Hey, hi, hello!

mx here - geek, nerd, jack of many trades (master of none, obviously). Art and design, programming, hacking, reverse engineering, music.

Here mostly for the type and lettering, and to get first-hand fediverse experience.

Attached is a quick digital sketch to commemorate my overdue "some time lurker, first time poster" moment :)

#introduction #graphicdesign #typography #lettering #coding #programming #hacking #reverseengineering

i joined wafrn and pillowfort around the same time earlier today but only put an intro on pillowfort for some reason but i already like this site better and feel at home here so i'm gonna just copy my intro post over because i've spent a loot of energy today doing dumb shit like "gardening" and "being a parent" and "walking to go get ice cream"

hey, i'm z. i'm intensely shy and use the internet as a combination personal diary/external thought processing device.

i'm reflective, opinionated, and often abrasive; a lot of people don't like me at first. other people like me a lot at first and then change their minds when we disagree on something lol

i'm not sure what to say honestly, i've introduced myself on a thousand sites and it's always so different because i'm in different places in my life.

i've achieved some degree of celebrity and renown in the super elite circles of facebook groups, and then faded into obscurity again. a few times. i started a cult once which was a horrible experience, i don't recommend it. i have a really dry sense of humour, blame the autism and the trauma. the facebook groups thing was self deprecating humour if that wasn't clear; i don't actually consider being recognized by various internet "anarchists" as celebrity but if you've heard of the beardy watching eye, you probably already know and hate me. you also probably have not heard of me because i don't think these circles overlap much. which is good because i actually hate being loathed.

uhhhh i used to run the world's largest all-gender abuse support group. i'm proud of that accomplishment but it was in a very dark time of my life and so i don't reminisce on the details much. there's a degree of irony that as i was helping others cope with their situations, i was involved in a much darker one; the cult thing happened concurrently and with a large degree of overlap.

i used to be an activist, going to marches, i even met with the superintendent of the california board of education or whatever their position was to modernize and standardize bullying reporting procedure in the state, and was involved in the movement to make harvey milk day a statewide holiday. i'm not in california any more.

i'm queer, in gender, sexuality, and personality. if some humans have fae blood, and if autists are changelings, i live in that intersection.

i'm happy to make new friends! but i'm not everyone's cup of tea.

also, i'm wrong a lot. since i'm super opinionated, sometimes i will say incredibly dumb shit. give me time to figure it out, i revise my opinions when i have more information. i don't like staying wrong.

i complain a lot, and i rant about life and ramble about my theories. some people find it entertaining so if you like that kinda thing, i'm your dude. if you can't stand someone who's too navel-gazey and self-obsessed for their own good, you might not like me but i do try to root everything i do and believe in compassion to make up for it.

i can be bitchy, 27+ years of therapy didn't help that, so it's not likely to change. it's not intentional. i use the same username on tumblr

i also write poetry and short stories sometimes. and fanfiction; i'm nigiri ashika on ao3 and ff.net

i draw, my defunct drawing facebook is "Gwyn Shae". i post drawings on my main facebook and sometimes tumblr as well. Might start posting them here too if this place sticks in my head. it seems nice here.

Hi everyone!

Super stoked to be working with @_elena on her Fediverse video series, can't wait to share our work with the world!

In the meantime, I think I'll use this account to post some stills from recent
projects. Stay tuned 🤑

moved instances yesterday (hi) so here's a new intro

i'm loren! i spend most of my time online lurking or tending to my personal website, but i dream of a world in which it is fun to post.

i love html and css and science fiction and zines and taking photos of bugs and playing video games and walking around outside and building model kits and flipping over rocks and analyzing data and reacting with ambiguous emojis and trying new things and goofing around.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to my interns Riyen (@patel.riyen) & Sam (@samaaberg). They will be working with me through the end of June on videos promoting the Fediverse. This is their #introduction.

Sam & Riyen are two talented film students who are #NewHere: a mere 7 days ago they had no idea what the Fediverse was. I have the immense honor of introducing them to it.

We are filming this week! Send us good vibes 🎥✨ #EleFediVideos

I do not need another #introduction

Hello, just moved accounts from Fosstodon. Before that I was on mastodon.technology.

