#INTRODUCTION

Hi! I'm a UK artist who mostly draws about disability and being a parent carer. For example, here is today's drawing, part of my Carers Week series where I take the words of fellow parent carers and turn them into pictures
This is the drawing for day 6.

#today feels like a good day for a re-#introduction here

My book #TheAlgorithmWillSeeYouNow has been out for 3 months!

It's a near-future #SciFi #thriller about (and this feels really ironic right now) what might happen in #healthcare if medical treatment was determined by a revolutionary #AI algorithm, only the people behind it ignore a fatal flaw/hidden bias in the #algorithm in order to maximize profits

Since a bunch of pony people joined recently and I have not done it before I'm doing my #introduction now

Hi I'm Fauli1221 also known under the names of my oc's Azure Star and Sky Splash
I'm 21 years old and I'm a software developer.
I have ADHD, Autism (Asperger Syndrome) and Dyslexia.

@FunnyJo is my girlfriend!

In the community I'm not really know much but that's something I'm planning on changing that

My oc's are like I previously mentioned Sky Splash and Azure Star with Sky Splash being the #Hippogriff
and Azure Star being my #Batpony

If anyone somehow wants to use my oc's feel free to do so as long as it's SFW and non fetish

Is six months too soon to update my #introduction? Oh well, here it goes:

I'm currently obsessed with #PokemonGo and #geocaching. (It's because I'm trying to improve my #LittleFreeLibrary - trust me, they're related.) Besides those, I'm focused on #AchievementHunting, #TradingCards, and #reading

When I'm not nerding out about those, I'm working on #HomeImprovement. My wife dreams of #homesteading, so I'm helping her with #gardening and planning to raise a #chicken or two

That's all for now!

I guess I should do another #introduction since I turned auto-delete off.

Hi, my name is Finn and my pronouns are he/him.

I live in the Pacific Northwest region of the US in an extremely small town.

I’m 17, still in high school, and wanting to go to college for CS or CE. Whoever will take me (but preferably UW.)

I am interested in movies (https://boxd.it/3UgeX), music (https://www.last.fm/user/isfutura), and computer related things. Most of the time I’ll post about these topics.

DMs open.

I’ve added a #fedi #introduction forum to provide another venue for folks to list their accounts on the fedi and for folks to find cool and fascinating accounts to follow! (Not me though, I’m the farthest thing from cool and fascinating!)

Like all the other forums and topic categories, posts in fedi-intros are published to ActivityPub as well, or you can follow via Email!

Time for a #introduction post! Hi, I'm amasuri. Currently work as a freelance #gamedev and on weekends I'm a solo #indiedev for fun!

Currently working solo on the RPG of my dreams, there's a trailer in the pinned post and to save you a click to my profile: https://amasuri.itch.io/altale-i-kalmahalla-dungeon

Also made a tiny fun junk deflection game last year together with @YoukaiDrawing ! You can check it out on https://amasuri.itch.io/nocturnal-rapier-deflector for web and PC, it's free (I'm really just doing it for the fun of it). Here's a GIF:

HELLO new #instance I just migrated to!! 👋 #introduction

happy to be here as a long-time member of the #yegbike community, even in, like, real life!! <gasp> 🚲

I've volunteered with several #urbanism and #cycling orgs, and been on a couple boards in #yeg #Edmonton. A core tenet of mine is that nobody should have to fear for their life trying to get where they need to go. radical, I know.

other things I may post about:
#biking #ebiking #running #retroGaming #antiHustleCulture

An ebike on a sunny day in the late afternoon, in front of the Edmonton skyline. The vibe is golden, fall-like.
An ebike with a front basket locked on a bike rack. There is a low-rise building and a large, lush tree in the background. Three other bikes are locked up next to my bike.
A single speed road bike in front of a bench and the Edmonton skyline in the background. The bike has a ton of stickers on it and green handlebar tape.
POV: you're on a road bike, looking forwards over the handlebars. They are wrapped in green bar tape, there's a black bell, a phone holder, and an action cam attached. You are in a parking spot that says RESERVED. ONLINE ORDER, IN-STORE & CURBSIDE PICK UP. For some reason, I get weird looks when I don't pull up in a huge SUV to pick up an order...

