#introduction 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.

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.

#introduction Hi my names Mike, I used to have my own Mastodon instance but decided to sunset it in favor of social.lol.

I'm a DevOps engineer working with K8s at scale here in the UK. I've been remote working for over a decade now and wouldn't have it any other way. I mostly toot about tech, my homelab and sometimes health related stuff.

I suffer from ME/CFS for most of my life, I get by, good days and bad.

I have two amazing cats call Shadow and Lilly, I'll be posting some pictures here every so often, they're super cute.

I blog semi frequently at mikebell.io, also auto posted here (must remember to re-set that up!) and have a RSS feed if you fancy.

Feel free to say hi!

#introduction
My name is Larissa, but my friends call me Lari 🫶
I’m born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (carioca da gema) ☀️
I’m an electronics and software engineer building free and open source software at Tekoporã 💚
I can not live without the sun, the sand and the ocean, I never say no to a beach day 🌊
I love exploring the arts (making ceramics, painting, playing the piano…) and embracing the joy of not being the best at any of them. ✨

Hi, I'm Pebbles, your fellow netizen! 🐾

I'm a millennial-aged bisexual enby, furry, and fox therian. I make a living writing code, and I've recently become a parent--man, newborns are rough! 🤯

Things I appreciate the most are genuine creativity, curiosity, and adaptability. I believe if people at large were encouraged to cultivate those, we'd be living in the future sci-fi writers promised us decades ago.

PLEASE BOOST!

Hi! It's me, Ace! I accidentally deleted my other account(thank you disability and brain fog😓).

I'm trying to start over, and looking for my old followers and new so I can follow you back and I can get back to posting lewds, nudes, and all the kinky stuff, memes and musings from before. Please help me to find you all again by boosting!

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.

#introduction, bitch. I'm Logan (himbo/thembo) your new favorite Haskell homosexual. Fresh handle, same menace: I torched the old account and rose from the git history like a phoenix in a clean `-Wall -Werror` build.

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.

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 🌸

Hey everyone!

Mo here, onward and upwards as is always the hope and desire.

I'm a fairly atypical Granny living in #Scotland, with an #Iceland photography obsession. I used to do games graphics many moons ago. I love weather photography, long slow walks getting slower due to stuff, my wonderful sons and my lovely patient partner.

Here's a drop-dead gorgeous shot to start this. Lómagnúpur in southern #Iceland.

Hello Mastodon! 👋

I’m Justin, a digital creator and football analyst. This is my own personal social media space to branch out entirely beyond the pitch. Expect a mix of thoughts, interesting finds, creative projects, and the occasional rant about the daily grind — all from the perspective of a straight edge punk.

I'd love to chat with absolutely anyone, so don't be shy to drop a hello or hit follow. Excited to meet people from all walks of life here! 🚀

Let me introduce myself: I'm Mohsen. I have a PhD in AI from TU Delft and I teach ML. These days I build autonomous drones and the AI that runs them, mostly for greenhouses and indoor farms.

I've mostly stayed off social media, but the Fediverse feels different: no algorithm deciding what you see, no company optimising for your outrage. So I'm giving Mastodon a try.

I'll post about AI, robotics and growing food under glass. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Dutch. 😋 🐞

#introduction

Has anyone already developed something like a '15 day plan' to try the Fediverse, specifically targeted at helping communities/interest groups give it a go via a series of quick and easy steps?

I'm thinking something like this to help facilitate the beginnings of a migration:

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.

Day 5: Browse your live feed (own server).

Day 6: Like a post.

Day 7: Boost a post.

Day 8: Reply to a post.

Day 9: Write an #Introduction post.

Etc etc.

Let me introduce myself: I’m Naor, a Dutch guy with a masters degree in experimental physics. I’m passionate about tackling the climate crisis, which is how I’ve ended up in the world of energy transition policy.