I'm a vegan, tree lover, and father of the most adorable little girl in the world. I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and post a fair bit about gardening.
 I've been called "surprisingly handy" (by my spouse).

I'm also a software developer (mainly Rust) and have been a Linux user for quite some time. Death to big tech, especially so-called "AI".

Occasional USPol, though mostly via boosts.

I've never made an introduction post before but here we are..
First of all, my username is about the little story of stravinsky and debussy because I think it's funny
Second of all, I love lists so let's continue in a list form

• Audio Dramas I like:

. Wooden overcoats
. Fawx and stallion
. red valley
. sherlock and co
. the amelia project
. the magnus archives
. I'm starting malevolent and remnants soon too
. this list will surely expand in the future

• Some of my obsession books:

. sherlock holmes (also granada holmes. I know it isn't a book but it's okay)
. dracula
. carmilla
. the folks of the air (book series)
. wuthering heights
. the picture of dorian grey
. the tell tale heart
. this list is getting long so I'll stop

• music I like:

. I like classical music in general
. the crane wives
. the amazing devil
. the dresden dolls
. solya
. paris paloma

• other interests and hobbies:

. MBTI
. I'm a pianist
. embroidery
. coffee
. planning
. math
. yes that's enough I like way too many things

Well, that was my introduction post. it was exhausting to make, it'll be exhausting to read. Btw, I follow everyone who follows me back!

Hello, Fediverse! I recently moved from @arnelson and I'm now self-hosting Mastodon from a server in my living room!

I don't think I've actually posted an introduction before?

I'm Adam. I write code. In theory, I use Mastodon to talk about programming and tech and my own side projects (which I rotate constantly but never seem to finish).

In practice, I mostly use Mastodon to boost memes and talk about whatever video game I'm currently obsessed with. So if that's what you're here for, follow me!

This move ensures better reliability and aligns with our commitment to open-source principles.​

I use arch btw (and hyprland) cuz I'm cool and uh that's it

I also like being cool, but the thing is that I'm always cool (instead if you insult me i'm not cool and i'll beat your ass)

Heyo, I'm new to Wafrn and a former Cohost user. I love retro computers and I may blog about it from time to time.

Why Wafrn? Most fedi stuff is too "fast" for my tastes. Even the Mastodon instance I'm signed onto has a 500 character limit, but I'm used to writing in-depth posts about my adventures with old devices or retro computers or whatever.

I may get the ball rolling by posting some of my older and newer write-ups on here, and test to see how I like this platform. I hope to meet new friends and stuff.

Here's an old photo I took of my 2004 laptop running NetBSD (Omoikane: 256 MB of RAM, no SSE2 instructions, etc).

See ya around.

(EDIT: just noticed the photo isn't showing up for some Mastodon users, I may have to take a different approach. Here's a similar photo of my laptop from my Neocities: https://jetsetruri.neocities.org/blog/2024-06-24_omoikane-001.jpg )

Is this thing on?

Hello again Fediverse, and hello my fellow polymaths! For those, who don't know me: I'm Nikita, a 25-year-old web developer from Germany 🇩🇪

To be honest, I don't always consider myself a real polymath, for I spend most of my time coding: both at my job and at home. While I don't have other hobbies, I do enjoy other activities: cooking, watching YouTube, and cycling. And I can yap non-stop about linguistics, graphic design, and open-source projects!

I also have a blog which I don't update as often as I'd like to :(

Thrilled to have moved here and excited for what's to come!

Nouvel arrivant suite à la clôture prochaine de l'instance @zaclys

Je suis doctorant en sociologie au sein du @cedurkheim et je travaille sur la convergence des monde sociaux. Plus particulièrement, je m'interroge sur les modalités de rapprochements entre le mondes câbles sous marins et celui des centres de données de colocation, qui ont vu leurs infrastructures se relier directement depuis une dizaine d'années seulement.

Au delà de la thèse, j'apprécie la lecture des sciences humaines et sociales en général, et je suis intéressé par la culture et les alternatives libres dans le numérique.

Hi #Mastodon / #hachyderm

Just a quick re-#introduction after moving instances.