After 7 months of seeing how great sharing #rstats content on here is, I need to start my #introduction by committing to write and share more. I benefit 100% from articles, tutorials and blogs - so I need to return the favor.

I love my job - I get to develop R packages/apps to enable innovative thinking in early clinical development. When not overworking I spend time with my fiancé, family, and friends experiencing all that Buffalo has to offer!

I'm the kind of nerd who has built their own PC, complete with rainbow #gaymer lights. I also love #cooking, #baking, all things #cats and #animation.

I'm new to Fediverse and didn't use Twitter after like 2016 so still figuring this shit out.

Not sure what else to put in an

♿🔞 Many (Fresh account move)
22 hours ago

Hello, Tenforward!!! I suppose a new #introduction/#introductions post is in order.

We're many, a manifold mindmesh, viscountexx of chitin, and you may not have our names. We're a queer games streamer, sex worker, amateur self-taught 3d artist, witch of plants & other gay things, and all around "content creator" and recovering tech queer.

We have a few more accounts around Fedi, and boost nearly all the posts we make from those accounts to main!

@viscountexx for the fae/doll posting
@colchispod for our audio drama podcast-in-progress
@mindmeshlink@thicc.horse for the sex work promos
@MindmeshLink@disabled.social for disability rambles and poetry when we don't just, use main for that
and @MindmeshLink@weirder.earth for... Uh, we'll figure it out!

We've been around the fedi since before Mastodon used ActivityPub and are happy to give tips - please ask questions, and please ask before giving advice. Previous main that we're phasing out is/was @manifold.

We have a site at https://mindmesh.link which links to most things we do online. That site will be revamped soon, so stay tuned!

To neatly cap this post off, here's some pictures of various levels of horny for you to enjoy! Thanks for reading!

it's Many! a white queer with wet purple-to-blonde gradient hair and a smile on faer face, accentuated by a pair of spiderbite lip piercings, riding in some sort of boat! faer glasses are tinted, and fae're in a trans-colored bikini top.
Many again, but now naked and glasses-less with faer face is covered in (somewhat clear) cum. some of it got in faer eye, oh dear. always wear eye protection!
many are wearing glasses, a pink shirt that has a cat with a knife saying "do crime", and yellow boxers that accentuate a bulge.
many in a pretty red floral tank top and red/black patterned skirt, blue/black collar with a bell, and a cute black sun hat, laying in the grass relaxing all cutely.

Thrilled to welcome our new #mstdnca peeps! :mstdnca:​

Not sure where to start?

An #introduction post will help introduce yourself.

Alright, time for an #introduction post for this new server! My name is Borealis, but most online know me as the LiteralGrill! You can call me Allie for short.

I absolutely adore #anime and #manga and often write essays on what I'm watching. I'm a big fan of animation in general, as well as any other obscure media.

I'm #disabled and care deeply about #disability justice. I'm pretty staunchly on the left, so fair warning!

Oh yeah, I love to play #boardgames! I have a pretty weird collection and might show off some of my rarities and oddities on occasion.

You should check out what I'm doing in those links on my profile, I'm sure you'll find something that catches your interest to read about!

I'm really happy to be here and hope I can support this fantastic decentralized platform while making amazing connections across the globe.

After 1 month on Mastodon, here is what I've learned:

👉 Start your first toot with an introduction. Be sure to use the #introduction tag so more people can find it.
👉 Use tags. Always include tags in your toots. Also, subscribe to your favorite tags so you can find people to follow.
👉 Use a dedicated app. After trying several clients my choice was @ivory but there are several other options out there.
👉 Support your instance. They are the ones who keep everything running smoothly.

My previous #introduction got lost in the ether when I moved to this instance, so here’s a new one:

🐶 I mostly draw stuff and post dog pics. My dog’s name is Benzo because he was supposed to help with my anxiety (he didn’t). I would die for him.

