#introduction
Hey, I'm Johto. Coming to this instance in search of a place here in the #Fediverse.
I'm a huge Linux enthusiast and massive nerd from the Midwest. I play / watch anything that catches my eye.
I play drums and write music, as well as love photography! I will be posting some pics of mine and lyrics / drum takes.
I'm here to just vibe with good people, really. I'll often just say what's on my mind and joke around aha. Don't take what I have to say too seriously.
Mostly posting about #VideoGames #Gaming #Nintendo #NintendoSwitch #WWE #AEW #Linux #LinuxGaming #Android #FOSS #RockMusic #Metal #Photography #Nature
Looking forward to meeting some of y'all! 💞

Hi! Call me Zubat. #introduction
I'm broadly into #Cartoons #Anime #Manga #VideoGames #KDramas #Sitcoms. I'm watching #UncleKDrama atm, and I'm very into #SkipAndLoafer #MyLiberationNotes #TheOwlHouse as well. I just got some games from the #3DS eShop closure, so I'll talk about those too.
I'm also #ActuallyADHD #ActuallyOCD so I'll talk about headcanons for characters involving those as well as about my own personal experiences (with warnings).
(more specific hashtags below)
#introduction (WIP lol)
Not my first time on Mastodon, but returning after a break from social media.
I sometimes shitpost at Mach Jesus just a warning.
Big PC gamer (mostly Destiny 2 and World of Warcraft at the moment). I also enjoy building computers even though I don't know what I'm doing.
Always down to learn new things and make new friends!
#introduction redo (accidentally deleted it)
worked in the arts, but got really ill.
share mainly both my phone photos
and also pro photos (source marked)
#Photography #cat #dog #plants #LosAngeles #Chemotherapy #Homebound #VisuallyImpaired
more detailed alt text always available upon request
👋 #introduction time!
I'm a Solutions Architect Leader at #AWS, passionate about #CloudComputing, #photography, #travel, and #gaming. When I'm not on a computer, I'm hanging out in #Colorado with my wife and two little dudes.
This is my third account (most recent: @mike@lapidak.is), and hopefully, my last. I've set up Mastodon servers, and love learning from the community. Running a solo instance can get lonely, though, and I felt I was missing out on some of the best that Mastodon has to offer.
Hola 👋🏽! My name is Yaisiel (Yai) Torres. I've been living in the DMV area since 2015 and would love to connect with smart and interesting humans living in the area.
My professional interests lie in the intersection between web development, engineering management, and green tech. I want my kids and future generations, in general, to have a planet to enjoy. Anything I could do to contribute to that goal gives meaning to the daily grind.
Last but not least, I'm also a gamer (now playing Metroid Prime Remake on the Switch and the Villainous Boardgame) and a rock music fan (Tool, APC, and NIN sit at the top of my list). I'm currently working hard to make habits out of reading books and jogging at a nice pace.
Hello! I'm Jack, it's nice to meet you! o/
I'm a #queer #gamedev with a particular interest in making browser-based games.
I particularly am interested in virtual pet games, and what we can make those look like with modern frameworks. But I'm also interested in the accessibility and intersectionality of that with "web 1.0" design principles -- JavaScript can do cool stuff but you shouldn't need it to load the basic page text.
Other than that, I play FFXIV and sometimes other games!
This account will likely mostly be dedicated to gamedev, but may have some other webdev and art mixed in. I also have a (SFW but 18+) personal alt over at: https://plush.city/@jack
But this account (at peoplemaking.games) will likely be more specific in topic and not restricted followers-wise.
I think that's it! Thank you for reading and I look forward to posting here!
Good evening everyone! I’m new to Mastodon and hoping to de-tweet my existence. I’d like to spend my SM time positively.
I follow US politics, but hate the divisive tone.
I like to cycle, read and learn. Currently trying to learn Japanese.
Travel is important to my mind as is thoughtfulness.
Everything has a grey area. But teaching and learning are vital to my existence.
#Introduction, #Introductions and #NewHere, #Cycling, #Recumbents, #PTSD, #HappilyMarried, #Meteorology
Saw something about another increase in #new #Mastodon users -- if you're #newHere -- welcome! 🤗
By way of #introduction, let's be friends if you're interested in:
#astronomy #astrophotography #NASA #space #mythology #Greekmyth #storytelling #constellations or related content!
You can also expect:
- the occasional dunk on Johann Bayer
- strong expressions of love for #BlackHoles and #exoplanets
- ret-con(stellations) of classic constellation stories
-silly/fun constellation-related pop culture
- periodic #StarTrek, #DoctorWho, and #StarWars (mostly #Grogu content
- #podcast promos (but, hopefully, not in an annoying way)

