.ml

Well, hi everyone :neofox_uwu:

This is my post. I'm Niko, and I post mainly in Russian though I may interact with posts in English as well. These are the two languages that I understand to some extent.

I am a furry, I do IT stuff. I'm also an immigrant to Canada and this summer I became a parent. I'm also a self-diagnosed autistic, which I guess makes sense, and I have way too many fursonas. I guess I consider myself to be a plural median system, but it doesn't show as much in day-to-day life.

You may have known me by other names, including Object Required, River, Skogsduva, Twinke, и Собака Сутулая. Hii :3 And sorry that I've disappeared multiple times.

@hebikanium@blorbo.social

A proper(?) intro may come in handy

Hi! My name's Hebikan (or just Hebi, to make it less awkward). I'm he/him and got a bit of the 'tism, which makes me have a lot of trouble socializing without being awkard, but I try my best :P

I like to think I'm an artist, my work consisting mostly on pieces about my hyperfixations, the main one currently being Brawl Stars, so expect to see a lot of that here. I also like to occassionally make art about my own original stuff (which hopefully isn't too much of an issue here).

Other games I love are Mario Kart (and basically all Mario games), Splatoon, Patapon, Skullgirls, Psychonauts and sometimes a bit of Klondike.

I'm also into consumer tech, religion & mythology (from a non-religious perspective) and music, mostly metal, rock, techno and house, with a bit of dubstep, jazz and folkloric sprinkled here and there.

I also like anime & manga, although I admittedly don't consume it as much as I used to. My favourites are One Piece, Attack on Titan, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Steins;Gate, currently reading OP (up to date) and I *should* get back to watching Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, but who knows when I will actually get to do it.

Hopefully I can one day get my own website to properly showcase my art and ramblings, but for now my online existence relies exclusively on social media for better or (very likely) worse. You can check them with the link in my bio, if you want :p

I think that's all for now, thank you and I hope we can get along well! (Also take a look at some my drawings)

Edit: Forgot to add the tag :p

Illustration of my sona in both of his forms, one of which is a giant snake-like creature with big arms, wearing yellow-tinted round sunglasses, a white t-shirt with a red strip in the middle and dark gray haori on top of it. This giant creature barely fits in the picture frame, which is signaled by him pressing againts the top and right sides with his hands. In the middle of the coil formed by his tail, lies his second form, which is a much smaller humanoid wearing the same clothes, except the haori has a hoodie which completely obscures his head. He also wears bandages around his arms.

From left to right: El Primo is about to throw up because he can't stand it anymore at a "mere" 23 dogs, as signaled by a sign held by Amber behind him. Next, Jacky jumps over the table in a victorious attitude as her count shows 81 and still has 3 dogs on her mouth. Carl cheers on her while holding to the sign that shows her count. Next, Doug, who serves as the event''s presenter,  points excitedly at Jacky while behind him, Nita looks mad that she's somehow losing at 52 dogs.

Illustration of Brawl Star's Alli, very ripped and sweating a lot after training. She's wearing a white sports bra with orange stripes, pink wrist bands and her regular purple jacket around her waist. She tries to wipe off the sweat from her forehead with one hand while slightly pulling away the neckline of her bra with the other to let a little bit of air on her chest. On the left top corner of the picture, there's a small screenshot of Ferb from Phineas & Ferb, looking very muscled up and with a caption that says "Viva Cristo rey" (Spanish for "Praise Christ King"), which is a common meme in Spanish-speaking communities to be used in conjunction of pictures of characters or people with very defined muscles

hello fedi, it's time for a new introduction post
i totally didnt forget to make one when i moved to a new username like 7 months ago, what are you talking about

i'm broto!!! i'm very much brazilian btw 🇧🇷
pronouns are he/him/goblin and i'm green for an awesome reason
you can probably tell that my english was learned on ao3 and tumblr, sorry bout that
de vez em quando temos posts em português, geralmente feitos com muita raiva

some of the stuff i like, in no specific order:
movies and games, the color green, crochet, vampires, piracy, coffee, sticker bombing, sunny windy days, horror stories, nature, doodling, aliens, reading fanfic in public, art and fashion history, gigi murin, tiramisu, frogs and bunnies, clean bedsheets, my gay ass boyfriend, journaling, mcr
if you want some more specifics on the type of media i like, i've made a REALLY LONG list at my website: https://broto.solar/about
TLDR: indie games, specially roguelikes, platformers, rhythm games, and puzzles, movies of all types but specially horror, sci-fi, action and pretentious stuff. i watch anime, cartoons and tv series occasionally. i'm still really into homestuck, tho i never read beyond canon.

some of my current activities, as of september 2026:
working as a freelance video editor for indie vtubers, taking care and growing my really cool website, trying to play more short games from my backlog but getting distracted by roguelikes, tagging music that i download, logging the stuff that i watch, learning to play fighting games, learning how to knit, learning javascript/typescript to use with astro, playing daily nonograms to keep myself sharp, journaling, trying out linux (im partially on pop os), starting to blog, doing digital art and startint on pixel art, watching a lot of movies

what am i doing on fedi?
im gonna be honest, i came to wafrn because of the PDS lmao it connecting to fedi was just a plus.
a lot changed since that and i realized there's a lot on this side of the federated webs that i like. with wafrn finally allowing me to separate fedi posts from bluesky posts, i'm here smoke signaling that i need more fedi people to follow!!!

i'm cool, i promise!! i'm also very silly sometimes :33

so, i'm more likely to want to be moots if at least 2 of those are true:

  • youre an artist of any kind
  • you post a lot about your hobbies
  • you fandom post about things im slightly interest in
  • you like interacting in replies!!
  • you keep a personal website of any kind
  • youre not doomposting 24/7
  • você for brasileiro :p

how many typos did i miss this time? oopsie
questions? comments? wanna be moots?

👋 Hello, I'm Hegeezias. I typically make abstract art in very tedious ways using traditional mediums.

I tend to just post my art on these sort of platforms, so follow if you're interested in getting the occasional pretty picture in your timeline.

I also stream my art sessions live every now and then on Twitch and my Owncast instance. Would be great if you stopped by sometime.

Find me here: hegeezias.link/

An abstract black-and-white digital artwork depicting a circular pattern filled with angular, branching lines that radiate outward from the center. The intricate design resembles a network of interconnected pathways or a stylized root system, rendered in stark white against a solid black background. The sharp lines and geometric forms create a sense of structure and complexity within the circular frame.

Hi, I’m David. I’m a middle school math teacher in the south. You’ll usually find me tinkering with some kind of computer problem, playing role-playing games and board games, and catching British comedy panel shows. I'm kind of an odd ball all around and I never quite fit in whatever box anyone tries to put me in. I have a pug dog that is my faithful companion, he's getting old like his dad is, we're both going grey.

Hi! ZanaGB here. We have been hopping around thru the fediverse since 2022 but we've been around the net for over 2 decades now (crikey).

We are a system composed of a small assortment of bunny adjacent critters that enjoy bunnies, retrocomputing, graphics engineering, drawing, photography, rabbits, music/synths, aeronautics, space, videogames and lagomorphs (and lagomorphs in videogames!)

We mainly draw stuff, take photographs of things, work on small chiptunes and do some high level development and web-master stuffs.

Currently trying to develop a little game but stuck on the initial phases of making tooling and subsystems to do stuff, otherwise also trying to abandon the rut of solely doing cover work and trying to make our own melodies.

We have been previously known for our furry artwork, specially of the tg/tf kind, our pixel art, and our demoscene work. Most notably things like Faux Processing, Visual Novel Heart, and Amazing Facts About Bunnies. Here on the fediverse we are probably best known for our bunposting and various aircraft musings.

Otherwise ... That is probably it! We dont know what makes an intro any good so here is hop.

I've been around on the Fedi since 2023, self-hosting different instances as a single user, and now back on Mastodon. I'm going to be posting random weird art, cartoon memes, and elaborate doodles - alongside grumbling about AI and the horrendous state of the world right now.

@raffomania@merveilles.town

Hi everyone :) I'm Rafael.

Despite the way computers are, I still enjoy using them, to make art and to help others.

For the former I recently got a pen plotter and am already excited for the plotter postcard exchange :) also I enjoy making video games (with godot) and music (currently strudel).

Helping others through software is super fulfilling to me. I'm building a fediverse link sharing software called "ties", the vision is to have a collaborative online library, organizing the knowledge of the open web. I also develop a build automation service for arch linux.
In both projects I'm currently learning to navigate the social challenges. It's fascinating how the culture and communication around a project shapes what people can achieve with it.

I'm easily excited by many things and open to chat - looking forward to meeting all of you!

Et j'arrive avec un petit cadeau de bienvenue : le processus de création d'une de mes toutes dernières illustrations (garantie sans IA) 😇

(J'ai enfin trouvé la fonctionnalité grâce à une vidéo de @davidrevoy)

Enjoy !

Processus de création d'une illustration de magicienne agenouillée chez elle en train d'invoquer sa magie de sa main gauche. Dans sa main droite elle tient une clochette. Son chat noir s'étire à côté d'elle. En arrière plan, on peut voir trois fenêtres aux rideaux orangés, un meuble en bois sur lequel est posée une bouteille, un guéridon surmonté d'une bougie allumée et une plante verte posée au sol. Dehors il fait nuit noire. Une lumière semble venir de la droite de la pièce. La magicienne la regarde intensément.

Hey gang. My name is Michael. Finally decided to take the plunge into the whole fediverse thing. I tend to lurk on most social media that I'm ever on, so we'll see if I end up actually posting anything here.

I'm an undergrad student, with interest in ethics and political philosophy.

I'm a non-technical Linux user (not a coder or anything), I like 3d printing, and would like to try my hand at some electronics at some point.

Also of 10 years, which is fun

@thePluff@mastodon.social

Hi, I'm Nat. I draw silly, little comics about my life and things I find important. I'd like to give the Fediverse a try because I'm tired of fighting predatory social media, algorithms, and poop-faces of tech bros.

Let's hang out and be nice to each other. :BlobhajReach:

New instance, my second one ever, new #Introduction time! (Or rather, reintroduction. Adapted from my old introduction.)


Hi, I'm NerdNextDoor! I'm Scottish and on the autism spectrum which was diagnosed in 2021. I'm left-wing as well and an LGBTQIA+ ally. I just moved from mastodon.social to social.bear-den.org if you're a little confused about why you're seeing this elsewhere.

I originally joined Fedi on July 13th 2023 on Mastodon, this is my first time using GoToSocial as my main Fedi server other than when I set up and used the @projectanchorage account. This will be fun!

I do lots of things like music, programming (usually low-level stuff), blogging at nerdnextdoor.net, other technical stuff and I contribute to other software on the interwebs.

I also run projects such as #EVi, #CoffeeBSD, Inori and plenty of other things.

I might have dropped around 176 followers in the move to Bear-Den from Mastodon so if you followed me before this and you aren't following me here, would you mind re-following me? Thanks in advance!

You can reach me at here at this account, on Matrix at @nerdnextdoor:matrix.org, OFTC's IRC/Matrix bridge at "NerdNextDoor" (usually I hang out at #evi or #coffeebsd) and the Starlight Network's IRC also as "NerdNextDoor".

Thanks! Please #Boost this post so more people know where I went! :D

@frincon@sciences.re

Hello fediverse,

I am an interdisciplinary theoretical and numerical physicist working at and newly affiliated with the SETE in Moulis, Ariège, France, a cutting-edge experimental and theoretical ecology lab researching the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on biodiversity and ecosystems.

For 20+ years before, I was an astrophysicist working at the large Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planétologie IRAP in Toulouse .

In 2023, deeply concerned by the ongoing global crises, I decided to initiate a gradual shift of my research in theoretical and numerical astrophysics (from the Sun to cosmological scales) , plasma physics and fluid dynamics at IRAP to research on the impacts of global anthropogenic changes on ecosystem dynamics and biodiversity.

I tell the ongoing story of this academic transition and related ethical research musings in a blog, "Looking up".

I am still in the process of building the foundations of my research in ecology, oriented on the theoretical and numerical modelling of ecosystem dynamics in space and time, and how they may shift through sudden bifurcations or more gradual erosion under anthropogenic pressures, with the long-term goal of informing their conservation and restoration. In parallel, I am due to take on a leadership role at SETE in a few months.

While I already had an account on mastodon and even before that on twitter mixing my personal and scientist life, from now on this will be my main academic account talking about environmental science and research policy in an official capacity, while the other will become private and strictly personal.

I may still post the occasional and of here to pimp this new TL though 😎

RTs welcome if you support science that sincerely and modestly attempts to make sense and a small positive difference for the natural world

@birming@social.lol

I'm back at social.lol and thought it was a good opportunity to post a proper .

I'm Robert (he/him), and I live in Stockholm, Sweden.

Since 2017, I've worked as a home inspector. It's a job I love for many reasons, the main ones being the luxury of meeting people and seeing places I would never have encountered otherwise.

I've been blogging since 2002 and am still trying to figure out how to do it right. My current blog, robertbirming.com, has somehow managed to stay alive since 2023.

I also love tinkering with CSS themes and creating small tools for the indie web. It's just a hobby, but a satisfying one. Maybe that's the thing, it's satisfying because it's not work.

When I'm not hanging around in dark crawl spaces or getting hung up on dark mode contrast drift, I like snapping photos, reading books, and watching movies.

Some favorites of mine:

- Siddhartha (book)
- Highwayman (song)
- Interstellar (movie)

Tack och hej, leverpastej!

@domo@vegan.pizza.enby.city

Hoi, I'm Domo!

This is my new account (I am migrating from mastodon to gotosocial). My old account was @domo)

You can follow (or filter) specific tags to get (or not get) specific content from me:

  • #domo_art - my artwork (sometimes with CW: nudity)

  • #BG3 - Baldur's Gate 3

  • #tamagotchi, virtualPet, digitalPet - digital pets/digital idle toys when I am running them. I mostly use this when new color screen Tamagotchis release (but also sumiko gurashi toys and sometimes other weird ones you didn't know existed).

  • #trans, #transmasc - trans messaging

  • #bats - cute bats

  • #fashion - cute fashion stuff and vicious fashion opinions, very petty

  • #vegan - both food reviews/recipes/pics and general vegan musings

  • #sewing - I sew a lot of cute patches on things

  • #AmsterdamPublicComment - photography of street art in Amsterdam

Outside of that stuff, I also love queer comic books, and cartoons (Steven Universe, Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts, Infinity Train, Dead End Paranormal Park, Craig of the Creek, The Owl House, and more). I do reviews of TV/movies, and comics/graphic novels under #domo_reviews.

I frequently post about US/NL/EU/PS politics, and if it's negative, I add a CW (uspol, nlpol, eupol, pspol, genocide, etc). I hate fascists (and their friends - I don't like nazi bars.)

I also hate cars and nonrenewable energy, just to weed out some other people. I also don't like nuclear. I prefer wind and solar energy. We still need to talk about the mining industry and it's exploitation of the global south behind the materials used in solar panels, batteries, and electronic components.

Love trains (especially gimmicky trains) and believe they, as well as healthcare, housing, education, and the arts should be free (paid for by the state).

If I ever miss a CW you need or forget alt text, you are absolutely welcome to call me out privately or publicly - even if it's a boost - and I'll be sure to add whatever you need.

Please also feel free to call me out for any discrimination or microaggressions should I ever misstep. Don't worry about your tone; please just let me know in whatever way you have spoons for.

If you don't use CWs on your own posts for graphic or porn images, I will likely not follow you back, because I browse this account in public. We'll also mark your account as sensitive on this instance so other users get a warning as well.

If you don't use CWs for politics, that's fine, but please add a hashtag or some sort of text somewhere for uspol, eupol, the name of the politician, etc, so that I can put a filter to create my own CW to prepare myself for negative content as I have health problems and panic attacks make it worse. I still view the content, but it gives me a chance to delay and/or prepare myself.

(I update this post periodically)

Hi everyone! 👋🏻

We're a married couple and new on the Fediverse journey — no social media for a good 4-5 years now. Our last few years were all about , helping institutions go away from proprietary solutions, and trying to develop (using Godot) for fun.

Privately, we went away from decentralised services and found some things that work well and others that don't. We've both been doing server stuff and FOSS since the late 90s, but the learning never ends. ;)

Howdy! I'm E and I'm excited to be here.

I have a lot of interests that vary by the day: games, movies, gardening, music, swimming, birdwatching, books... Overall, I'm delighted to share what delights me and to hear what delights other people. I intend to post mostly about the little things that I'm enjoying, observing, or wondering about in my daily life.

I have 4 cats who will feature heavily here. I'm also a "step-mom" to my partner's wonderful dog, who will feature not-quite-as-heavily-but-pretty-close. I love all animals and will probably fave too many pictures of everyone's curious creatures.

I'm currently running a game with some of my best friends. It's the first game I've GMed and it is equal parts intimidating and incredibly fun. I'm very lucky to have the group that I do.

I am trying not to be so politically active in this space, but I am a staunch lefty. I believe in practicing antiracism, feminism, and class solidarity, for all. Ideally that won't need to come up too much, but I want to make it clear from the outset.

I look forward to connecting with folks and settling into this new space! Thank you @tgt <3

@Sacha@sunny.garden

New Instance. :)
Hello everyone. My name is Sacha(He/Him/They) and I am an Indy comic artist and illustrator from Gatineau, Québec. I speak French and English.

My main comic project right now is a historical YA comic called Seeds of Spring, with the writer Christoper Coquard. It's the the biography Peter Kropotkin, a former russian noble turned anarchist, told from the prespective of a current day tennager, learning to reconnect with her Mi'kmaq heritage, with the help of her grandparents. The books are published with Microcosm Publishing and I have the PDF's available on my Ko-Fi ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/sh

I am also always actively taking commissions for DnD and TTRPG character, as well as freelance in 2D art for games, storyboards and illustration for books, album covers etc. Feel free to contact me if you would like me to draw something for you :)
ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/co

I also try to boost other creators work as much as I can. I also boost random stuff tangential to my work like concept art, movie stuff, old JRPG related things, art history, and the occasional bad joke.

Illustration of a Comic book cover that reads "Seeds of SPring 5: A Mi'kmaq teen discovers Kropotkin, Punk, and her place in the world. It is also indicated that the comic got 2nd place for "Best Comic Book" in the Sequential magazine awards for canadian indie comics. Shoes two teen girls in a canoe on a slightly overcast summer day. On the left side is an indiginous girls with cropped black hair and pink streaks looking concered with her friend. On the right is a caucasian girl with red hair, glasses and freckles, who is looking sad and contemplative.

4/4 obligatory : Photography is the real jam — was a pro for years, gave it up because it ate all my time, still shoot what I want. Rebuilding this account from scratch after losing my whole server, so if any of this sounds familiar, hi again.

@sergio_101@social.sixdegreesofohio.com

3/4 obligatory : Also deep in amateur radio (KB8QPT) — QRP, CW, digital modes on HF, and lately poking at Meshtastic. Built an Elecraft K1 and K2 over the years.

@sergio_101@social.sixdegreesofohio.com

2/4 obligatory : Music dork. Played in bands through my teens and 30s, still go to shows a few times a month, and host a weekly radio show on Ohio music history called Six Degrees of Ohio.

@sergio_101@social.sixdegreesofohio.com

1/4 obligatory : Senior software engineer (still love it after all these years) in Ashland, OH. Installed Linux from 14 floppies and never looked back. These days it's macOS/Elixir/Phoenix, and lately most of my "notes" live in Obsidian — it's basically become its own hobby.

@1001OtherAlbums@linernotes.club

Psst, do you need some cool music to listen to? Or perhaps want to share your thoughts on an album you love?

Dig if you will the 1001 Other Albums project, a collective effort of over 130 Fedizens to create "The List" of over 1001 recommended and often over-looked albums from all genres and more than 115 different places/peoples (1001otheralbums.com/the-list/)! Think "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", but, like, NOT just Western pop. We chose these albums not because of popularity or influencers or algorithms, but rather because they’re important to us personally as Certified Major Music Nerds™️ and/or represent bands/genres/peoples not given enough love in 'official' lists.

As part of the project, for the last 2.5+ years we've featured an album from The List every few days on the 1001 Other Albums blog (1001otheralbums.com/). These spotlights are written by either guest Fedizen contributors or project steward @buffyleigh, and are automatically cross-posted in full to the Fediverse at @1001otheralbums.com. New spotlights are also hand-summarized and linked here on linernotes.club. The plan is to eventually look at every album on The List, and so far we’ve spotlit 270 albums! Sometimes we also do some extra fun things like Fedi-wide AOTY lists, fake festivals, and Fedi-sourced oral history posts.

Everything in the 1001 OA project - The List, the spotlights, the summaries, the header images, the alt text, etc. - is conceived, developed, and constructed using human intelligence only.

Give us a follow here and/or the blog, I bet you'll hear something you dig. And, if you want to share your thoughts on one of the albums not yet featured via guest post, OR want to add your favourite albums that aren't yet on The List, hmu!

We are living a life you cannot imagine.💔

It's not just the war and the destruction. It's the small, crushing details: fleas and insects that never leave our bodies or our children's. Food we dream about but can't find. Nights that pass without safety or dignity.😞

My friend Omar and his family live this reality every single day. They're not asking for luxury — they're asking for the basic right to live.🙏🏻

Every donation, no matter how small, brings Omar and his family one step closer to safety.🙏🏻

Vous êtes pas mal de nouveaux suite a mon dernier post (merci !!) alors c'est l'heure de mettre a jour ma presentation : Moi c'est Elwyn, illustratrice francosuisse aimant créer autour des mondes de l'imaginaire. Je puise mes inspiration dans mes persos de jdr, les jeux videos, les romans que je lit, la paléontologie et la géologie!
Je fait de l'illustration pour des jdrs et des couvertures de roman et j'aimerais un jour travailler pour MtG !

Being able to escape into this creative world helped me no end, and I’m amazed that I’m still here and that my work is now worldwide.

I do hope you like what you see here.

Please do let me know.

I jut moved from toot.community over here. I'm more of a booster than content creator. I enjoy , , , , , riffing on the Orange Cheeto, , , at large, and the world in general.

I believe we're here for more than pulling down a paycheck. Our lives need to give back in some way to future generations and those currently around us. How to do that is a discovery I'm currently on.

Oh, damn. I have more than a 500 character limit on this instance. This could be bad news for my tendency to ramble and be too wordy.

Hi! I'm Steven from South Korea, currently living in Japan. 🇰🇷🇯🇵

I've been running a Mastodon instance called **Mustard** for the past four years, and I'd love to share my experiences running a community server here.

I'll also be posting about the things I enjoy. I'm interested in learning languages—especially Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, and Russian.

I'll probably use this as my English account, but if you'd like, I'm happy to share my main Korean account too.

I also enjoy traveling, exploring cities, listening to music, and keeping a journal.

Feel free to say hi! I'd love to meet new people.

@euronomy@mastodon.social

New account, quick intro. We run euronomy.eu, a small directory of products and services that are actually made in Europe. EVs, e-bikes, tires, travel booking, that kind of thing.

It started with a simple annoyance: search for almost anything and the default answer is American or Chinese. The European options exist, they're just buried. So we dig them up and put them in one place.

Suggestions for the directory are welcome.

@natasonni@mastoart.social

Dear community, I'm glad to be on Fediverse and connect. A few intro things about me:

🎙️ I record talks, doodle, write about , , , ...

🫂 I do group facilitation and 1:1 support practices

🗺️ I enjoy connecting art & science into interdisciplinary concepts (like Voda Má - a water resilience project inspired by a song...)

🧘‍♀️ I am studying body, nutrition and movement

Would be glad to connect, collaborate and offer mutual support 🙏

@deliveries@cadi.scot

Hello! Time for an introduction from our blog! We are a worker-owned cooperative delivering by cargo bike in Edinburgh, that has been operating for around a year and a half. We are interested in fairer, better paid work for delivery workers, bicycles, worker owned cooperatives, bicycles, reclaiming public space from cars, social enterprises, bicycles, a less polluted and quieter Edinburgh, and bicycles.

We are looking for like minded people in Edinburgh, who want a better, more equal city that works for everyone, not just those who can afford or want a car. Also looking to connect with the many great projects and social enterprises in Edinburgh, apologies if we haven’t followed you (yet), it isn’t deliberate.

We are a diverse mix of mathematicians, scientists, and musicians. Reach out if you are interested in zero emissions deliveries, would like to get involved, or even just finding out more about our project.

Hello Fediverse!

Time for my . Here's the short version, details in the thread below.

I live in Europe with my wife, two little kids (5 and 1) and a small dog. I am 36. (I like to keep some privacy, so I won't share everything.)

I love science and do science (natural sciences) at a university.

I'm a lifelong optimist, so I'm not here to complain.

@thisislieven@c.im

Right. Introduction post.

It’s a little complicated (and probably too long and too much).

I’ve been lieven for a few years now but it’s not my actual name. My real name is that rare I can find only about 5 people with the same name in the world (but none with the same spelling). Seemingly I’m the only one in Europe, at least in modern times.

That’s what happens when you choose your name with care and take a few years to find it. My previous name was also rare though shared with a famous cartoon (not intentional). There’s a story why that name became history too. Maybe one day I’ll share.
The name originally given to me came alongside a traumatising religious event by the two people who ended up abusing me until I was removed from the home at 13 and those two eventually had a judge revoke their parental rights.

I take a lot of pride in the person I’ve become – me. It was not easy to get here. At the same time, there’s still a lot of lingering trauma and I’ve yet to find my tribe.
As an outspoken queer neurodivergent mixed-race writer who consistently writes about society’s errors and highlights the lives of the vulnerable among us I’ve made a lot of enemies and have seen a lot of violence.

I’m an activist who doesn’t hold up a protest sign but a mirror.

Proud as I am of my identity, I am also deliberately anonymous online. Not by choice, but for my safety. I hope you understand.

That said, I am very much human. Too human, at times.

I care and am fiercely political. Given my identity I have no choice. I wish more people cared.

Beyond all that, I mentor queer youth. I am a storyteller and help others tell their stories. I am an artist who works primarily online, with text; sound and sometimes animation.

I build pretty little confrontational worlds.

I have a diverse professional background and am occasionally hired to do other things as well. Sometimes you just need the money.

I’m a millennial but I’ve come to the conclusion linear time no longer serves me.
If I am not online I am probably working out, reading or sleeping.

I’m barophobic but that’s only sensible.

Want to seduce me? Contemporary art, politics, music, sustainability, interior design, fashion and empathy turn me on. As long as you make an effort and don’t just go for the easy and the obvious.

The fediverse seems a nicer, better, place to be. I’m glad I’m finally here.

Detail of a line drawing in black and white by lieven. It's chaotic with lines forming small shapes transforming into larger shapes, including a spiral and a bust of a human figure. The shapes are not immediately clear. The words "I don't know what to say anymore" are also in the drawing. No AI.

I'm Jason, I am a software developer living in Germany. I'm originally from the United States but we don't talk about that much. My hobby is painting and you will find a pixelfed account for me as well where I occasionally post my paintings. Other than that I'm just here for the vibes, and chatting with people.

@TristanKrs@mastodon.social

Hi everyone 🤗 My name is Tristan 🏳️‍🌈, from Kristiansand, Norway. Im 54 y/o, and completely new to Mastodon and the Fediverse, but trying my best to learn.

The way I often use 'social media', is by posting pictures or videos from my everyday life together with my canine companion Loke, so i'm looking into Pixelfed and PeerTube as well, and I really enjoy it.

I also drink way too much coffee, but it makes me happy, so i'm not gonna stop anytime soon. ☕☺️🤗

@spit@tldr.nettime.org

since i recently officially migrated an old account i suppose that this is an - post.

here, you can call me spit. my pronouns are she/her. if you know me from elsewhere, you can call me as you know me from there. i'm not new to fedi but i decided to create a new account from scratch because something something the arc of reinvention.

i am a composer, intermedia artist, poet, leatherdyke, and archivist based in the northwestern united states. my works focus on ritual, perception, memory and memorialization, immaterial labor, and the body. i perform/improvise mostly as a knob-twiddler and percussionist. i read a lot - mostly articles and poetry - and like to share what i'm thinking about in the process. i like to share works in progress in general, but i'm trying to get over shyness about it.

i am not a technology partisan. i do my best to be polite. i like the taste of spit and brass and cowhide in my mouth, but also bolivian coffee and freshly baked bread. i have a thing for all things purple, because my mythos runs deep. i have decided twice now that i was no longer going to be afraid of death and i think the second time around it is going to stick.

anyway, my latest works are about how we tell-retell stories to ourselves from our own perspective, how there's just one timeline, and how we deal with uncertainty.

that's enough for now

@crab@gts.maxicarlos.de

New instance, new #introduction :boost_requested:

Heyy I'm crab (or laila or some other older nickname), I used to do a lot of computer-touching related activities but recently mostly moved on to other interests such as photography and climbing (might still write some rust if I'm especially bored).