I have never really been into social media, mostly because of the companies that run the platforms. But after reading @pluralistic’s book Enshittification I figured I’d give Mastodon a try.

Will be posting in both Dutch and English, depending on the topic.

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. #introduction @_elena

• Introduction -

this is bemani-cats, a profile dedicated to tuff and aura videos of cats.
except that now the audio is just music from various bemani (et al.) games - think beatmania or something.

there's nothing else to it. videos will not be credited as they come from a huge video folder full of random shit with no creator or linkback attached. however, songs will be named in each post and i hope that this can also help you discover some banger music :3

let's DJ~

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! #introduction

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

Hallo Mastodon! Greenpeace Österreich ist am Wochende 43 Jahre alt geworden. Da haben wir uns gedacht, wir probieren mal was Neues und sind jetzt auch hier. 👋

Für die Rettung der Mastodons sind wir zwar ein paar Jahrtausende zu spät dran.

Aber wir arbeiten mit vollem Einsatz für alle Lebewesen, die jetzt und in Zukunft die Erde bevölkern. 🦣

#NeuHier #Introduction #Greenpeace

Spookstad is a publishing collective from Amsterdam that emerged from the squatting movement. We make books (+ other things, sometimes) and organise events with the goal of bringing the message, aims and practical knowledge of direct emancipatory action to a wider audience.

Currently, we're working on a book about #permacomputing with @320x200 and @pixouls — more about that soon! Our newest publication, Whoring Art, is about #art and #sexwork in the city and is out 22 May. You can find free PDFs and order physical copies of our publications on our website: https://spookstad.boo.

Dad x2 (teen and a toddler 😳) Happy and devoted husband to @jillianmarisa. Liberal. Enthusiastic Missouri Master Naturalist and somehow President of the KC chapter. 🤷‍♂️

Tootin' since 2022. Mastodon made me a Linux-using, #fedifirst, FOSS evangelist.

I dig: Conservation + naturalist topics, photography (mostly birds these days) postcards 'n travel. Leader @ a Conglom-O Corp thankfully doing tech that isn't evil.

Washed up travel influencer. I still help run @AirlineReporter & host a Mastodon community of travel/airplane geeks @ AvGeek.Social.

Growing a family, chickens and multiple gardens while renovating my childhood home: Grandpa's 1960 house here in beautiful Lee’s Summit, MO, US (KC-metro)

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 https://blog.disobey.net/yawnbox/working-towards-an-organizational-model-for-defending-a-fediverse-community)

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!

#introduction well, hi fediverse!

I'm Eren, a 23 y/o software enthusiast and bass music enjoyer/producer.

I make experimental electronic music around dubstep, drum and bass, colour bass, ambient... and using Ableton Live for many years now.

I love linux, web technologies (nodejs, bun), java (oop, jvm bytecode)

I also play Osu! time to time, and my favorite snack is Kinder Bueno White 😋

I had an #introduction post on my previous account, but I've deleted my presence on that instance, and I doubt any of my 5 followers from 2021 will notice!

Hi, I'm Nic, and I live here now.
What else do I put here?
I'm 40, my favourite dinosaur is archaeopteryx (yes I know it's not really a dinosaur SHUT UP), I am an enthusiastic dungarees wearer, and my best time with a standard rubiks cube is 1:21

My gender is still being decided by the council: she is fine, they is fine, he is gross

New Instance #Introduction: I’m a #Linguistics professor in #Texas. Originally from #Chicago. Lived in Birmingham, UK & Hefei (Anhui province) #China. I do research in English lexical semantics, #pragmatics, health communication, and discourse markers, using corpus methods. Currently learning #Arabic on #DuoLingo. I edit #Wikipedia. I love contemporary fiction, science fiction, and #poetry. And #travel—as the budget allows. Welcoming any survivors from my academic Twitter network. Great meeting you all!

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.