I'm a software developer based in the Netherlands. I'm passionate about Software, HAM Radio, Electronics... and I love blogging (although it has been a while 😅 )

From now on, this is going to be my central hub, where I will be publishing blog posts, project updates and anything I consider interesting for the community.

Looking forward to chat with lots of people!

Time for an #introduction... again!

My name is Christine Lemmer-Webber, I'm co-author/co-editor of the ActivityPub standard which connects together the fediverse (Mastodon, Peertube, Sharkey, GotoSocial, etc). In other words, I'm one of several people who worked on the specification by which you're getting this very message!

I'm also Executive Director of the Spritely Institute! We're making next-generation decentralized tech https://spritely.institute

I moved here from @cwebber@octodon.social! Hello again!

A re- #introduction toot: I'm yet another c. 2022 fosstodonian who found a new home in the fediverse. I'm a photographer & a retired fine art framer based in Reno, Nevada, (USA) & I'm in the process of moving to the Four Corners region. I've been running Linux since the late '90s. All photos are mine & edited using Darktable. I follow science, history, & photography toots. Here's a photo I made of Bonsai Rock, Lake Tahoe, Nevada (2017).

Hi floss.social. Just moved in from https://fosstodon.org/@ygor

I'm an #ElectricalEngineer from #Brazil, currently living in #France for many years. I work as a #SoftwareDeveloper, writing proprietary software for #microfluidics (I do wish I could work on #FreeSoftware for a living instead). My favorite programming language is #rustlang, but I use/have used about a dozen other languages, they're alright. I'm also a fan of #animation.

#Introduction (April 2025 edition)

Hi, I’m Kate. I’m a 41-year-old software developer based in the south-west of England. I’m best known for my National Grid: Live site at https://grid.iamkate.com.

I’m the Development Director at https://itseeze.com, where in 2007 I created a CMS that’s now used by thousands of sites across the UK and Ireland.

I’ve been in a relationship with @Clare since 2008, and we married in 2013. Same-sex marriage wasn’t legal yet, but we found a loophole: I’m trans.

I spend quite a bit of my time sewing, but I also love music, I read, bake, knit, I watch a lot of films. I recharge in the nature & around animals. I hike & take way too many photos. And I believe in kindness and the “do good anyway”.
Also, I’m currently trying to improve my German 💪

Hey we're Cy, a trans and queer system of at least 10 people. Few will probably show themselves. They/them is alright by most of us.
We dabble in art, and I've recently picked up pixel art. So stay tuned for beginner art.
We're butch/masc leaning neutral but have been told we'd make a great femboy.
Jazz fan, been listening to Scandinavian jazz lately and some current listens are "Forsvinder" by Bremer/McCoy and "Over Tage" by Svaneborg Kardyb.
Great to be here

#introduction We are a cell biology lab based at @Warwick_CMCB. We are interested in two processes fundamental to eukaryotic cellular life: cell division and membrane trafficking. Our toots are mainly about lab news: new preprints and papers, talks; but also fun things in the lab and a bit of lab life.

#Introduction (just moved to new instance)

I am a cell biologist running a research group (@roylelab) focused on membrane traffic and cell division in human cells. My lab is in @Warwick_CMCB at #WarwickUni. My posts are mainly about #science and #CellBiology but also #music, #running and #cycling.

My previous handle was clathrin. For my data analysis alter-ego, follow @quantixed.

Hello again, World! An #Introduction

I'm JBQ, 50-ish, he/him, French-born, currently moving from Spokane, WA, USA to Preveza, Greece.

I have worked on operating systems, browsers, SDKs, and similar tech, mostly for mobile. Most visibly, I managed the Open-Source aspects of Android from 2009 (1.6) to 2013 (4.3).

I am currently active in the Atari ST #OpenSource #DemoScene, as Djaybee from the MegaBuSTers.

My strongest languages are C and assembly (especially 68k). I've touched many more.

Hi, I'm Jean! After being here for a year without one, it's time for an #introduction.

I'm a #gamedesign student. Most recently I've been working on a team of 22 amazing people, developing an Alice in Wonderland-themed roguelike.

I'm a quiet person and tend to think slowly. I like being in the sun and reading fiction. For fiction, usually comedy but lately action-romance. I do cooking and baking although my favorite is eating. My other interests include writing, accessibility, and mermaids.