Hey! Decided to move server since a lot of what I post is games-centric, so I think this is a better fit for me. So hi again! 👋
My name's Alanna and I'm a 3D Environment Artist for games! I've been at No Code in Glasgow for ~5 years now, and we're currently making a Silent Hill game. Spookyyy
I'll mostly post/boost things on here I love like illustration, games, and Blender (it's great ok), and sometimes my cat Medli.
@coffeinik
Howdy! Glad to have you with us!
I recommend getting started by filling out your profile and posting an #introduction so we can all get to know you. If you have any questions about anything, feel free to ask me and I'll help you out as best I can. Hope you enjoy embarking with us on this grand experiment. :)
@CentaurWorks I noticed that you are new here. You should probably create an #introduction post to greet and tell more about yourself so you can get noticed in the fediverse and pin it to your profile..
There is no search on Mastodon, so hashtag your posts and make sure to add alt-text to your images describing what it is as some users may not boost your post without them. This is for accessability.
I hope you will enjoy your stay.
#introduction Hey folks, I'm making this page mostly to share my work and work I admire! Stay tuned.
hi ^w^
I'm new on this instance (but on the fedi since late 2016 - early 2017) so let me introduce myself
I'm Émy or Xana (pronounced as Shana), a late 20's autistic and ADHD french transfem
I prefer when people use one of my names instead of pronouns
I am a disabled technician who hacks to improve my life and the lives of my loved ones as well as to survive
I practice mechanics as an amateur, on my car and my manual active wheelchair
I love modelling and 3D printing useful things to make my daily life better and more ergonomic, as well as to repair broken things
I publish some of my 3D models here: https://www.printables.com/fr/social/303775-oniricorpe/models
I have a french-speaking tumblr where I present and explain my tinkering, but you can surely use an automatic translator:
https://www.tumblr.com/shana-broken-thing
I have a dog, a 9 years old german shepherd and malinois cross, called Leone
I may talk about her here one day
I learn to draw on an iPad, but I don't share much of what I do, or else on my french-speaking main account
I have a small website where all my links are listed:
https://oniricorpe.eu/index-en.html
before sending me a follow request, please send me a private message to introduce yourself or to get to know each other, it is very important for me
please don't mind me if I don't accept you, or that I don't answer or am late in answering, social is difficult for me
I leave you with this picture that I like very much ^w^

#Introduction We're getting on the fediverse for the first time! We'll be sharing the medicinal artwork of social justice trickster organizer Ricardo Levins Morales (shown here in both his northern U.S. and Puerto Rican mountain habitats).
Ricardo's posters made for and within social justice movements span 50 years and counting.
RLM's art is available in many formats on our website https://RLMArtStudio.com, along with more info about him and our union shop in Minneapolis, MN USA.

Hello DMV friends. My name is Walker and I fix bikes.
I love interesting builds and seemingly intractable problems.
When I'm not greasy from repairs, or sweaty from rides you'll probably catch me book in hand and cat in lap.
Hit me up if you need bike repairs or advice. Or if you have a good book rec to pass on.
Всем привет!👋
Перед вами программист, крафтовый алконафт, пека/ретро-геймер, лютейший виндузятник (но в работе использую Linux).
Люблю научную фантастику, технологии, OpenSource, self-hosting и чтоб работало с полпинка. Иногда ковыряю Ableton Live и нейросети.
Пришёл в Федеративные сети, так как давно хотел поучаствовать в увеличении информационной энтропии путём распространения никому не нужного бреда из своей головушки. Да и от самой концепции связных self-hosted блогов/соцсетей я в восторге.
В некоторых аспектах я скорее контр-обыватель Федеративной сети, чем её типичный представитель. Мои взгляды на политику, самоидентификацию и жизненные ценности, а так же мой возраст сильно отличаются от средних по палате русскоязычному сегменту Федерации (особенно в части Мастодона).
В споры на вышеуказанные темы не вступаю, при любом признаке когнитивной манипуляции просто баню - потому что могу следить надо не только за физическим здоровьем, но и за ментальным.
Живу в РФ 🇷🇺 и единственное место куда я хочу свалить - это светлое будущее, которого не видно ни в одной точке планеты.
#followme и да прибудут с вами мой сервер, который хрен знает почему отваливается, и рандомно расставленные запятые в бездарно написанных постах!
У меня есть второй аккаунт: @engineer - я его веду от имени администратора узла entropysource.ru, выкладываю свои мысли на тему Федеративных сетей, пишу про администрирование Френдики, инструкции для пользователей и другую полезную информацию.
@owstarr Write up an #introduction post as a lot of folks track that hastag, and it will probably summon @dgar too.
Curious if you’ve read this The Wolves of Algonquin Park: A 12 Year Ecological Study