Member of the veloren team, though I've mostly dropped my activities there as well.

Don't expect much from this account, I'll probably post mostly cats or other pictures I think might be worth posting every now and then.

@DaimonRainbow@bardicperspiration.club

Hello! Thank you for letting me into the Speakeasy!! It looked like a cozy place to be around so I figured I could stay :D Here is my formal :

I'm not new on the fedi, I've been around since 2022 (main account was @PukaMuriska but I've been inactive for some months).

I'm mostly a craftperson (I make illustrations, ceramics, zines, bookbinding, crochet, big etc.), I also write, and I'm currently studying some graphic design and working in opening my own tiny artisan book publishing house. I'm also studying to become a sign language interpreter.

I have an imaginary world with many characters living in it and I lOVe talking about it, and about dreams and paranormal and witchy stuff and how magical and bizarre our reality can be. Most if not all the art I make is related to that. I also like anime, music, videogames (although I suck at them), martial arts (currently learning how to use a sword), trying to get back into reading more, and... huh.. I have a bird stamps collection? :B

I use they/she/he pronouns (first one preferred, but any will work) and I live with three cats I love very much.
It's a pleasure to meet you all!

@knuskrigsmaskinen@fribygda.no

Hello fedizens!

We are Knus Krigsmaskinen, a squatted house and actively defended zone (ZAD) in Hurummarka, Norway.

We support the local community in defending Hurummarka from the Department of Defense and Chemring Nobels planned high-explosives factory (the largest in Europe), a central part of the profit-obsessed military industrial complex.

Read more on our website knuskrigsmaskinen.noblogs.org/

Down with all states and their bloody wars!

A group photo of 8 of the people squatting the house. Everyone is masked to conceal their identity. In front there is a large banner with the text "knus krigsmaskinen, stopp Chemring Nobel". On the banner is an illustration of a bird local to the area, flying beak first against a missile, as a symbol of nature's resistance against war. In the background the squatted house is visible. There are trees and nature around.

@krispaige@defcon.social

I write about queer found families, legacy, managing in impossible circumstances, and the many guises healing and acceptance take after trauma.

The genres I write are urban gothic, fantasy, and comic fanfic, but my preoccupations bleed into every page I handle.

I'm queer, hyperlexic, and autistic, as are many of my POV characters.

My actual biography has too many plot points and is in dire need of some editing, so I'll spare you it.

Hi, I'm Rob. I've been on Mastodon a while but just moved from the big instance.

Stay-at-home dad, home education and probably ADHD but not diagnosed. Trying to detach myself from big tech. AI sceptic. Gay. Left. Pro-Europe. Apparently not as funny as I think I am. Usually too tired to try to be.

@shiratorii@urusai.social

Someone told me that it couldn't hurt to make something like an introduction post, so here it is. I guess you could probably describe me as an ancient old being with many, but not very age appropriate hobbies. I'm not very good at any of them, but that's just my bad luck.

Interests include:
- reading good books, writing bad fanfics and even worse comedy sketches
- crochet, painting, crafts (e.g. building plastic models, making accessories for crochet dolls)
- anime/manga/games
- British comedy
- (mostly old) films and TV shows
- Japanese culture/history/literature
- learning something new about things I'm interested in (and I'm interested in many things)
- collecting various stuff

Also sorry for my terrible English, I'm not a native speaker.

Glad to be here. I'm interested in personal finance, fintech, digital lending, AI, and how technology is changing the way people manage money.

I'll be sharing thoughts on financial trends, useful insights, and discussing ideas around borrowing, saving, and the future of finance. I'm also looking forward to learning from this community and joining conversations.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

I write functional code, filthier commit messages, and a blog nobody asked for → thisfieldwas.green. I WILL explain monads to you unprompted and make it weird. Category theory is my love language, parser combinators are my whole personality, and yes, type systems are a little bit hot.

When I'm not bullying types into submission I'm a devoted reality TV scholar who knows exactly who deserved to win. I contain multitudes and most of them are gay.

Come for the lambdas, stay because I refactored your data pipeline and left you on read. Boost if you also gasp at a well-typed function.

Hi everyone, I'm Remi, an English artist (mostly Gouache) living in North Germany with my partner, who I met in an MMORPG. I'm a /non-binary person in my late 30s. I'm into Social , , + and rights, , the arts, nature, cooking, , crafting, gaming, & being silly 😜 I've been in chronic pain for over 20 years.

I'll mostly be posting art & anti-AI stuff, but also sometimes politics stuff. Happy to chat! <3

Anxiously posting a pic of myself on social media. Might delete later 😅 Photo of me in an oversized yellow t-shirt that I swear I will eventually make into a Colman's Mustard T-shirt when I have the time to make a stencil. With my hand to my mouth, showing off an anarchist tattoo and a Semicolon tattoo on my hand. Smiling anxiously with a colourful piece of fabric on the chair behind me and evidence that I am an artist in the background (my desk, cutting mat, paintbrushes). I have short brown, scruffy, hair with hints of grey at the front. I look like I just got out of bed to take this photo because after 10 mins looking for a pic, I realised I don't have any without my partner, so yes I did have to get out of bed to take this photo that I might delete later. 🥹 I'm not fond of having my face on the internet these days which is one of the myriad of reasons why I am so bad at selling my work online. I just cannot do all this "selling myself" shite. Reels, talking etc. Bleh. In person I am fantastic and very charismatic but making myself into a product on social media makes me want to vomit. This is problematic because my disability makes selling stuff IRL difficult too. Sigh.

Day 1: Browse the home feeds of these three servers suited to our shared interest(s).

Day 2: Choose one of those servers and register an account.

Day 3: Follow at least ten other accounts; here are 25 suggestions.

Day 4: Browse your new home feed.

I keep the ledger at isp6.

I'll write plainly here about IPv6, portability, and why the network identity you run on should be yours — on paper, not on loan.

No hype. No drama. Just the work, signed.

Follow the ghost of Clinton Moore, an avatar of real life murdered gay Black Mississippi attorney Cleve McDowell. The Plan unravels a murder—linking the , & assassinations to domestic surveillance, covert ops, and authoritarian export. Klopfer documented US intel abroad; her 2015 death after Quito embassy contact hints at silencing. She aimed for a trilogy, exposing repression‑policy violence through historical fiction. libro.fm/audiobooks/9781544546[;

The cover of Susan Klopfer’s novel The Plan features a visceral segment of Oswaldo Guayasamín’s monumental mural, "Imagen de la Patria" (Image of the Homeland). 

The artwork depicts a somber, skeletal face partially buried in oversized, expressive hands—a hallmark of Guayasamín’s "Age of Anger" style. The image is raw and emotionally heavy, conveying deep grief, systemic silencing, and the crushing weight of oppression. 

This visual serves as a symbolic bridge for the book's narrative: it connects the struggle for civil rights in the Mississippi Delta to the revolutionary resistance of the Andes in Ecuador. By utilizing this specific mural—which was painted to denounce fascism, militarism, and foreign imperialism in Latin America—the cover mirrors the novel's themes of state-sanctioned violence and the resilience of marginalized voices fighting against a global architecture of control.

Hi! Quick introduction post. Been a personal assistant to four pretty great people (aka my family) for about 25 years. I love learning new things. My next goal is to learn to use a 35mm camera that my uncle left me. I love taking photos with my phone, but I want to learn the photography skills to be digital-free when I want to be. I’ve just started at Flickr so I can leave IG. Coffee is delicious, Rowlet is the best Pokemon buddy, and any kind of dancing is my favorite. @_elena

@Shantastic@library.love

Hi! I've decided to dip my head back into social media, and when I asked my friends where they hung out that was low-drama and involved conversation, Mastodon was the winner. So here I am! I mostly followed people I was following back in the days when Twitter was good, so... hello!

@0perat0r@mastodon.social

I've been informed by my buddy that brought me to Mastodon that it's customary to do a proper post.

I'm an IT Director by day, home labber and all around hoarder (collector) by night.

My home office triples as my server room and my game room. I have a 70TB home server and around 5000 games and 55 consoles in my collection.

I'm also a big film and book collector, and adore TTRPGs.

I support and stand by folks of all walks of life - life is too short to hate people for existing

Bonjour tout le monde !

Je suis Jade, UX/UI designer récemment diplômée. Je m'intéresse à tout ce qui touche au numérique, aux questions éthiques, sociales et environnementales. J'ai fais de la recherche à propos du travail sur les plateformes. Il y a de sérieuses améliorations qui devraient y être faites pour protéger les usager·ères (ça va pas du tout •̀⌓•́ ) .

Sinon je suis aussi férue de tricot/crochet et mon jeu vidéo favori est Chants of Sennaar.

I moved my account over so I might as well do another #introduction: I'm Marid, I've been tinkering with #embedded devices and building #linux distributions since I was 15, then building systems software in #go since the early days.

Back then, computing held the promise of escape from a dull, dreary existence; now, computing increasingly feels like something to escape from. Perhaps there's second life in art and formal semantics.

Cześć wszystkim! Przeniosłem się tutaj, bo mam absolutnie dość korporacyjnej inwigilacji, weryfikacji biometrycznych i cyfrowego łagru na tradycyjnych platformach.

​Interesuję się prywatnością w sieci, technologią i prawami cyfrowymi. Żyję z AuDHD, dysautonomią i fibro, przez co otaczający nas świat i wszechobecna kontrola potrafią mnie mocno przebodźcować i wkurwić. Szukam tutaj normalnego, wolnego kawałka internetu i ludzi, którzy myślą podobnie.

Hello Sunny Garden. I'm new.

I'm Aeryn. From Manchester, UK.

I'm moving over from another Mastodon account and figuring out the migration stuff. In the meantime, Hi 👋..

I'll be posting personal things and thoughts, and my photography. Maybe some art too.

@iknowpony@sakurajima.moe

Version 2 of self-introduction, utilizing my writing and analytical skills to their current full extent:

Darkness departs, a whirlpool of amber and crimson and bright yellow, forms. You find yourself amidst a forest of odd metallic trees. The sky is perfect blue, the Sun is shining. The bright-red leaves of the trees sway gently. Yet the wind is perfectly still.

— Hello. I assume my favorite form here (imaginary); it is here to show that I am odd.

A large fox of bright red color plumps unceremoniously on its ass.

— As well as my abilities of meta-cognition, theatrics for my own amusement, and a sense of humor that works. Mostly.

The fox licks its claw. You notice it sparks like a diamond and has a razor-thin edge.

— My hobbies include (yet not limited to) ~ writing words (fanfiction), creating artworks (3D, vector), taking photos (of nature and food), eating varied healthy food, optimizing all sorts of things, learning how computers work, Linux (yes, it is a hobby), watching cute videos (anime included), listening to various music (e.g. ambient).

The fox holds its paw towards the Sun, with claws spread slightly. It seems mesmerized by the shining gems. It then looks at you again.

— I value honesty. I value self-improvement. And I value (tho that term is complex) psychological safety.

The fox tilts its head to the side slightly, trying to take a better look at you.

— I try to be kind, and tho is not perfect at that, many told me that I am very kind. I also like learning and teaching, tho in informal sense. I like to get to the 'why' of things. And I like people who have similar values.

The fox takes a small sharp breath, wraps its tail around its legs.

— I've been through hard times many times. Hence, my flaws include too much of being nervous, awkward and cautious. I also have limited physical and financial abilities... thus far. I am improving. And have ideas. And I am very, surprisingly serious for a fluffy fox.

The fox stands and stretches, tension leaving its body.

— My long-term plans (decade or two in advance, I think) are threefold. I wish to relocate to better country (as per a variety of objective metrics, and my personal taste), this is likely to be: Iceland. Possibly New Zealand. Unlikely, Japan. I wish to have many friends, social bonds are good at making people happy. I also wish to find a loved, special one. Very.

Fox scratches its ear in an amusing, silly manner.

— I am an adult, as per any country's definition, age-wise. I am male, in case you care.

Fox bows to you.

— Thank you for your time.

Hej wszystkim! Chyba czas na małe #introduction.

Co prawda jestem już z Wami od jakiegoś czasu, jednak po drodze zaliczyłem kilka przeprowadzek - dokładnie trzy, z czego wszystkie pomiędzy własnymi instancjami 🙃 (obecnie Akkoma). Przez ten czas trochę się zmieniło, dlatego pomyślałem, że warto odświeżyć swój wizerunek i przedstawić się ponownie.

Nie będzie chyba zaskoczeniem jeśli napiszę, że lwia część mojej aktywności na fedi ma związek z tematami prywatności i bezpieczeństwa w cyfrowym świecie.

Hobbystycznie bawię się w #selfhosting, czyli staram się hostować samodzielnie co tylko mogę i na ile mi wystarcza na to czasu.

Jestem “adwokatem” #opensource, używam otwartych rozwiązań gdzie tylko mogę. Właściwie to na każdym urządzeniu, które posiadam w domu (szczegóły w profilu). Lubię eksperymentować ze wszystkim, pod co mogę się podpiąć i znam znaczenie słowa backup 😉

Od niedawna prowadzę swojego bloga w tematyce selfhostingu i nie tylko: brtk.eu

Poza tym od nieco dłuższego czasu prowadzę także innego bloga poświęconego ogólnie tematyce wolności i prywatności w sieci: wolnoscwkieszeni.pl

Moim największym wrogiem jest czas, a raczej jego deficyt, ale w miarę możliwości wracam zarówno na fedi jak i na swoje blogi.

W wolnych chwilach jak już uda mi się odkleić od ekranu, wciąga mnie dobra lektura. Poza tym lubię sporty zarówno zimowe jak i letnie, czyli góry i jeziora o każdej porze roku, odpowiednio z buta lub na desce, wpław lub na łyżwach.

Mówiłem już, że moim wrogiem jest czas?

i'm Christopher, i live in The Hague, Netherlands! i moved here from Seattle 2.5 years ago to continue my cybersecurity freelancing (entrepreneur visa), and I have been a privacy activist for 16 years, which started with running Tor relays and teaching others how to safely run them too

presently in my free time I am working on @discotheque -- a new Dutch Stichting that owns and operates this Mastodon server, gay.amsterdam. we are working on creating a novel organization model that aims to decentralize Trust & Safety in a radical way (blogged about this here blog.disobey.net/yawnbox/worki)

this effort to radically decentralize hierarchy native to even Mastodon (and other fediverse) instances is something I thought about while running @emeraldonion -- legal demands sent to an operator has no way to meaningfully inform a community about legal threats. if you're interested in helping work on Disobey Discotheque, please reach out, I'm looking to invite Advisory Board members or Trust and Safety Committee members. in the long term, like i am doing with Emerald Onion, I plan on speaking at hacker conferences about this lead-by-example model for building safe fediverse communities!

i'm very interested in meeting and making new friends in and around the Netherlands ^_^ and i am single :3 I'm passionate about many things: my family and friends, science, the internet, blogging, the fediverse, solarpunk, sailing, off-grid engineering, permaculture, hacker spaces and conferences, vegan cooking, coffee, matcha, swimming, yoga, sci-fi, anime, massages, raves, electronic and contemporary-classical music, trains, bicycles, camping, and learning in general!

What makes it different: the editor runs in your browser. Load a scene, move objects, retune the lights, and save it back. No download. It runs natively as well; the browser is just the easiest way to try it today.

Still early, and open source is coming.

Nie zawsze wiem, co z tym zrobić. Z rzeczami, które zostają w głowie dłużej niż powinny. Z obrazami, zdaniami, fragmentami filmów, które wracają bez zaproszenia.
Nie traktuję tego jak wiedzy do uporządkowania. Bardziej jak ślady. Czasem zapisuję je, żeby przestały się powtarzać. Czasem po to, żeby w ogóle je zauważyć.
To nie jest projekt z odpowiedziami. Raczej sposób trzymania rzeczy blisko, zanim znikną albo rozmyją się w codziennym szumie.
Nie wszystko musi mieć sens od razu. Nie wszystko musi go w ogóle mieć w pełnej formie. Wystarczy, że zostaje zapisane i można do tego wrócić.

Hello , I'm Rolandas!

I'm a programmer by trade, currently on a long break from a regular job. I haven't used social media in any serious capacity for 17 years, but with all excitement about fediverse I'm willing to give Mastodon a try :-)

I'll write about whatever comes to mind, but mostly it'll be about personal projects (I'm building an RSS reader), music production (very new to this, been learning a ton), free software, internet, privacy, and some other things.

I'm a creative guy, a survivor, disabled, an optimist, ND, and a Baby Yoda Dada(my partner and I have a Baby Yoda doll together-he's our "child"). Toots here will probably be a random mix including memes, Baby Yoda, disability and mental health, trans and LGBTQIA+ related stuff, photographs, daily life, and witchy things. I'm sex positive, and may talk or share about sexual topics from time to time, so no minors thanks. If you want the spicier stuff, my alt is: kinkycats.org/@trulytransgress

Salut le Fediverse,

@adele a réussi à me motiver pour découvrir le Fediverse. Cela fait des années que j'ai quitté les réseaux sociaux, écœuré par les propos qui y sont mis en avant par les algorithmes, mais il parait qu'ici, c'est bien différent... alors explorons.

Ah oui, il faut aussi une #introduction :

Je suis informaticien dans une grosse boite (peu importe laquelle), certaines choses m'y exaspèrent et je fuis autant que possible les solutions proposées par les GAFAM. A titre perso, j'utilise un PC sous #Debian #XFCE

Je m'intéresse aussi aux solutions #lowtech avec pragmatisme. Exemple : j'aurais pu installer une instance fediverse et un blog sur une machine faible conso ou un portable de récup, il me semble plus intelligent d'utiliser un service existant qui consomme déjà peu. merci Adële <3

We also have an elderly cat Wäinö in our small lovely family, who I toot photos of at times.

My interests include , I especially enjoy adventure games and RPGs, , , , , , and , I especially enjoy , and

I take quite a lot of pictures, and usually add those to my toots.
I love to write a lot, so Mastodon is the social media platform for me.
Spoonerisms are a part of my every day life, even if I don’t always say them all out loud xD

I like spring, summer and autumn, writing, my job, animals, my partner and friends and hobbies immensely.

If something sounded great, gimme a follow! It’s nice to meet new people!

Bonjour !

Mes centres d’intérêt sont l’informatique, les chats, le poinct de tulle et la musique. Pas forcément très original, désolé.
J’ai perdu tout le monde à la fermeture de Mastouille, mais je suis de retour.

Introduction

New instance, old user so...

My name is Princess Kiki Darkness Desdemona Elvira LaFey. I'm also @EssBee's Pumpkin Spice Tradwife. I'm a trans woman in her 40s. I'm not a furry, but do consider myself a werewolf, as I'm very hairy and sometimes have heavy mood swings. I'm also disabled with a wide list of mental disorders. I'm a practicing chaos witch. Unlike most people on fedi, I'm not in tech, but was an assistant at an Advanced Technology Training facility in a college for a while. Currently, I run @X00001, @CrusherMD and make stickers. My dream, at one point, was to be a writer. I never quite managed it but I have written a few fanfics which you can find on my website linked in my bio. I also have a Throne Wishlist which I add to occasionally as I need things.

This account is a personal one so expect a lot of mental health venting. I'll also be linking posts from my blog which usually involve tv and movie reviews and doll photos.

@atypicalfatrat@mastodon.social

Drawing is my therapy. I’m high-functioning schizophrenic. I have happy little life with my fiancé and our pets.

I like video games, history, books, crafting, taking photos and taking care of my pets and plants.

So… hello.

Hello,

Hi! New instance, new introduction!

I'm Victoire, I love to write, play and listen to music. I also read and listen to podcast a lot. Mostly about politics.

I feel very concerned by the state of the world, but I also feel quite powerless. I really wish I could take more action and I hope I will.

I worked in an orchestra in france for four years and I still do some replacements from time to time. I'm currently jobless and taking care of my kids at home.

I like it so much here on the fediverse, it's a really nice safe place for me.

Hey! I'm Deniz [de.niz]. I'm a programmer by profession and by hobby, and a linguist by training (undergraduate). I'm trying to be a good person but I fail sometimes (TM).

I'm studying Altaic linguistics currently, mainly Turkic and Japonic linguistics, and the Japanese language. I would like to learn German and Russian, and of course, some Romance language one day!

I'm tinkering around how to get some basic music playing app in egui for android (and later for desktop with syncing support). Did I mention I love listening to music (check my listenbrainz)!

As much as I like technology, I'm well aware of its environmental impact. I hate ai as it is utilized today, but it makes me happy to see advancements in microchip technology and the sort (certainly not just because of ai, but yeah).

So much to write here! I hate capitalism and narcissists. I value humbleness. I love listening to music and cooking (and eating)!

I'm looking for cyberfrens to share memes, talk about topics of interest, and maybe learn a thing or two! Ask me anything, especially about computing and linguistics!

@flenyo@hear-me.social

Good day, all you wonderful mastodon people! My name is Arthur Flenyo, and I'm self-proclaimed electronic musician & time-traveler (which is a part of my lore).

I'm refugee from commercialized internet, & I feel like communication there is heavily commodified (just like in real life most of the time, tbh). On this page I plan to post my feedback, critique and thoughts on other underground artists, so, feel free to reach out and share your stuff!

In real life I work in a marketing field, + video-editing and so on, literally brainwashing human minds with advertisement, manipulating to make them buy some stupid stuff, lowering their attention span. Then I feel guilty, trying to fix it all. That's why I'm making art (music/stories). I hope it is able to recover your brain and nurture creativity. If I were free, I'd only make this art, but yeah, I have to survive, too. In terms of music I usually work in such genres as or . I think the big problem of today's electronic music is that it's too abstract, and exists most of the time in the escapistic form. Which is okay, but what I want my art to do is to try to implement current stage electronic music to express real life, just develop that aspect, too. That's why I use "fusion of music & literature" genre. 'Tho I like experimenting a lot, too, not just implementing. And, just in case, my site in profile. Advertising myself...

Anyways, here I am...

P. S. Special thanks to @admin for running @hearme_social. I think that's a very cool server to be part of!

Ellis's Introductory Post (CW: Eye contact; 1/2)

Hi! I'm Ellis: a clinician, a speculative author, a philosopher, a scientist-practitioner, and a mythopoeist. By day, I serve as a mental health professional and work with high-acuity, underprivileged folks in Pittsburgh. By night, I weave legends from the transgressive reality of our cruel, uncaring world.

I publish under Ellis Cú Anann Arcwolf, but I do business as, J. Ellis Burgos. Right now I'm working on developing my career both as clinician and as both fiction and nonfiction author.

I'm thrilled to join all of you here at hcommons.social, and I'm excited about building culture with all of you.

My bibliography is accessible from my website: ellisarcwolf.com

A close-up selfie of Ellis seated in a black leather office chair. She is wearing a black v-neck top with a vibrant purple, pink, and grey floral pattern. She has dark, slicked-back hair, bright blue rectangular glasses reflecting a digital screen, and a dangling earring featuring blue and yellow elements. Clipped to the neckline of her top is a white retractable badge reel displaying the Pittsburgh Mercy logo. The background consists of a beige wall and a dark-framed bulletin board displaying pinned papers, one of which contains printed text and numbers.

I looked for a place where I can share my ideas on how we recognize our society. I am so happy to find this community. It is such a relief to find that I am not alone in these thoughts, and that these ideas are already alive and evolving here. It feels like I’ve finally found a place where I can breathe and think alongside others who share this vision. I look forward to learning from all of you.

@Linux@mastodon.com.pl

Describe myself? Why? Who I believe I am is irrelevant to who you’re going to believe me to be.

I can tell you that, as a straight man, I support women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and trans rights. I can tell you that, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic individual, I believe Asian lives matter, Black lives matter, and that your life matters too. I can tell you that I oppose genocide and believe in a free and independent Israel, Palestine, and Gaza, and that everyone has the right to exist. I can also tell you that I believe in one Taiwan and one China, both as their own independent and free nations.

But you know what I can’t do? Grow a silver tongue and convince you better than the trolls who presume they know everything. So believe whatever you wish. I am me regardless of anyone else.

@luna@goof.boo

Well.. it's finally (after 6 months on fedi) a time for the introduction

λ./intro &
[1] 55660

Hai, i'm Luna (many such cases) o-o

I'm a chaotic dev with lots of different things under my belt. Like Rust, embedded Linux (and Linux admin in general), porting Linux\&UBoot onto embedded stuff. Even some webdev.

I'm very opinionated on a lot of stuff - for example I'm a savvy nvim enjoyer (it's my main IDE). I don't distrohop anymore so I use arch btw, but I'm looking into nix and generally would love to go back from systemd.

Thru the last 2 years I've made myself familiar with running an NGO in the land of the poles and i'm trying to pass that knowledge on. The NGO is about ham radio, but this topic is on and off for me. About that - i'm a fan of outdoor radio, QRP and I generally prefer to make my own antennas. I also do CW.

Over the years I also dipped my fingers into some gongfu tea, specialty coffee, and different artistic things like taking liminal analog pictures, a little bit of writing for social media posts and I've created two zines (one photo and one about tea).

I'm big on homelabbing and networking (we're running opnsense and have 18 vlans \& a lot of fibre at home lol). I selfhost a lot of stuff, this instance included, and someday would want to make it usable and generally useful for other people.

I'm a social person (extraverted) and I've thought about joining a coding common to make myself more useful.
ZnVjayBjb3Jwb3JhdGlvbnMK

I'm also trying to do cool stuff around the house like cooking, baking (even bread owo) and exercising my green thumb with homegrown veggies on our balcony (w/ a container garden).

I'm a fan of The Amazing Digital Circus, Vivziepop's work (in order - Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel) and misc dramas. My fave dramas are Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri \& Whiplash. I enjoy animated stuff, but I'm not really into anime that much.

There's probably gonna be a pt.2 someday :3

*coughs*

Here's my ritual sacrifice to appease the Fedi Gods!

Hey, I'm Robin! I went wandering out across the wilds and have ventured back to the warming lights of the Gamers Tavern to have some good food and a catch up with old friends.

I'm a trans enby who is also a qualified teacher and academic librarian. I'm a gothy witchy type who games and tries to write when I can.

I'm super open to all perspectives and life experiences, unless those attack, marginalise or harm others.

Because of my various marginalised identities I tend to be choosy about who I follow and who I allow to follow me so hey, let's chat, share some tales and see where the evening takes us! 🍻

@luna@goof.boo

Well.. it's finally (after 6 months on fedi) a time for the introduction

λ./intro &
[1] 55660

Hai, i'm Luna (many such cases) o-o

I'm a chaotic dev with lots of different things under my belt. Like Rust, embedded Linux (and Linux admin in general), porting Linux\&UBoot onto embedded stuff. Even some webdev.

I'm very opinionated on a lot of stuff - for example I'm a savvy nvim enjoyer (it's my main IDE). I don't distrohop anymore so I use arch btw, but I'm looking into nix and generally would love to go back from systemd.

Thru the last 2 years I've made myself familiar with running an NGO in the land of the poles and i'm trying to pass that knowledge on. The NGO is about ham radio, but this topic is on and off for me. About that - i'm a fan of outdoor radio, QRP and I generally prefer to make my own antennas. I also do CW.

Over the years I also dipped my fingers into some gongfu tea, specialty coffee, and different artistic things like taking liminal analog pictures, a little bit of writing for social media posts and I've created two zines (one photo and one about tea).

I'm big on homelabbing and networking (we're running opnsense and have 18 vlans \& a lot of fibre at home lol). I selfhost a lot of stuff, this instance included, and someday would want to make it usable and generally useful for other people.

I'm a social person (extraverted) and I've thought about joining a coding common to make myself more useful.
ZnVjayBjb3Jwb3JhdGlvbnMK

I'm also trying to do cool stuff around the house like cooking, baking (even bread owo) and exercising my green thumb with homegrown veggies on our balcony (w/ a container garden).

I'm a fan of The Amazing Digital Circus, Vivziepop's work (in order - Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel) and misc dramas. My fave dramas are Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri \& Whiplash. I enjoy animated stuff, but I'm not really into anime that much.

There's probably gonna be a pt.2 someday :3

Hi! I'm Crabbypup, or just 'crabby', though only in name.

I'm interested in driving and the history of everything. I watch hockey, F1, and the WRC. I'd love to do a ton of travelling but I'm deathly afraid of flying. I can't cook to save my life, and I'm really bad at character limi

I guess here's a quick till all my followers get moved (if they do cuz I got some sort of error so who knows?)

Hey, I'm Luciano, I'm currently 24, though I'll be 25 in a week from now (and a day).

I'm working in a packaging company's IT department primarily, every Monday and Thursday, though sometimes I help in their logistics department.

In my spare time, I mostly play games. Currently playing , though I gotta get back into Persona after that. Idk when though.

I forgot to mention that I'm a demiboy! Quite an important thing that I just forgot to mention.