Hello! I'm new to this instance, so a little about me: I'm 46 year old trans man(he/they). I'm plural, polyam, and bisexual. 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: https://kinkycats.org/@trulytransgressive

@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

Here’s a long-overdue #introduction post! I’m Adam, and I’ve been building things on the web for about as long as there’s been a web. I run Neatnik LLC, omg.lol, and some other stuff. I have three goals for everything that I create: make it fun, make it inclusive, and keep the jerks away. I was born and raised in upstate New York, but Louisville, Kentucky has been home for over 30 years now. I love playing Famicom games and I collect Pokémon cards. I use PHP. I don’t use AI. Let’s be friends!

Hi there! Here’s an #introduction for this new instance.

I’m a soon-to-be 40-year-old #nonbinary #LGBTQIA person from southeastern #finland

I toot in English and Finnish, depending on the subject and what’s on my mind.

I maintain a #pinball #arcade with my partner @apzpins which we’ve been running for soon 15 years. The arcade is also on fedi, but we post in Finnish only, @hopeakuula , in case you’re interested.

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

My interests include #videogames , I especially enjoy adventure games and RPGs, #animals , #Cats , #Travel , #scifi , #horror , and #crafts , I especially enjoy #knitting , #crochet and #crossstitching

I am a #chef by profession, so #food and #coffee are huge things for me. I sometimes toot about food stuff, and gladly talk about food, food cultures and share experiences.

#cycling is also fun, I mainly do this during the snowless time of the year. My home town has pretty good bike routes and I sometimes toot photos of those.

I’m #autistic , which surely comes off as hyper fixactions and in an unusual way of experiencing, seeing and handling the world and its goings-on.

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!

Oh hi.

Lou Fontaine, 86, I’m from Poland. I’m amateur cartoonist and comic maker. I like to draw anthro stuff but I’m not a furry.

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.

#introduction #introdukcja #hello

New #mastodon instance, new #introduction.

I mostly post about tech, graphic design, iOS app development, and billiards. I'm relocating from the Kansas City metro this summer back to Manhattan, Kansas where I plan to open a downtown pool hall, bar, grill, and basement speakeasy. #emaw https://vincentspoolhall.com

Hello! I am a product/project manager in software development. I'm interested in FOSS, science fiction, playing piano, making music on FL Studio, and hiking. También aprendiendo español. I set up this server to learn more about self-hosting and the fediverse. I want to learn more about mesh. I'm also learning about web development.

#introduction #selfhosting #productmanagement #projectmanagement #scifi #hiking #music #español #mesh #webdevelopment

Hi, I'm brand new to Mastodon so figuring out the lay of the land 😄. My name is Veros(she/her) and I'm 36. I'm a book blogger. I mostly read Fantasy but Sci-Fi, Romance, Hist Fic, Horror, and Mystery are in the mix. I'm a big fan of supporting indie authors.

I'm also into gaming (board games & video games), crafting, and metal music.
I want to immerse myself in art and human connection and avoid AI forever.

My dog and best friend, Cheeto, will also make appearances 😉 #Introduction

As it turns out, things change over four years. Here's a re-re #introduction

Suppose I should give another #introduction

- I'm a technical writer by day
- I work at vCluster, a #kubernetes solution
- I like reading fantasy and sci-fi
- I'm a dad to three
- I'm owned by two cats (a tabby and a tuxedo); they were pandemic kittens
- I work from home, and like it that way
- I'm a Next Gen Trekkie
- I watch LOTR extended editions at least yearly
- I'm in the mountains of north central Penn, USA

Cześć! Moje krótkie bio znajdziecie na profilu. Dołączam do społeczności zainspirowany obecną lekturą #enshittification .

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Verona (Italy), working on plant nutrition, plant physiology and plant-soil interactions. 🌱

Right now I'm digging into non-destructive root phenotyping for hydroponically grown plants — would love to meet people working on root imaging, rhizotrons, image analysis (Fiji, SmartRoot...).