As the bio says, I'm a weirdo, I do all sorts of stuff!
I like FOSS, Linux, electronics, science, space, I'm a curious creature!
As for media, I love sci-fi themes, though I very rarely watch/read anything non-furry, so it's mostly in art and comics.
I am alterhuman, which in my case means I want to be a RL awooo and scream dispenser (folf).
Hey #introduction time!
I'm BlueHunter, an artist that loves character design, animals in robes or armor & stained glass art. Interested in freelance & contract work 🍷
Most of my work you'll find here is dedicated to my medieval headworld "in Nomine", the other half are commissions.
Trying to slowly establish myself on here as well.

I'm a #London based #cheetah #furry.

Hallo! Abandoned Berlin is a project to document the city’s ruins, relics and derelict places.
It began in 2009 when Spreepark, an old abandoned amusement park, was calling from the other side of a tall fence. I eventually went over and it was such a magical experience that I wrote about it along with a guide for others to enjoy it, too.
Teufelsberg, Krampnitz, Bärenquell, the stories kept coming. Tall tales of trespass and anecdotes of fear.
Go, explore. 🐗

#introduction time!
I'm a software developer, enby, trans-masc, from Brazil.
I live in Sweden with my fiancee and our two cats. Our favorite family activity lately is to sit by a window and watch the birds eat the seeds we put out for them.
I'm also growing chili this year (among other things) for the first time! Do leave tips if you have any.
I work for Red Hat leading the work on OpenShift's internal registry (a team of one heh!) and also do some Quay work every now and then.
Come say hi!
We can likely expect an influx of #Twitter refugees over the next three weeks given the coming changes to the site.
Remember that this place can be disorienting for new users. If you see anyone asking for help, reach out and help or provide resources!
If you are a newcomer: come on in, grab and a blanket, and make yourself at home. Consider an #introduction post about yourself with hashtags that interest you! Looking for #help? Just ask! There are plenty of people here willing to assist.

So, #mastodon, a quick about me!
My name on the internet is thewarship, but most people call me Shippy!
I used to be a professional wrestler (you know, suplexes and superkicks) until 2019, when I broke my neck.
Since then, I've been on the internet, telling my story to all who will hear it.
I hope we can be friends!

Hello Mastodon!
I love all kinds of dogs, but Weimaraners have captured my heart! My sister has a 5-year old Weimaraner named Nelly.
I dog sit her often, so I'm going to share what she gets up to when she's at her aunt's!
(I dare you to resist this derp face!)

Our amazing people in Research & Development constantly work toward a greater understanding of our universe as well as the Chimichanga Dimension.

Hello!
New instance, new #introduction...!
I'm a creative neurodivergent GenX human he/him Canadian.
I'm quantum entangled to the love of my life and serve two cats.
I make photos, digital (3D/cg) art and wrangle with writing.
I'm working on a neverending scifi...thing.
I consider myself progressive, and I try to be an ally to my co-humans. I know I still have a lot to learn.
Some more of my interests are hashtagged in my bio.
Peace!
It's been some time since the last #introduction post, so here's a new one!
I'm Essem, a :neurodiversity: neurodivergent software dev, sysadmin, and occasional internet funnyman. I run this instance (:wdw: wetdry.world) and have made plenty of other things, most notably esmBot.
I really like tech stuff (both old and new), video games (especially the :mario:#Mario series, which this instance is somewhat themed around!), and other weird things. If that sounds interesting to you, let's chat! I'm always down to talk to new people.
My (somewhat minimal) personal website can be found at https://essem.space. I'm also currently looking for a good Linux sysadmin or JS/C++/Java programming job if anyone is hiring.
Thanks for reading, and if you're new around here, welcome to the :fedi: Fediverse!
For those new to Mastodon, here are some handy tips on getting the most out of your experience:
1. Follow a lot of people
2. Follow a lot of people
3. Follow a lot of people
4. Follow a lot of people
5. You can always un-follow them later, if you want to 😋
PS -- also remember to do an #Introduction post!