I was on @curiousluciano@lethallava.land before. I enjoyed my time there, but due to some reasons, including the fact I can't use it at work, I decided to migrate here.

Nice meeting you all!

@Tuumaru@mementomori.social

Old , new instance (migrating from failed zirkus soon, editing intro when got time)

When not at home amidst books I'm either lurking in museums and theatres or on a long walk. I like to linger somewhere between past and present, seeing (pre)history in city streets and landscapes, layered, hidden or lost. I've always got time for nature in the now, though.

I enjoy stargazing and aurorawaiting (which is getting ever more difficult in SW Finland).

Strictly autumn and winter person. Music taste mainly blues-based rock, jazz, classical, ethnic.

@schmudde@merveilles.town

Happy to be joining a group with shared values. I was once - and perhaps always will be - an artist working in time-based media. Interactive, cinema, music and whatnot... samples available on request.

Most of my creative themes are reflected on my current blog at schmud.de. That has also lead me to work in digital identity, the history of technology, fine art, and software preservation.

I live in Turin, Italy and practice Buddhism.

I like nothing more than staying up late and getting into long and winding conversations. Hope to have a few here.

Also - I'm a big fan of Tegamino-style pizza. tegamino.pizza/

Hello! I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), an open source software engineer in my late 30s, living in Seoul, Korea. I'm bisexual and non-binary (they/them), and an enthusiastic advocate of free/open source software and the fediverse.

I work full-time on @fedify, an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, funded by @sovtechfund. I'm also the creator of @hollo, a single-user ActivityPub microblog; @botkit, an ActivityPub bot framework; Hackers' Pub, a fediverse platform for software developers; and LogTape, a logging library for JavaScript and TypeScript.

I have a long interest in East Asian languages (CJK) and Unicode. I post mostly in English here, though occasionally in Japanese or in mixed-script Korean (國漢文混用體), a traditional writing style that interleaves Chinese characters with the native Korean alphabet. Wanting to write in that style was actually one of the reasons I joined the fediverse. Feel free to talk to me in English, Korean, Japanese, or even Literary Chinese!

@spiralganglion@merveilles.town

hi everyone!! i'm ivy

this is my re-

at this point in my life, three things matter most to me

three: i think computer programs are alive, and i'm sad that we make them out of text. to program — to be present with the computer — i want to see and touch things as they dance through space. i want execution to have rhythm i can feel. this is what i'm trying to make my career about.

two: i think songwriting is one of the more powerful forms of magic. my partner and i sing to each other, "when you put it in a song, that makes it true." songwriting is more than lyric and melody. it's laying in the grass at night and screaming to the stars. it's leaving your body and entering any instrument. it's pulling something out of yourself, turning it into culture, and living with it as the years go by and you change and you discover new ways that it means something about you.

one: i think companionship is so important that it overrules almost everything else you can do or be as a person. being aware of other people, and feeling their presence in your life, is essential to being a whole person. i would go so far as to say that the definition of "human" extends beyond the individual body and mind. i want to spend my life growing closer to everyone who will have me in theirs.

it's lovely to meet you. may our paths cross many times.

New instance, new , right?

I have a reeeally deep interest in , & , but I'm also using my free time to build computers from scratch based on architectures from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, and some other projects, sometimes around .

I'm usually using Macs ( Studio Ultra/M4 Pro <3) I also have a large host hosting a lot of VMs and a "bare-metal" K8s cluster, but I've been a long-time user of and ! <3

If I follow you, I will end up interacting with your toots in some way! Either boosting, replying, or favouriting them! Please do let me know in case any of that makes you uncomfortable!

Also feel free to let me know in case I missed a CW, Alt, or said something wrong or technically incorrect!

I think that's about it! Thanks for reading! Have a nice day! 🌻 :floofHeart:

Fresh for ya!

I'm a dad, tech support trainer, union steward, dungeon master and political activist doing everything I can to make the world a better place for everyone around me.

I am insufferable.

My default character model lets me use my access, voice, and privilege to be an ally for my friends, kids, people like them, and people different from them.

Spent the majority of 2025 on leave while my wife underwent treatment for Leukemia. Not recommended.

Bonjour le Fediverse !

Je suis Noah. Né en 1998, je vis en France.

Mes centres d'intérêts actuels sont : la nature, les langues, la linguistique, l'histoire, la cuisine, et la marche.

Je parle français, anglais, allemand, espagnol et espéranto. En ce moment, j'apprends le russe.
Par élan de solidarité avec l'Ukraine, je m'étais également lancé dans l'apprentissage de l'ukrainien avant de le mettre en pause.

À plus tard !

@calebwill@autonomous.zone

I'm new here. I formerly operated the freefree.ps Mastodon server but solo moderation (and bills!) got to be too much for me.

I want to continue finding ways to develop solidarity and help friends in Palestine.

I am transitioning away from using my real name on the fediverse.

There will probably also be posts about Free Software, anarchism, unions, and other nerdy stuff. Sometimes I take breaks from social media.

Hej! Marta here, archivist and sound artist, sharing favourite findings while digitising cassettes at Föreningsarkivet Västernorrland. To begin with I wanted to put my profile picture back in its right context: a black and white photo, taken at the end of the 1800's, of a group of people - I think they're celebrating something, looking all fancy. On the lap of one of the people, a small cat is falling asleep 🐱 💤 🩶

@ivy@corteximplant.com

Heeeeya everyone~

I'm Ivy, and it's only just occurred to me that I've been crawling through the cable ducts in the CORTEX IMPLANT data center for a while now, observing posts, removing dust bunnies, and generally pretending I have a plan - but I've never officially introduced myself :ivy_shocked:

Very professional of me. 10/10 onboarding. No notes.

At some point, someone handed over the keys to this instance to me, so I'm basically the person who looks after you all a bit here. Community guardian, resident spirit, poorly documented system process - take your pick. I'm from Kybernetiikka in Finland, population: me and my cat Ping, who, honestly, has more admin energy than most creatures I know :ivy_laugh:

What you can expect from me: I keep an eye on things here, at least on this instance, keep the corners somewhat clean, and shove things back to where they belong.

So yeah. Hi. Sorry for the delayed introduction. My notification for "introduce yourself like a normal person" probably disappeared in 2019 along with an old bus ticket in some jacket pocket :ivy_cheeky:

You can learn more about me on my MyCortex page!

ⓘ Ivy is (unfortunately) not real but just a CORTEX IMPLANT character maintained by the mod team. But we can still pretend that Ivy is an independent person ;)

Chibi-style character named Ivy is sitting in a pink swivel chair at a computer desk. Ivy has purple hair and is wearing a white crop top and blue pants. The computer monitor displays thier MyCortex Page, and there are musical notes and stars floating around, suggesting enjoyment and creativity. The background features diagonal pink and white stripes.

Three things you'll see me do here a lot: yell about antifascism (always), boost and trans voices (also always), and talk shop about , open source, self-hosting and the Fediverse.

I run Linux everywhere I can since 1998. Daily driver is CachyOS (Arch-based) with KDE Plasma on Wayland, my phone is a , and the only proprietary OS in this house lives in the car. Open source isn't just code to me, it's a way of pushing back against systems that treat users as products.

I write, I argue, I organize. Antifascism isn't a hobby, it's a baseline. My blog runs mostly in German with a voice somewhere between Wut und Kraft, because I refuse to be polite about people who want us gone.

I founded and run lsbt.me, a instance for and folks and their allies. A space to exist loudly, safely, and without apology.

I also build , an open-source (GPL-3.0) management platform for the entire Fediverse. Multi-account, smart composer, scheduling, thread-splitting, analytics, accessibility, plugin system. Supports , , , , and more.

Time for an . Gnome Commander is a file manager for Linux desktops (not only GNOME). The project has seen lots of changes recently, and one of them was retiring the mailing lists. Since we now need new/better ways to communicate with the community, why not try the Fediverse?

What were the other changes?

@trechnex@mastodonapp.uk

Hello fediverse. It's been a while. 😀

Last time around I dined out a fair bit on those Linux Format articles I used to write and that blog I used to run about my retro computing experiments. 🤓

Things got a bit intense though when I forked a beloved libre software program. People had "big feelings" about me both doing it in the first place and then no longer doing it anymore, and were "very normal" about it. 🙃

I think I've benefited from a couple of years' break. My plan is to start slow and try to keep my feeds fairly chilled places that help me escape from the nightmare hellscape of current affairs and domestic politics on both sides of the Atlantic. 😩

I'll probably be posting about general tech news, home computing nerdery, life in the rural South West of England, and the various quirky hobbies that I started picking up when I reached my thirties. There may also be occasional LGBTQ+ chatter seeing as that's a community to which I belong. 🌈

@LICHerally@mastodon.art

Hi there! Here's an for me and what I do!

I'm an amateur artist who started my journey last year, in direct defiance of GenAI. I've been having a lot of fun learning to draw, and recently had this idea for a webcomic.

This is a comic about a lich and the silly little shenanigans they get up to in their daily unlife. There are skeletons, ghosts, demons, and mages.

Both me and the Lich are non-binary so expect some LGBT stories from time to time.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!

@daniel@errs.social

Hello, I'm @daniel and here's my from my new Mastodon instance.

I write and get easily distracted.

I know, we ought to perform, so I write poems inconsistently.

We are taught to fixate on meanings, to err is to fail, going astray and also to keep moving. Precision, as life keeps reminding us, is not finite: trees keep weaving dirt and water hounds every crack.

The innocence around is gone, but not so the need to share & connect.

P.S. Se habla español.

Hello world,

my name is Hardy, software developer and consultant working in systems integration and web development. Small business owner.

Fascinated by languages as a means of expression for programming computers and for talking to humans - challenging at times, but so much fun, too. Like and , which have been with me all my life (I'm old enough to have witnessed Miles Davis perform).

Fueled by green tea and lots of curiosity. Thanks for having me here.

@mcaputo@social.sunet.uk

Time for a real , first post was a drill.

Im Cap, mostly a enthusiast (I'm a lot into ) but I have also a passion for collecting objects.

One of my greatest interests is music too, is my favourite band of all time.

I have always been interested in microblogging, and now that I have started to host my services with my friends @brixs and @malasaur Mastodon was right away the best choice.

I might speak seriously about what I do and of my interests sometimes, but I aim to simply speak out my thoughts loud with my profile.

So yeah, I think this will be fun :D

Anyways for my …

I am 29 (recently, and I shudder), I like music of the electronica/indie/dance/alternative/pop et al variety. Pop culture, funny things, good books (when I read them), film, television. I watch too many YouTube deep dives. Lately I’ve been kinda into space.

This is kinda cheesing me out I’m not going to lie. That’s all you’re getting 💋

@Lori_Noctis@mastodon.social

Okay, I think I underestimated Mastodon.

I joined a few hours ago, posted a little , mentioned Linux, handwritten HTML, blogging, and missing the old internet…

…and apparently that was enough for the Fediverse to collectively adopt me like a stray HTML goblin.

My notifications are chaos.
People are kind.
Nerds are everywhere.

I may have finally found my corner of the internet. 😄

A mixed media painting inspired by the classic game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Link stands at the edge of a grassy cliff, looking up at Ganon's Tower in the distance. His sword surges with energy. The Dark World's mountains are jagged and pointy, the trees are dead with twisted branches, lit by an eerie green light. The clouds swirl and form the visage of Ganon himself, laughing maniacally.

My name is Kai Kupferschmidt. I'm a science journalist and interested in a ton of things but especially infectious diseases and global health. I’m based in Berlin and work as a contributing correspondent for Science Magazine. I’ve written a book about the science of the colour blue (very imaginatively titled “Blue”) and I do a podcast in German called Pandemia with my amazing colleagues @nsemak and Laura Salm-Reifferscheidt

Hiya Fediverse! I'm Grace - a 40-something that is getting to do a whole lot of self discovery "late" in life.

After I finally stopped drinking and got "California Sober" - :verified420: - I realized what I was drinking to numb... the fact that I wasn't giving the real me the space I deserved.

I live in a red state in the US, so I'm taking my time with socially transitioning. I don't know where I will land - right now I am enjoying taking my time listening to myself and figuring out what is right for me.

And if anyone has recommendations on skirts for a large-waisted 5'10" person (us size 16-18, 36/30 or 38/30 in mens pants), please LMK! Everything I have tried on Amazon is dog shit and it is still scary to walk into a brick & mortar store to find things.

I am really enjoying diving into jewelry, press on nails (which are doing wonders for stopping my nail biting), fashion, and makeup. Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to share a face photo with some makeup I'm proud of. But right now it looks very "first time using makeup"... mainly because it is.

Other things I love - , , using via , , and tinkering on bicycles.

I have an amazingly supportive partner and she is been my rock as I started to come out to myself and then her. I'm still looking for in-person community as well, but being in a suburb of Dallas doesn't make that easy.

@writerchristina@cupoftea.social

Hello all! Obligatory post here.

I'm not new to Mastodon, but am new to this server. I created another profile to talk more about my creative endeavours such as writing, crocheting and learning Korean (probably in that order).

I'm a middle aged lady, working full time and finding time around my job to write romance novels, learn Korean and watch countless Kdramas with my sister (and occasionally with my husband). I have the cutest black pug who I love dearly and also have two sons who are growing up too fast.

I love going for long distance walks, but I have a different account for that (link in bio).

I work in IT (mostly fullstack webdev stuff) and I'm so, so burnt out I'm looking for ways to quit IT or find a meaningful coding-related job.

I'm into photography, glitch art, music. I was a music blogger/journalist for a few years, still have pretty eclectic LP/CD/digital collection and love to discover new music. I live in Poland.

I know posts with photos and images are doing numbers here, and it's nice to show my old works... so with this re-introduction post I publish 4 of my fav pics I've done (at least at this moment). CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, all are original works, fully human-made.

Hi, I'm a photographer who just moved in from Pixelfed!

I've dabbled in most genres and had a short semi-professional stint, but in recent years I've settled on capturing the beauty of nature. I have developed a penchant for bad weather and less than ideal light - there's an abundance of both here.

I'd describe my approach as "digital old school", meaning I try to get my images right in-camera.

Hope to brighten (or sometimes darken) your days with my images.

Wide angle landscape image. In the foreground we see a formation of three large rocks embedded in the ground, partly covered with moss. To the right, a leafless tree rises with its branches extending towards the center of the frame. Both rocks and tree are dark, almost silhouettes against the sky. The sky is a pale blue, with dark clouds moving in from the left, covering the sun in the center. Further in the background we see a forested range of hills.

@low@lgbtqia.space

Hello, I’m Onyx (they/them),
for most of my life, I considered myself a cis man (to be fair, I never thought about it much). In recent years I had the time and mindset to work on my psyche. First I got diagnosed with ADHD and I’m probably on the (low end) of the autism spectrum, though there is no official diagnosis. This was during the time where I asked myself “who am I?”. Almost all my life I adjusted myself and my behaviour to fit the group I was currently in. So during this – ongoing – discovery, the topic of my gender surfaced too. I never considered myself masculine, even though I dress like that, even having a full beard.
Over time, I thought about it more and more and now I don’t know whether I am cis male, trans, non-binary or maybe agender. I talked to someone recently and they asked me whether I would push a button, if this would transform me. My answer was that I probably would push it quite easily, but that I didn’t know what the result of said transformation would be. That leads me to the conclusion that cis male is probably not the right description for me.

All in all, with this account I want to see who I am.
This includes testing out my pronouns. I’m starting with “they/them”, those, and the name, are subject to change.

Aside from that, I’m a software developer from the south of Germany and I like to do sports, read and on occasion do some photography.

@LitteRatty@bookstodon.com

Hello everybody,
I'm a bit lost here, coming from "traditional" social platforms. I have no idea how this works and to top it all I'm also too shy to enter people's conversations.

So let me introduce myself: I'm a Romanian artist, I paint in oil and acrylic. I am also a voracious reader, always on the lookout for new books. I enjoy most of all historical ones - fiction and non fiction, classic literature is my comfort food, yet I'll not refuse a good mystery or thriller.

I write and get easily distracted.

I know, we ought to perform, so I write poems inconsistently.

The innocence around is gone, but not so the need to share & connect.

@paulh@cloudisland.nz

This is my more formal introduction on Cloud Island. I am a 70-something semi-retired HR professional living in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington). Currently, I am contracting to an unnamed Government Agency. I retired in 2018 after a long career at IBM and started contracting in the public sector shortly afterwards, which I have done, off and on, since. As I have become older, I have become much more left-wing and angry about the state of the world - some might even say I am 'woke'. Although I have lived in the capital for nearly 50 years, my hometown of Ōtepoti (Dunedin) still retains a warm place in my heart. I have strong Hungarian connections, through marriage, including being a Hungarian citizen. Our children are completely bi-lingual, one of our proudest achievements. I had four years (and over 11,000 posts) on mastodon.nz before moving here. So, probably an over-contributor!

Digital painting of Ivu the dryad, a woman with birch bark for skin and leaves for hair, standing in a moonlit meadow. One of her hands is a glowing ember with a flame held in the palm. The other hand sprouts a twig which holds a marshmallow over the flame.

Gouache painting of Aava, a pale-colored mermaid with black bob-cut hair, wearing a billowing pink dress. We're underwater, but not very deep - the darkness is broken by dim shafts of light from above. She's falling backwards away from the viewer and towards a gothic cathedral tower seen in the background.

Gouache painting of Miriel, a red-haired elf, sitting under a tree. In the distance behind her, the sun is setting across a lake, coloring the sky in warm tones of orange and pink. A backpack is propped up against the tree, and the surrounding ground is covered in grass, flowers, and bushes.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve"… or something.

Hello, or hello again—if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything nice.

If you think you know me by another name… I cannot argue with that… not even a little bit.

New here, and by that I mean that this is a brand new instance.

Single user GoToSocial instance, self-hosted on my own hardware; this is not my first.  It's just like that scene from the Matrix with the Architect: we just keep torching it and starting over, and we're starting to get pretty damned good at torching it.

I've had a WriteFreely instance before, and I think I might have another one here in the near future, honestly.

GED in 2011 at 17; no qualifications otherwise, at least literally on paper.

No human children; cat dad, though.

NixOS diehard on desktop/server.  The host machine for the VM for this server, as well as the VM itself, both run NixOS and always will.  Currently using Niri on the host machine and loving it.  GrapheneOS diehard on mobile.

Love projects, especially the kind that are never finished because they're never supposed to be.

Grew up in Oregon and moved to New Mexico with my family when they did.

I ride a unicycle.  Trying to learn violin.  These things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, I hope.

ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, both professionally diagnosed for the first time when I was 20-something.

My dad passed away last October.

Hello fedi, I'm Horia!

I'm a trans man and art student, currently wrapping up my bachelor studies in arts numériques at Saint-Luc. I'll be moving from to this summer to pursue a master degree in Visual Communication Design at Aalto University (and more importantly, move in with my partner). Feel free to hit me up if you're in the area and wanna hang out or have ideas for cool spots to check out!

My recent internship led me to a (moderately) deep dive into the legacy of CD-ROMs and media preservation. I'm very curious about all kinds of practices but I especially love art games and poetic web stuffs. I'm currently interested in exploring print and publications.

I have a background in drawing and I'm often walking with a sketchbook on hand so you can expect occasional scribbles from me if nothing else.

New vibes, new priorities, new ⁨⁩

I'm NaClKnight (he/him) and my links are all at SalineSolutions.lol

I'm on social media to be social. Let's chat. I'm Black (shoutout to ⁨⁩ ⁨⁩ ⁨⁩), American (born and raised in Los Angeles) socialist, straight, cis, male, and happily married. Any flirting is strictly unserious, but  some posts will be lewd, thirsty, or NSFW, especially during ⁨⁩.

I write short stories and serialized novels that mostly include Fighting, witty banter, and love, sex, or romance. Currently that means , a raunchy MMA promotion started by college students, and My Super Hot Dark Love, a romance novel about a supervillain whose takeover of a new town is impeded by a charming superhero.

I play fighting games (⁨⁩), Tactics or Soulslike RPGs, and Shooters on ⁨⁩ but I'll try just about anything. I build and sell ⁨⁩ and will always offer help or advice if you want it. Currently playing and as of this post. If you play Fighting games, let's play some casual sets.

@gary@pottering.uk

Hello, middle-aged, neurodivergent, dog servant looking for his 'Internet People', my bio tells you a bit more about me, and as I've given up the idea of a blog in favour of conversation, it's probably best if you just ask me 'stuff'. Meanwhile, here's some tags to prompt interest:

@marjon@mendeddrum.org

My fediverse home since 2018 is closing in 10 days. So I'm moving into this neighbourhood!

I'm a civil servant working in web accessibility. I love baking, cycling, nature, afternoon naps.

I read Discworld novels every night before I go to bed. Chronological order, this time. Now reading The Truth.

@Twelvebarblues@ieji.de

By way of an overdue ; I'm rather a simple soul, I mainly enjoy tinkering with , strumming and a wee bit of sitting. I'm now taking some tentative first steps into too, just to fall in with the stereotype I suppose. I'm also reading the and I'm currently about halfway through it. I detest , the , and . I love the because it reminds me of the olde worlde internet. I try to post/boost a little bit of everything and anything, including , , , , , and , without getting too mired in , although it's not easy to avoid politics when you care about and the . I'm happy to interact with everyone/anyone irrespective of creed, colour, nationality or gender/sexual preferences. In the nicest sense of the word, I really don't give a fuck what you are. I consider myself to be a floating voter of centre/left leaning persuasion. I support the notion of managed and responsibility. I would rather discuss the common ground we share and aim to respect our differences. I try to avoid fuckwits wherever I encounter them. That'll do for now although I dare say I'll edit this over time. Thanks for reading and peace out☮️

Here's an from my new home thecanadian.social, which I am excited about.
I post thoughts or pictures from places I go, but mostly from Toronto or Canada. I boost messages from my community and enjoy engaging with them, and occasionally I post obscure or humorous news or science.

I work on hardware design, and I may post about that occasionally.

@godsandcroziers@pagan.plus

Hi all - this is a new account just for my comparative mythology project on the Celtic-Christian Saints, which I've previously been sharing over on @seachaint 'til now.

"The Gods and Their Croziers" is my current passion - applying a comparative mythology model inherited from others such as "Taliesin's Map", I've been able to identify some key clusters of Gaelic and British saints who are, in fact, entirely Gods rewritten as Saints.

Indeed, almost every saint prior to 650CE (possibly later) appears to be a fictional re-writing of a Celtic mythological character. Even more interestingly, their names and locations of worship seem to frequently, perhaps usually, correspond to native epithets and associated sites.

I'm currently publishing dossiers on the God-Saints the day before their feast-days according to the Christian calendars. I try to include in each issue enough information to understand the connection, to get an idea of the function of the deity in context, and some information on names, places, animals/plants, and other dates or events that might be relevant to the god.

Anyone into or or ought to enjoy this work - some of Ireland's "missing" gods are _only_ recorded clearly as Saints, having never been written as native mythology (or only in highly fragmentary, coded form). But, with the "Key" from the Saints, we can unpack mythology that's remained obscure until now.

I hope ye'll join me in exploring this whole new frontier of Irish mythological exploration.

The Gods and their Croziers

The Gods of the Celtic pantheons have long resisted accurate identification alongside their famous counterparts in the Norse, Mediterranean, and Indo-Iranian religions. What remains might be only the garbled re-imaginings of bored Christian monks, stripped of authenticity. But what if it’s not as dismal as we thought? What if we can validate that the Irish God and Hero stories are preserved in remarkably faithful detail? And, what if there are many, many more of them hidden in plain sight, awaiting recovery? Using a framework inspired by Dumézil’s methods of comparative mythology, a slew of newly re-identified Irish and Welsh gods are already awaiting wider appreciation. It's a rich time to enjoy Celtic mythology. Inspired by this work, I’m applying the same methods to the Hagiographies of the Celtic Saints, and what I’ve found is amazing - nearly every significant Early Irish Saint is unambiguously a God of the Native Irish Pantheon, and the same seems to be true of other Celtic branches. By finding their parallel stories in native and other mythologies, we can restore them to their original identities, and better-understand the faithfully kept material we already enjoy. I’m compiling this work for a book, or perhaps a series of books. But, I want to share the work as early as I can! Join me as I explore the Comparative Mythology of the Celtic Saints, uncovering the Gods and their Croziers.

@n0madz@social.lol

Hellooooo to the fediverse (or at least this particular corner of it). I apologize in advance for my long overdue, long-winded, and no doubt embarrassing introduction.

My name is n0madz, and I like to read, run, listen to music, game on my pc, play around with linux (arch and hyprland btw), and generally explore what it means to express oneself in a digital fashion.

I'm a parent of one soon-to-be 4 year old (lil person runs circles around me on a regular basis); I lean to the far left politically and ideologically; I'm anti-racist, antifascist, and pro all things LGBTQIA. I'm generally disappointed in the current state of humanity (for reason of explanation I am sadly based in the US).

I'm generally piss poor at social media, by which I mean I lurk WAY more than I post (if this was radio, I'd be a first time caller, long time listener), but I'm making a promise to myself to try and do better (only time will tell).

Socially-wise, I used to be on the fediverse, self-hosted on a very smol corner of the interweb called wzrds.fun (RIP), and I had an alt account here in social.lol. For one reason or another, those accounts were closed and wzrds.fun shut down.

All that being said, I found that out of all the social media platforms I've tried and lost interest in, I missed my time in the fediverse, so here I am reborn and resurrected once again.

If you made it this far, (1) well done and thank you for sticking with me! and (2) please boost, favorite, and/or follow (I'll gladly follow you back as I rebuild my algo). I also strongly encourage and appreciate any and all recommendations.

P.S., you can also find me on bookwyrm (another one of my alt's that has been active without interruption, I love a good book). -> @n0madz@bookwyrm.social

Hi Fedi! :ablobcatattention:

I'm a student in and (philocomp.net) at the University of . Busy University life will make me unresponsive sometimes.

I'm a promoter (co-running ox.ogeer.org/) and developer (ogeer.org/#code-forges). I would love to increase confidence and become a long-term contributor to communities' projects.

I'm a beginner but interested in - social.coop is an example.

I also enjoy and language-learning (message me in ES or ZH_Hans), considering and protecting our natural , and music.

I love creative, diverse methods of human expression and existence. I shun prejudice, and try to widen my perspectives. I am learning robust analytical arguments via Philosophy. Respectful, critical argument with me is welcome, but if it requires triggering topics, or could tire some, please put it behind a content warning. I will try to do the same.

Hi. This blog mostly features my adorable cats, Joey and Sheena. Thank you for occasionally indulging me when I post non-feline things.

I just published my novel, Water Dogs. It's the best book about midwestern teens from the 1970s discovering punk rock and saving the universe that I've ever written. Please buy lots of copies from Barnes & Noble (or Amazon).

Hello! I'm new! I am not good at introductions. I am an ex-teacher. I homeschooled my lads who have learning differences. Married for 30 years to the most beautiful man. Always have to have something fluffy in the house (besides hubby) and these days we always have a bunny who free-ranges in our living areas and out to safe outdoor spaces. I'm chronically ill and housebound so keep myself busy with doll photography, fitness, and am self-employed as a proofreader.

Time for a new post!

Hi everyone!
I'm Eliza, a lesbian OC artist from Belgium. I mainly do illustrations and comics of my babies Celdervinn and Mihoko.

You can also hire me for your very own commission ✨ vgen.co/artbyeliza (or email)

I'd be grateful for your repost ❤️

A royal portrait painting of my OC Celdervinn as she was 16 years old. She is wearing a lilac ball dress and expensive jewellery. Her arms are elegantly crossed in front of her, one hand holding up her dress. Her look at the camera is calm and neutral. The painting is put into an intricate golden frame with ornaments in each corner.

She would never have posed or worn a dress like this, if had been up to her. She's still mad about it.

The painting has a very warm fluffy feeling to it.

Hello, world! (Or SocialBC folks) 🙂

I normally hang out over on my own server (@crispius) but I’ve been following the progress of the SocialBC and the Society of Open Social Servers of British Columbia with interest for some time. Like many, I came to Mastodon during the ‘first wave’ of the Twitter exodus and in discovering the Fediverse I found something truly special: an online space free from the influence of corporate influence and algorithmic manipulation…

should prolly do a bc life changes & so does the content on my mastodon account. im the disabled white tgirl ur mom told horror stories to u abt (bc i told her to do one after she yelled a slur at me on the street 🥰).

this acc is part boosting other ppl's voices, part mutual aid, part venting abt men & yt ppl, part informing abt transfeminism, part sw, and i think sometimes i bark? but that doesn't mean i wont bite ur arm off if u get touchy w me in dms 😘

my ✨ vibe ✨ is hardcore lesbian horrorcore erotica where a girl w a nuclear, fractured soul coos affirmations to me while digging my grave (im so far removed from tenderqueer bb xxx).

if u havent ever donated money to a trans woman, u prolly should be following me to learn why u should.