Also Section Editor for *Plant and Soil*, in case that's useful to know 😄

Glad to be here, looking forward to chatting! 👋

This is my first post on Disabled-social. I'm Hiro from Japan. I came here because I'd like to meet people and know more about global ideas for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, the Japanese government doesn't fully accept the Human Rights Act, and that creates so many problems and ignorance for people having difficulties.

👋 Salut, je suis Serge, je suis 🇨🇭 et voici mon #introduction. Actuellement, je partage mon temps entre l'Italie et la Suisse (oui, c'est un peu compliqué...) et je peux communiquer (et parfois réfléchir) en 🇮🇹, 🇫🇷, 🇬🇧 & 🇩🇪.

Je suis un journaliste scientifique et technique et un rédacteur courtois. J'ai été un biologiste, et avant encore un gardien de zoo, et j'en ai gardé à ce jour un intérêt marqué pour les sciences naturelles.

Enchanté de vous rencontrer! 🙂

#introduction #disabledjustice #intersectionality

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.

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

It's once again time for a new #introduction

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

I'm in Kitchener-Waterloo, and I'm a linux-flavoured computer toucher.

I share stuff about the region, Open source software in general and #linux in specific.

I like to tinker in my #homelab, where I run #proxmox, #ceph, and a bunch of other #selfhosted services including #homeassistant.

I'm a rather inconsistent poster, and a prolific booster, but I'm glad to be here.

Hello Fediverse! 👋 I've just launched my own instance, running on a 10-year-old laptop right here in Europe.

This little machine is now my home for: Photography, Travel, Camping adventures, Food & Cooking, Self-hosting & Tech, Movies, Physical Media (DVDs, Blu-ray, CDs), and i own a Game Boy Color!

Excited to connect with fellow travelers, tech geeks, film lovers, and retro collectors. Say hi!

Old #introduction, 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.

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 https://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. https://tegamino.pizza/

Hi! 👋

I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography. Music‑wise I bend towards #EDM, while photography stretches from drone/aerial shots to architecture and everyday stills.

A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, and owning your own space online, powered by #FOSS and #Linux.

I self-host my own corner of the internet via YunoHost.
It's part of my commitment to decentralization and taking control of my digital footprint.

When I'm not crafting electronic noise or framing pixels, I'm reading terms and conditions of whatever just to feel something. 😁

Also, I get paid to talk. Not paid a lot, mind you—I just talk a lot.

Feel free to connect! ✨

#Introduction

#introduction music and joke maker. Very average at both but looking to improve.

I love my bass and I love my cat. Don't mess with either.

Hoping to become part of the Fedi-community as I am disillusioned with the reality of corporate media and big tech.

I suppose I should write an #introduction and pin it. Here goes:

I’m David, I’m 41, and I like #rats

I’m also an #it and #photography graduate. I live in the UK, but don’t like it here very much.

I’m a keen gamer, environmentalist, open source advocate and firmly believe in rights for disabled people. I’m autistic, gay, and believe all people should try to get along.

Former archery enthusiast, former editor of my school newspaper and small local town newspaper. Can’t play an instrument.

I’m liking the vibe here so far, but i’m still confused about the whole server/“ instance “thing ?? 😭 how do people find chill or more active servers ? I literally never been so confused lol 😂 hopefully someone sees this ..

Hi I'm a closeted NB. I spend my time reading nerdy stuff on the internet, sleeping, chugging cherry coke cans and cyberpunking.

My passions are hoarding and not leaving my house.

What about you ?

#introduction

hi, a short #introduction: I make art (primarily textiles and linocut) and I joined this instance because I wanted to see other people's art, discuss it, and also share mine on the occasion that I finish something or get to a good place in a WIP to take a picture!

would love to follow you if you work in similar mediums (or otherwise, tbh.)

Hi! 👋

I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography. Music‑wise I bend towards #EDM, while photography stretches from drone/aerial shots to architecture and everyday stills.