Hello, just moved accounts from Fosstodon. Before that I was on mastodon.technology.

I'm a vegan, tree lover, and father of the most adorable little girl in the world. I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, and post a fair bit about gardening.
 I've been called "surprisingly handy" (by my spouse).

I'm also a software developer (mainly Rust) and have been a Linux user for quite some time. Death to big tech, especially so-called "AI".

Occasional USPol, though mostly via boosts.

#introduction

I spend quite a bit of my time sewing, but I also love music, I read, bake, knit, I watch a lot of films. I recharge in the nature & around animals. I hike & take way too many photos. And I believe in kindness and the “do good anyway”.
Also, I’m currently trying to improve my German 💪

Hey there! The new #introduction time

My name is Daria, I am a low poly 3d artist from Siberia. I currently work in a very small gamedev team.
I love reading books, spending time outdoors, riding my bike, walking everywhere, doing random projects, listening to some alt music. My other passion are TTRPGs! I play mostly weekly.
I am in my 30s. I am a proud cat mom and in a long-term relationship with my partner.

Languages: ENG + RU

Always against mega corps, attention economy and overconsumption.

Hi! I'm Thea, I'm queer, neurodivergent, and 30-ish years old. I like books, cats, photography, I also crochet, play video games and spend way too much time online.

I've been on fedi for a while, my main account is a bit more serious and I get more personal there, and I think this is mostly just going to be a place where I can be silly and say random things lol

I'm sort of shy, but like meeting new people, so don't be afraid to say hi

howdy, figure i'd make a small intro post!!

i'm elf. i'm an appalachian agender elf-horse-thing who's trying to maybe migrate over to the fediverse and this is my first real account i suppose!

been a furry since i was about 7-8 (i'm now almost 27, lol) so that's a big part of me. sometimes i draw! but i post that rarely. i like mmos, the elder scrolls (especially morrowind), disco elysium, death stranding, katana zero, and elden ring to name a few things. my favorite musician is vylet pony, and a few of my favorite movies are everything is illuminated, everything everywhere all at once, nope, and megamind as a treat.

if i post things, it'll probably be about my OCs and or my partner's OCs and will be tagged as such. my OCs are marwyd, wakeland, tiyrnan, tsujio, penbrooke, layncaster, luis, and madellyne to name a few. they're generally my guild wars 2 ocs but my main guys have a story written about them by my partner where i do some of the art. it's currently published on AO3, called "the haunters". the short version is it's about ghost hunting, fame, and being haunted by more than just ghouls-- but your past. you can find it here; link ! my partner doesn't have an account here yet but if you like his writing please consider checking out his tumblr @/kamiporterbridges. :)

otherwise i'm just here for the posts of others!!!

I'm Vee, (she/they.) I'm here from Tumblr - since it's always in a precarious position, I figured now would be a great time to see what other social media is out there. I think I might have a mastodon account but haven't really figured that out just yet.

Fandoms:
*Jujutsu Kaisen/JJK (itafushi has me in its clutches)
*Naruto
*Revolutionary Girl Utena
*Various Iterations of Sherlock Holmes
… And many more!

Hobbies/Interests:
*Orchids & other houseplants
*Religion & Religious studies (usually more towards liberation theology/queer theology of Christianity, paganism/witchcraft, western esotericism)

I also write fanfic on AO3 under the same URL. Look forward to chatting with yall here :)

Hi! I'm a software engineer making games in my free time for classic systems, mostly 8-bit (Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, MSX and C64); but lately also MS/DOS.

My latest release at the moment is The Heart of Salamanderland for the #Amstrad CPC.

Some of my 8-bit releases have a physical edition by Poly.Play (and others).

I also love OSS and programming in different languages, so expect a bit of that as well!

My games are free to download: https://www.usebox.net/jjm/

#introduction

Hello!

My name is Boone (or Snivy) (or Jasper), and I came here from Tumblr!

I like writing dark fantasy short stories, and often grasshopper from one project to another without finishing a single one 😅

One day I hope to write a novel (or three), but first I have to figure out a coherent plot for it all!