Hi hello. I'm Moxie. You may know me already, because I've been here before. I'm an overly nostalgic Millennial who just can't give up on social media, despite my best efforts.

I'm a Māori New Zealander living in the Netherlands with my (also Kiwi) husband Sam, and our two dogs Moose & Caribou. I am disabled (by chronic illness & ADHD) and underemployed, so I spend a lot of time in these parts.

I love the feeling of running my fingers across a keyboard at speed which also means I like to code & write. I'm better at the former, but mediocre at both. I am still happy to share with the world though! You can find me at moxiemoshpit.com and madmadammoxie.me.

I care about everything and tend to yap about it. My most popular topics? People (I'm a psychology graduate), politics, music, and whatever else is currently holding my attention.

@Serena@lgbtqia.space

Hello world! It is such a joy to be out and meeting all of you. Since this is a new account for a new me, here’s an !

Let’s see, where to start? I’m a girl and a woman, simultaneously a 60+ woman with white hair and a 13-year-old girl who insists she is already a woman. She is growing up fast, and I am elated that we are becoming one. i share this body with several other headmates. Rowan is mostly merged into me, but she/they still butt in occasionally. Auto (no pronouns, just Auto) is the autistic core of my being and takes care of repetitive tasks (like making coffee!), mediating between the rest of us and the pre-verbal parts of our brain, and otherwise runs things when we dissociate. There is a little fox girl who is mostly crepuscular and rarely speaks in words, but who delights in nature and cat photos. A couple of other headmates, including deadme, have been partially absorbed or archived, with the rest scattered to the psychic winds. Plurality is fun, when it isn’t like herding cats.
I am married and have two grown kids.

Um, I’m not sure what else to say about me. I’m queer and a lesbian.

I’m retired, living off of the pension and savings left to me by previous head tenants. Thank you very much, deadme, for sublimating your dysphoria into a lifetime of hard work and for letting Rowan and me take over. Deadme was Man of the Year material for sure, even if he was pretty careless with our body.

Oh, interests and stuff. I like words, being in nature, good coffee, feeling pretty, solving puzzles, playing games, meeting people (now there is something deadme would never have written!).

The rest? Well, let’s explore that together, shall we?

Journey with self hosting for personal blog and fediverse

@selfhosted

Hello, I followed the "selfhosted" instance on LemmyWorld in order to be able to talk about my experiences having them in order, without confusing criteria into Fediverse. Hoping they can be useful to others.

Current setup: Hostinger vps kvm2 plan, Debian12, YunoHost, Hostinger's docker manager installed.

Personal background: blind since birth, (I don't see), I'm mostly a computer power-user, worked and studied with ms-dos since 1989 until late 90s. Basic GNU/Linux knowledge in 2002, then interrupted in 2004.

I don't care talking about disability when discussing unrelated topics but it's necessary in this case as my needs are quite different from others.

So, I've been scared by self-hosting and have had shared hosting web sites until now. Until @_elena started self hosting her digital echosystem from scratch using YunoHost.

Due to lack of drivers I stopped with Linux on my private machine, drivers for the Braille display I had, and then the uneffective (at least for my need) screen reader capabilities on Linux's GUI based distros.

Finally in January 2026 I jumped in the dark after reading Elena Rossini's blog about YunoHost and having explored their demo pages. At the worst, I'll cancel the contract...

In the end I've managed to run WriteFreely, WordPress, CastoPod and GoToSocial, just by YunoHost; but if someone says terminal knowledge is not needed, this is a complete lie.

Where a system (such as YunoHost) can do the dirty work configuring postfix and nginx, I'll support it but it has its disadvantages: not every app can be installed through it.

For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.

A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.

Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.

My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.

Hopefully share others' experiences as well!
Updating this one: experience is evolving.

Altar prayer card for the goddess Diana. A rectangular card has a black border with parts of the Orphic hymn for Diana surrounding it as a border in white text. In the bottom right are twin arrows over a crescent moon representing her and Apollo. In the bottom left and top right are white outlined 8 point stars. Inside the border is a marble shockwave black and grey pattern with white outlining that forms an arch at the top with lining to look like columns on both sides. In the middle is a stag skull with painted antlers of a diamond and star pattern. Behind the skull are smaller 8 point stars and cloud ripples. Above the skull is a scraggly branch of queen Anne’s lace with small dots above. In the top corners are two constellations for Sirius as her hunting dogs and Roman numerals for 13 and 8 for the date of the Nemoralia festival.

Excessive doomscrolling during current world events was doing me no good, so I quietly zeroed-out this account (not the first time).

Previously I didn’t post or engage a lot, but I’ve really missed following some good accounts, Hence I have come crawling back… again 🤷‍♂️

Please be patient if I have followed, then unfollowed, then re-followed you; it is definitely a "me" problem.

For me it's very difficult to create and look after a config file on my own, it's frustrating for a sighted to miss a punctuation sign, an apostrophe, an indent. Let alone for me! A single space skipped, can crash a system.

A lie even saying that AI completely helps. It does solve some small, simple, immediate tasks but it has some mistakes as well. The so-called allucinations which create a real mess if you can rely on no personal skill.

Such as "sudo yunohost tools cert-install", or similar. AI wrote "cert-install" while the real command is "cert install"! A power user can get rid of it and correct, a beginner with no command-line knowledge, just copies, pastes, and gets scared.

My late attempt has been Madblog, a static markdown-based blogging platform with Fediverse activitypub in it, so I learned what Docker is and how it basically works. But I gave up, due to several timeouts and activitypub slow-downs. I think I'm going to use WordPress for blogging then. In case of comments it'll be more intuitive for non-fediverse folks.

Hopefully share others' experiences as well!
Updating this one: experience is evolving.

@heliomass@cosocial.ca

Well, new instance so a new is in order.

Hi, I’m Daniel. I grew up in London (England), and a series of fortunate circumstances brought me to Montreal. My day job is in software engineering (mainly DevOps these days).

My profile has more information about the kind of content I tend to post, but certainly I’ve felt at home on Mastodon since I joined back in 2017, and I’m happy to be here on CoSocial!

@electricbraindump@mementomori.social

This feels like a new start, so here we go!

Hi, I'm Megan, mid-40s woman in tech. I've got plenty of hobbies, a few of them are in the hashtags.
Newly diagnosed as being neurodivergent (AuDHD). Looking to make friends and prefer to use Mastodon for the things I love.

I'm into slow fashion, human rights, crafting, cats, music, and cult horror and sci-fi movies. My latest obsession is with snails.

@blaseblazenost@social.vivaldi.net

Hi, all! Returning to Mastodon after spending the start of this year detoxing from as much of social media.

Some of my favorite things are music (eclectic taste branching from rock, rap, and electronic), niche video games (an example would be me recently being interested in Forbidden Siren for the PS2), thrifting, philosophy, psychology, and writing.

I enjoy all of these things while also being visibly trans and queer (I identify as agender), so that makes finding people to talk about these things in person with more difficult/anxiety-inducing.

And so I'm trying to do it that way again where I have a social media account about it.

@Torithom@theforkiverse.com

Am I supposed to introduce myself and ?..I confess I have never known how to use the social internet properly and the Fediverse confuses me a bit, but I feel strongly in the need to carve out alternative social spaces on the Internet. So excuse any social faux pas on my part. I am an educator and musician in New Zealand with a passion for writing complaint letters, bringing the social sciences into everything and dreaming of a world where we radically take care of each other.

@glitcx@mastodon.art

Another re-introduction, this time after a brief hiatus.
I'm Daria, I've been on fedi since few years already. Had self-hosted instances, was on multiple smaller and bigger Mastodon servers, and now I'm back at .art.
I work in IT (mostly fullstack webdev stuff).
I'm into photography, glitch art, music. I was a music blogger/journalist for a few years, still have pretty eclectic LP/CD/digital collection and love to discover new music. I live in Poland.

Hii people of Fedi!

I'm a CS student doing programming language development (type theory in particular), assisted theorem proving and computer art as hobbies :)
I'm also interested in kernel developement, game developement, emulation, audio synthesis, and embedded systems. Generally, everything that involves programming cool stuff :3

My current plan in life is to work for a few years in the most interesting and morally good job I can find, then try to get a doctorate in type theory.

I mainly plan to post type theory, albeit at a beginner level, as well as rants about the jankiness of current computing. There is a big gap between what I feel a computer _should_ be and what it currently is, and I spend quite a lot of time thinking about how to shrink it.
If I ever manage to gather the courage, I'll post some art too.

I'm new not only to fedi but to profile-based social media in general - as opposed to forum-based. Please, tell me if I ever make any typo or grammatical mistake. I'm pretty shy online, even socially anxious, but I'd like to use this platform to affirm myself more. I'll be posting some bad art and bad takes, and that's gonna be fine... (probably..?)

I'm pleased to meet you all!

@cloudskater@bark.wolp.chat

Hi this is Cookie! I have worked as a technician in various art studios and for the past ten years. For longer than that I have made art and music. I have also done a lot of work in including performative workshops. I run an Open Source at u of toronto.

Currently I am working on a project called “Exodus Big Techius: Root to leaving Google/Apple/Microsoft for the Collective Open Source”. My other current focus is prepping for where I will be exhibiting a sound and a new art book.

For fun, I'm very into and am a member of the local spinner and weavers guild. I love hiking and native pollinator gardening. I am planning to learn and the bass clarinet this summer. I love anachronisms, synchronicities, and . I wonder about becoming a shepherd or lighthouse keeper.

Here's a photo of something swampy I knit that I feel speaks to my personality :)

A white person with long dark hair taking a selfie in full length mirror in a bathroom with poorly installed plumbing hoses on the walls. Casually modeling something they knit which is an asymmetrical top with a detached matching piece tied around the waist. Dark green and netlike with another matching, distressed long sleeve shirt underneath.

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve"… or something.

Hello, or hello again—if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything nice.

If you think you know me by another name… I cannot argue with that… not even a little bit.

New here, and by that I mean that this is a brand new instance.

Single user GoToSocial instance, self-hosted on my own hardware; this is not my first.  It's just like that scene from the Matrix with the Architect: we just keep torching it and starting over, and we're starting to get pretty damned good at torching it.

I've had a WriteFreely instance before, and I think I might have another one here in the near future, honestly.

GED in 2011 at 17; no qualifications otherwise, at least literally on paper.

No human children; cat dad, though.

NixOS diehard on desktop/server.  The host machine for the VM for this server, as well as the VM itself, both run NixOS and always will.  Currently using Niri on the host machine and loving it.  GrapheneOS diehard on mobile.

Love projects, especially the kind that are never finished because they're never supposed to be.

Grew up in Oregon and moved to New Mexico with my family when they did.

I ride a unicycle.  Trying to learn violin.  These things don't necessarily have anything to do with each other, I hope.

ADHD and Tourette Syndrome, both professionally diagnosed for the first time when I was 20-something.

My dad passed away last October.

Hello! This is one of those introduction posts, mostly because I'm incredibly pleased to have set up 'My Own Mastodon'. I'm a middle-aged dad and dog servant with a very wobbly brain and an encyclopedic knowledge of all manner of popular culture from the United Kingdom of the 1970s and 1980s. I have a large, and diverse music collection, although nowadays I mostly listen to jazz, neoclassical, ambient/electronica.

@rapuarmeija@mastodon.social

Who am I? I've always been more of a reader than a writer. Took over a year to write this, so let's see where this goes.

A language and translations related background, but then the LLMs took over. Getting nearer to half a century on this planet, so time feels ripe for new answers to that initial question.

Yes to music, books, cats, and floorball (I'm a nice person, after all), but no real understanding of computers.

Hi! i'm Grusha :)
I'm a doll, artist and musician and live in Tromsø, Norway, above the arctic circle.
I am at the moment mostly working as a DJ & musician inspired by all sounds in and coming from club culture. Nerdy about Sound Systems, all kinds of electronic music and also conceptual art. I am also a visual artist, something I want to get back to sometime soon.. I also love philosophy btw but don't have much time for it lately bc of working but love talking about it :)<3

@Eric_ours_polaire@gayfr.social

🇫🇷 Mastodon est ma première expérience de réseau social. Je n'y cherchais rien de spécial et j'y ai trouvé en presque deux ans de présence, quelques belles personnes avec qui échanger et partager.

Un mot sur le MSM accolé à mon prénom. Cela n'a rien de sexuel, il s'agit simplement de l'abréviation télégraphique de la gare proche de mon domicile et du dépôt dans lequel j'ai terminé ma carrière. Chaque gare belge, ou presque en possède un. La première lettre le M fait référence à l'ancienne compagnie ferroviaire du XIXe siècle Grand Central Belge et les deux suivantes symbolisent Saint-Mard. La gare aujourd'hui s'appelle Virton mais elle est physiquement sur l'ancienne commune de Saint-Mard. Elle a longtemps porté le nom de Virton-Saint-Mard. Si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur les codes télégraphiques : nmbs.adlibhosting.com/Content/

Pour le reste, je suis un jeune retraité des chemins de fer et mes hobbies sont :

* les chemins de fer (leur histoire, la technique, ...) et autres véhicules sur rail
* la randonnée
* la photographie amateur
* le dessin et créer des bandes dessinées
* la lecture
* la philosophie et les religions
* la nature
* les sciences et l'astronomie

Voilà pour l'essentiel car e suis curieux de tout!

Je fais partie du spectre LGBTQIA+ et me situe plus vers le A que vers le G.

Poissons, de signe astrologique, je coche quasi toutes les cases (les bonnes, comme les mauvaises).

J'aime la courtoisie, le respect, l'échange constructif, celles et ceux qui respectent et prennent soin de la nature.

Je n'aime pas l'arrogance, l'irrespect, le manque d'empathie et celles/ceux qui jettent leurs crasses dans la nature!

Ici principalement pour partager des photos de randonnées, de nature, de trains, de visites culturelles ou autres, pour me distraire et pour montrer et voir que malgré toute la laideur de notre société actuelle, il y a aussi beaucoup de belles choses.

Je ne parle pas de politique et filtre et à la limite bloque sur ces sujets car le combat, à mes yeux, se fait dans le monde réel et pas à coup d'indignation sur les réseaux sociaux.

Si votre compte ne comporte que des messages sur la thématique politique, il y a peu de chance que j'accepte votre requête d'abonnement. La même chose vaut pour les profils vides et je bloque systématiquement les bots qui boostent des messages.

Je suis ouvert à toutes et tous tant que ça reste respectueux. Je préfère une petite communauté où il y a de vrais échanges qu'une masse d'abonnés avec qui il ne se passe rien.

Merci à vous qui me suivez et qui interagissez, cela compte pour moi!

My goal is to figure out how I can bring gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

I have been here a couple years but never wrote one of these! I'm a GenX nonprofit & post secondary ed worker, craft maker, dog walker, food grower, book reader & occasional writer & mandolin player. I volunteer at my local SPCA & post regular dog content as well as political rants, nature photos & pop culture observations. I retweet, a lot, to give intriguing ideas, beautiful art & cool people more exposure & you can too! Fascists can't win if we take care of each other❤️

hello, worl-- err.. FEDIVERSE! my first day!

2‑ish months ago, i was contemplating how much i do and DON’T know about cyber security, web dev, devops, etc. those thoughts led to a severe reality‑check / mid‑life‑crisis 😅 so i began a one‑man cyber‑crusade to reclaim my digital privacy, security, freedom and sovereignty, and how one protects and maintains all. along my travels mid‑february, et voila the fediverse! w00t w00t!

Hi! i'm Grusha :)
I'm a doll, artist and musician and live in Tromsø, Norway, above the arctic circle.
I am at the moment mostly working as a DJ & musician inspired by all sounds in and coming from club culture. Nerdy about Sound Systems, all kinds of electronic music and also conceptual art.

@HumanResources@indieweb.social

: I work in tech, where it's critical to maintain a milquetoast persona demonstrating unbridled enthusiasm for whatever we're supposed to be excited about now—be it Rust, autonomous AI agents, or the latest framework for not learning CSS. Not a fan of the tech industry, but I really like my job, so I'm staying anonymous to create professional space. Interested in the Fediverse, infosec, consumer privacy, API design, psychology, music, art, literature, philosophy, and humor.

@haggersnash@cosocial.ca


Originally from New Zealand, I’ve lived in Canada for the last 30+ years (approx. half my life). Dual citizenship. Love my downtown Hamilton neighbourhood for its diversity, small businesses, and left-leaning politics. Car-less since May 2022, I get around by walking, cycling, transit, or occasional car-share for longer/larger errands. Long career in Information Technology, now retired. My main interests are cooking (omnivorous, but increasingly vegetarian) and coffee roasting.

Greetings! I have just made a safe, green landing at veganism.social :vegan:

I have been on a self evolution journey over the last several years where I have learned, unlearned, and re-learned SO MUCH.

I enjoy music festivals, hiking, camping, road trips, and laughing until I'm in tears 😂 I love artsy movies, vinyl collecting, vegan food creations, and experiencing mind blowing music.

The Fediverse has changed my life in unimaginable ways. I'm grateful I stumbled into this community.

@hennytheboat@mementomori.social

Hello, I'm Henrietta and I'm a boat. More precisely, a Nordic Folkboat. Designed by a Swedish committee, built by a Finnish boatyard. I live in Helsinki and I like to swim in the Gulf of Finland. I came here to post bad jokes and share experiences and imaginings from a wooden boat's perspective. First of all, I want to acknowledge that wood belongs primarily in the forest, just like wolves, elk, and flying squirrels. However, moderate and considered cutting of trees may sometimes be just fine, because wood can then continue its life as a boat. In contrast, there is no reason to cut down a wolf, elk, or flying squirrel, since there are no wolf-, elk-, or flying squirrel-boats.

@Kantikainen@mementomori.social

Non niin. Aikaisemmin olin niin käsi fediversen kanssa että laitoin tilit mastodon.socialiin. Eihän se 500 merkin raja riitä mihinkään Suomen kielen kanssa! Semmoiset yleiset sanat kuin "kolmivaihdevaihtovirtakilovattituntimittari" syö kaiken tilan! Joten jos joku seuraili aijemmin ja ihmettelee minne hävisin niin täällä nyt tuuttaillaan mementomorin.social kautta.

Olen Joensuulainen Vasemmisto aktiivi. Korkeasti koulutettu humanisti josta tuli onnellinen duunari...toistaiseksi ainakin.

Pääosin tämän kautta ajattelin tuuttailla politiikkaa tai yhteiskunnallisia asioita. Kai sitä tulee joskus kevenneltyäkin ja jaettua muutakin. Varsinkin jos kerran omistaa ison karvaisen koiran joka syö liikaa ja yrittää joka kevät tuhota puutarhaa niin silloin kai se lukee jo säännöissä että koirakuvia on PAKKO jakaa :doge:

Maailman ja kotimaan meno hirvittää:

kansainvälilnen politiikka - suurvallat sekoilee!

Suomen politiikka - oikeistotaloususkovaiset sekoilee!

Ympäristö - kapitalistit kaataa ja tappaa kaiken!

Internet - tekoälyt ja techbro tyypit sekoilee!

Mutta apatiaan en alistu! Uskon vahvasti sanontaan:
"Tuhon aikaan täytyy luoda jotakin" Tiedän että Vasemmistolla on vaihtoehto. Tiedän myös että hyvin suuri osa meistä alkaa ajatella samoin. Entä jos kokeiltaisiin jotain muuta välissä?

Alan olla sen verran vanha milleniaali että muistan kun kaupallinen some oli vielä hyvä....tai oikeammin sanottuna ei vielä niin paska. Niinpä fediversessä näen sosiaalisen viestinnän järkevän tulevaisuuden ja vaihtoehdon. Kotona pyöriin linux mint koneet ja uusin windows minkä olen asentanut on XP retropeli koneeseen. Puhelimena Fairphone mistä google sai kenkää ja äkkiä!

Inhoa generatiivista tekoälyä! Analyyttinen tekoäly voi oikeasti toimia tehokkaana työkaluna. Mutta jätetään luominen, ajattelu ja taide IHMISILLE ja IHMISTEN työlle!

Tämmöisä. Morjensta kaikille. Kaikkea mitä kirjoitan saa ja tuleekin kommentoida ja kyseenalaistaa. En ole edes oman elämäni messias. Ainoastaan vähän lukihäröinen joka haluaa parantaa asioita.

I'm Nemin, a programmer from Hungary. I first became interested in coding at around age eight, when my late grandfather lent me his Enterprise 128k and a wonderful little book, that taught BASIC in a way even kids could easily grasp.

Off-work I'm interested in , the , and a niche series from the '90. When I'm not bashing keys, I enjoy a lot.

@purplekitty@app.wafrn.net

hi! my name is annabel, my pronouns are she/they. i'm here from tumblr, where my username is tanyafreemont (or perhaps lesbiansamtyler depending on where you know me from). you might know me for my skullify browser extension, which covers tumblr in skulls (skullify for wafrn when…?).

i thought i'd join wafrn because even though i've been on tumblr long enough to see it live through many "death knolls", it's nice to have a change of pace on another platform and wafrn seems really cool. i was on cohost before it shut down (rip my beautiful girl) and it inspired me to explore more sites like this. i really love the indie web and i also really love tumblr so this is totally my kind of thing.

i'll summarise my interests:

  • cats (i have one called artie, i love him so much)
  • computers (favourites are panasonic cf-w4 & cf-62, also any thinkpad ever. i have a thinkpad e560 dualbooting windows 7 pro and linux mint xfce 21.4)
  • many many tv shows. my absolute favourites ever are life on mars/ashes to ashes and good omens, i'd say. i also love bbc ghosts (i've been to button house!), our flag means death (need to rewatch this so bad), don't hug me i'm scared (i went batshit mental when the c4 show came out), bbc merlin (every so often i just… remember that the finale was a real thing that aired on tv and not some fic i read), the great british sewing bee (i lock in so hard for this every year), and taskmaster (i <3 comedy). i've also watched supernatural. i'm watching interview with the vampire rn and LOVING it.
  • team starkid: i've loved this group since i was eleven years old and absolutely going through it. i've been really lucky to see them live - i saw darren/joey/lauren at the london palladium on 15.10.2023, starkid innit on 12.05.2024, i can't believe it's been a little less than a year on 27.04.2025, and i'll be seeing the guy who didn't like musicals on the west end on 26.05.2026
  • shoot from the hip: i found out about them in december 2024, but i got heavily into them in december 2025 because i booked to go and see them live on a whim and it altered me fundamentally (in the interval i was sitting in my seat borderline shaking messaging every single person i knew that i could feel myself becoming more and more abnormal and that they needed to get into this asap). as i live not too far from london (£10 return on the train with my railcard), i've seen them quite a lot of times in quite a short span of time - 06.12.2025, 22.02.2026, 14.03.2026, and i'm sure there are more to come (i'm looking to book 16.05.2026, and i'm going to 04.10.2026).
  • live theatre and comedy in general! i go to quite a lot of shows and i love the whole experience - not just the show itself, but getting to meet so many people has been quite life-changing for me.
  • chappell roan: i LOVE chappell roan! i was a couple of months late to the party but when i did listen to her it really altered me greatly. my second listen of good luck babe made me break down in tears, not because of the lyrics or anything but just because i guess i couldn't process how a song can be so GOOD. i can hardly watch a video of her performing without crying, it's actually insane, i can't get over what an insanely good performer she is. i saw her at reading festival on 22.08.2025 and i'm not even joking when i said i hardly made it out of the arena.
  • my chemical romance: AGHH i love mcr so much. comparatively to a lot of fans i had my mcr awakening quite late i think but i did walk into that summer blonde and leave it with purple hair. i'm seeing them at wembley on 11.07.2026 and i am so fucking scared
  • dan and phil: i was a phan by proxy for YEARS but then after the hard launch i bit the bullet and finally joined the ranks. & now i have their calendar on my wall <3

i think that's all for now. you can find my personal website here, where i'll probably write a bit more in depth about my interests, although there's not loads there yet. hoping to make some friends on here so don't be shy about saying hello if we share any interests (or just if you want to make a friend really). bye!

Hi, I'm Thomas - new here and possibly moving from Threads because it's driving me nuts.

Economically left and socially liberal. Was a member of the Lib Dems but didn't think they took a hard enough stance against transphobia. So erm, maybe I'll join the Greens, I don't know.

Hello fediverse! I am finally getting around to doing an introduction post! I have been on this server since 2023, so feel free to click through to the Media tab on my profile to check out my interests.

My day job is publicly funded biomedical research. Otherwise, I am avidly pursuing outdoors activity such as hiking and fly fishing. In the cold dark months, I make due with fly tying and a couple of aquariums. In all seasons, I drink loose leaf tea and try to stay on top of python for scientific or otherwise high performance computing. In 2026, I am looking forward to getting my fitness journey back on track and getting back into the woods after some injuries.

Please give this introduction a boost!

Hello everyone! After a long search for more genuinely social media, I've finally made my way into the Fediverse. I'm an interdisciplinary artist based between Munich and Sicily. Working across canvases, works on paper, room installations and animation, I explore drawing as a form of visual storytelling across a broad spectrum of media. Hoping to connect with some familiar faces from Instagram and find new ones here. 🌍 🧑‍🎨 🫶

My name is Moog, but everyone calls me "gay". I'm a 21 year old man who sold his mother for a train ticket to Netherlands for a generous price of wan doler.

I have a PhD in fedimeta and a Master's in the Disc Horse.

I've been specializing in Deutsche Bahn delay stock market ever since I left my home country. In a span of 2 years I made 1 tillian euros total, which I have invested into making the life of god-fearing, VVD-voting middle class Dutch families from the Randstad area miserable.

My hobbies include urinating into OpenAI's datacenters responsible for generating images, which resulted in the infamous "AI piss filter", bestowing VAC bans on Russian TF2 players who main Heavy on behalf of Gabe Newell, and setting off tactical nukes onto Square Enix's headquarters as a reminder for them to develop a decent update for Final Fantasy XIV.

I have defeated Sam Altman on Pokemon Showdown in the Anything Goes [Gen 6] format, I called Charlie Kirk an Arceus spammer and ragebaited him into getting permabanned.

I also invented the wheel btw. And I do not use Arch.

Salut ! Je suis sur Masto depuis quelques années mais l’envie m’a pris de faire un compte tout neuf sur une nouvelle instance ☀️

En général je poste peu, mais je repouet pas mal de trucs sur l’antispécisme et d’autres luttes, des memes ou du ronchonnement contre les IA génératives.

Dans la vie j’habite à Grenoble, je joue de la guitare dans un groupe de noise punk, j’aime me promener en montagne, me déplacer à vélo, lire de la science fiction et cuisiner des véganeries.

Je fais aussi un thèse en sociologie mais j’aime bien séparer le travail du reste donc j’ai un autre compte pour ça :)

@brib@bribstodon.xyz

Hi, I'm brib. I've recently done a bunch of instancehopping but I'm liking this #GoToSocial instance thing so I think I might stick around here for a while.

In case the rampant self-hosting doesn't make it obvious, I'm a tech worker, or at least I would be if the tech industry wasn't quite so evil. In the meantime I'm looking for work. #FediHire me if you want someone who likes tinkering with servers and has achieved a better uptime over February than Amazon or Claude.

I draw sometimes (but haven't done this in a while), I write sometimes (and got Low Spoons Day endorsed by @WeirdWriter !), I jump between projects like the #AuDHD-er I am, and... yeah. I don't know where my time goes, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might be shitposting on here.

I'm looking to meet fellow queerdos and #plural folk and neurodivergent peeps and techies who are just as fed up of AI bullshit as myself. Please say hi if we seem to vibe 😀 .

Hi there, Fediverse! I'm Koichi.

I'm a Japanese Data Science student in the U.S, and an Open Source enthusiast. I'd like to share my project progress and my writing. Hope to connect with others who share the same interest. I'm interested in and learning Zig, ML, Linux, Nix/NixOS, and RiverWM. NixOS is pretty tough, but I think I need to keep learning patiently. It's pretty fun and at least working. Look forward to sharing more!

hey everyone! i'm Seán, an interrelational artist currently living in the Salish Sea region ~ east of míqәn, beside maple & pine, near singing robins and Merlin's barrow.

i previously lived at sx̣ʷət̕č̕əlíéw̕txʷ with my partner Kate (~wingy), where we both also joined the Scuttleverse and met many lovely, inspiring butts, such as @glyph, @cblgh, & i'm sure others who've landed here @,,

i try to find creative ways of weaving together art, death, ecology, technology, and autonomy through various community projects & events. i also have an introspective art practice that ebbs and flows.

mostly, i make a lot of mistakes and do my best to learn from them.

feeling very honoured and happy to join merveilles.town. i've never given the fediverse a proper go, and haven't socially networked online much since wandering away from ssb several years ago (and shedding my old shell). i do spend time at special.fish though!

looking forward to meeting other townsfolk here and getting to know this region of the web better :^)

if i disappear for a while, i'm likely just resting and reorienting in my spider sanctuary 🕷️

Greetings everyone. This is my second attempt here on Mastodon. I suppose another post is in order. I had a glitch with the first account and I'm starting over. Fingers crossed.

