#introduction

Hi everyone!
I'm Aline. I'm a black Brazilian woman and I'm 27yo.

I like to talk, to stay quiet, to drink, to cook and solve puzzles!

I'm here to know new people around the world and explore the Fediverse.

#Introduction post as we’ve now moved to a better instance!

I am not a taboo is a new initiative, mainly focused on #LGBTQIA+ #ELT professionals and their allies, but LGBTQIA+ representation is important in any aspect of #education.

The website has a #Resources page with classroom materials, reference books and journal articles. There’s also a #blog with a small number of real-life stories - all of this is a work in progress.

It’s run by one person and is still very small and new!

#Introduction

50+ Digital - where the least connected #OlderPeople get the most attention.

Think of us as a loosely-knit real-world social network with a grassroots physical base. It’s a place where everyone is valued for who they are, and who they have been. It’s all free, and we never ask for ID.

Every week: 7 hours digital drop-in and learning, with volunteer support.

#Introduction

Hi friends! The Langley Union is a new publication from Langley, BC that is hoping to fill a bit of a void in local news coverage (aka hyperlocal to Langley).

The effort is 100% bootstrapped off the side of my desk at this point, as I have a full-time job and a partner/toddler combo at home to care for, but as somebody who cares deeply about community, politics, art, and sports, this is a healthy hobby that I hope will grow into an important voice for the Lower Mainland of BC.

#Introduction #Journadon #Newstodon #Journalistes #Media #Mediapart #FF #FollowFriday #StarterKit

Greetings all, this is my #introduction

I came to #science writing as a reporter first, explaining fracking as rigs went up in neighborhoods 20 years ago. Later, our town was the first Texas city to ban the practice.

Recently, I collaborated with a brilliant researcher and clinician writing a book that makes the science of human behavior accessible to caregivers--so their loved ones with autism can be happy and make progress.

I'm all in, y'all. Writing science in plain language is vital.

#Introduction

Chef de projet informatique avec une expérience variée (#PO, #PM, #dev, Resp. informatique), je suis passionné par la #technologie et l’#innovation. J’accorde une grande importance au design #UX/#UI, à l’#accessibilité et à la #sécurité.

En dehors du travail, j’adore partir à l’aventure, et pq pas à #vélo dans la #nature et les villes.

Entre deux #voyages ou projets, je bidouille des choses que j’oublie de #documenter et de #partager dans mon #blog (#jekyll #staticpages)

#introduction

Primarily I write #ScienceFiction and #humor, but I've also written darkly comic stuff, fabulist satire, and some literary fiction. Once I blogged squibs, screeds and other drivel (some pure & some quite tainted with meaning.)

My cats keep me sane(ish).

If you want to understand my rich inner life, I recommend this #book: Alpha Max.

https://geni.us/AlphaMax

Occasionally pimp some of the others.

Hello
Hoping this becomes my new online home!
I'm an elder millennial. Engineer in the aviation industry. 🚁 My days are spent on fuel systems but my free time is all about gaming, playing sysadmin and dabbling in game development. When I'm not at the screen, you'll find me hiking, blasting metal, or enjoying a good beer. Oh, I have a soft spot for Mercedes Benz and Audi.
Let's make Mastodon the ultimate social media hub! 🤘

#introduction
Hello everyone! I am a small creator, artist and streamer. I enjoy drawing, playing videogames and sometimes I like to stream my chaos. I also have a SubStack where I have some articles and a Story I've been working for the past who know how many years...

https://iliwritesstuff.substack.com/
Wanna meet some people and get to actually enjoy social media... for a change! I also review movies from time to time.

I've just realized I need an #introduction again because I never had anything pinned.

Hi. I'm a clown, and I play with handstands and other circusy things with my clown family. I have a science and safety background. I think in music and weird noises; my main instruments have been brass and voice although I've performed with toy piano and melodica too.

And I like conversations with people about what and who they care about.

New instance, new #introduction!

I'm a woman in my 30s. I was born in #Québec City, I moved to #Vancouver for my first real job as a #translator and, a few years ago, I moved to #Ottawa with my husband so we could afford a house.

I mostly write in English, but don't hesitate to toot at me in #français!

I've worked in multiple fields... my favourite were my years with Library and Archives #Canada, which I absolutely loved. I now work in #agriculture.

I love #videogames, mostly #FFXIV right now. I have an #ebike. I love #books and #cooking. I miss #travel.

I'm very much pro (vaccine, science, choice, mask, etc.).

Come say hi 👋

I have been told that it is customary to do an #introduction post, so here I go.

I love #cats, have 2; #squid (arsehole) and #newton (fatso).

#music is important to me and I have something playing most of the time.

#sewing and #knitting are my hobbies as well as #gardening. I sound like an old woman! Oh wait I am!!