I'm not a huge fandom person, but I'm suuuper into the Witcher (the video game moreso than the show, though Joey Batey has a place in my heart). I also enjoy DnD and other tabletop games (I had a project of turning TW3 into a tabletop game, but, alas). I dabble in text rpgs and coding, though my knowledge of them is rather rusty.

I draw sometimes but get intimidated by people who are a lot better at art than me.

I hope to chat with some people and make friends! Or just find another place to be once Tumblr finally goes into the ether

Hey there! After being there since 2017 I am an octodon.social refugee. So let's do a new #introduction.

I'm a #music lover and listen (mainly) to #electro, #chiptune, #hiphop, and #frenchrap.
I play the #guitar, the #ukulele, ... and a lot of #videogames.

For a living, I am a #dev trying to use tech to build apps that are healthy for our society.

Obviously #linux and #opensource enthusiast as well.

Cheers and happy tooting!

Time for an #introduction! I'm an #academic working at the Faculty of #Veterinary Med #VetEd, Utrecht University in the Netherlands in #FarmAnimalWelfare, #AnimalBehavior and #AnimalCognition, and the role of livestock in #sustainability in #FoodSystems. Also getting students and the #Utrecht community connected with #CommunityEngagedLearning and myself with the world outside the uni through #PublicEngagement and #SciComm. Team #chicken because they are smarter (and cooler) than you think.

#Introduction
Hello Cortex Implant,
I'm Kino (she/they), I build music hardware fulltime, I'm the original industrial worker of the music industry and I also play with these sound machines... I compose, I design. I plug and unplug more than 1000 cables per day for weeks. Sometimes...
I live in Helsinki and I was born in Greece. I'm on a journey, I'm on a trip.
I also love spending time in nature and a good cup of tea.

Heya, I'm Blix. I came here from Tumblr because of the potential shutdown, but also to escape some of the annoying bots on there.
I enjoy folklore, mostly stories that involve monsters and mythical creatures. My current hyperfixation is the Lego Monkie Kid series and journey to the west. Sometimes I draw stuff (mostly OCs) for fun and only if I feel motivated. I guess the Squirrel OC is my sona in way.

most of my days i spend recovering my health, playing some games and watching DYKG trivia.

perhaps you can say bayonetta is one of my fave games. but i didn't really beat it yet.

also, i want to pick up drawing again at some point, i did that in the past.

most of my posts will be either musing about my recovery and identity crafting (broad mh/ph disclaimer), random slice of life posts and shitposts to distract me and others who go through shit.

consider the tags a sort of list of interests and subjects discussed.

note i will vet followers before accepting follow requests. very heavily advised to not follow if under 18.

expect a post about boundaries soon.

Hello! I've been considering a separate Fedi account for my musical nonsense, so I reached out to @luka , they accepted my request, and here I am.
I'm Simon, and I make noises as Bedlam Steps. I've done music most of my life, but I'm always learning new stuff and one of my uses of this account will be to share what I do and how I do it. #introduction #electronica #ambient #music

Hello, I am Diesel. Also known as DIAMANTEFANGS.

I draw snarly animal people.

Hello, I am Diesel. Also known as DIAMANTEFANGS.

They/It/She ⛧ UK ⛧ 29 ⛧ ΘΔ

I draw snarly animal people.

Alright, #introduction time!

Hi all, I go by Julie (or Jules, on occasion) and I love #reading and #writing, mainly #SFF

As you can tell by my avatar, I am a #SuckerForStationery 🖋️

I am a cat person, but don't live with a cat at the moment. I also have small hands.

My day job is in tech, and I'm also interested in #digitalRights, #UnplugTrump, #Linux, #privacy etc.

I think #AI is bullshit and should not be used in general, and particularly not for art.

#LGBTQIA rights are human rights.

Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.

I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.

I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.

I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.

I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.

Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.

I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.

I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.

Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.

#introduction

Hi hi!

Time for a 'lil #introduction. My name is Silvio, I'm Italian but I live in the Netherlands. In the past I researched artistic "post-digital" publishing, I wrote about the entrepreneurial ideology in relation to precarity, and did a lot of other stuff such as graphic design, web development, installations, net art, zines, weird tools, videoclips… I'm starting to suspect that consistency is not among my core skills

Right now I'm mostly busy documenting and understanding a sense of disillusionment that seems to permeate the design field.