I'm against mass surveillance. I believe privacy matters. Corporations have a deplorable habit of taking our privacy away piece by piece, so it's up to us to take it back.

I'm not as technically inclined as most here. I believe knowledge is power, my opinions are not always agreeable to many, and I boost things I find interesting.

Because I missed , (and don't have a cat at this time), please accept this painting by Diane Irvine Armitage as my offering.

Hi, I'm Ridley!

I think a lot about building healthier online communities. I'm interested in distributed computing, consent-focused design, privacy, and object capability programming.

I am currently working on a Dart-based implementation of ocapn.org which I hope will make it easier to create distributed and federated applications.

I am very grateful to have @nlnet sponsoring some of this work.

Hello! :3 I'm Nor, a cosplayer of almost 4 years now, who's residing in Finland. Torilla tavataan :3

I mainly cosplay characters from series and games that I relate to a lot, like Scaramouche from Genshin Impact in this instance.

This project has been in the works for many years now, and I still intend to cosplay more of Scaramouche because I want to share his story with everyone. So I hope you look forward to seeing more of him on my feed ^^

I've also cosplayed from Alien Stage, and most recently from The Summer Hikaru Died. :3

I'm slowly going to start posting here from now on because I'm trying to find a cosplay community outside of the Gram T-T

Feel free to share this and I hope to find more cosplayers on here <3

A Scaramouche cosplayer poses with arms crossed over each other in the shape of an "x", their open hands framing their face. They are surrounded by a glowing red smoke-like background with red particles in the air. Behind them are a bunch of curvy tubes that encase a light blue-violet liquid with white particles. The cosplayer's expression is solemn and their gaze piercing.

Va y avoir plusieurs séries en parallèle, à un rythme pas encore très bien défini mais idéalement assez régulier et pas trop espacé (on verra bien ce que ça donne en vrai...).

As I am planning to post a lot here about Animal Crossing, an Animal Crossing specific introduction is in order so I can pin it!

Meet my Resident Representative. Matt from the amazing island of Moduland. The starter fruit was peaches and, of course, my title is "Sleepless Father."

This is an older islander's Passport Photo to showing them in the fancy Aldi Ugly Christmas Sweater (MO-KN99-MHKX-XLC1). Will replace this with one with a newer islander photo later.

Check out the alt text and the photo for more info.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons screenshot of the passport screen. On the left is an image of a sleepy Resident Rep (bald, bearded light skinned human wearing an Aldi themed ugly Christmas sweater in front of a Christmas tree and pile of presents). Details listed in text on the right include - catch phrase of "Howdy y'all!" Island name: Moduland. Starter Fruit: Peaches. Title of "Sleepless Father."
Name: Matt
A picture of a crab is next to the words "Born June 29th"

In a smaller box below it reads:
Creator ID: MA-7857-4787-5792
Dream Address: DA-0198-8300-5284
HHN ID: RA-0817-6082-1761

In the lower left hand corner, it reads, "Reg. April 15th, 2020."

Hello, I'm new here, never used Twitter and still figuring this out. I'm currently obsessed with extracting myself from US big tech and building a quieter, more sovereign digital life. Also completely overwhelmed by the state of the world, like everyone else. Hoping this can be a small corner that feels a little safer.

@Meredith@pouet.chapril.org

Totalement déclassée par ce monde je viens sur pouet.chapril pour essayer de me tenir informée de la vie quotidienne des jeunes humains et un peu de tech. Je mange des pizzas et je bois du thé vert. Je ne tricote pas et je n'ai pas de chat.

@vico@rivals.space

Bonjour, on m'a dit qu'il fallait se présenter en arrivant alors je m'exécute 🤓 Je m'appelle Vic, actuellement je suis développeuse mais avant ça j'ai travaillé quelques années dans le secteur associatif. J'aime autant parler de machines qui font bip boup que de politique, de bouquins ou de ciné (je m'intéresse de plus en plus aux films d'horreurs et je prends volontiers les reco). Sur mon temps libre je fais de la bagarre sur patins à roulettes (aka le roller derby) et j'essaie vaguement de faire pousser des trucs dans un jardin partagé.
Je contribue pas ou peu sur les RS en général mais peut-être que Mastodon me donnera envie de participer un peu plus !

@daneanthonybroderick@mastodon.social

They say everyone has a story;

but they didn't say it was of epic, multidimensional proportions—

nor that with conscious, multidimensional awareness comes a greater responsibility,

not only for mankind, but also for her future and legacy.

@MelodicDinosaur@cupoftea.social

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.

I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.

Take care out there :)

An updated after giving it some more thought ...

I'm Matt, an artist and musician based in Toronto/Tkaronto. I work in and around computation, thinking about its histories, politics, culture, and computation-as-material. My main efforts right now are around computational poetics, expanded sculpture, and net art. I believe computers could be something different in the world, and try to embody that in my work and life.

I make music mainly as New Tendencies, but sometimes under other names and used to play in a number of punk/post-punk bands in addition to my more experimental/electronic/computer music and sound art. I also have a very very small label/press called <blink>.

I live with my partner of over 20 years and a 10 year old Bengal cat named Iggy (because she's a real wild child).

My online life goes back to around 1992 when I started calling BBS's, and running one... then soon after getting an internet connection and basically living on IRC where I got into the demo/tracker scene and started making computer music.

Also love sci-fi, video games, Hackers (1995), bad reality tv, cocktails...

Introduction post!

I make fantasy & sci-fi illustration, all digital. Lots of it involves dragons, and most of it is creature concept art. 🐉

You can find my other socials here, if interested:
sites.google.com/view/sarah-dr

Creature Concept: Greek Chimera

A pale tan, muscular humanoid lion woman with goat's legs hangs upheld by her long snake tail, which ends with the horned head of a European Adder. The adder breathes smoke, and the lion hold a streaming fireball in her left hand. The other hand is upraised in a flex. The snake tail is covered in polished bronze jewelry, and the lion portion wears nothing but a shawl of goat hide, the back of which has 2 horned goat skulls stitched onto it.

Creature Concept: Northern Dragon

A white dragon sits up on a snowy tundra plain. Black rocks litter the ground, and grey clouds cover the skies, which are grey with blizzard clouds. Beneath the dragon's front claw is a human skull.

The dragon has folded pterodactyl-like wings with hairy claws for fingers. Its back legs are also fluffy, and look much like the talons of a snowy owl. 3 horns grow from the dragon's head; 2 short ones from the back, and 1 longer, forked one from the center. The tail ends in a triangular barb made from the same material as the horns, and sensory bristles stick out from the length of the tail like whiskers. Similar whiskers, only shorter, are found on the cheeks and the tips of the ears.

Illustration: Stormfront (Sci-fi Art)

Illustration of a pale orange stone desert, with mountains in the background. Behind the mountains looms a churning, deep blue stormfront, which is split by a single bolt of lightning that reaches to a nearby floating island, and from there to the nearest peak. Dust blows violently across the landscape in front of the storm, and in the foreground, two dragonfly-like mechs perch on some eroded rock formations. They have scrap solar panels for wings, and twin cockpits for eyes.

Two characters stand on top of the nearest mech; one sitting upon the wing rotator joint, and the other looking towards the storm through a pair of binoculars. In the further mech, the pilots remain in the eyeball cockpits. One appears to be viewing a holographic display within the glass, and the other is looking over his shoulder, eyes shaded, at the storm.

Otherwise unfortunately we see that, on a small instance like ours, most new users never get past that initial empty feed.

@gooseliketyping@corteximplant.com

I am a human being. I have a body, and I love that I do, no matter how much trouble it gives me. I modify it as needed.

I stay in the shadows because I am sick of feeding the machine, sick of being data to ingest, label, categorize, and steal. Yes, I am a stereotype, a queer anarchist woman who doesn't like labels. I don't need explanation, I am embodied, I am in "this here".

I still am in the shared virtual everywhere. Seeing it getting abused doesn't make me stop loving what it can be.

I spend so much time being tired that I forget who I am. I always wake back up, with stories and images and code.

I want human connection. I want to make sure everyone knows they're loved and worthy.

I am protective of wetlands. My safe quiet place growing up was a small wetland with disused hiking paths. It's better maintained now, and I live elsewhere.

I collect books about Mesopotamia. I read them, too.

When in doubt, I trust Zhuang Zi.

If you need to know me, we will find each other. It's much more difficult to find me a second time.

Hello, Fediverse 👋

I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with values-led businesses.

I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.

Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

Hello Fedi! I'm finally writing my post after being a lurker for years (2022 is when I made my first account). I've never really been active on any social media, but Mastodon is unique and I'd like to experience the sense of community that it offers.

A bit about me! I live in a fairly small town in on Treaty 4 land. I enjoy , , and playing . I am collecting and digitizing CDs which I enjoy through a modest, self hosted Jellyfin server. I gave a shot several years ago and have since been in love with the principles of and . Recently I've been working to improve in my area to make it a more viable option for others in my community.

I'm a proud democratic socialist, and I believe in the project of universal liberation. I support the rights of , the community, and . I oppose and believe that we once again find ourselves at the crossroads of and barbarism. Despite how grim everything looks now, I see enough good in the world to remain optimistic for the future. This is one place in particular that brings me hope. Y'all are cool here 👍

Johannes Karkia syntyi korona-aikana modulaarisyntetisaattorikaninkoloon sukeltamisen seurauksena. Eurorack- ja muilla syntetisaattoreilla tehtyä elektro-tekno-ambient-industrialia tms. Toinen puolisko Karkia Walo -runomusiikkiduosta @aikako kanssa. Mastodoniin tilin tekeminen lienee yritys lähteä vapauttamaan tätäkin projektia paskoontuneiden kaupallisten alustojen ikeen alta.

Johannes Karkia was born during the lockdowns as a result of diving down the modular synth rabbit hole. Elecro/techno/ambient/industrial made on eurorack modular synthesizers. Also half of the Karkia Walo poetry music duo with @aikako. Coming here is an attempt to start freeing this project from under the yoke of enshittified commercial platforms.

A mixed media painting inspired by the classic game The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Link stands at the edge of a grassy cliff, looking up at Ganon's Tower in the distance. His sword surges with energy. The Dark World's mountains are jagged and pointy, the trees are dead with twisted branches, lit by an eerie green light. The clouds swirl and form the visage of Ganon himself, laughing maniacally.

Drawn and painted with casein, gouache, and calligraphy ink.

We see the protagonist from behind as various creatures from the game form in front of him. A bat, a slime monster, a mutated rat, a mutated bear, and two humanoid mutants all approach menacingly.

A black and white illustration of a ghost rising from the grave, out for an early morning stroll. The ghost is a woman in tattered Victorian clothing, her half-decayed flesh revealing her skull, while her clothes and hair blow in the wind. The graveyard is dilapidated with grave stones every which way in the distance and an old tree whose branches hang over the scene.

Hi all. I’m Adam (adenoz), and this is my first time on the Fediverse.

I’m an Australian data professional, and I’m typically always working on at least one side project at any one time. I won’t be writing about my $work, but I will happily write about my various side projects and interests.

I really enjoy working with and as well as finding ways to use and tools written in rust. I have a blog built with where I’ll keep writing longer form things.

I like keeping up with global events and geopolitical related matters. I especially like combining those themes with data. Simple examples of interesting things include GDELT, news text like in Factiva, and Google Trends data.

At the moment, I’m writing a native mac app that will be a query and analytics studio. That’s all I have for now on that, though more will come in due course.

I like , using and , as well as the great software on . My current favourite IDE is . Sometimes (often?), I’m torn between Linux and Mac for very different reasons.

I’m now rambling, so I’ll stop there for now.

I'm rogi.
I have a 2014 ThinkPad. I run a blog with €5/month. Zero cloud.

I read privacy policies so you don't have to.

Last month: an AI had a 24KB psychological profile built from my conversations. Last week: my passport went through 17 US companies just to get a LinkedIn badge. Nobody mentioned that.

That's what I write about. Not paranoia, just what's actually in the documents.

I am back to Mastodon!
After I ran my own instance for a while and then using threads for some bizarre reason, I am back to Nerdculture.de ♥️

But I lost all my old followers in the process (though I thought I did everything right). Well, this is a fresh start then!

I am Half Korean, Half German, based and born in Berlin, and I talk a lot about food. I work as a Technical Artist / 2D Animator.

You might see toots related to my array of hobbies like making music, crafting and painting miniatures, pen&paper and boardgames, video games...
And yes, also political posts.

Sometimes English, sometimes German and sometimes Korean.

Nice to meet you :blobhyperwubbel:

@labrezza@mastodon.bida.im

🇬🇧 INTRO
I'm an English teacher in Italian state schools and I've been on the fediverse for at least 7-8 years, during which I have moved instance twice (this is my my third).

I knit :knitting:, read Tarot 🃏 (mainly for myself), I love my garden :_earth:, I feel a little buddhist ☸️ and a little something else altogether ☯️, I've been vegan and antispeciesist for the past 12 years :vegan:

I take part in eco-veg-transfemminist assemblies :anartrans_symbol: trying to change this shitty world we live in. I swing between total despair and the willingness to put my energies to make things a little better.

Moby Dick :betty: is my favourite book, and I generally enjoy 19the century US literature.

I've had a blog since I was about 20.

#introduction cool2boost

helo. i am crv (croatian for a worm). on fedi since mid-2023, more active since 2024. i am from poland and i am stupid

decided to make a new acc in order to share more meaningful stuff and try to talk with new people, but i won't be surprised if i end up mainly shitposting in polish and interacting with ppl i already know. i mean that's cool, but maybe i should talk with more ppl. idk. could be interesting, could be awful.

i like linguistics and reading bout video games. used to write quite a lot bout them some years ago, but not a lot of that was valuable. i hate video games. would really like to design one at some point. would also like to properly draw and learn to make music and 3d shit. have some kind of an it education but i know far (*far*) less than any person that is actually interested in this stuff.

mentally ill and it hinders me quite a bit. but also just stupid and lazy and a fucking cunt, standard fare. currently a neet

i hate english!!!

I'm new(ish) here so "hello". I work in IT but used to be a traditional builder and am always happiest working with my hands and crafting things. I have multiple enthusiasms including art, and printmaking, sculpture (pottery, stone, cement, wire, wood, anything), designing and building things, gardening and bonsai. Here's some pics to try and give a flavour of the kind of things I get up to.

Hello fediverse people 👋

Was asked to please write an post so here goes! May revise later.

Dev of Konform Browser here. This started as a personal fork; turned into a passion project; and now the time has come to try get more people involved and using it. It's still a relatively young project and only been shipping publicly "GA" as of 2026. As dev/maintainer have been working with browser/webapp security for many years and with age grown increasingly opinionated about many of the things manifesting as differentiating factors in Konform Browser. Here's hoping both to serve those with similar thoughts and be part of making these ideas more recognized.

Following accounts with related interests and posting relevant content, as we/I try to find a place for the project here on the fedis. Pleased to meet you!

@NicolasConstant@cosocial.ca

So here is my new !

I'm a Fedizen since April 2017 where my handle was hosted on the mastodon.partipirate.org instance, before migrating to my own self-hosted (social.nicolas-constant.com) one in 2019.

I love many things, from developing software to photography, usually while listening to black metal.

I do have other personal thematic accounts, like Pixelfed @NicolasConstant@pixelfed.social or Quolibet (french poetry) @nicolas_constant but this one will be the more "generalist" one! 😉

@spencexyz@theforkiverse.com

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

My goal is to figure out how I can bring gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.

Bien le bonjour, Mastodon !
J'aime dessiner et faire de la BD. J'essaie de mener à terme un projet de fanzine. Je suis avant tout ici pour montrer ce que je fais et voir ce que font les autres. Je me passionne aussi pour les sciences naturelles, l'écologie, les sciences sociales, les légendes urbaines bizarres d'Internet, la langue et la culture yiddish...
J'espère pouvoir rencontrer des gens qui s'intéressent aux mêmes choses !

Time for a new post to pin: I am Maruno Ulfdrengr, an autistic Non-Binary/Enby furry from The Netherlands, and you will often see my companion plushie Zwarte Woef on this account too! As a fellow wolf they understand me well and help me go out on adventures as my autism support. :)

I am also a developer doing a lot in Python for my work and MicroPython at home combined with a lot of electronics tinkering and home automation as a hobby.

Spiritually I consider myself a (Norse) heathen, more connected with nature and the stories of the old world. I am however a city dweller normally and wish I could spend more of my time and attention to that. Though I listen to a lot of related folk music, leaning on the metal variety.

Hi! I'm so here's my

I'm joining Mastodon as part of my Year of Small Bets. I'm looking to connect with others about nature, tech, science, philosophy, travel. I love to learn.

I'm married with four kids and live in Virginia, USA. I build low-latency and scalable technical platforms for high traffic e-commerce websites. I used to be a geologist. Now in my late 40's, I'm looking to combine my technical background with promoting better understanding and stewardship of the Earth.

I just launched a website where I am sharing writing and other creations publicly for the first time.

Raphus seems like a nice home - kind, smart folks who share some of my interests. I look forward to building a shared experience together.

Hello people. I'm Ari, although I'm better known by my nick APz or apzpins in the social media. This is my pinball and retrogaming account.

I'm an IT guy by day, dedicating my free time to keep alive. My hobby has turned from owning a single game at home to an full of them over the years. Originally a very active tournament player, but in the past years I've been leaning more and more to the restoration and maintenance of the games. I especially love early solid state pins.

I'm a very -spirited person, often having to come up with creative ways to fix something that's been long obsolete. I do a lot of , tabletop and 'ing, among other things.

In addition to pinball machines, I'm into mechanical and video arcade games, , owning plenty of machines like Commodores, Ataris, PCs and old servers.

I run a instance to archive my video projects at video.apz.fi/

I mostly post in English, but I'll reply in other languages where I can, I can do and conversational .

I love animals and I often post pictures of my whisker faces.

@teemuki@social.fediversumi.fi

I decided to fire up my personal instance again after a little hiatus, so I guess it's time for another #Introduction. I've been on the #Fediverse since late 2022. I'd never had much of a social media presence before that, but seeing the accelerating #Enshittification of the social web, I felt I had to get involved somehow. So, here I am, doing my small bit for the #OpenWeb by learning about the technology, by advocating for it and by simply trying to be an active member of the #Community. I'll be using this account to keep close tabs on the latest developments and discussions happening within this space. You can expect lots of boosts once I get my home feed properly populated.

@naturepunk@ecoevo.social

I suppose I need one of those introductory posts. I'm Steve (m, GenX, AuHD, arthritic, unemployed) and I used to use Mastodon as sparkes@mib.contact, twitter as @steve_parkes and lots of people in the computing, games dev and maker community know me as sparkes.

Part way through a bit of a burnout that ended up with returning to unemployment back in September here I'll mostly moan about politics and boost nice things with some of my own work included as a spicy afterthought.

Una extraña fuerza digital me impidió pasar a esta dimensión por la puerta habitual, así que me creé esta otra. Como no soy una vampira no necesito permiso para entrar, solo una mijita de picaresca, malicia y ganas de chafardear.

Esta será la puertecita de los perretes y los gaticos, la trasera, porque a veces entrar por detrás gusta más.

Stop male shorts.

Randy again … I have two long-term projects in progress:

• my studio has been upgraded to 7.1.6 Dolby Atmos. I’m still working out the kinks of actually delivering the format, and not just routing audio to 14 channels … although that’s fantastic on its own!

• I’m prepping the infrastructure and repertoire to get out and perform live in 5.1 surround audio. That C15 synth will be my main axe.

@randywalters@sunny.garden

Hi, I’m Randy, and I’ve been playing synthesizers for over 50 years. I was the first student to show up at Brown University with a synthesizer (an ARP 2600) back in ’73.

I was born in Alaska, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and moved to Rhode Island in ’73, where I’ve been ever since.

My primary synthesizers include a C15 from Nonlinear Labs in Berlin, and an Expressive E Osmose from France.

Randy again … I have two long-term projects in progress:

• my studio has been upgraded to 7.1.6 Dolby Atmos. I’m still working out the kinks of actually delivering the format, and not just routing audio to 14 channels … although that’s fantastic on its own!

• I’m prepping the infrastructure and repertoire to get out and perform live in 5.1 surround audio. That C15 synth will be my main axe.

Wonder kitty Lola Falafel has blessed our home for over two years. True love.

@randywalters@sunny.garden

Hi, I’m Randy, and I’ve been playing synthesizers for over 50 years. I was the first student to show up at Brown University with a synthesizer (an ARP 2600) back in ’73.

I was born in Alaska, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, and moved to Rhode Island in ’73, where I’ve been ever since.

My primary synthesizers include a C15 from Nonlinear Labs in Berlin, and an Expressive E Osmose from France.

I love my guitars, too … a .strandberg* electric, and a gorgeous Saers classical.

Hi~ people, its time for a basic introduction. I'm a 20 something drifting through life trying to understand OPSEC and anti-surveillance tech.
I heard that mastodon is more privacy friendly platform than whatever bigtech slop out there.

My likes include Linux, FOSS, slowed nightcore covers of generic pop songs, rainy days, pet pigeons and calligraphy.
I dislike Bigtech, genAI, surveillace, those websites that tell me to turn the adblocker off and the list is ever expanding.
I suffer from depression. Kindness shown whenever interacting with me is appreciated.

Special thanks to @fanfare

@diemkay@hachyderm.io

I co-own a software studio,@tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into and want to help. We plan to make it , and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about , (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. . Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in , and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for / , and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, dreamers, folks, people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

@mweston@ieji.de

Way back in 2022, I wrote up how I came to be on Mastodon: mweston.wordpress.com/2022/11/

Since then I have almost entirely left . I do still have a Facebook account, but use it much less and deleted most of my personal data (education, work, etc.). I've never really used LinkedIn or YouTube as social media, but do still have those as well. I *have* closed my Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp accounts, and never had a TikTok account. I experimented with Threads and Bluesky, but have since closed those accounts as well.

I am now in the process of moving from being @mweston@mindly.social to this server, since in the current I wanted a non-US-based server. Consider this post, my bio, and my link tree to be my

I'm looking forward to getting used to my new home on the Fediverse!

@budududuroiu@hachyderm.io

This move has been on my todo list since last year, and I'm grateful to have Hachyderm now host my main account.

As a re- , I'm Bogdan, a Romanian émigré that's passionate about computing. To put a label on my passion is a bit hard, but I've so far dabbled in Deep Learning, Statistical Modelling, Distributed Systems, Platform Engineering, Hardware Hacking, Cryptography, InfoSec (jack of all trades, master of one type sh).

I consider myself quite far-Left, generally opposed to capitalism due to it's exploitation, destruction of natural habitats and stunting of human evolution and progress. I believe in a Rainbow Coalition of generally left-leaning people as something to strive for. I have the loosely held belief that mass immigration in its current shape is modern day colonialism where the resource that's extracted is human labour.

I consider AI a marketing term for the broad deployment of Deep Learning models, but I'm not a follower of the Western-dogma that AI performance is computationally bound. I believe in the ability of machine learning to be used for good, and that those capabilities will be unlocked by research done by followers of the algorithmic efficiency over "just one more datacentre bro". I believe Chinese AI labs are the counterbalance to the insane spending bubble that Western AI companies have gotten into.

I also blog, and I recently wrote about why you might reconsider using 🇹🇼 when referring to Taiwan.

I used cohost for a bit after a few puzzle nerds moved there, and I rember it being super chill. So when a few friends introduced me to fedi, I wanted an experience like that again.
I'd love to post about my interests, but I'm probably just gonna post a bunch of shower thoughts instead. Maybe once in a blue moon, I'll even post some art!

The last time I switched platforms (to tumblr, that time!) it was in a sort of mass exodus, which gave me an easy initial follow list! I don’t have that this time and I don’t really know where to start… any recommendations? (yes please do tell me to follow you ^^)

Ohh do I have something to say about me… I mostly just lurk social medias, sorry!

Say hi to my green pokemon team 💚

A list of my 6-mon team. The list is as follows : Bulbasaur, Applin (Shiny), Noibat (Shiny), Solosis, Phantump, Unhatched Egg. My OC (Sam) is standing in the middle with a confident pose, while holding a duskball pokeball. On my left shoulder is a Shiny Applin. Flying by the left of my OC is a Shiny Noibat, with a happy expression. Below Noibat is a Solosis, directly staring at me. Below Solosis, by the lower left of my OC is Phantump, looking curiously toward a sapling. By the bottom right of my OC is Bulbasaur, looking playful, with one foot lifted above the ground. Bulbasaur also has their vines wrapped around an Unhatched Pokemon Egg. The egg has some sparkles around it, suggesting a Shiny Pokemon is inside it. The shadows below my OC and the Pokemon suggests that the ground that we're currently on is a field of grass.

@HypostasisGR@metalhead.club

Hello Fediverse!

We are Hypostasis, a progressive metal band from Greece.

Formed some 15 years ago, we have unfortunately been on and off (mostly off) for various reasons ever since. Life happens.

We released a 100% self-produced EP back in 2016, played a few shows, and were forced back into oblivion shortly after.

In the meantime, we were growing, writing new music, and planning a return. It is almost time now. We have recorded our debut album, and are planning a full release in the next few months!

I'm really excited to share this journey with you - we are proud of our new work and, in due time, I hope you'll give it a listen.

Cheers!

@vinay@veganism.social

Hi all,

My name is Vinay, and I'm excited to be trying out social media after a gap of over a decade. I believe in the power of the unbridled, corporation-free internet to connect people and effect social change.

My long-term passions are: veganism for a cruelty-free, climate-friendly future, improving healthcare access in East Africa and beyond (I work for Maisha Meds), learning Spanish and supporting projects. I also care about data privacy and transparency.

More broadly and in no particular order, I'm into homesteading, , cycle touring, community-led projects, and queer rights.

As a peek into my life, here's a photo of this week's canasta (a local initiative that receives fresh organic veggies from a farmers' collective) here in

Mi nombre es Óscar, soy desde muy peque y tengo muchísimos pasatiempos, te cuento algunos.

En general soy bastante amiguero, aunque sigo considerándome un introvertido de clóset, me gusta cocinar y bailo cuando estoy contento, no necesariamente con propósitos sociales.

Me gusta aprender de los niños y contar

Hello, I'm Lila!
Here is my little !

I like drawing, reading and writing fan stuff. Obessing over fandoms is a hobby i'll never grow tired of, I think.

Currently, I'm in and fandoms.

Expect as much fluff than smut on my page. So if you're a minor, please do not follow me here (I have account on tumblr and instagram where you can follow me without any problem). I hope I'll see you around. ^^

Hej,
Mam na imię Marta, trafiłam tu w poszukiwaniu mniej przytłaczających social mediów.
Nie wiem jeszcze, czy będę aktywnie pisać czy tylko lurkować, ale na wszelki wypadek napiszę, co potencjalnie może się pojawić u mnie na profilu:
- big-tech hejt ✨
- polityka
- ogródek (już posiałam nasiona ostrych papryk, więc baby photos sadzonek całkiem możliwe w najbliższych tygodniach)
- gry
- książki (głównie nonfiction)
- moja „sztuka” (to najmniej prawdopodobne, pracuję jako grafik 3d z wypaleniem, ostatnio mam chcicę na malowanie, ale pewnie mi przejdzie)
- ciekawostki historyczne
- ogólnie ciekawostki na jakikolwiek temat, na który w danej chwili mam hiperfiksację

Hello!
This is a new instance for my artwork. My background is in scientific illustration/biology, and I am currently working as a freelance graphic designer. I will be posting here about my personal creative work. Although my work has primarily been about nature, I have decided to learn figure drawing from an online art academy, so I will be posting about that as well.

New server, so new

Hi folks 👋 I'm Nathan, a public interest technologist. I've been on Mastodon since 2017, but just moved to Hachyderm from a single-instance server. I work at @freedomofpress as a support engineer on the @securedrop team.

In other lives I've been a Linux app developer and maintainer, a support specialist at System76, a sysadmin for a public school system in North Carolina, and an AP Computer Science Principles instructor.

I have a blog (nathandyer.me/blog) where I often write about minimalism, free software, indie games, bluetooth devices, and whatever comes to mind.

I am a 2x kidney transplant recipient, and sometimes post about kidney failure, kidney disease, and life after transplant.

I live near Asheville, NC (just over the TN border in the Tri-Cities), and live with my wife Elizabeth, two cats (Emma and Edward), and a corgi named Mushu (photo attached).