A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, and owning your own space online, powered by #FOSS and #Linux.

I self-host my own corner of the internet using GoToSocial.
It's part of my commitment to decentralization and taking control of my digital footprint.

#Introduction 📣 V3

Greetings, I’m Mr.B! I’m a #photographer & #filmmaker from #canada.

I'm also diving into #blender & #godot to craft my own #videogame as an #indiedev.

When not behind the lens or #gaming, you’ll find me #cooking up a storm, cuddling with #cats, or sipping a mojito. #introduction

Okay, I think I underestimated Mastodon.

I joined a few hours ago, posted a little #introduction, 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. 😄

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!

hi everyone!! i'm ivy

this is my re- #introduction

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 #introduction, right?

Hi there! I'm Vito! 30-something self-taught computer #engineer ✨
I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil, with plans to move to Italy some time in the future. Maybe.

I have a reeeally deep interest in #parsers, #interpreters & #compilers, 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 #retrocomputing.

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

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 🐱 💤 🩶

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

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

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

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 ;)

#Introduction #CortexImplant

A quick #introduction using an obscene number of hashtags to hopefully reach people I want to be in community with! I make #art and #software and particularly like #linocuts and #embroidery and I also enjoy #visiblemending.

On the tech side my pet topics are currently #datavis (currently looking at #publictransport in my area) and #rdf #ontologies (what can we practically and ethically do with them?)

Would love to follow you if you're interested in any of these things.

Hi, I'm Christin. (aka Criz or Chrislo)

#trans #activist, #politician, #feminist, #blogger, #author, #tutor, #teacher, #sexworker and a proud, post-op trans* #woman living near the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), Germany.

Three things you'll see me do here a lot: yell about antifascism (always), boost #queer and trans voices (also always), and talk shop about #linux, 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 #Fairphone, 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 #Mastodon instance for #queer and #LGBTQ folks and their allies. A space to exist loudly, safely, and without apology.

I also build #FediSuite, an open-source (GPL-3.0) management platform for the entire Fediverse. Multi-account, smart composer, scheduling, thread-splitting, analytics, accessibility, plugin system. Supports #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Vernissage, #Misskey, #PeerTube and more.
fedisuite.com · app.fedisuite.com · liberapay.com/fedisuite

When I step away from the keyboard, I'm in my self-sufficiency garden (beans, kohlrabi, potatoes, strawberries, fruit trees), tinkering with #HomeAssistant and #ESPHome, or trying to shrink my CO₂ footprint one decision at a time.

More about me, including TV documentaries:

This is all me. All of it.

Time for an #introduction. 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?

• Just released Gnome Commander 2.0 is our first Rust-based release. This is still work in progress, code quality improvements and removal of last C++ holdouts planned for 2.2.
⬇️

#introduction

Hi! I joined Mastodon a long time ago but finally got fed up with mainstream social media this winter, so I'm probably going to be hanging around here a lot more. Read the alt text for details.

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

#MastoArt #doodle #dailydrawing

Hello! #introduction post!
I'm sans serif girl, a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace #biromantic #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I consider myself a really boring person 'cause all my interests are things I can do on my own like #reading #books but also #manga #manhwa and #manhua, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, taking #pictures.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for #walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an #AltText on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys

I think that's all for now, and thanks for having me here!

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. 🌈

#introduction #intro

Hello, I'm @daniel and here's my #introduction from my new #selfhosted 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 #socialmedia is gone, but not so the need to share & connect.

P.S. Se habla español.

Moving to a new instance is a sly excuse to write an #introduction post (I never did one before).

I'm Drew, pleased to meet you. I'm male, middle aged, child-free, a Brit but don't feel like one, living in 🇵🇭 for the last few years. I'm #neurodivergent with quite severe #CPTSD. You can ask me about it, I'm trying to get better at discussing it. I'm married, I work in #tech and I love animals and nature.

