I'm new and excited to be here? I've been looking for ways to be connected and have services available, but keep privacy and security top of mind. My efforts have been focused on my home network, but I'm starting to broaden that to social media. I've always had a beef with SM and have hated how irrelevant it can be.
Enter Mastodon.
In many ways this is just an experiment, but it is one that I hope takes off and is, for me, successful.
A bit about me: I'm a nerd, pure and simple. I love Star Trek, reading (anything), science/tech, DnD (Monks for the win!), woodworking, and astronomy. I'm currently looking for ways to combine hobbies (like building a 3d-printed & wood framed telescope).
I am a former member of a cult...long story. and am in a lengthy process of discovering...we...me.
Hope to meet some cool people, and engage in new ways.
Do we do #introduction posts here? Hello, I'm new here. This is a selection of what you can expect from me in general. Skies and #clouds, #nature, #animals and #food 😁
since i switched instances this week, i thought i'd do a (re) #introduction.
hi! my name is Mayank. i go by they/them pronouns.
i'm a design engineer (or "frontend developer" in less fancy terms) trying to build a less broken, more accessible web.
i write a lot of HTML/CSS/JS, so i post a lot about it too. web standards stuff yes, but also framework stuff. anything relevant for building websites.
here's my website that i can never find enough time to work on: https://mayank.co
Hello! This is the account for the Friends Of The Palmerston Gardens, enjoyers of the little garden patches on the southern corners of Palmerston and Bloor.
I saw some guerilla gardeners put in these flowers, and I was happy and grateful!
Then I saw them dying of thirst, and I was reproachful. How could this neighbourhood let this go to waste and die right in front of them?
How could WE! How could we make it work together?
Help us all answer this vital question - together!
right now I'm working on VII Days a game for game boy color and "The Unfound Net" a project that I haven't talked much about yet but it's looking great.
New account, migrated from old. I guess I should do an #introduction post for the #fediverse.
Hello! I'm a father, husband, and DevOps Engineer by trade. I build award-winning custom motorcycles in my down time.
I've had the fortune of messing with tech since the TRS-80. My dad helped successfully steer us clear of Microsoft product offerings my whole life. From Deskmate > GeoWorks > OS/2. Then from there, Linux > BeOS > MacOS > Linux. I really enjoy #elementaryos and #fedora.
Tired of insta and etsy, starting my mastodon journey today!
So let me do an #introduction post. I make ceramics and porcelain in a small studio in Berlin.
Sometimes practical, but mostly experimenting with the artistic side.
German and English are not my native, so expect me to translate a lot.
Hey y'all tag my ass when yall popping y'all shit and imma share and Boooooost no cap 🙌🏾
Welcome to da fediverse 🙏🏿
Y'all get a super boost if yo post supports Black Lives ❤️ #introduction#introductions#blackmastodon#BlackFedi
New instance, new introduction. Hello, I am Adam from Ottawa Canada. I am a totally blind man, identifying as he/him.
My primary interests are technology and music. I was a former professional drummer, playing the bar stages of Ottawa and the ocasional out-of-town show.
I've always been rhythmical, annoying the heck out of my parents at the tendor age of four on up banging on pots, pans, spoons, and whatever else I could get my grubby little hands on.
I got my first drum kit when I was 12, back in 1999. I got a couple of upgrades over the years, and then switched to electronic kits in 2007 when I managed to save and purchase a Roland TD-12 kit with my own money. That was like buying a car for me, LOL.
I was professionally active from 2007 until 2019.
Some hearing issues with extended loudness causing anxiety and unease started my issues with playing live shows, and then COVID19 really finished that career.
I've been interested in technology from a young age as well, receiving my first electronic note taker for the blind, a Blazie Engineering Braille Lite in 1996 at the age of 9.
I then got my first computer in the summer of 1998, learned DOS, then eventually Windows 3.1, 95, and on up.
I've had many, many, many computers and other technological devices since those days, and I have done any serious compute work in Linux, where in I am mostly referring to running servers, hosting things, and distributed compute projects.
Professionally, I am currently a systems/server administrator, backend web developer, database administrator, and infrastructure administrator.