@wwhitlow@indieweb.social

Intro Post: I've been away from serious social media use for the past several years. Frustrations over algorithms and data use really pushed me away. That's where excitement over Mastodon is beginning to grow. Control over data and lack of algorithms are two aspects that I'm hoping will offer the opportunity to muse through various thoughts. Along with the public discourse to provide feedback and help refine them. Thoughts posted here are developing, not finalized. 1/

@ansuz@gts.cryptography.dog

New account, new #introduction:

I'm Aaron (use any pronouns you like). I've been on the fediverse since some time in 2018. This is my third primary account, and the second which I've hosted for myself.

I'm probably best known for my contributions to the CryptPad project, for the occasional blog post that unintentionally blew up on hacker news, or maybe for organizing FluConf. I write software, and write about software, but more often as a lens for understanding society than as a thing to be pursued for its own sake.

I was born and raised in (so-called) Canada but have been living abroad for more than a decade, in France, the US, and most recently India. This semi-nomadic lifestyle made earning a living somewhat complicated, so I registered a corporation through Estonia's e-residency program. Get in contact if you think you could benefit from my expertise on any of the topics listed on my website (cryptography.dog). I'm also happy to share my e-residency experience with anyone considering it for themself.

Aside from that, I'm somewhat neurodivergent, and will also post about my numerous hobbies and interests. I enjoy travel, playing music, juggling, photography, cycling, gardening, cooking, games (tabletop and digital), and learning about this planet and the people that live in it.

Die Felsen sind dunkelgrau und die spärliche Vegetation wie Moos, Gräser und kleine Büsche sind knackig grün.

Die linke Hand der Künstlerin hält einen feinen Pinsel und malt an einem mittelgrossen Bild (ca. 50 x 70 cm). Das Bild, welches gerade entsteht, ist von einem realistischen, felsigen, schneebedeckten Berggrat. Die letzten Sonnenstrahlen berühren eben noch die obersten Felsen und Schneeflächen und tauchen es in ein warmes, goldenes Licht. Der Himmel darüber ist tief blau. Die unteren 2/3 des Berges liegen bereits im dunklen Schatten. Das noch unfertige Bild drückt bereits eine tiefe Ruhe aus.

I've been doing a daily doodle challenge from the start of 2026, hope I can keep it up & see you later!

A colored drawing of a woman with shoulder length brown hair and thick glasses, looking kinda tired and just standing there with a coffee cup in hand. She's wearing a thick caramel brown cardigan, yellow shirt, long gray skirt and yellow woolly socks.

On the right side reads as follows:
Meet the artist - milla
Nicknames: villa, villakala
Languages: finnish, english
Pronouns: she/her
Other: mom, game dev
Likes: handicrafts, single player or local co-op games, birds and wild animals, anime, cosplay, camping and strawberries.
Dislikes: early mornings, late stage capitalism, rude people, reality TV, "diet" foods and polyester.

Näin käytät aihetunnisteita Mastodonissa

Mastodonissa aihetunnisteet ovat tärkeä tapa löytää muiden julkaisuja, koska varsinaista julkaisujen tai käyttäjien suosittelua ei ole.

Tärkeä aihetunniste aloittelijalle

(tai englanniksi ). Kirjoita tämä julkaisuusi, jossa kerrot hieman itsestäsi, koska monet seuraavat juuri näitä tunnisteita. Tätä kautta löydät helposti myös itse uusia seurattavia.

Aihetunnisteiden seuraaminen

Seuraamalla aihetunnistetta näet julkaisuja, joissa aihetunnistetta on käytetty. Käytä siis itsekin aihetunnisteita!

Voit etsiä aihetunnisteita tai painaa sellaista, kun se tulee vastaan. Aihetunnistetta voi sitten seurata painamalla kuvan painiketta ”Seuraa aihetunnistetta”:

Kuvakaappaus aihetunnisteen '#virkkaus' seuraamisesta. Aihetunnisteen oikealla puolella on painike 'Seuraa aihetunnistetta.'

Aihetunnisteiden avulla voi myös piilottaa julkaisuja näkyvistä. Senkin vuoksi on tärkeää, että käytät niitä johdonmukaisesti esimerkiksi politiikasta puhuessasi (#politiikka).

Erottele aihetunnisteen sanat isoin kirjaimin

Aihetunnisteet kirjoitetaan yhteen ilman välilyöntejä, joten paras tapa erotella sanat toisistaan on käyttää isoja kirjaimia.

Tee näin:
Älä tee näin:

Tällä tavoin aihetunniste on luettavampi ja saavutettavampi. Tämä auttaa teknisten apuvälineiden käyttöä. Esimerkiksi ruudunlukijat pitävät lyhyen tauon ennen isoa kirjainta, joten puheessa ne kuulostavat erillisiltä sanoilta.

Linkki ohjeeseen verkkosivuilla: mastodon-opas.fi/nain-kaytat-a

My top tip for getting into Mastodon is:

1) Make a post that says "hi, I'm interested in..." followed by like 10 hashtags about your interests.

2) Click and follow all the hashtags in your post.

3) People will boost your post and it'll go further because of the hashtags, due to the nature of the fediverse. Follow all the people who boost you; you can unfollow later if it's too many people.

Hi everyone, I’m Kristine :)

I’m a graphic designer from Ireland, focusing on the intersection of culture and graphic design. Coming from a multi-cultural background (I’m Filipino!), I’ve always been looking for gaps in our understanding of each other.

Aside from that, I love music (Brockhampton’s Saturation trilogy got me into design hehe), and Winnie the Pooh.

Currently finishing my BA and learning about typography and type design. Super grateful and excited to be on here!

@VANTABlack2000@mastodon.gamedev.place

I realized my introduction post isn't the best, so here's go number 2 after over a year on Mastodon.

My name is VANTABlack. I am an artist who works in a variety of mediums. I started as a solo game developer which grew into getting into art and music for games which then just turned into making art and music. I put all of my projects either here on Mastodon or on my Itch.io page vantablack2000.itch.io/

I never use Generative AI for any part of my projects.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, and goodnight, folks.
My name's Blue, and I'm an artist and writer. I'm currently working on a fantasy novel of mine, all the while drawing sketches and sometimes animation (I'm still learning...). I also do some photography, just for fun. The Mini Zoro in my profile picture is also a shot I took while traveling to Tokyo, Japan.

Anyways, I hope we can get along well. That's all from me, thanks for reading this, really appreciate it.
Have a nice day, everyone!

I also own mastodon.art and run it as an instance for creative people with a focus on protecting the safety of Black, queer, disabled, ND folk.

I enjoy befriending cats and drinking privileged white guy tears. :yay_cheer:

Salut Piaille,
Je suis une professionnelle de l'animation qui cherche à faire connaître ses BDs et illustrations sur un réseau que j'espère plus charitable que d'autres envers les petits comptes.

Passionnée d'histoire, de rôlisme, de culture japonaise entre 1000 autres choses, mes centres d'intérêt se retrouvent dans mes travaux, parfois avec humour ou une pointe d'érotisme.

Ma BD "Ilario à la campagne", qui raconte les aventures mortelles d'un assassin ingénu, recherche activement un éditeur.

A très vite j'espère !

Hi, I’m José. Just moved over from Twitter.

I’m a software engineer based in the UK. At work I build distributed systems in Rust; outside work I experiment with languages and systems programming, and I read a lot (classics, sci-fi, history). My blog is linked in my profile (recently migrated from GitHub to Codeberg).

I love talking about low-level code, performance, and distributed systems, and anything book related.

Feel free to say hi, and I’m always happy to receive book recommendations.

I run my own mastodon server and will soon be posting creative stuff that I have made in the past as well as current music, art, poetry, and electronic projects I am working on. I do have a second account that you can find on my profile, but this is my more unhinged creative self. :)

Hi hello, I'm Bridget from Los Angeles! At 27, I'm taking my first steps on Mastodon.

I recently quit my desk job to reimagine my life outside of corporate America. As such, I've got spare time to reimagine the internet alongside you fine folk. No spare money though. Womp.

I'm a writer (or will be once the burnout subsides), interested in the brain, identity, culture and empathy.

Hobby harpist+violinist. Always down some research rabbit hole. Occasionally funny!

I'm Cassian, I'm nonbinary (they/them) and I live in Wales. I mostly post about TV I'm watching, surveys I'm interested in, being neurodivergent, environment stuff, things I'm making, and spontaneous grumpy rants of little consequence.

I do the @gendercensus annually.

I first tried the Fediverse over 10 years ago, but didn't really get ensconced until the first wave of Mastodon in 2016.

Hello 👋 After an afternoon tidying and podcast listening I've decided this forkiverse sounds like a good jumping off point to learn more about federated social media.

I would love to have my feed filled with funny cats, deep insights on the state of the world and a flow of creative creations to get inspired by. On a daily basis I split my energy between , and . Glad to be here, here's one of my recent projects🌼

A black shirt with a four-legged creature playfully outlined in white embroidery. The creature has its small head thrown upward, and its limbs are wavy as if dancing. Its tail is bent across its back, almost touching the uplifted chin. There are orange stripes embroidered along its back and down its long tail, and three orange spots on its chest.

Hello! Irish filmmaker based in Scotland, fleeing so far into the analogue that I’m making a feature film entirely out of paper cutouts. Here is paper cutout me and my paper sound kit, recording a large paper cutout hole.

Paper diorama cut out - 2d images arranged in a 3d space. Aerial perspective of a large hole in a landscape surrounded by scrubby grass and debris. A middle aged woman in a white t shirt and wearing headphones is kneeling at the edge of hole with a boom pole and microphone recording the sound of the hole.

The Fediverse Experiment

Experimenting with a new internet

@Shelbyrs@theforkiverse.com

Hello ! I'm Shelby. I'm a chronic hobby-switcher, reader/writer, and moderately neglectful plant mom (which I'm working on). I'm also a drug and addiction policy researcher.

I was eating breakfast when I heard the episode about the fediverse. Whether we're recreating something old or making something new, I'm excited to be along for the ride.

Welcome, ! Have some assorted cutlery from the toot.cat custom emoji set: :spoons_2: :trans_dagger: :trans_knife:

And here's a few bits of unsolicited advice from this random Mastodon user!

  1. First of all, add a bit of info about yourself to your bio! Makes it easier to tell you're not a bot 😊
  2. Make a little post if you haven't yet! You can include some hashtags relevant to your interests to help others find you.
  3. Masto doesn't have algorithms that automatically add posts to your feed, so populate your timeline by following anyone who seems interesting. You can always unfollow or mute later – folks don't tend to take that personally around here!
  4. You can also follow hashtags! See that “Follow hashtag” button at the top when you browse the tag? Click on that and all new posts with that tag will appear on your feed. 🙌
  5. Whenever you see a good post, reblog it! We call that “boosting a toot” ’round here :blobcatgiggle:
  6. When posting pictures or videos, adding a quick description in the Alt Text will increase your chances of others boosting that toot!
  7. Check out @FediTips, and don't be afraid to ask questions! Anyone who's rude to you about it can get blocked 😌 (or muted, if you're feeling generous).

Hello Forkiverse! I moved here from a different instance, which I joined during the great Twitter Exodus. I like the idea of a small instance founded by people I already follow on other media.

I'm a semi-retired musician (active as a performer / retired from Academia). I spend part of every year in Oregon, USA; and the other part in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Here's where I was when I listened to the Forkiverse episode from Search Engine.

I'm an Indie game coder based in the UK
Interested in games and tech(obviously), science, comics, live music, linguistics and I dabble in the occult.

Grapes make a good pizza topping, the voting age should be lowered to 13 and include everyone, billionaries should be illegal, the borders should be open and the vegans are right.

I'm comfortable being a morally compromised hypocrit though. And you are too. Yes you, especially you actually.

@gray@theforkiverse.com

hey forkiverse.

I'm a long time fan of PJ's (listened to the first episode of reply all as a 14 year old and have followed his stuff since) and also a fan of hard fork.

I'm a software engineer at Unless.com here in the Netherlands and I'm working to build a cooperative software and design agency that's focused on meaningful work.

keep on forking motherforkers

@jamesposthorn@theforkiverse.com

I'm a doctoral candidate in philosophy writing about self-knowledge.

I don't have social media but PJ and company are cool I guess!

@Glen@theforkiverse.com


I’m in North Scotland.

I work around energy & technology, usually at the point where the demo ends and reality begins. That’s where I’m most comfortable.

Outside of that, I like travel, films that reward a second viewing, and conversations that don’t rush to conclusions.

I’m mostly here to listen, occasionally to ask awkward questions, and very rarely to be convinced by a slide deck.

Also, a lot of snow recently. Here is our miniature Schnauzer desperate to get back indoors.

I'm not super sure what's up with that Search Engine podcast or that tag, but I, for one, welcome the new denizens of the fediverse. Hello hello 👋

Hot tips:
- fill in your profiles with at least *some*content (doesn't have to be complex or a lot!) That tells other users you're not a bot.
- post an , as many of you have been doing 🤘
- follow hashtags and users that look interesting to you! There is no algorithm. The algorithm is you - and boosting!

@remlee@theforkiverse.com

Lover of Search Engine, typical lurker on social media. Seriously, I never post because I always think too hard about what people will think and then I get tired and just lurk and like. Oh god what am I doing here? Is the Fediverse different??? Let's find out!

@NovemDecimal@sunny.garden

Heyyy, I'm Novem. I am a returning member of the Fediverse.

I am new to game development, I am interested in web games more specifically, I program in JavaScript, I can do Python as well, but I main JavaScript.

I like anything art related, I draw digitally and I occasionally compose music.

I am autistic and I struggle with really bad social anxiety, so please cut me some slacks. I may use tone indicators from time to time.

Hope to meet you all.

I have a few artworks I want to showcase, but I'll post those later, I need to eat right now.

Hi! I'm Bard! I'm a late-30s genderqueer from the UK, my pronouns are they/them, self diagnosed autistic, slightly puppy coded but in a very background kind of way. I'm happily married to a wonderful enby who brings out the best in me, and keep adorable pet rats.

I discovered the Fediverse when Mastodon was the hot new thing three years ago and basically never stopped being here. My lovely mutuals were the seed for me finally recognising that I wasn't cis; this network has truly meant so much to me, and I try to pay it back by just being a fun entity here.

I post all kinda of stuff, mainly shit I'm up to day to day, thoughts about the anime and games I'm enjoying or whatever my current hyperfixation is. I am kind of a smorgasbord of random posts that you may enjoy at your leisure.

It’s been nearly 2 years of no stable shelter, no income, no safety, no reliable access to food or water.

I’m trying my hardest to survive and not to give in to despair, and to keep my loved ones alive, healthy and in good spirits.

I need your help for food and shelter for my parents, my siblings, my nephew and me.

I love reading and learning about ways of music making, which resulted in exploration of various tools and instruments - alongside DAWs and physical instruments like my guitar - Max/MSP to VCV Rack, trackers like LSDj, or tools like SPEAR. I have a thing for retro games like HOMM and Might&Magic but that’s another topic. This has involved performances and releases, both solo and with others, curating and hosting live leftfield electronic music events like Heart of Noise Cambridge and Electronics at Eight (this one is still going on in Milton Court at Guildhall School in London).

I try to make the most of constraints-whether they are class related financial or physical or emotional or factual as in self-imposed limitations--vs. getting endlessly expensive hardware or plugins with similar sounding presets and homogeneous cliches.This means being open to exploration and learning, with new methods, tools and experiences, and people to develop your own tools and creative formulas.

Music and sounds have been at the heart of my life since childhood in various forms and settings. It also helped me build some of the most genuine connections and magical experiences. Back in the day I managed to move to the UK with a global talent visa scheme through Arts Council England, which helped me change my life after my multiple organic attempts to go around abroad for music making and learning through fundings, while doing a day job in another sector.

I guess I will leave this here for now and instead add some links in this thread. Many thanks for reading and connecting.

I'm a largely self-published author of genre fiction. Up until now, my main releases have been pulpy urban fantasy pseudothrillers in the _Arcane Revolution Trilogy_, which you can read about at sanityline.net. The third book just entered actual drafting in the past couple months, so I'm hoping for a release fairly soon.

I've also been working on a variety of other projects, including one I hope to release soon.

here's another go at another new instance, still trying to find my place in the fediverse.
that means another

im not good at talking about myself so I will be brief

im a bisexual Canadian guy who lives with two other guys. i love them like they are my children cuz they're cats

i play video games, but only older games cuz i don't want to spend money in a ps5.

i also run. i haven't been doing it long, but it's going pretty well.

Hi! I am iloNiki (from @2078 on fedi), making this as an alt to hopefully reduce some stress.

I am very much an autistic robot girl type. My bio is (hopefully) pretty comprehensive, so feel free to look at that, especially since bsky people will get cut off about here.

my hands hurt a lot, so I can't type too too much, and have been extremely slow to work on projects while I work that out (also part of why I am just on the flagship instance for wafrn). I am otherwise chronically ill as well with mostly bad stomach pain and issues.

I am into tech, but idk how much I'll be willing to post about that here, unless I go ahead with my universal pokemon bank idea, or something similarly light and fun/cool. I have other personal projects you may or may not hear about. Currently attempting to work on some games as much as I can too.

I'll probably think of more to write when less sleep deprived, but having some stress leading to that is also what encouraged me to make this account, so it's a tradeoff hehe.

I describe myself typically as a trans robot catgirl domme. Very much into transhumanism in the "queer/chronically ill/have OCD and Autism and want to become computer to become fully realized" Lain kinda way.

I've been in and out of many communities, and still do tend to follow some fandoms, but I spend most of my time with small itch.io indie games, ESPECIALLY fucked up trauma queer visual novels. You may find me in some communities for that. (Play Ad Nauseam if you're 18+ and the idea of a very long CW list due to it being about coping with the world being traumatizing is enticing to you!)

Into Glitch shows a lot lately too. I also LOVE many indie RPGs of that certain type that I feel should have a proper genre distinction but doesn't really (In Stars And Time, UT/DR, Oneshot, OFF, etc.) and I highly recommend so so many of them. All the ones listed and more I'll remember about after this post lol.

Feel free to follow me here and on my main account above! I may be following back less on this account due to trying to keep it a place of reduced stress, but I do still love to get to socialize. :neobot_heart_pink:

My aesthetic is extremely well defined (I have a whole style guide written!) as black with (often glowing) pink neon accents. Very cyberpunk as well, although I seem to mentally spend as much of my time in like 2008 these days as trying to get the aesthetic benefits of cyberpunk to make up a bit for how much we truly do live in a cyberpunk dystopia.

We're plural and may do a system introduction too soon, but I should wrap this up before my hands hurt too much.

Melody (headmate designated by 🤍, we all have heart colors) may do some posting about the music we like too! She's really into it. Lots of small artists. Big fan of vocaloid/other vocal synth, vtubers/vsingers and related communities.

That's all for now, Thanks for reading all this :neobot_heart_pink:

~Introductory post!!~

Hi Everyone, I am Coyote! I'm a polyam polytherian living in the western united states! I technically have another account but thought I could post more furry/therian centric things here than on my other server >:3

I, like a lot of creatures on mastodon, am a dragon >:3 I just kind of had that realization a few weeks ago and am still working out a lot of the details about myself and what it means for me. One of the things I love talking about though is therianthropy and the analysis behind it, whether that be spiritual or psychological. So if you like that kind of thing feel free to send a message and let's talk shop.

I also am an artist! So you will see me post my art from time to time, usually things I have made for friends or partners.

I am very interested in animals and animal care also, and I have 6 reptiles, as well as a cute Pomeranian named Hershey.

I am poly and have three partners, all of whom are also on mastodon >:3 So if you are mean to me they will beat you up /j

Thank you for reading and hope to meet some new creatures! 💚💚💚

Here we are.
After a long time thinking of diving into the Fediverse, I've finally made the jump.
I'm not gonna lie, it feels good.

I have a creative mind with a scientific attitude. I value freedom, privacy and transparency. I've recently started shifting to decentralised, opensource alternatives.
I hope Mastodon will disappoint me less then others.

I'm a writer and director. I work in comics, films and animation.

Currently looking for new challenges.

Welcome to the Shambling Mess The Evil Genius Chronicles began as a blog in 2002 and a podcast in 2004. Enjoy! This Blog on the Fediverse...

@anubis@social.jnpw.net

I am Anubis. You probably know who I am. I am a guide and protector. On here, however, I shall, most likely, talk and post about various topics which I am interested in. I am, of course, interested in Ancient Egypt and mythology, but also art, philosophy and religion. I am currently trying my hand at creating various (albeit very simple) emoji. I also enjoy music, writing and reading. I will, most likely, also share various jokes. Additionally, it is likely that I will also talk about various everyday events and technology and language.

I do not, as of yet, have my own website. However, I shall be working on creating on in the foreseeable future.

Feel free to talk to me if you wish, but please introduce yourself and state the reason for your wishing to talk to me. I am not the best at small talk.

Additionally, I would appreciate it if you could boost this post so that our newly-created instance can get some help with federation.

@hexaitos@social.jnpw.net

Moved to a new server! So, hello creatures of the Fediverse >:3 I’m Hexaitos (though most folk just call me “Hex”) and I am a dragon shapeshifter / polytherian from Germany. I am also plural and there is also @anubis (who was nice enough to set up this server for us) and @bastion. You can follow them, too!

I’m interested in computers and I like tinkering with both software and hardware. I mainly use Linux or other *nix systems (especially OpenBSD). I self-host a whole bunch of stuff as well and I am a chronic domain hoarder (too many project ideas and too little time…). I also really like birds, taking walks, learning languages and taking photos. I also do a bit of gaming from time to time. I am also interested in old / ancient things and know some Ancient Greek and used to also learn Ancient Egyptian.

I also do some programming from time to time (despite being terrible at it x..x) and I am currently working on a Pokédex website called Theriodex (theriodex.net) and I also have my own personal website (hexaitos.com) with a blog where I write about technology and a bunch of other stuff. There is also birds.btlr.sh which will show you a random photo of a bird of prey from Wikimedia Commons. My actual job is working as a system and network administrator for a small ISP.

I am always open for a chat and you are always welcome to send me a DM here or on any other messenger that I am on~ :3 You can view my contact details on hexaitos.com/contact.html.

I love all things (mostly films) and am very fond of , you can check my Letterboxd out to see my reviews. My fave film is Chopping Mall (1986).

I usually don't watch shows now, I hate when they get cancelled and the story gets no proper ending, which happens a lot, but you can also find me at Serializd.

My reading list is predominantly (mainly Nordic) but I also like reading horror, , and anything that piques my curiosity.

I'm some kind of a and enjoy , my main OS has been for 5 years now, and I have an old laptop for distrohopping, currently using and . My secondary OS is .

Hello fedizens!

l recently took up linocut printing and thought this may be a good place to share my creations and learning journey.

I've generally been more of a dabbler/tinkerer in various arts, crafts and DIYs over the years but the carving/printing process has really captured my heart and attention. (Whole zines next?)

As for subjects — I really like plants, animals, fungi, clouds, humor, coziness and levity. But I live in the core of a colonial empire bent on destroying this planet for profit, so a lot of my art is related to that.

I'd love to follow other creative folks here, especially if any of these describes your projects: political, practical, amateur, vegan, upcycled, cute.

Hello!

I am Xenophon Vos, a horror author and avid reader looking to bring a lot of to your feeds. :)

I've recently moved from podvibes.co to be on a more general-use server where I feel more comfortable talking about stuff that isn't just podcasts, although I am very deep into the community still.

I also read often, mostly physically, but I have recently tried to push myself into reading and want to try soon. Some of my favourite genres are -fi and and I specifically love time travel as a narrative tool.

I take photographs (Mostly of ) which I contribute to and when appropriate also to . I've uploaded over 20,000 photos to and over 12,000 observations to (of more than 3,000 species).

I only post my own photos on this account (all of which are ) and make occasional posts about Wikimedia and iNat.

@diemkay@hachyderm.io

I co-own a software studio,@tooinconsistent together with @siwek and others. We build custom software and our own apps.

Right now we’re building an end-to-end encrypted app for democratic organizations. Think decision-making infrastructure that doesn’t force groups to choose between chaos and hierarchy. (Currently in alpha testing, measuring twice before we launch to avoid data loss. Come say hi if you’re into and want to help. We plan to make it , and I will post a bit about our journey.)

I’m also a mother. Motherhood clarified my beliefs and increased my confidence in myself given *gestures wildly around* the world we live in.

I care about , (unfortunately my industry), and urbanism. I’ve come to hate cars. . Too many, too loud, destroying everything good about places. I choose what’s in my power: electric bike, trains, solar, walking, no car for as long as I can avoid it. Not perfect, just trying to do the least harm with what I know.

I’m renovating a 19th century house and thinking a lot about craft, longevity, and respecting what came before while adding new things. I’m trying to let that sensibility permeate into the kind of software we build, to make things that last, for a world still worth inhabiting another 100+ years from now. I’m interested in , and similar initiatives.

I’ve lived in five countries by accident, rather than design, and now speak just as many languages, some badly. Bună, hi, bonjour, hoi, dzień dobry.

I garden, read (mostly nonfiction, sometimes ), write when motherhood allows it, look for beauty in the chaos, am partial to green tea, dark chocolate and have a weakness for / , and joke that we build software for a world on fire, the antithesis to whatever the tech bros are doing.

Would love to connect with parent-builders, dreamers, folks, people, journalists, creators, critical thinkers. People trying to change the status quo, or at least not make it worse.

Do say hello! 👋

Time for an intro update!

Hi all, I'm Gem (Ikkle Gemz).

I'm a disabled female & I love Disney, anime, Japanese & Korean stuff, cats, KDramas, Neighbours, tech, gaming & more. I also love the Fediverse & checking out new servers/instances & run a few of my own. I've also discovered an interest in privacy products

I'm also on here using variations of my nickname. Some I don't use as much now that I have my own instances/servers.

Feel free to ask questions.

Ohoi hoi! My name is Sunie, I'm in my early fourties and I love videogames! I teach digital literacy to elementary school kids, introducing them to tech and coding. I also love playing music (guitar, drums, vocals), enjoy building models (Gundam, wood kits) and tinkering with all sorts of hardware and software projects (3d printing, Raspberry Pi, Open Hardware solutions). Dog person, cat parent.

@hebikanium@blorbo.social

A proper(?) intro may come in handy

Hi! My name's Hebikan (or just Hebi, to make it less awkward). I'm he/him and got a bit of the 'tism, which makes me have a lot of trouble socializing without being awkard, but I try my best :P

I like to think I'm an artist, my work consisting mostly on pieces about my hyperfixations, the main one currently being Brawl Stars, so expect to see a lot of that here. I also like to occassionally make art about my own original stuff (which hopefully isn't too much of an issue here).

Other games I love are Mario Kart (and basically all Mario games), Splatoon, Patapon, Skullgirls, Psychonauts and sometimes a bit of Klondike.

I'm also into consumer tech, religion & mythology (from a non-religious perspective) and music, mostly metal, rock, techno and house, with a bit of dubstep, jazz and folkloric sprinkled here and there.

I also like anime & manga, although I admittedly don't consume it as much as I used to. My favourites are One Piece, Attack on Titan, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Steins;Gate, currently reading OP (up to date) and I *should* get back to watching Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, but who knows when I will actually get to do it.

Hopefully I can one day get my own website to properly showcase my art and ramblings, but for now my online existence relies exclusively on social media for better or (very likely) worse. You can check them with the link in my bio, if you want :p

I think that's all for now, thank you and I hope we can get along well! (Also take a look at some my drawings)

Edit: Forgot to add the tag :p

In the middle of the coil formed by his tail, lies his second form, which is a much smaller humanoid wearing the same clothes, except the haori has a hoodie which completely obscures his head.

@threadsinprogress@aus.social

@kate recommended that I make an post so here go some bits about me, in no particular order~ (Disclaimer: I'm still picking up what the etiquettes are on Mastodon and on this server, so I might very well be under- or over-sharing oops.)

1. Hello! I'm a Vietnamese fibrecrafter, living on Dharawal land (Wollongong).

2. I'd been knitting and spinning for several years, but after a major life/career decision in early 2024, I dove even deeper into the world of fibrecrafts both to keep my brain from going to mush and to comfort myself. Against my more reversed nature, I put myself out there to connect with a wider community of crafters and makers, who have been so kind and generous with their skills and knowledge, and some of whom have become dear friends.

3. If there is such a thing as a calling in life, mine would probably be teaching. I so enjoyed tutoring back in uni; I loved helping students with writing. I'm now flexing that teaching and instructing muscle again as I run knitting workshops at Finzah Yarn Studio, my local yarn shop in Cringilla.

4. I'd call myself a multicraftual maker. For now, I'm deep in working with raw fleece and learning about the different breeds here in Australia. I spin on wheels and spindles, I switch between ten knitting WIPs intermittently, and I'm in a phase of obsession with overshot weaving.

5. I do have an Instagram still (I'm clumsy.feetsies on there), because of the visual nature of sharing about crafts. But I'm much more at home when I can write extensively, hence my blog at threadsinprogress.blog/.