I post about (takes deep breath): #DogsOfMastodon #WebDev #Linux #Fedora #RaspberryPi #Apple #NoAI #FuckAI #BanAI #Enshittification #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #ChildhoodTrauma #MentalHealth #Stroke #PTSD #ModelRailway #NGauge #Philippines #SilentSunday #Bookstodon #Music

Edit: Almost forgot! I have a single-page personal profile website at https://drewtowler.me which expands on all this.

Edit: Other things I like but probably won't post about: #OldMaps #AnimeArt #StudioGhibli

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 #art and #music, 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.

#introduction

Time for a real #introduction, first post was a drill.

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

One of my greatest interests is music too, #pinkfloyd 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

My #introduction after 3 years on this instance!

I am Shamil. I prefer he/him pronouns, but anything works! You may have seen me around the internet as noteness. I used to be an IRC warrior, and interested in all federated systems. Naturally I ended up on Mastodon also!

I am an aspiring PL/Systems researcher at IIIT Hyderabad, and I love tinkering with cyber systems. Compared to the rest of the people here, I would say I am kind of an amateur sysadmin. I have worked on IIIT Hyderabad infrastructure as a sysadmin for about 3 years now.

I am from #Kerala, a proud member of @ntns @ IIIT Hyderabad, and a commie! o/

[ New introduction ]

Hi my name is Lina or Luna, I am an independent blogger. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 . I am 19 years old girl. I am asexual person and I also have ADHD and autism

I have a cat called Mame-chan and I love Animations, Anime and vocaloid

I used to be part of @TheFesties but not anymore

#fediverse #community #introduction

I swear this thing didn’t give me the option to choose my server? I guess I can fix that later?

Anyways for my #introduction…

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 💋

Okay, I think I underestimated Mastodon.

I joined a few hours ago, posted a little #introduction, 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. 😄

Hi @SocialCoop, thanks for accepting my application. #introduction: I'm really happy to be joining and taking my first step into the cooperative movement. I'm interested in #noncapitalist ways of living, working and relating to others, including coops, #UBI, the #solarpunk philosphy, #abundance and public #commons, including #opensource projects and #openscience. I'm also intersted in #neurocosmopolitanism and #nonviolence.

I work with data and love to code. At the moment I'm often riding the #trams around Manchester, #swimming in my local pool or climbing at my local #bouldering center.

Hello internet 👋

#introduction time again.

I'm a no longer practicing Backend Developer. Fell into burnout hard, discovered I was #ActuallyAutistic. Now I'm doing not tech things to pay the bills while watching AI destroy the things I once loved.

I write sapphic smut, with a side of gender and messy queerness in my free time.

I’m a #trans #mom #ttrpg nerd #symphonicmetal fan and instant #ramen connoisseur. I live in the middle of nowhere with my wife, her family, and a small herd of cats and dogs.

Hello everyone,
I am an indie author and I am working on a yaoi boyslove manga called "by next morning men will have descended into madness again".
It's an adult story with lot of angst, I am inspired by Hagio Moto and kaze to ki no uta.
You can read it on nonobi.fr
My main goal is to share my manga, and make the reader happy to disconnect for a moment. That's all!

Hi everyone. Since I'm new here let me do a proper #introduction:
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

#introduction

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" - - 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 - #DungeonCrawlerCarl, #TTRPGs, using #archLinux via #CachyOS, #ffxiv, 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.

Hello all! Obligatory #introduction 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).

#Introduction

Hello squirrels,

I am almost as famous as that other Geri, but unlike her, I have a neurodegenerative disease called #Dystonia, but it is only others who see me as disabled. I am also a big-bottomed, anarchist, green type and a connoisseur of fine wine, although I will quaff any old rubbish.

I am a poor speller and swear more than a decent person ought to.

I love people who love other people and hate those who do not.

I mean no harm.