Other interests include animals, documentaries, listening to most kinds of music, having deep intellectual conversations, and pondering the meaning of life. #Mastodon#Introduction#Ottawa#Canada#Blind#Music#Technology
I'm a hyperlexical AuDHD with cPTSD and EDS. Whew! A generation ago I just would have been Asperger's.
I'm an autodidactic polymath.
I'm some kind of online oracle, but don't know how or why. I'm probably one of those fucked-up CIA experiments from the 70s. They make movies about me.
I was raised atheist. The Matrix is religious power, albeit run by secular agency, and I was born outside it. I'm stuck in the desert of the real.
We're brand new here, so we thought we'd thought we'd share an #introduction !
Who we are: a 25-year old non-profit vet clinic in the East Bay dedicated to making high-quality surgical care accessible to all.
What we do: We never turn anyone away for lack of funds: since 2014, Animal Fix Clinic has performed more than 50,000 life-saving and life-changing spay/neuter surgeries at low or no cost.
Even though our work focuses on helping animals, it's really about helping people make good decisions for the animals they love without considering cost. We keep pets with their families where they belong.
Right now, we're working to renovate the former Contra Costa Pinole shelter into our full-time, permanent home!
Why you should follow us: We know that many of you love #catsofmastodon and #dogsofmastodon so we hope we can become friends.
We promise cute pictures and progress of construction on our new clinic.
Quick introduction now that I've moved to Mastodon Music.
Swiss-based musician - bass, guitar, key, vocals of varying competencies. Played in Sydney in the 80s, Brisbane in the 90s, Myspace in the 00s + a rogue folk-acoustic set somewhere in there, nothing at all in the 10s!, and now active again. Several solo, collaborative and band activities locally and in Australia.
Also trying to recover all my old friends after the unexpected move, so boosts appreciated.

Since I've just moved accounts, it's time for a new #introduction post!
I've been a furry for an uncomfortably long time. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for a couple of decades, but moved to the Seattle area in 2015. I'm into software engineering, vintage electronics, and coffee.
Sometimes I pretend to know what's going on, but it's all a clever ruse.
Hello everyone! Consider this an #introduction post! Not used to post pictures online, but with my growing interest of the #fediverse, I thought I might as well try #Pixelfed, so here we go!
Da ich diesen Account hier gerade von meinem alten umgezogen habe (leider ohne meine Follower mitnehmen zu können, da mein alter Account ein Adminaccount einer Single-User-Instanz war - da klappen umleitungen auf neue Accounts nicht) stelle ich mich kurz und knapp neu vor:
my name's lylani. i'm a 25-year-old artist and writer from london who recently started my own FLINTA+ focused, "if you know, you know"-modelled masterbrand called OF THE BABES.
i've joined the fediverse after recently becoming disillusioned with the innate bigotry demonstrated by algorithmic platforms, so I hope this will wet my whistle 😳
Just for completeness: I'm Cato, a fluffy lynx, I like to hack and build large displays, small electric vehicles, and whatever else is interesting. I like coding in mostly C, Python, and C#. Love hugs, cuddles, and making people happy :3
Je débarque un peu honteuse d'avoir laissé traîner pendant des années le "rejoindre Mastodon" de ma liste de tâches. Il est temps de faire mon #introduction
Ici, je vais principalement parler de climat, de gaz fossile (toujours faussement présenté comme une énergie de transition 🙄), de Total, Engie et de transition juste de l'industrie pétro-gazière —> surprise, c'est mon travail de mener des campagnes sur ces sujets pour les Amis de la Terre ;)
Et puis j'ai aussi envie de parler de militantisme soutenable, d'intersectionnalité des luttes...
Hâte de découvrir plus Mastodon et toutes les personnes à y suivre !
Please don't hold it against me but I'm a white CIS hetro male. But I'm a LGBTQ2S+ Ally, and believe in progressive, social justice politics.
I believe we need to scrap the Capitalist economic system for something that values everyone not just the elite. We need to dispell the disbelief that Democracy can only work in a capitalist society.
We also need to bring back the respect for science and intelligence, that conservatives the world over denigrate. And with that actively bring climate change under control.
Furthermore we need to listen to science when it comes to our health. Masks work! Vaccines work! And another pandemic will come and if we don't learn from our mistakes it will be far worse than COVID is.