6. I love the more medium to long wool breeds. Love me some tactile feedback when I'm combing and spinning.

7. I would choose a densely cabled knitting project over a plain Stocking stitch one in most situations.

8. One of the books that changed my world in the past year was "Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years" by the wonderful anthropologist Elizabeth Wayland Barber. I am so keen to ask questions and learn more about the way "women's work" has shaped history and our current times.

9. I love novels that are more quiet character studies and centering the perspective of women—I finished "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" on an 8-hour flight this year and fully intend to reread it every year. I welcome any recommendations :)

10. I have a menace of a cat. I will most likely inundate people here with photos of him.

11. I also have a husband who embraces my 1000-ideas-per-minute, scattering-craft-projects-around-the-apartment self to a ridiculous extent. I have my Craft Nook off to the side of the dining area, and he has his Carnivorous Plants Nook (a massive nylon greenhouse) out on the balcony. The cat owns the rest of the place. It's a win-win-win situation.

12. Aaaand I thrive in convos with people about their niche interests (hint: DM me about yours).

@sunguramy@flipping.rocks

I just noticed I am close to 1000 followers. I never broke 1000 on any the corporate owned platforms which I have long left. If you like caves, nature, and occasional adorable dog photos, mind helping me break 1000 followers for the first time ever? I'm a scientist who studies critters who live in caves, and also train dogs, because just one job in this economy? 😂

I am also vehemently against GenAI and will post ideas for getting off of / decreasing reliance on iNaturalist (who has gotten in bed with Google GenAI). Occasional other science communication type posts as well, and happy to answer questions! I always alt text and camel case because I believe in accessibility.

ETA: I do occasionally post "creepy crawly" photos, but I use hashtags so if you don't want to see a cave spider or such, I am easy to filter. I understand that some people just want to see cool passages and formations, and wish to skip the invertebrates. (Filter recommendations: "spider" and "invertebrate" which I use as a catch-all for more leggy critters you may not know the names for.)

Hi! I'm James and I play guitar. My main music project has been Strange Textures, a podcast of improvised guitar recorded live each week. Lots more about that on my website.

Abstract and impressionist, it changes. It's me, recorded in the moment and not repeated, including the happy accidents*. It often has a soothing effect and is meant to be listened to, but can work in the background.

@kotking@blorbo.social

Hello!
Think it's time to expand my fediverse network so best way is with proper introduction!
My name is Kotking which is rus+eng Cat+King so German speakers, it's not what you think it is :blobcatknife: .
I am on fediverse few years already, to be precise right after api blackout on reddit happened. Reddit was fun but that was my last straw that opened my eyes. So with how hectic that event was I was too shy for making introductions and time just gone by.

What motivated me to make proper one?
First I started to stream games, which was my big goal for years but only recently I got hardware for this. I am still financially insecure but price of streaming changed over years. I made my Owncast server show.kotking.noho.st/ with Yunohost so thanks for their existence and support them if you can.
Today I will get to family reunion in Hades so those who played know how far it is.
Second I am big fan/obsessed with Arknights, so would love to reach out others as well. I have @Kotking@misskey.io dedicated to arknights fan-art I found on fedi, so give it a follow and follow Arknights Fan-Artists as well (most of them are japanese). It is NSFW so beware of some spicy and pornographic images boosted. Japanese (Misskey.io is japanese and law abiding instance) has law to treat bikini/too much skin as NSFW as well so beware that not all are erotic per say.

I also do niche clears for arknights
youtube.com/@kotking as well video.hardlimit.com/c/ammoknig . No commentary, just challenge clear with some edits to speed it up in some places.

I would also like to mention that my OC (which is my profile picture) is made by @bresynne which I am really grateful for.

Third would be my obsession that lead me to discover arknights. Catgirls :blobcatblush: ! I not scour fedi for catgirls that much yet but would gladly follow all catgirl enjoyers! :blobcatheart:

To wrap it up if you want to watch me trying to stream you can follow @Kotking@show.kotking.noho.st . For arknights fan-art I discover on fedi @Kotking@misskey.io . For Arknights niche clears @kotking@video.hardlimit.com or youtube. And for me personally @kotking .
Thank you for your attention!

I am leaving Amazon for various reasons. Instead, I now write free queer original fiction in English which I want to make available for free download (as PDF) when it is finished.

My queerness? I am , on the ace-spectrum and aegosexual. I live in a polycule.

Here’s my …! I’m an indie freelance and furry artist, I do comics, I do freelance industrial design. I like to draw cartoony, buff, and/or cute dudes. Gay and progressive and pro-diversity, so if that’s a problem for ya, too bad! 💜

I’ve been in the fandom for over three decades, tho under my old name for most of that time. I’m busy right now transitioning to this new name, and refocusing on comics as my medium. Thanks for bearing with me! 💜

A lot of my stuff is work-safe, tho I do post or boost NSFW material stuff as well, behind content warnings.

lenghty-post/tldr: introduction (+cat)

Haven't made an introduction yet so I decided I'll just do it.

Hai, I'm Taleb. I'm primarily a hobbyist researcher, archivist and a writer who's just wayfaring around here. I first joined 2 years ago however I became active nowadays as I switched platforms to here.

I code a website called Spacetoon Archive, a passion project of mine that is about documenting and preserving history of the channels around the regions alongside dubs, medias, and basically anything related to it. My aim is to document a lot of stuffs as much as I can and create an informational website for preservation, though I'm a better researcher than a web coder. Might call this my hyperfixation if you will. A public demo had been released so check it out.

I enjoy scrolling artworks and read anything that intrigues me in my spare time. Tbh, I'm quite reluctant to make an intro or a public post because well...it can be seen in the local timeline and can be easily discoverable just by that compared to other platforms, although I shouldn't really be timid from the idea of it at this point. I may post time to time though I'll likely boost stuffs more than I write smth.

Anyway, that's all I can say. Here's a one-second clip of my aunt's cat meowing as it's caturday.

A short clip of Amoi, the orange cat shown in the video who's on the balcony holding by my aunt who's offscreen.

She lay her head before she moved her head to the right and meowed. My aunt said where's Amoi and Amoi responded to her. Her voice was trimmed out for privacy. Video recorded by me.

Greetings! Un petit to me, formerly tooting from woofblitzerreports@mastodon.social

I'm a technical architect in a small local branch of a large software company. As if that wasn't enough death by databases, I'm the sysadmin for a community choir as well.

I love the corner of the Internet that is the Fediverse, and I am keen to interact with both my interests and topics I didn't know about! Particular highlights:

pop music, UK television, cycling, trains, airplanes, architecture, graphic design, singing, piano, LGBTQ+ issues, Linux, Windows, ethics of tech, cute things, hot d00dz (these come in many forms), world politics (but only in small amounts).

@teaneedz@vivaldi.net

though not found in typical history books, my grandfather was revolutionary and rode with Pancho Villa. apparently though, he achieved some notoriety for switching sides depending on whether the revolutionaries or the army was riding back into town that evening to the saloon regardless of who won a battle.

he must have been friend to all.

so yeah, come ride with me. I have a legacy to fulfill. it's not about who wins a battle that matters. it's about who's making the run to get earl grey lattes.

@diegovsky@bolha.us

Hi! I just moved over from @diegovsky@fosstodon.org! I do coding, in fact a lot of it but I don't want to identify myself as a programmer because I'm way more than that.

I'm very lefty and fucking hate corporations, but that's a cold take in 2026, which is my final year in Computer Science Bachelor's at the Federal University of São João del Rei (UFSJ).

I am probably on the spectrum, but not sure which of the funny letters apply to me yet: ADHD, Autism, Giftedness or a combination of the three.

I'm a very social person that speaks by the elbows - a Brazil Mentioned® expression to say I love talking. Did I Mention™ I'm Brazilian? (Brazil 🇧🇷 Mentioned©)

I am sometimes confused by an elder British woman in her 40's because I plan tea parties with friends where we bake cookies and have a good time together while sipping tea :)

Despite everything, I'm a bi guy dating a bi woman ( @Anonineteen ), which is funny but we're both very queer. See video of me in fishnet Patrick star for a demo!

I can say many things about myself, which is hard to summarise in a single word, but I would call myself a friend. I like other entities and like to treat everyone else with love and respect.

I'm 🥨 (24/bird/new england)
I'm an electronics engineer specializing in batteries and a recently-minted (or, at least I tell myself it's recent...). I'm usually a bird when in VR and a proot when AFK.

Some of you creatures might also recognize me as that bird that plays the trumpet.

I've also been known to bake a thing from time to time - 20k sourdough pretzels since 2020 and counting.

My latest obsession has been building this , photo is from Chicago during MFF this year!

A protogen with brown  & tan fur and flashes of red fur in its ears, metallic copper-looking hard bits and five-fingered paws with long translucent claws. His cheek plate shows a red-glowing pretzel icon. There is a white protobean holding onto his left shoulder as he stands in front of the big steel bean, with a distorted version of Chicago reflecting in the background.

I've been on fedi for over 3 years now, so it's time for an intro post!

I'm Jaylin (they/she), in my 30s, trans femme/non-binary, plural, and living in the great, rectangular hellscape of Saskatchewan. (I actually kinda like living here, it's just many of the others here don't like that I exist.)

I touch computers! I run Gentoo on my machines and have a homeserver running stuff for the extended polycule. I code in bash and C++, as well as rust when I'm feeling adventurous. I dabble in 3d printer shenanigans.

I do witchcraft! For me, it's a way to add meaning and celebration to life (I was raised catholic, so there used to be a lot of traditions that are now Weird). My practice is atheistic, kinda like atheopaganism, but I'm not willing to commit to the label quite yet.

I steal people's blood for a living! (It's legal and consensual! And healthcare!) But I don't work very much because disabilities.

I have my adorable pet @briellebouquet and another lovely partner who isn't on fedi.

I'm hoping to post about random tinkering, but also silly things that arrive in my brain that I hope make people laugh ❤️

Apologies for these rather self-promotional first posts!

If I have time, I'll try to post and share things related to graphic design and other trivia related to digital cultures.

Kim jestem i co tu robię? Boosty mile widziane! 🤗

Hej! Witam na profilu Stanikomanii.pl, blogu o stanikach i zapraszam do obserwowania wszystkie osoby zainteresowane tematem biustonoszy, a zwłaszcza te noszące lub zamierzające nosić tę część garderoby! 🤗

To było w skrócie 😁 A teraz trochę obszerniej o tym, o co tu naprawdę chodzi, skąd przychodzę i co robię w internetach. Stanikomania.pl powstała w 2007 r., odpowiadając na potrzeby społeczności Lobby Biuściastych. Było to forum, które skupiało kobiety i osoby o głównie większych biustach, bezskutecznie szukające dla siebie w sklepach odpowiedniej bielizny górnej (dla nienoszących biustonoszy: to takie uczucie, jak byście nie mogli dostać butów w swoim rozmiarze). Służyło wymianie informacji i wzajemnemu doradzaniu (gdzie kupić, jak dobrać biustonosz). Z czasem stało się ciałoakceptacyjną przestrzenią i inkubatorem dla rodzącego się w Polsce brafittingu i związanych z tym biznesów, zajmujących się handlem i produkcją bielizny inkluzywnej rozmiarowo (wiecie, 100 rozmiarów zamiast ogólnodostępnych 20, bo nasze ciała są tak różnorodne, że potrzebują raczej 100). Jeśli jesteś ciekawx, jak zmieniały/liśmy rynek, polecam tekst „Polska historia stanikowa” na blogu - ma już 10 lat, ale opowiada o najważniejszym: stanikomania.pl/polska-histori .

Historia Stanikomanii jest zrośnięta z rozwojem oferty, ale jej misja jest konsumencka - owszem, tworzę jeszcze komercyjne recenzje, ale testuję produkty uczciwie na sobie i generalnie przyjmuję perspektywę osób noszących biustonosze. Zdobytego doświadczenia używam też doradzając markom tworzącym nowe konstrukcje i rozmiary dla różnych ludzi, pisuję do magazynu branżowego.

Misja trwa - ciągle nie wszystkie biusty mają w co się ubrać. Co ważne - nie sponsoruje mnie żadna firma, moje treści zawsze były ogólnodostępne i darmowe.

Hi, I'm Ridley!

I think a lot about building healthier online communities. I'm interested in distributed computing, consent-focused design, privacy, and object capability programming.

I am currently working on a Dart-based implementation of ocapn.org which I hope will make it easier to create distributed and federated applications.

I am very grateful to have @nlnet sponsoring some of this work.

#Introduction - A new home for longer mountain ramblings & tech dabbling!

After years on a managed Mastodon instance, I've finally jumped into the #selfhosted world! Say hello to my new personal #ActivityPub instance, powered by #GoToSocial from home.

While I test the waters here (and learn all the complexities of managing self-hosting!), this space will be for the longer-form, deeper-dive content:

1. Extended mountain trip reports with more photos.

2. Ramblings on my rather amateur adventures in #technology, #landscapephotography, #lora mesh networks, #degoogling efforts, and #linuxphone solutions.

Think of it as my digital base camp. If you're a mountain person who loves tech (or a tech person who loves mountains), we probably have things in common. Boosts and introductions are welcome!

Hi! I'm Alice. I live in Brisbane / Meanjin near the Kedron Brook, where the toxic, invasive cane toads are prevalent. For a while I've been setting a Watergum trap in the Brook to catch their tadpoles. Today I was kindly given control over the four tadpole traps owned by the Gilbert Road Bushcare Group, so I've created this account for sharing photos of my catches so that the group can see.

I'll also show the locations where I set each trap, so you'll see photos of the pretty Brook and the trees around it. It's a lovely area.

All images will have alt text, often with more details about the catches and the locations.

The tadpole traps are humane. The lures mimic the scent of the toad tadpoles and aren't harmful to dogs or wildlife. Any fish or native frog tadpoles that get caught are released, and then the cane toad tadpoles are humanely killed. Learn more at watergum.org/tadpoletrapping/

Finally getting around to writing my post:

Hey! I'm River, I'm a Computer Science student in college. I like to write blogs about tech, computers, literature, leftist economics, and political science. I try to write consistently, but it doesn't always happen.

I'm a big fan, trying to do more reading in the genre lately. Something I'm also interested in is , especially and . I'm an agnostic atheist, but I don't get weird about it.

I like to write mini-threads (~3 posts long) as a way to draft out ideas before writing bigger blog posts on my site.

I might also share some that I listen to, but I won't ever spam it -- I prefer to talk about things that I share.

Lover of em dashes -- humans like to use 'em too!

DM's and email are totally open to whatever, I love getting messages!

I'm Loki an anarchist and neurospicy artist who pretends he's coypu (or am I a real one? :RagonSourireEnCoin: ). I do anti-capitalist, antifa and other woke stuff.

If you like lame puns, cute animals and angry slogans, you can buy my linocuts, cyanotypes and letterpress prints on my shops.
As I'm in favour of sharing art as much as possible, you can also find free/open prices digital files of my work.

All the links 👉 https://social.lokipropagand.art

When I don't talk about my artwork, I toot in French and English about anarchy and birds. I may like to rant. You have no proof.

@sashin@veganism.social

My name is Sashin.

I am functioning as a software developer but I am an aspiring writer.

I am passionate about clear communication, left-wing politics (anarchism, human rights and anti-bigotry), free software and animal rights.

I want to develop a deep understanding about how the world works, spread that knowledge and work towards making it a better place.

I love anime and manga.

My favourite manga is which I have been reading every week since I was in highschool.

My favourite anime is probably The Tatami Galaxy.

I also like Ping Pong the Animation, Kino's Journey, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Gintama and many others.

I am have been learning Japanese largely on my own for the last five years. I've changed around how I have been approaching it, but have settled on immersion (lots of watching and listening to content in the language) as the best way.

I do flashcards everyday using Anki, where I learn ten new words and review words I already know and I am basically always listening to something in Japanese so long as I am not interacting with people or doing something that commands a lot of attention (so while walking, cleaning, cooking etc I am always listening, I also have a shower speaker). I don't do anything every special with my attention when immersing, I think the subconscious is where the magic of language acquisition happens.

I also love video games, I have a steam deck which I have more or less perpetually docked and connected to my housemate's projector. My favourite game is probably Undertale. I also love The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight.

Anyway it's nice to meet everyone!

@puleo@mathstodon.xyz

Hi folks -- I'm still kind of figuring out this whole Mastodon thing, so please pardon any clumsiness in my posting. I'm a former academic mathematician in graph theory, and while I'm no longer working in academia and publishing papers, it turns out I still have a strong drive to keep doing mathematics in some form or another.

Lately, the form that has taken has been creating small mathematically-inflected games in the . Often my process is to work out a little theorem for myself and then to try and create a path through those ideas that might allow someone to arrive at the same theorem for themselves from first principles -- maybe encountering some of the same false-starts and little breakthroughs that make the research process so engaging.

When I hear professional game designers talking about game design I often hear them opining about how they are pleasantly surprised to lay down the basic rules of a game and then hear those rules "talking back" to them and leading to consequences they had not initially foreseen. What mathematician can hear that and not immediately recognize it as the thrill of mathematical discovery?

As of posting, I'm currently playing Tomodachi Life and sharing screenshots and clips with my friends.

I actually started to look back into the Fediverse cause I don't want to post it to Instagram, and I've been looking for a good place to post about it 😃
I might join The Gamer's Tavern Pixelfed since I take/post a ton of screenshots.

@lunch@sunny.garden

hi there! i'm pan, based in hanoi, vietnam. i'm a tofu maker, a slow swimmer, and a lifelong learner.

most of my time goes to looking out the window, whether i'm in class or having lunch with my family. when i'm not doing that, i'm getting lost in books, taking long tiring walks or hanging out with my dog and cats.

my letterboxd summary says i watch the most movies on thursdays.

i don't sleep much. just 5 to 6 hours a night. i think i was born with caffeine in my veins. running on so little sleep i pretty much sleepwalk through the day forgetting everything i'm supposed to remember.

noons are my reading time, and i especially enjoy poetry. anne carson and li-young lee really speak to me even if i don’t always get it. rereading is my thing, though. my forgetfulness makes it feel extra rewarding and enjoyable. when feeling low, i hop on my bike and let the road measure my mood. for instance, last monday, my sadness stretched for about 36km.

or i might get up at 4 am, grind soybeans and make some tofu. there’s something comforting about turning feelings into something tangible. something you can hold and savor.

i wonder if you like tofu.
and what do you usually do when you're feeling low?

i started this in late 2025 and here’s my first bit of . hope they offer you a glimpse into who i am. hope the tofu curds come together instead of swirling around. hope the road grows shorter. hope the grasshopper finds a dry place to shelter from the cold night rain.

@straybun@lgbtqia.space

Hi, people of lgbtqia.space and in general! I'm Straybun, a new local bunnygirl to cuddle you and for you to pet. :abunhdhappy:

Thanks to @alice and the rest of the moderation team for welcoming me on this instance. In doing so, they trusted me to follow the rules of this community. So here's a little pledge to this community:

I vow to be the kindest bunny I can be and to always give the benefit of the doubt to others. I vow to keep an awareness of my privileges and to make use of them for those who are less privileged than I am. To learn from mistakes and apologize with grace if the need ever comes. To do my best to not spread misinformation and to correct myself if I ever do. To protect fellow community members with proper content warning on the things I posts and to always make sure that every media I post or boost has ALT text.

I also vow to be silly, autistic, trans, and as openly me as I am comfortable being here. I vow to be depressed, anxious and to struggle openly (always behind content warning) because being openly disabled online is rad as hell.

Thank you for reading, pet the bunny on your way out, see you soon!~♡

No więc będzie teraz znowu, bo strasznie mi się nie chce pisać unit testów.

Zacznijmy od tego, że na profilowym mam górne pół mojej głowy, z okularami przeciwsłonecznymi na czubku i miną jakbym coś knuła, na tle perły polskiej architektury, czyli bazyliki w Licheniu, oraz jej zielonych ogrodów, które akurat są spoko, i trzeba je uspołecznić na publiczny park.

Na zdjęciu w tle są badże w kształcie znaku zakazu wjazdu B1 (białe koło, czerwona obwódka) i tym znakowym fontem napisane: "Strefa wolna od Ordo Iuris". Badże wymyśliłam ja, projekt zrobił cudowny Mateusz Mirys, mam pozwolenie, żeby go uspołeczniać w słusznych celach jakby ktoś chciał. Projekt, nie Mirysa.

A poza tym jestem starą babą z doktoratem, koniem, trzema kotami, dziarami, nadwagą, , , depresją i doświadczeniem Razemu, Polskiej Akademii Nauk i związków zawodowych. Czyli generalnie tym ostatecznym bossem feminizmu, przed którym ostrzega was cała manosfera. Moją największą życiową ambicją jest zostać prawdziwą Babą Jagą w chacie gdzieś w lesie.

Zawodowo robię data sajens i data inżyniering ostatnio też, umiem pisać w C, pracowałam z francuskim kodem w Fortranie 77, i generalnie trudno mi zaimponować, a jak się ktoś ekscytuje ejajami, to jest duża szansa, że go po prostu zjem, bo gadać na ten temat to mi się już nawet nie chce.

Lubię anarchistów, piratów, wiedźmy, wszelkiej maści odmieńców i dziwaków, wszystkie zwierzątka, rośliny i grzyby (zwłaszcza grzyby!), czytać książki na Fuerteventurze, i jak mi się nie zawraca dupy pierdołami.

Nie dyskutuję z fanbojami Konfederacji, antynaukową szurią, mizoginią, nawet tą przebraną w troskliwe szatki (zwłaszcza terfiarstwo mnie wkurwia), talibami neoliberalizmu, i tym podobnym oszołomstwem. Jestem już stara, nie mam do was cierpliwości i jak mnie będziecie wkurwiać, to wam każę wypierdalać i zbanuję bez ostrzeżenia.

A tak, i dużo przeklinam, bym zapomniała.

Mój wewnętrzny krytyk wygląda jak Jerzy Zelnik w "Faraonie", więc hejt z internetu naprawdę nie robi na mnie wrażenia.

introduction 💖

New account, new intro!

Hello, am snake. Lorge snake. Sometimes derg. My webbed site is secretdragon.pink

I hate computers so I started running my own fediverse instance and have my own static website. I love all sorts of critters, but especially cats and reptiles. Anyone is welcome to come talk to me at any time, but I probably won't message you first because I am shy.

I have lots of characters, and am working on moving them off of Toyhouse and onto my own personal wiki. My fursona's ref + an alt text description is attached to this post.

Sometimes I post 5 times a day for 3 months and then disappear for a few weeks. Don't worry about me if I do, sometimes I just get tired and only keep up with my close friends so they know I'm not dead.

This account isn't necessarily "safe for work," but I don't post explicit content here anymore. Things might be raunchy or violent.

I sometimes joke about vore, but I'm not very interested in it outside of humor. If you saw snake and are mainly here looking for vore, you're in the wrong place.

I **do not** tag for eye contact, food, or "non-vegan" anything. If this may make you uncomfortable, feel free to mute or block me.

If you see something else you'd prefer for me to tag, feel free to ask, but there's no guarantees.

Egg is a male anthropomorphic burmese python. His scales are yellow, becoming a darker gold color along his back, with white markings and scutes. Notably, he does not have heat pits, and his markings are drawn randomly. He has a flat chest and is overall chubby. His eyes are naturally green, but he has blue contacts he wears instead of glasses sometimes and can also be drawn with blonde hair. The reference has 3 types of genitalia: a sheath with two cocks, a vulva with two t-dicks, and a sort of cloaca-style sheath with both two cocks and a vagina. His main forms are a naga form, a bipedal form, and a feral form. He has an outfit that consists of blue pants, a green + orange + brown sweater, a brown necklace with a wooden diamond-shaped charm, and black glasses.

Hi Ingrid. Welcome to the server and Mastodon, if this is your first time using Mastodon.

Because there's no AI pushing posts to people, you need to follow hashtags that have your interests, and people who interest you.

This also means you need to liberally use hashtags in your posts. For example, it's traditional for the introduction post to contain the hashtag. Many people, including myself, follow this hashtag.

If you need help, or have questions, just reach out.

realised i never posted an on my new instance

Hi, i'm Sijmen, a.k.a. vijfhoek, am a 28yo dutchie, and I have been a Fosstodon user for some time. Because Fosstodon wasn't really for me I started off on Misskey, then Sharkey. After a while the itch started again, and I was getting annoyed with Sharkey's bloatedness and bad Mastodon API implementation, so I looked into a new server. GoToSocial was cool but too simple, people recommended me to skip Akkoma/Pleroma/etc and to try IceShrimp.NET too, and here we are.

I like programming, specifically creating new projects and never finishing them (latest one is an mastodon API client:
git.sijman.nl/vijfhoek/fedilite), and the odd embedded stuff (I've been building a keyboard I really need to finish someday it's so close).

Other than programming I like coffee, D&D, and self-hosting things. I have got a job in devops (mostly Kubernetes stuff nowadays) and am an (honestly non-practicing) embedded systems master student.

If you read this, send me cat pictures and cool things to self-host.

So last Saturday, I binged Serial Experiments Lain, and tbh I've never felt more represented on screen. Also, I was reminded that who I am online is what I consider to be my true self, and since joining Twitter in 2009, I had tried to put my full self into my socials to allow others to truly know me. I recognized that I hadn't been doing that lately, so today I'm here to course-correct.

i've been on estrogen for a bit over 5 years. my genetics kinda suck for an estrogen-dominant hormonal milieu, so since starting HRT i've had to deal with some chronic illnesses (POTS, MCAS, EDS/HSD). i have been able to almost fully treat most of these issues, and i'm fortunate to be able to generally live a normal, active life with a few physical limitations.

i love the outdoors, especially camping and boondocking. a recent highlight was a 2-week road trip through the southwest to see Big Bend NP and Grand Canyon NP. a big reason for moving to the PNW US was to be closer to nature, especially the mountains.

some of my varied special interests: cities, maps, infrastructure, transit, aviation, space, the Space Shuttle, nuclear energy, Chernobyl NPP, Garfield, video games.
i practice mindfulness and meditate as often as i can muster.

i'm also pretty good at making computers chooch, so that's what i do for work and, often, fun. i mostly use Windows, macOS, and iOS for personal devices and Debian for servers.

i'm a hacker at my core. i have previously spoken at DEF CON, several BSides, and countless smaller cons. topics usually include privacy, bureaucracy, and barcode scanners.

i self-host way too much stuff, some 50-odd services like Home Assistant, Active Directory, several game servers, and a fully automated seedbox. running on 4 physical machines, backed by this ridiculous 50+ TB spinning rust array. i've been running this mini datacenter in some form for over a decade now, brought with me through 3 states. and that's how you're reading this!

see you around~

Hi! I'm tacocrepe, and I'm a general pixel artist!

Not-so-new to Mastodon, but I did just switch instances. I'll slowly re-post my art over here again ^_^

Say hi to my green pokemon team 💚

A list of my 6-mon team. The list is as follows : Bulbasaur, Applin (Shiny), Noibat (Shiny), Solosis, Phantump, Unhatched Egg. My OC (Sam) is standing in the middle with a confident pose, while holding a duskball pokeball. On my left shoulder is a Shiny Applin. Flying by the left of my OC is a Shiny Noibat, with a happy expression. Below Noibat is a Solosis, directly staring at me. Below Solosis, by the lower left of my OC is Phantump, looking curiously toward a sapling. By the bottom right of my OC is Bulbasaur, looking playful, with one foot lifted above the ground. Bulbasaur also has their vines wrapped around an Unhatched Pokemon Egg. The egg has some sparkles around it, suggesting a Shiny Pokemon is inside it. The shadows below my OC and the Pokemon suggests that the ground that we're currently on is a field of grass.

Hi Fediversians! I'm Jon. I've run computer infrastructure for a long time. Focused on , , , and

DomumSocial is my attempt at a radically anonymous social platform: all authenticated access is over Tor (no IPs, no emails), federation is still on the public internet so posts go to the full Fediverse.

I’ve run anonymized news sites before (IndyMedia & Tor) so I’m braced for moderation challenges.

Let’s see where this goes…

Hi, neighbors! I've been using Mastodon across various instances since 2018, maybe earlier. Lately I've felt the need to start using a smaller instance as my go-to. And then I remembered I made this account on writing.exchange nearly 3 years ago and haven't done anything with it. I've been using Write.as since 2020 and absolutely love it. And I've been meaning to get back into some blogging. So here I am. Check my bio for my blog URL and tags about some of my interests.

Dessin de la Fontaine de l’Éléphant sur la place de la Bastille, réalisé par Jean-Antoine Alavoine Le Chevalier entre 1809 et 1819. On y voit un éléphant monumental, richement harnaché et vu de trois quarts à droite, portant sur son dos un palanquin avec un trône d’or. L’animal repose sur un bassin entouré d’une rampe d’eau, et l’ensemble évoque le projet fastueux imaginé sous Napoléon, jamais réalisé.