⚡️ I’m a trained SKYWARN storm spotter. If I say “get in the basement”, please listen.

▫️ I don’t follow NSFW/kink accounts but I don’t mind at all if you follow me.

Now, please look at my dog. Thank u.

Ok, I guess the thing to do is write an #introduction post...

I'm Packy, and I'm a third-generation computer professional through my mother's side of the family. I've worn a lot of hats in my 30+ years of work: PC tech, sysadmin, network engineer, support specialist, software architect, but the one I enjoy the most is Perl Developer. I put my perl stuff on my Github page.

In my spare time, my wife and I do community theater, and we have a puppet company called PacKay Productions. We stopped making puppet videos before the pandemic, but we're looking forward to forming some new creative partnerships and firing up the video cameras again.

Anyway, my name is Gustavo and I live in #Jundiaí, the city of #grapes, in #Brazil. I am currently a #PhD student in #biochemistry and the #question I am trying to answer is:

Is it possible to use the knowledge of the #plant #circadianclock to increase the efficiency of #weedmanagement in #sorghum crop?

At the same time I trying to answer what is #time?

In between, I make #music and #dance to the #rhythms of #life. It's like @neilhimself says in his profile: "It is too late now!"

Pict and Celt are sisters, rescue cats and now pretty senior. They can’t stand each other and fight a lot but will be in the same room rather than separated, so I guess that’s something.

🌈🍎 Hello, I am a queer teacher candidate who was terminated for coming out to my students. I did not graduate from teacher's college because I came out to my students. My GoFundMe video explains the issue. Protect trans kids!

LGBTQ+ rights in education can't backslide like this. Please donate and share the link, and if you know anyone who sets the Gay Agenda, can you make sure my case is on it?

It’s been a while, so here’s my updated #introduction!

I'm Roddy, a British iOS developer who moved to Canada in 2020. 🇬🇧🇨🇦

I created my first app back in 2014, and now I'm working full-time as an iOS developer at theScore.

I also work on three indie apps, @soka, @classifier and @ceramispace, as well maintaining a newsletter focused on indie app development. You can check it out at https://roddymunro.substack.com!

#Introduction

hello everyone, I'm Puff! I just migrated over here from a different server. I've been on Mastodon since last November.

I don't think i'm that interesting ha. Well before becoming disabled I was in college and was studying film/TV production. I still enjoy parts of it but don't want a career in it.

I have a TBI along with a few other things so it's hard to do much day to day. I've come to enjoy video games, anime, birding, cooking shows, drawing (when I'm able) and writing poetry (also when I'm able). Some of my favorite games are Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, Final Fantasy XIV, and Breath of the Wild.

hope to make some friends here! <3

#introduction

Primarily I write #ScienceFiction and #humor, but I've also written darkly comic stuff, fabulist satire, and some literary fiction. Once I was a prolific blogger of squibs, screeds and other drivel (some pure & some quite tainted with meaning.) I co-host a podcast. I teach at a university.

My cats are keeping me sane. (Ish.)

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

My name is Jackson Allen. My dream is to take care of myself and be nice to people - I'm doing that by practicing to be a self-sufficient science fiction author. I tell stories as a kind gesture in a cruel time. Science fiction is a weapon in the war against our dystopian reality. https://inkican.com/about/why-i-write/ #introduction #author #amwriting #author #writing

Hi, my name is Alex and I like to give warm hugs!

Please read my blog because I'm needy.

I was once voted "Nicest Person here" and I am not exactly sure why.

#Introduction

Hi there, I'm a real life hedgehog.

I like personal computers and want to bring them back. Stuff like #HyperCard and other brilliant #HCI projects are my jam. #retrocomputing fellow traveler (but I prefer working with newer tech) and end-user programming believer.

I'll probably use this account to complain about tech and the tech industry and to post screenshots of little projects and stuff.

What else... I like #touhou a lot, but I'm still pretty bad at dodging danmaku.