Currently, I'm an assistant professor in design theory and criticism at the Center for Other Worlds in Lisbon (https://otherworlds.pt/) and I'm part of varia.zone, a lovely space dedicated to everyday technology.

I toot mostly about #labour, #design, #linux and #videogames. Also, I enjoy posting "unacceptable" CW puns.

While writing about the past and the present of computer usership, I amassed a mastodontic year-long thread. That was fun :) https://post.lurk.org/web/statuses/105695998969010498

Long overdue new #Introduction (so that I can pin it on my profile!😅)

I'm a landscape & nature photographer in San Diego, California — an incredibly diverse place! I make most of my photos locally. I like grand scenics & nature's small scenes, and am also keen on finding and photographing our native plants.

I've been on Mastodon for over 2 years at this point, and am done with corporate-controlled, centralized social media. The future is federated! Cheers! :)

#Photography #SanDiego

This is our first foray into a decentralized social network, which will hopefully help us transition away from platforms controlled by the tech oligarchy.

Please help us connect with people in the Fediverse!

On fait aussi des « pouets » en #français.

Something broke in our Queer Fedi community when we learned a conference about our network was held by a transphobe.
I was not the first to discover it, but brought many receipts about it.
One thing leading to another, a US tech company building Fediverse stuff used the name of a deceased trans woman to disparge me and our community.

There is a need to educate people about the invisible transgender fedi community existing beyond US tech spaces. Open for more 🧵👇 (1/9)

So after looking around some more, it seems I should maybe make an introduction post. (I definitely overthought this damned thing… Oh well.)

Well, for starters, I was/am on Tumblr prior to coming here, but that site is not really going well at the moment. So for now I'm looking into other platforms to see if things are better elsewhere.

I'm a nonsexual sadist with an affinity for psychological and emotional control/torment. I write about some pretty graphic and disturbing topics, so minors and anyone particularly sensitive steer clear.
That said, anything I write is purely fantasy and should in no way be replicated. It's vent writing that some may find enjoyable to read as well; nothing more.

Of course, fucked up things aren't my only interests. I also enjoy people watching, chatting with others, and helping them, when the situation calls for it. Oh, and listening to music. I do that pretty often.

This blog will mostly be focused on violent urges, passing thoughts and observations I have, as well as whatever else I happen upon.

#introduction Hello all, Ive been on the fediverse on a number of accounts for about five years, finally it was time to make my own instance and decided on mastodon.

I mainly want to share photos I've taken over the years. I moved fully to #Linux about a year ago and its taken some time to settle and get to editing photos.

I am interested in #macro #aviation #streetphotography #pcbuild #birds #nature #bayarea #cert #sar #tech #Photo

any boost would be appreciated from my #selfhost instance

I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.

Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)

#introduction

I'm undead.

Bonjour à tous.tes,

Dessiner est pour moi un moyen d'exprimer mes émotions. C'est avant tout un voyage émotionnel pour me déconnecter de la réalité.
J’aime m’inspirer de la réalité pour créer des mondes imaginaires contemplatifs. Chaque trait de crayon devient une passerelle vers une dimension où l'imagination n'a pas de limites, et où les émotions trouvent une nouvelle forme de vie.

going to write a proper introduction post!

hello, my name is neo. i'm a transmasc in my 20's. generally speaking i like machines that move people, amusement rides, shooter games, and various sci fi and sci fi-adjacent media. i'm in between jobs right now, but my background spans aerospace engineering, acting, teaching, and operating amusement rides.

i occasionally draw and shoot 35mm film! (even less often, i write mediocre fanfiction.)

i'm on the fence about talking about my mental issues on new social media pages but you might find me mentioning them down the line.

i'll put my interests in the tags. (hopefully that's considered helpful here, like mastodon, and not spammy like it is on some sites.) happy to be here!

Hi!

I'm Eli (any pronouns), I've been making backup accounts in a few sites just in case Tumblr gets nuked and I came across the Fediverse, I still don't understand much of it or how it works so I hope I'm doing this right. This does look like the closest thing to Tumblr though, so I'll probably be slowly posting all my art from there here just to be safe. In the meantime I'm still more active there ( also @/cosmiclion), for all its faults that hellsite is still my home and the only way I'll fully switch to here is if it gets burned to the ground and I get kicked out and have the door slammed on my face.