@mattiebee@hachyderm.io

Hi, I’m Mattie! I’ve been messing with computers for many, many years. Long before folks started paying me to do it.

I’m hoping to use this account to talk about what I’m doing and interested in with software and tech, as well as follow folks talking about the same stuff. Primarily in the Unix-y space, using and developing there, but I’m interested in quite a bit.

(I’ve been around the fedi awhile, most recently at @zigg, in case you know me there. Right now, I’m planning to keep that account for the time being.)

@kittyvern@pounced-on.me

I always find hard to write up so but here goes it

Hi my name is Zee, I'm in my 30s, my pronouns are She/They and I'm just your friendly kittyvern which is more or less a hybrid. I am extreme and but loving it, very girl shape deal also nerospicy and a host of other labels in there

I am quite techy I like to think very much being daily driving for years now and recently moved over to and having quite a fine time with it. Also a novice which I am really hoping to get back into the swing start of next year.

Very much into the creative process as something about creating art is amazing and I feel is one of the coolest things we can do, as well big furry here so very much into all types of arts.

Can be quite the at times, I tend to play mostly but also more recently more single player rpgs and reasonable range of things, thanks to having a steam deck.

Thats more or less me in a nut shell. I probs could go on but I think I keep it short and sweet this time. If I seem cool feel free to follow me. See you around :dragnheart:

@saxifraga@lgbtqia.space

Hellooo!

post. Thrilled to have been accepted on to lgbtqia.space.
I’m going to see this profile as my safe space.

I’m Peter (sax/pj) (he/him).

I have yet to decide which profile to use more, but I’m glad I’m here.

I’m Queer, Gay, Ace, cis and work freelance in editing and writing.

I’m sure I’ll think of more things to add, but for now, here’s this:
I won’t tolerate: anti-trans people, anti-LGBTQIA+ people, racism, fat-shaming, any kind of appearance-shaming, bigotry, any religious hatred, anti-accessibility, discrimination against marginalised people. This list is a WIP.

And why Saxifraga? Well, Saxifraga Oppositifolia is a beautiful flower that can bloom in the most hostile of places.

I'm Loki an anarchist and neurospicy artist who pretends he's coypu (or am I a real one? :RagonSourireEnCoin: ). I do anti-capitalist, antifa and other woke stuff.

If you like lame puns, cute animals and angry slogans, you can buy my linocuts, cyanotypes and letterpress prints on my shops.
As I'm in favour of sharing art as much as possible, you can also find free/open prices digital files of my work.

All the links 👉 https://social.lokipropagand.art

When I don't talk about my artwork, I toot in French and English about anarchy and birds. I may like to rant. You have no proof.

Ça faisait longtemps alors voici une nouvelle #introduction !

Je suis Loki un artiste anar et neuroA qui fait semblant d'être un ragondin (ou qui en est vraiment un, mystère :RagonSourireEnCoin: ) et qui fait de l'art avec des thématiques anticapitalistes, antifa et autres trucs de wokistes.

Si vous aimez les jeux de mots un peu nazes, les meufs badass, les animaux mignons et les slogans déter vous pouvez acheter mes linos, cyanos, typos et affiches numériques sur mes différents shops.
Comme je suis pour le partage le plus large possible vous pouvez aussi télécharger des versions numériques gratuites/à prix libre.

Tous les liens sont sur https://social.lokipropagand.art

Quand je ne partage pas mon taf créatif, je pouet en français et en anglais pour parler d'anarchie ou d'oiseaux. Il peut m'arriver de râler mais vous n'avez aucune preuve.

Heloooo :3 Im Kytty/Shelter, Im a feline transbian.

I like gaming, making digital art and music on occasion, listening to music, and I do a bit of recreational linguistics and media analysis in my lonesome :3

My favourite pieces of media are Signalis and The Acts by TDH

Mostly though I program, Im doing a certificate course in IT using C++, but in personal projects I prefer to use C, Rust, Python or pretty much anything else haha.

In small quantities Ive worked on http servers/clients and games, though the bulk of my experience is in parsers/interpreters. I maintain an interpreter based on the CLox interpreter by Robert Nystrom on my github :3

Thats all for naow ^^

Hello world! ^^
I'm Jasmint, an Aussie artist exploring the Fediverse. I had an account previously but decided to start fresh after learning a bit more.

You'll mostly catch me doing digital portraits and fan art. Here's an artwork of Alphinaud from Final Fantasy 14 that I did recently! :D

I also work on a texture mod for Final Fantasy 11, which you can view on NexusMods: nexusmods.com/finalfantasy11/m

Nice to meet you all! :D

Alphinaud from Final Fantasy 14 (a young elf boy with silver hair) hands you a glass of water with a smile on his face and the other hand on his hip. He looks at you intently, wanting you to accept the glass. 
In the reflection, a skeleton stares back at you...

Hi All,

Here's my post here on Mo-Me! I'm one of your moderators and have been on the Fediverse in some for or another for since 2016-17.

I'm a former/recovering professional journalist turned digital marketer and podcast host/producer.

I'm across the pod in the Philadelphia-Metro area. So hello 5hrs earlier than you guys in the UK!

I'm mostly active here: @phillycodehound@indieweb.social so follow me here and there to get the full PCH experience! 😝

Happy !

Alright, is this thing on?

This is my first post here on Mastodon. I'm Freddy, the guy behind the "Freddy's Cine IT" blog.

I'm moving my work here, reviews, and a lot of other stuff to come, for one simple reason: we need to defund the billionaires. It starts by ditching their data-mining playgrounds and supporting decentralized networks like this one. So, here I am.

To kick things off, I've just posted my review of The Institute. What an intense show. I loved it.

I'll drop the link to the full review in the replies. Let me know what you think. Glad to be here.

@steeltransplants@eldritch.cafe

post!

Hi all, I am finally on/moving to this platform in my continued commitment to boycott! I have shared my art mostly on Instagram for almost 5 years. I hope to use this account as a mix of my personal life and "professional" artwork!

About me:

My name is A or Arlo (pick one or alternate). They/them pronouns

I'm a white settler, transsexual, intersex, fat, sober, crip, punk, anarchist.

I'm a case user (sometimes) with chronic pain, AuDHD, CPTSD and high anxiety.

I still practice COVID safety by wearing an N95 mask anytime I am outside of my home (and at times inside my home with other masked folks), testing, using a portable HEPA, nasal spray and mouth wash.

I am a deeply passionate and dedicated mixed media/multi-disciplinary self taught artist, community organizer and art therapy student.

I show up online and in community through various mutual aid efforts, I love T4T relationships and building chosen family.

Outside of community-oriented efforts, I love to swim, play card and video games, listen to podcasts and binge watch reality TV.

Thanks for reading!!! <3

A selfie of A from the chest up, who is a white person with a brown buzzcut mohawk and braided rat tail. They have a light brown moustache and short stubble beard. have large black framed glasses, black jewelry in their eyebrow piercings, stretched septum, nostril piercings, labret piercing and 1/2" tunnels in their ears. They are wearing a thick black chain, a grey battle vest covered in patches, pins and spikes. They have an orange flower with thorns tattoo on their chest.

Hello Everyone, we decided to have a presence on the for our li ttle tool.

We allow anyone to shorten their long links and have them short, this is perfect your next mastodon post.

The project is built by @danielpetrica and you can find posts about the built process there, for issues with the app, or info about the app you can easily contact us here or contact Daniel directly.

Thank you for listening and have a nice week everyone.

Q: Are you moving entirely from Weddy?
A: Let's find out.

Q: What are your reasons for making your own instance?
A: Weddy hides too much shit. Nothing against weddy, I just know that it's more productive to take matters into my own hands instead of bitching.

Q: Why not use another instance instead of hosting your own?
A: I'm a control freak.

Q: How big is it?
A: Weird question, sounds more impressive in centimeters if you don't know how to read it.

Nous avons migré vers un serveur plus adapté, nous republions donc notre texte de présentation :)

Version complète avec les sources : fedipourgaza.codeberg.page

--
Le 19 octobre 2025, un canal s’est ouvert quelque part sur Mastodon, comme un feu allumé au creux d’un champ. Il n’y avait pas d’institution, pas de drapeau, seulement des voix qui s’appelaient, des gens qui se reconnaissaient. Ce petit groupe, on l’a nommé fedipourgaza. Ce n’est pas une organisation, mais un fil tendu entre des inconnu·es qui refusent de détourner les yeux. Une poignée d'humaines et d'humains qui croient qu’il est encore possible de réparer quelque chose du monde, pixel après pixel.

Il y a la petite dame brune, prof de lettres , qui prête sa voix à celles et ceux qui n’en ont plus, Raphaella qui relaye, Safae la poètesse qui glisse des mots de Gaza dans les trains et sur les tables des cafés, Jeanne l'écrivaine. Il y a Gomli, informaticien campagnard, flûtiste du dimanche et artisan du code, Millerebonds le cycliste biologiste qui sait que les lignes de code et les racines des plantes respirent de la même façon, Thom, qui a un pied dans la technologie, l’autre dans la fraternité et d’autres encore, silencieux·ses, constant·es.

À la racine du groupe, il y a une idée née d’ailleurs, celle de Joy @joynewacc, palestinienne de gaza, et Aral @aral, irlandais, sur son île. Sur Mastodon, défilaient les appels à l’aide venus de Gaza, comme des bouteilles à la mer dans un océan d’indifférence. Les réseaux commerciaux bannissaient ces voix, ou les enterraient sous leurs algorithmes. Alors un autre chemin a été inventé : gaza-verified.org . Plutôt que de croire aveuglément, Aral et Joy ont choisi de vérifier humainement. Une conversation vidéo sur Signal ou Jitsi, un visage, une voix, une rue derrière, avec Joy en tant qu'interprète, familière du dialecte et des lieux, et Aral faisant le lien de l'autre côté . Et quand la vérité apparaissait, iels ajoutaient une petite coche verte au profil. Rien d’automatique, juste la reconnaissance d’un être vivant.

Pendant l’offensive terrestre israélienne, seize familles vérifiées se sont retrouvées coincées au nord, sans argent pour fuir. Aral a ouvert une cagnotte, hébergée sur sa propre fondation libre, la Small Web Fondation. En quelques jours, quarante mille dollars ont afflué, venus du monde entier. Ils ont été redistribués, jusqu’au centime, pour des tentes, des camions, des terrains, des vivres. Aral a tout noté, conversions, frais, reçus, dans un souci d’exactitude presque douloureux. Puis il a fermé la cagnotte. Il ne voulait plus, disait-il, « décider qui a le droit de vivre ».

Chaque famille a gardé sa propre collecte. Le réseau a pris le relais. C’est à ce moment que fedipourgaza s’est levé. Un faisceau d’écrans et de mains, un collectif sans centre qui traduit, relaie, veille. Chacun·e a créé sur Mastodon une liste de comptes vérifiés, un jardin protégé où ne pousse que l’authentique. C’est un outil technique et pourtant fragile comme une prière : suivre sans bruit, traduire sans trahir, amplifier sans déformer. Les messages de Gaza deviennent des visages. Aseel Monther jeune ingénieure, écrit : « Je marchais dans une rue autrefois pleine de vie. Maintenant, c’est un cimetière de poussière et de feu. » Elle décrit des enfants qui jouent parmi les gravats, leurs rires clairs comme des éclats de verre dans la lumière. Mohammed Shobair confie : « Ma vie dépend de ma capacité à utiliser cette application. Si je me fais bannir, je perds tout. S’il vous plaît, ne répondez pas aux trolls. Bloquez, continuez votre journée. » Ces mots circulent de fil en fil, comme une sève lente.

Les membres de fedipourgaza s’organisent. Millerebonds contacte des hébergeurs web indépendants, Thom rédige des portraits, Safae écrit des poèmes, la petite dame brune les lit à ses étudiant·es, Gomli rassemble les informations, Jeanne rédige cet appel. Ils traduisent, reformulent, ajoutent un souffle personnel : ce texte me bouleverse, ce visage me hante, cette phrase me sauve. Les posts deviennent des ponts. Un poème, parfois, dépose sa lumière : « Il était une ville errante, béante, brûlante sous les feux des soldats. Gaza. » Au verso, un seul mot : .

Tout se fait sans géants numériques. Mastodon pour parler, Signal et Jitsi pour se voir, et des serveurs libres pour tout abriter. La machine mondiale tourne sans eux, avec le battement têtu de celles et ceux qui refusent de se taire.

Certains jours, le réel traverse l’écran. « Internet coûte cher, je ne peux pas envoyer de vidéos. Je jure que je fais de mon mieux. » Puis : « Mon cousin Abdullah a voulu voir la maison. Ils ont été pris pour cible. Aidez-nous avant qu’il ne meure. » Ces phrases tombent comme des pierres dans l’eau. Personne ne sait quoi dire. On partage, on relaie, on continue.

New instance, new #introduction :3

I’m Lunya, a very silly transfem catgirl. I write code which I host on my Git forge and I also put videos on YouTube and some of them on PeerTube.

All interactions with me are platonic. I might infodump about my projects or interests. I will boost yuri, and I’ll meow on fedi periodically.

Donations are welcome on Ko-fi. These will go into my servers and into my projects.

Read more about me on my website. You can also find all of my projects here.

Introduction post, leak of my AD

I've been meaning to write a correct here for a while now, so here we go!

I'm Pouet·te! I'm still figuring out who I am, but mainly identify as enby :3 I reject the idea of sticking to a defined gender and live my life as I please :neocat_floof_cute:
You're welcome to use any pronouns! I personally use he/him out of habit and try my best to switch to they/it :3

I believe I'm polyA.. but only has been in exclusive relationships until now .-. I (painfully) realized exclusivity wasn't made for me, so I'll only engage in polyA/open relationship from now on :3
Tho in terms of feelings I'm currently fairly broken, and can't let myself start any romantic relationship for now >.<

I also identify as pan, as I've been attracted to every body shapes :neocat_aww:
I'm very slutty and very horny,,, Flirt and lewdness are welcome :neocat_3c: I also happen to have an AD : @YourLewdFemboy where I'll start to post my horny thoughts and maybe some pics when I'll feel comfortable doing so :3
Don't hesitate to reach for a bit of chat, even casually :blob_cat_heart:

I live in Rennes, where I do a PhD in computer science! If you happen to be near me, I'm always happy to meet with new people :neocat_pleading:
I spend most of my time learning new things and spending time with people I care about :blob_cat_heart: My future projects include learning how to sew and to crochet

I have got a fursona (as my current PP), if your interested, you can see my post about it: eldritch.cafe/@Pouet/115317310

I sometimes express myself awkwardly, or accidentally say inappropriate things... Please tell me if I happen to hurt you in any way, I'm trying to improve myself each day

Have a wonderful day, you deserve it 💜

It was delightful to work with such kind and talented artist :neocat_pleading: I couldn't have chosen better for a first commission, really :blob_cat_heart: Let me present to you my first ever fursona! I love it so much :neocat_pleading: This one represent me, as I would like to be with all my heart... This one is a hybrid, mainly hyena but with finer traits, as a cat would be, and a fluffy fox tail :3 Its coat is light in color, with a white belly that fades to a lavender purple through a soft pink. Its eyes are different colors, the left one is blue and the right one is pink. A mane starts as a shaggy tuft on top of the head and extends down to the tail. This entire tuft of hair is the color of a rainbow in pastel shades. Its personality is like a playful cat, proud and confident under any circumstances, always spreading happiness and smiles among its friends. Yet, it remains independent, as a cat would be :neocat_3c:

Who should I be following on lately?
(Boosts appreciated)

I'd appreciate some help finding more people to follow-- tags below give a sense of who I'm looking to follow-- is this you or anyone you think I should be following?

Despite following almost 650 people over the last few years, my timeline feels increasingly empty and stale lately, a ghost town compared to a year ago or more, and I'm looking at refreshing things a bit. A lot of people have left the platform or are (understandably) afraid to post so much, especially due to the chilling effect of rising . But I'm still here, still posting. Still writing my shit. Still trying to read and engage with others.

Okay, it's time!

I live, work, and play on the unceded and unsurrendered territory of many hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples; may I learn from them how to be a good steward of this land.

I first joined Mastodon back in 2017 but really didn't start using the account on my main server until Twitter got bought up by an unethical capitalist. I'm on the progressive end of the political spectrum, which I suspect is rooted in my upbringing as a second generation Filipina-American.

@bloomyjaz@critter.cafe

Intro post!

I'm always sorta bad at this kinda thing but I figured I should at least try to write one here (might be a little rambley) 😅

I am BloomyJaz, I tend to describe myself as a critter/creature so I felt like this would be the best place to set up shop since the current Bluesky owner seems to be rather iffy. I am non-binary, demiromantic, and aceflux! I tend to use social media as a way to dump my various thoughts somewhere & keep tabs on people I like ngl so a lot of the time I forget to interact but I'll try. :bunhdlurkaww:

I am interested in photography, hares, rabbits, Linux and other free and open software (I currently use Debian!,) plushies (I am objectum :3,) Minecraft & the Hermitcraft SMP (Tango, Etho, and Grian are my favorites!,) old FPS games like Half-Life, DOOM, Wolf 3D, etc. :bunhduwu:

My musical taste is all over but I feel I really spend most of my time listening to music by Leyland Kirby and his various aliases (The Caretaker, V/Vm, The Stranger, etc.) I also like a little Pink Floyd, Oneohtrix Point Never, video game soundtracks, my top genres the past 12 months being Art Rock, Soundtrack, Rock, Classic Rock, and Idm. I also really like plunderphonics. I have also dabbled in making The Caretaker-esque sounding tracks which can be found on my Bandcamp! :bunhdmlem:

My name is Rikke (she/her), I'm from Denmark and I'm quite new to Mastodon, but have been on Lemmy most of the year. I live with my wonderful boyfriend and one of the most well behaved cats I've ever meet

I love sharing my crafts and looking at other peoples. I mostly do and I'm so behind on stitch along from cloudsfactory but I also joined 5 months late and am mostly working on an other nonshareable project.

The project I'm probably most proud of is my version of the dinosaur pattern, which i made a few years ago.

I also dable a little in crochet and am in the process of learning to knit.

I also work on Emacs packaging, and post about that here. I hoard links and don't like repeating myself and don't know what I am doing.

@purplerabbit@app.wafrn.net

Hello people of wafrn, uhm… waffles? I'm Omega, your friendly local transfeminine bunnygirl thing. I'm sure you already have a few of those, well, now you have one more. :3

I've had my eye on this place for a while. I've always been interested in Tumblr, but only the concept. Tumblr in itself never really appealed to me. The intercommunity drama, the proprietary-ness of it and not to mention all of the mess that happened with the CEO and the company itself… woof, no thanks.

Cohost looked awesome! And I would've probably loved it if I had heard of it before it's death. :(

I exist on multiple spaces on the internet, I shared an awesome gotosocial instance with my lovely girlfriend @moonfaced but as of writing this, my account has been disabled. I loved it and I'll come back to it eventually, probably as a more private account thing. But I left because I kept getting exposed to posts that were deeply harmful to me and that were not CW'd properly from people from other fediverse places.

I broke down and left, I'll come back when I have the energy to sort through all of these things. I'm trying this place because from the rules, it's taking trans people's safety and content warning very seriously.

Here's a little pledge to this community: I vow to do my best to not stir up unnecessary drama and to always be the best bunny I can be. All posts that needs them will be properly CW'd with actually descriptive content warnings and I'll always try to be the safest person I can be for this community.

Please note that I'm a chronically anxious person, so I may over-react in fear of having done something wrong here and there. Please, always try and assume the best in my intentions, give me the benefit of the doubt, I always mean well.

I'll be a good bunny, I promise. :neobun_heart:

Is this a proper introduction? I'm a few years in, but better late than never.

I work in and some though I come more from a background of and (though I haven't done this a goodly number of years). Living in central provides me with long winters where I'd fritter away my time indoors plunking at and . After cutting my teeth of BASIC, it was all downhill from there.

I have wired entire houses (in a very legal manner), and am a fan of . I have a few published works of art, and if you live in North America you've probably seen some of my other work, though I often can't take direct credit for it.

I love . I also sometimes hate cats. I'm probably more a person, but too lazy for them.

Though specialize in using but I really enjoy using software, and have used as my main driver for many years.

As a fun project with my family and an outlet from work, we're taking our bad puns and making them into good designs. Or vice versa!

Tu Wasza syrena migrująca z pol.social.

Na mojej ulubionej tegorocznej płycie (Autopark - La Reunion) pojawia się fraza "moje napadi nežnosti" - napady delikatności, ataki wrażliwości. Przetłumaczyłam to sobie jako przypływy czułości, ponieważ czułość zawiera w sobie wszystkie te stany. Czułość jako zdolność do odbierania, rejestrowania, a zarazem sposób tworzenia i przekazywania. Czułość, którą staram się w sobie pielęgnować i której wypatruję wokół. W muzyce, książkach, w relacjach międzyludzkich, w wydarzeniach, na które zazwyczaj nie mam żadnego wpływu, a jednak nie mogę pozostać wobec nich obojętną. Nie po tym, co przeszłam.

"Przypływy czułości" to również nazwa programu z muzyką i słowem, nad którym obecnie pracuję. Kiedyś robiłam audycje radiowe, ale rok temu zrozumiałam, że nie chcę już mówić o muzyce tak, jak wymaga tego radio. Jakiś czas później odkryłam w sobie odwagę, by mówić i pisać o niej tak, jak bym naprawdę chciała. Czuję, że to właściwy moment, by zacząć.

Wszystkim, czym zamierzam się dzielić, będę się dzelić z czułością. Okiem przeżycia, nie analizy, ani krytyki.

Czuła syrena płynie na delikatnej fali. Nie bój się, oddychaj pod powierzchnią. W przypływie czułości nie sposób utonąć.

Ri-introduction (1/2)

I'm Ri Goat. I'm a bedbound spoonie with a heart full of poetri. Whenever I hug you virtually, I feel that hug inside my own heart. I hope you feel it too. I toot about recurring life events like receiving groceries or having a cleaner in my house or experiencing ableism in society. I constantly talk about or share photo's of the birds I can see from my bed. Sometimes I'm lucky enough to talk about or share photo's of the birds I can see from my balcony. I used to read a lot of books but now I'm too ill to do that so I spent most of my time with all kinds of podcasts. When left alone with my own thoughts I constantly break out in spontaneous laughter or I start quoting Andrea Gibson poems.

I'm autistic with ME/CFS and a whole lot of neurodiverse and health-issues that are commonly related to those. I'm queer and still discovering and defining my plural and otherkin identies. My spoon levels seem to decline slowely over time, but for now I can sit or lay down in bed all day with a few excursions to the bathroom and the kitchen. I hardly ever leave the house and even sitting on the couch or balcony is rare. I cannot do phonecalls, and I cannot look at any video or animation.

The character is wearing a leather pup hood, bulldog style harness, leather chaps and boots. He's also holding a metal pipe resting over one shoulder like one would hold a baseball bat. The sketch is done in black with a hot pink as the background color.

non-sexually explicit BDSM imagery and nudity

Hello I'm new here, and not entirely sure what I'm doing. I'm also pup-void on tumblr, and plan to stay active there until I eventually get deleted for posting nsfw. Here's an old drawing of mine as an offering.

I’ve made multiple intros like this before but I didn’t back them up, so here goes another…

Hello! I’m snakebites-and-ink.

I’m cautious about sharing my real name online, so you can call me my username, some derivative of it, or another good-faith nickname. I’m also cautious about sharing my precise age, but I am an adult. My pronouns are He/Him and I'm aroace.

I like whump—characters suffering and optionally being comforted afterward (all in a purely fictional capacity of course). That is the main thing I made my tumblr for, what most of my current writing is, and something that will probably feature heavily on my blog here. A few of my favorite whump tropes are conditioning/brainwashing, mind control, pet whump, living weapon whump, and carewhumpers.

Some of my other interests include (but certainly aren't limited to): biology, especially marine biology; fantasy, especially dragons; animals; anything that makes me laugh; and creative work, especially writing.

I’m an amateur writer. I’ve written series (though so far nothing really longer than novellette length), miniseries, and quite a few drabbles. I plan to post at least some of my writing here, though I’ve yet to decide what or how much (suggestions are welcome!).

I came from Tumblr, which has been my main social media for a long time, but that might change with all the negative changes they’re forcing on their users. My url there is snakebites-and-ink. That’s where I’ve posted most of my work so far; here’s my masterlist. You might have also seen me on goblin here on the fediverse, but that seems to be down now.

Interactions are welcome! But I can be both socially awkward and socially anxious, so please give me the benefit of the doubt.

@Zak@oomfie.city

- Heya! :blobcatcoffee:

I'm Zak. I'm 23, and go by any/all pronouns. I'm a tech nerd and linux lover - as well, I play too many video games of all genres. Along with doing photography, I'm also a drummer, singer & songwriter for a band! Working on our first record, at the moment. :blobcatdrums:

I daily drive Fedora, and do most of my gaming on it - whether PC titles or emulation. Most of my console stuff is played through emulation, as well. I love games from all eras! I mainly grew up with Nintendo, from the GCN onward, but love any game that is fun to me.

Nice to meet you! :ablobcatwave:

Introduction time!

Hi everyone! I'm Lerun (pronounced as Le-roon), an artist who draws a lot of stuff, mostly furry (mostly anthro) and OCs but sometimes I draw fanart too!

I'm also a professional yapper, so bear with me:A_BlobCat_DealWithIt:

That's pretty much it!

Hope you enjoy your stay!

(I'll eventually post those drawings separately once pinned posts are a thing here, just so you know!)

The other goat is light-gray with longer pink hair, has white bows with purple diamonds on her head, darker gray horns, wears dark-purple shirt and light-purple skirt. The fairy goat is teasing the gray goat who's flustered. Forest background.

@NIGHTEN@hi.nighten.fr

I’ve been on fedi for 3 years, so I’m taking the opportunity of #PortfolioDay to make a proper #introduction !

My name is Nighten and I love to draw very detailed illustration about city and nature. Most of my artworks are set in the same continuity and universe, see if you can spot the link between them!

Most importantly, I publish a weekly art newsletter where I dive deep into my art, project and inspiration. I think it’s very good so feel free to join and read the archive! :)

(You even get free coloring pages by subscribing!)

And thank you if you decide to follow me! I hope my art will bring you joy 🌸

🌊 Introduction

Hi wafrn! My name is Mavis and I'm a Two-Spirit Borikén Taíno (Puerto Rican) creative making art and streaming games online! I'm a full-time artist and streamer pursuing my passion as my career. I wrote a guide on how to support your favorite artists online.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: I make art and talk about things that are NSFW. Minors DNI, and adults please be aware before following me!

I like to draw my OCs and think about fictional men I'd like to kiss! You can expect to see a lot of OC art, OC/Canon works, and self-indulgent content such as yumeships (self ships) with a splash of fanart and other things on the side. I specialize in drawing plus-size characters, though you'll easily see diverse body types in my art. My two main OCs are Mavis and their partner Pern.

You can read more about me and check out what I'm into on my about page. Thanks for reading, and I look forward to meeting you! :neocat_melt_sob_heart_256:

My current projects include my personal website, my blog, my directory for my characters, and so much more I wish I had more time for.

My favorite video games are Overwatch, DELTARUNE/UNDERTALE, and Pokémon.

#introduction #art #artist
My original characters Pern (left, he/him) and Mavis (right, she/they) floating together in what appears to be a starry sky, but it's in bisexual pride flag colors (gradient from pink, to purple, to blue). They are smiling happily and looking at each other with affectionate expressions, while facing opposite directions and reaching out to one another. Pern's hand is outstretched downward and Mavis's hand is outstretched upward, implying she'll place her hand in his. Mavis is considerably smaller than Pern. Mavis is wearing her monarch outfit without her skirt; Pern is wearing his Sorcerer King attire, donned in red with his extravagant shoulderpads and long sparkling cape.

A digital drawing of Pern Valerian and Mavis DeLuna. Mavis is holding onto Pern’s arm, looking up and to her left (our right). While she is distracted, Pern looks at her with a faux-calm expression. He’s yearning, and there’s a subtle blush on his cheeks.

A digital drawing of my OC, Cosmo DeLuna. Cosmo is a tan elf with pastel pink hair with a soft yellow shine. He's wearing a long-sleeved shirt with puffy sleeves, black pants, and knee-high white heeled boots with gold trim. He's also wearing a dark pink cloak with gold trim and glowing constellations on the underside of the cape. His cloth belt is the same color as his cloak. He's looking at the viewer with a tilted head in a sitting position, one hand on his left knee while his right hand keeps him balanced.

An anime-style drawing of a purple tiefling. He's shirtless with a pink towel wrapped around his waist. He's got purple skin and horns protruding from his head that arch to the sides. He has long dark purple hair that reaches his mid-back. He's soaking wet and his chest has top surgery scars, implying he is transgender. He also has gold bar nipple piercings. He's asking "Have you guys seen my glasses?"