Love #books have way too many. Too many on #baking and #crafts

Oh I talk too much and laugh way too loud - might also find me dancing in the aisle of my local supermarket.

xx

An #introduction post is probably appropriate. So: Hello from #norway !

I'm here hoping to find interesting #DIY #electronics and other nerdy projects, in addition to sharing my own stuff.

I've been fiddling with #esp32 microcontroller/WiFi modules for a while, and will probably post my share of esp32 related projects.

My primary programming languages are #php #cpp #javascript

I do #pcb design with #Kicad, simple 2D design with #qcad and 3D work in #freecad.

I write about some of my projects on my personal blog, https://espenandersen.no

My GitHub repository is found at https://github.com/espena

My old #introduction got lost somewhere

German, he/him, 40s, living in Poland (#lodz). I work in IT and do some geeky computer stuff on the side (#usenet, #uucp, #irc)

My main hobby are #ttrpgs (#osr #dnd, #traveller, #shadowrun) and similar (#minipainting, #boardgames) but I also do writing and reading (#fantasy, #sf) and #cooking

I will be complaining about #kids, #cats, lack of #coffee, and the general state of the world

I do get weirdly obsessed with topics sometimes. But don't we all?

#introduction
My husband and I (and our dog, of course) make our agrarian adventures in the Appalachian mountains where we raise honey bees, coturnix quail, vegetables and fruits, microgreens, and more. We have a lovely rescue rabbit we adore, named Siegfried, who keeps us well-stocked with some of nature's best fertilizer.

Formerly Tickfoot on another server I took a long (and refreshing) social media hiatus and am excited to meet like-minded folks on here again.

If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:
https://wetdry.world/@ipg/113449765700357189

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

Remember to look into the #introduction tag from time to time and boost the people there. This is a reminder for myself too because I sometimes forget, but it's important to help new users feel welcome and create their social group here.

In the past few days there's been a significant uptick in new users (unsurprisingly) on the order of 15x as much as usual. So let's make them feel welcome.

#Introduction. Transferred to a new instance.
Hello, I’m Aaron! I’m proudly blind, having lost my sight to retinoblastoma as a child. I have an amazing wife, who is also blind named Joyce and an adorable 2-and-a-half-year-old son, Liam. Originally from the Philippines, I’m now based in Milan, Italy.
I’m passionate about blindness-related topics and accessibility. My interests also include ham radio, aviation, and space exploration. Oh, and I love new gadgets! Even though I can’t always afford them, I’m always excited to explore new tech!

Hi! I am a girl-shaped creature from #scotland. #trans, neurospicy, always tired. I'm not a fan of social media but people keep telling me I should give fedi a go.

Planetary data scientist by training, but right now I pay the bills with #webdev. One of those weirdos who actually likes #css. I use #ArchLinux btw.

I play #netrunner, #fabtcg, #pokémon, #ffxiv and all kinds of #ttrpg. Feel free to reach out!

I'm Liliana, I'm 25, I'm hella gay, and I'm a Wikipedian. I got a bunch of unimportant user rights, and am a bit of a dummy.

Here's my #introduction

I'm Nathalie, interested in sociocracy, commons and open-source with an academic background in (biochemical) engineering. I love working with self-organised groups towards social change.

foodsharing.de was my main project over the last years, now I'm working with karrot.word. Looking into group governance I'm very into sociocracy and Sociocracy for All being my home for that!

#introduction 👋🏻

moin, bin Mo, komme aus Schottland (in England geboren), beruflich mache ich etwas mit internet und KI und metadata für die BBC, und ich bin nicht total neu um das Födiversum

meine Muttersprache ist Englisch, aber mithilfe Duolingo, TV, Twitter, usw. habe ich seit 2019 ein paar deutsche Wörter gelernt

ich höre gern Deutschrap und deutschsprachige Komödie (wirklich)

Hallo Welt! Ich bin ein in Aachen lebender Informatikstudent Mitte zwanzig, der sich für Themen wie Aktivismus, Nachhaltigkeit, Minimalismus und Anarchismus interessiert. Ich habe bisher soziale Medien eher gemieden, aber finde das Projekt des Fediversums sehr inspirierend. Hier hoffe ich eine Community zu finden, die von Solidarität, Empathie und dem Kampf für eine bessere Zukunft geprägt ist statt von Hass, Desinformation, Oberflächlichkeit und kommerziellen Interessen.

Hello World! I'm a computer science student in my mid-twenties living in Aachen, Germany. I'm interested in topics like activism, sustainability, minimalism and anarchism. Until now I have mostly avoided social media but I find the project of the fediverse very inspiring. Here I hope to find a community that is shaped by solidarity, empathy and the fight for a better future instead of hate, disinformation, shallowness and commercial interests.