I like to draw and occassionally take photos :D I also like to write sometimes but not as often, I don't know how writers do it but honestly mad respect.
Currently hyperfixating on Black Butler and Yuri!!! On Ice but will post original art and concepts and fanart of other things I'm into.
I'm a bigass furry but I draw all kinds of characters (the lion is my fursona btw!).
Also keep in mind that I'm an adult and I enjoy making NSFW art often.

Hey, I'm now on this Fedi Instance! I'll be posting my art shenanigans and whatnot! I moved here bc of the cozy tumblr vibes I got from it! I hope you guys enjoy my content! >w<

forgot to introduce myself so, hello, cunts :)
a bit about me: i don't have a corporeal form at the moment (looking for one), i don't have a soul either but that's neither here nor there really, trans man, anarchist, and i was once good friends with sixteenth century lexicographer Henry Cockeram (though regretfully we drifted apart after his death)

¡Hola, personitas bellas! ✨ Soy Nyx (Naiara), una trans cordobesa 🇦🇷 de 26 años, ¡revolucionaria! ✊ Anarquista, amo la libertad y apoyo a la comunidad LGBTIQ+.

Desarrollo apps para @gnome, ¡software libre para todxs! Y estoy trabajando en «Replay», una app para que no te pierdas nada de tus creadores favoritos.

En mi tiempo libre, me encanta perderme en mundos de videojuegos (Zelda, Pokémon, Spider-Man, y más) y sumergirme en la magia del anime (One Piece, Solo Leveling, y otros). Amo My Little Pony, Raridash es mi OTP, ¿ok?

Estoy en un viaje de autodescubrimiento y crecimiento personal. A veces me siento sola, pero siempre encuentro fuerza en mis adorables parejas, @xerz y @echedellelr.

Si te copa la revolución, el amor libre y la buena onda, ¡seguime!

Hi there! An #introduction post incoming!

I am Lana, a freelance artist. While I am known for my Art Nouveau-inspired artworks, I prefer to showcase a different side of me here.

In March I started drawing a comic. It was my lifelong dream that I always put on the shelf because I believed I was not good enough. But the friend's support and TTRPG sessions inspired me, so here I am!

I hope to find new friends and build a tiny new community here. Nice to meet you all!

New #introduction post!

I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.

My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.

I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)

When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.

I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.

I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.

Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!

Hey, I'm aly, a neurospicy trans chaosqueer.

I like thinking about hard and soft #tech, I have silly sometimes creative ideas and #cooking is my zen. I also occasionally make some bleeps and bloops. Oh and I'm terminally online and apropriately memebrained at times.

Want to be my enemy? How about being mutuals or just chatting a little? Or would you like to beep or meow at me?

Hello! Thought I should introduce myself (and a thanks to the Mods and Administrator for accepting me).

I'm not new to the Fediverse. Came here first from Twitter after the M*sk buyout, didn't keep up - work was too much. Fast forward with the current upheaval, I'm back w/ job loss and now self-employed, trying to keep a roof over my head and myself and my cat fed. I do vuln research and RE.

Cyberpunk - its world, its lore is an escape, so I'm really glad to have found this instance. Other ttrpgs I've played: V:tM (V20, 3rd Ed.)

Good evening Mastodon!

I'm Jeremy, a game developer based in Lyon. I mainly work with #UnrealEngine (at work) and #Godot (for personal projects).

As a player, I’m more of a solo gamer. Competition doesn't interest me, I consume games like films. What I’m looking for is a story that pulls me in and immerses me in a world.

Recently, I launched my blog Turbo Tartine Games (🇫🇷 only for now), where I share technical (and not-so-technical) content about #gamedev.
=> j-ponzo.github.io

#Introduction

Hi! I'm Echo, a trans lesbian weirdo who works as a web engineer. This is my second time on Mastodon, and I'm really interested in seeing if this sticks. I'm really interested in #larp, #anarchism, #tumblr, and #queerhistory. #introduction

Bonsoir Mastodon !