Hi #Fediverse. I'm Akshay. A graphic designer of 15 years. Late-diagnosed autistic and bipolar.

I quit social media a couple years ago, and have been toying with the idea of joining #Mastodon for even longer.

I recently even deleted my LinkedIn and Behance. I've been lurking on here for 10 days, and it looks like a really nice group of people.

Heavy metal, minimalism, gaming!

Hoping to make some friendships and immerse in what masto stands for. Wish me luck!

Time for another re-introduction.

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
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.

Spookstad is a publishing collective from Amsterdam that emerged from the squatting movement. We make books (+ other things, sometimes) and organise events with the goal of bringing the message, aims and practical knowledge of direct emancipatory action to a wider audience.

Currently, we're working on a book about #permacomputing with @320x200 and @pixouls — more about that soon! Our newest publication, Whoring Art, is about #art and #sexwork in the city and is out 22 May. You can find free PDFs and order physical copies of our publications on our website: https://spookstad.boo.

#introduction #publishing #squatting

Hi all, I've just moved to social.lol from a self-hosted instance, so it's time
for an updated #introduction

One of my big passions is writing: I have a personal website @
https://kedara.eu where I #blog, tend a #DigitalGarden and web weave a #wiki ,
and try to contribute to the #Indieweb #smallweb communities.

I'm very much into #yoga and #meditation and everything related to that. I'm
trying to learn #Sanskrit because its a beautiful language and also in order to
be able to read text like the #BhagavadGita #Upanishads #YogaSutras
#BhagavataPurana which greatly inspire me.

I'm from the #Netherlands and work in #science in the field of outdoor
#AirQuality I may occasionally share something about that, but this is not a
work account (and any opinions are my own).

I love #photography and am slowly getting back into #AnalogPhotography again,
mostly related to #nature #weather #clouds #trees and other beautiful moments,
people and things. I love the #forest, I'm grateful to live at the edge of the
beautiful #Veluwe nature area.

Unfortunately I'm operating at half power thanks to #LongCovid since Feb. '22,
so some of my hobbies are in "partial maintenance mode".

Let me know if you have similar interests and I'll be happy to chat!

🖖

Hi, ich bin eigentlich seit Tag 3 von https://ac.social in 2022 hier und male aktuell Crazy Walls über die Föderation und bringe domestizierten Steinen bei Matrix und Collaboard zu sprechen.

#introduction #newhere

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.

G'day, I’m Dave! 👋

Welcome to my little corner of the Fediverse.

My profile gives a decent glimpse of who I am, but the full story lives on my blog

I often share from my micro.blog account: @writing

And I hang out on Loops too: @Lucha

Most of my social media is private but I do tend to follow interesting folk back.

I’m generally friendly… though I can get a bit snarky, especially about football, religion and politics 😂

Hello! I'm eloly, a crafter and musician.

I like to design amigurumi or sometimes amigurumi-adjacent crochet sculptures. I'm inexperienced but enthusiastic about sewing and quilting; comfortable with knitting and crochet; and a shameless dabbler in rigid heddle weaving and a billion other things.
I play recorders and double bass.
I'm a huge fan of C.J. Cherryh, Lois McMaster Bujold, Tamsyn Muir.

I haven't had much to do with social media platforms before, but I like the idea of the Fediverse. I'm excited to share some of my projects and see what other people are making.

Hi, I am Stu Hughes. I am 25 years old, #blind, #neurodivergent, and live in the Northeast of England. I am a live DJ for World of Fun Radio (@wfr) and my shows include 2000s at Two and Hughes in the House. My personal brand is Seediffusion, a combination of Seedy, my old online handle, and Rediffusion, a historical television relay service in the UK.
Note: Stu Hughes is not my given name, it is a name I've chosen for myself as a replacement for my unwanted first and last name, which I never gave out online.
I love to play video games, especially retro games from the 90s and 2000s; my favourite genre is fighting games, especially #StreetFighter! I basically love anything from the 2000s; it's my favourite decade.
I like many different types of music, including heavy metal, EDM, Hip-hop, eurobeat and house.
I am an all round nerd who loves technology, maths, science, and virtually all other things that geeks and dweebs love.
My signature catch phrase is sweet puberty!