Hello, all. I'm a D.C.-area technology journalist whose first immersion in social media involved Usenet in the mid 1990s. I've been freelancing full time since 2011, writing for the likes of Fast Company, PCMag, Wirecutter, USA Today and Yahoo Finance and speaking at conferences reasonably often. Before then, I wrote a personal-tech column for the Washington Post. Other relevant descriptions: husband, dad, cook, photographer, cyclist, gardener, frequent flyer.
#introduction
[checks follower count]
Okay, the best time to do an #introduction post would have been before I hit 10 followers, not 1,000. But now would be the second-best time.
Well, I have an odd hobby. I like to read and find news stories I think are worthwhile, both to keep from being blindsided by events and to stay well-rounded and informed.
My slant does tend to be human rights/justice oriented
Other interests include
#climate
#writing
#history
#crafting
#quilting
#poetry
#criticalrole
#fanfic
#folklore
#dnd
#videogames
#geology
#sci
#SciFi
#Gaming
Sometimes I post original content. Ya never know when a poem happens.
@JeavonsToffee when you get a chance, post an #introduction (include that hash tag) with pictures of your treats and a link to the shop, and I’m sure people will flock to you!
Use the #vegan hashtag too. Hashtags are important here because that’s the only way to search for posts, and people follow certain hashtags!
I figured out this whole #fediverse thing and picked an instance I like, so here goes an #introduction
I go by dianna, you can find me online using that name in a few places, depending on where you look
things that interest me
- #queer #lgbtq #trans spaces
- more of ‘em, please and thank you
- I really like queer clubs so you might see me dancing at one from time to time
- #software #programming #cs

- sorry gals, guys, and enby pals, I don’t do #ai or #ml, I just shitpost about jailbreaks and then freak over #aidontkilleveryoneism

things that bring me joy

- unexpectedly intense conversations when you find someone with a shared interest
Hi guys, my name's Grace, and I'm new here. I decided I've had enough, needing a change so I closed up my home on Twitter to move to a different platform, and start over. Lots of new faces! Finding myself getting lost but excited to explore. I know it would all become familiar soon enough. Looking forward to meeting all of you and building some new connections!
@bmerberg I'd usually say send an intro tagged with #introduction so people can share it - But you did that.
. Follow anyone who seems interesting, you can always unfollow later.
. Share generously! That's how stuff gets an audience, and gets to different servers on Mastodon.
. Likes don't do anything for the post, but liking is nice as a thank-you to the poster.
. Use #lots #of #HashTags and capitalise every word for screen-readers.
. Add a description of every photo you post.
This may be premature, but I'm feeling compelled to post this #introduction. I'm Bob Merberg and am new to Mastodon. I'm determined to get into a groove here, but the learning curve feels steep.
I deleted my Facebook account 10 years ago, my main Twitter account 5 years ago, and my secondary Twitter account in November.
In the past, I've been active on #linkedin, but I hate what it's become. For me, now, it's just a bad habit.
I have varied interests. My prof'l background is as a recovering employee wellness manager. Now I'm self-employed, mostly creating #content. I'm a #writer at heart.
My social media and web posts tend to mostly be about #work life and #labor. I have a user's interest in #AI. I'm not into memes, but may post the occasional #caturday pic.
I'm a #ukulele upstart and enjoy lots of different kinds of #music.
If you have suggestions for who/what I should follow, I'd welcome them!

Guess I'll start with an #introduction toot.
Came here from the #BirdApp. Have had enough of the changes made to that platform. I don't give a damn about the number of likes, or impressions I receive. I'm tired of adverts interwoven in the stream of posts. Most of all - I'm sick of the #ChiefTwitt doing monkey business.
Enough of all this rage. I'm here to start anew and I intend to make a positive contribution to #Universeodon... Hell, to the whole #Fediverse! Hope an occasional rant won't put you off interacting with me.