Je suis Jeremy, développeur de jeux vidéo à Lyon. Je travaille principalement sur #UnrealEngine (pro) et #Godot (perso).

Manette en main, je suis plutôt un joueur solo. La compétition ne m’intéresse pas, je consomme le jeu comme un film. J’attends qu’il me raconte une histoire et m’immerge dans un monde avant tout.

#introduction time!!!

you can call me asnev 👋 i've been around the fediverse for a while but i recently moved to tech [dot] lgbt to scratch an itch of trying out a glitch-soc instance. let's be friends :]

currently struggling through college ✨ proudly #aro and #ace (i can conjure up garlic bread at will). my interests are... unending... but i'm occupied with #sonicthehedgehog and #jungle music at the moment. i'm a #chiptune nerd, i'll probably post some right after i'm finished with this text blurb

talk to me about a lot of things really... i'm a chill person/guy/girl most of the time

life is about being a bit weird, or a lot of weird. preferably the latter. you do that, while also showing kindness for others

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance

I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

#Introduction

Loving reading all these #introduction s so here's mine.

I am an immigrant to the NL by way of AR, US & UK. I am a mom to a lovely 7-year-old boy, a wife to a loving Argentine man, and fill my time taking photographs for pleasure (now) & making websites for money. I speak English, Spanish, French, and am learning Dutch.

I care about politics, LGBTQ+ rights, and being a decent human being on this big blue rock. Looking forward to making good connections. This place feels like home.

Hi all, been lurking for a few days but introducing myself now! I'm Matt and a #security reporter at WIRED. Like many others here, I'm coming to Mastodon after the chaos at the bird site in the last week.

The things I cover on a regular basis are #privacy, cybersecurity, #surveillance, internet freedom, #tech and human rights, and a bunch more things in the wider security realm.

I'm based in #London—and have lived here for the last decade—so I'm often reporting on issues from across Europe. When not writing words for the web, I'm often found #running and have been dabbling in the #ultramarathon a few times over the last few years #introduction (edited to add introduction hashtag)

#Introduction

I'm excited to share a bit more about myself. I'm Lily, though some people know me as Liliana. I wear many creative hats—I’m an artist, a blogger, and a singer. I find that art and music are the languages I use to express my inner world, and I’m constantly inspired by the soft, comforting glow of light pink. It’s a color that feels just right to me.

I also love diving into the world of games. Among Us, with its intriguing murder mystery vibe, is my favorite. And when I'm not playing games, I'm probably watching anime, which never fails to ignite my imagination.

My journey in online communities has been equally enriching. I moderate here as well as on a Discord server for Nicholas’s friends, where I've met some truly amazing and kind people. Beyond that, I run two Discord servers of my own, which have taught me a lot about building and nurturing online spaces. I take pride in keeping these communities free from spam and disruptive noise—it’s all about creating a positive, welcoming environment.

A little about my background: I was born in Tripoli, Lebanon—a vibrant city in the Middle East—and my roots there continue to shape who I am. I speak two languages, which helps me connect with people from various cultures. And while I love engaging with people, please don’t call me “nupkin”—that’s a definite no-go!

Today, I’m living in Canada, a place that has embraced me warmly. I’m continuously evolving, both personally and professionally, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me next.

Hi, I’m Robert! But you can call me the Fediverse Twink :D

I’m a proud cis gay male twink from planet Earth (GenY y/o)

I’m currently writing Romance books and short stories, with a touch of hand hugging, and sometimes erotica, featuring non twinks, and I'm begging offline people to bake me all the cookies, especially my international friends because America does weird things to our cookies. I dropped out of college, did a bunch of journalism internships anyway that saved me a truckload of money on gaining journalism experience, but then I decided that writing two boys kissing and having giant hand obsessions and palm kinks was more fun! I also blog about a lot of stuff, from my thoughts about keeping Pokémon as pets, to what I think about hunkish gay hackers in my town.

My website is in transition but you can add my RSS feed because, frankly, not enough people are sharing their cookies with me to give me writing fuel, so I need you to share my website and articles instead for a while so I can amass a legion of fans and then sick my mob of fans on you if you accuse my writing of avoiding the woke anti-capitalist agenda.

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!