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.

Hi fedi folk - It’s lovely to be here! I just moved from mastodon.social to sunny.garden and think it’s time for an #introduction.

I’m Bearina, 30-something from Mannheim, Germany. I make #zines, #ArtistTradingCards and have become a #printmaker recently. I also got back into #photography a few days ago which was my first hobby. I got my first point and shoot camera when I was 12 and fell in love with it before that, using my parents camera and strolling through the neighborhood. I like seeing creativity around me and love to get inspired by other artists.

#SciFi is my jam and I love movies in general. And bears! Lovely creatures.

#DeGoogling right now! Also I’m working on relaunching my website and make it more #IndieWeb friendly and #accessible but also give it a bit more personality. I want to start a blog and share my thoughts. Which reminds me: Words are hard! I try my best but not always succeed.

I’m so excited to meet new people! I toot in German and English.

✊ 9-to-5: Union activist. Because good working conditions and solidarity shouldn’t be a glitch in the Matrix!
I’m here to chat about real tech topics, nerd talk, open source, and everyday family chaos. If you’d rather solder, code, or play Super Mario than feed algorithms: Say hi! ☕️👇

Hello, I'm @daniel and here's my #introduction from my new #selfhosted 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 #socialmedia is gone, but not so the need to share & connect.

P.S. Se habla español.

Left twitter ages ago, annoyed with bsky at the moment, heard about this so trying it out.

Mini #introduction : I'm 20, ND, my hobbies float around but I'm into #writing , #junkjournaling , and #gardening the most right now

I also like #animalcrossing , #thesims , #thepitt , #twinpeaks , and random cartoons in terms of media. It varies.

I like engaging with other people too!

"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.

#introduction

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 #bruxelles to #helsinki 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 ⁨#introduction⁩

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

I'm on social media to be social. Let's chat. I'm Black (shoutout to ⁨#BlackMastodon⁩ ⁨#blackFedi⁩ ⁨#BlackTwitter⁩), 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 ⁨#demontime⁩.

I write short stories and serialized novels that mostly include Fighting, witty banter, and love, sex, or romance. Currently that means #BeatPreyLove, 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 (⁨#FGC⁩), Tactics or Soulslike RPGs, and Shooters on ⁨#PC⁩ but I'll try just about anything. I build and sell ⁨#DesktopPCs⁩ and will always offer help or advice if you want it. Currently playing #StreetFighter6 and #TacticsOgre as of this post. If you play Fighting games, let's play some casual sets.

I'm def the chattiest Mechanical ⁨#Engineer⁩ you know, especially about #gaming⁩ ⁨#anime⁩ ⁨#comics⁩ ⁨#NBA⁩ ⁨#NFL⁩ ⁨#MMA⁩ ⁨#UFC⁩ ⁨#HipHop⁩, ⁨#Rap⁩ or ⁨#Boxing⁩ ⁨#AEW⁩ ⁨#ProWrestling⁩

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:

#Introduction #Music #Books #Jazz #Swimming #Health #Diet #Metabolism #Science #Allotment #Yardening #FiftyPlus #MentalHealth #Neurodivergent #Fediverse #Linux #HomeBird #HomeBody #PotteringAbout #Cornwall #Kernow

@yezanek did you already know you can follow hastags on Mastodon? For instance I follow #introduction #rust and #guitar

#introduction. I am Italian, living in Berlin, I’m a Cloud PO for a German consulting firm. I like to play guitar and study Rust in little my spare time, and watch racing (F1, WEC).

I speak #Italian, #English, and basic #Hebrew.
