#Introduction
Je suis chimiste, scientifique et passionné de #poésie, car elle est issue de la nature. Je pratique la #céramique, qui allie science, technologie et poésie.
Mes publications sur ce sujet sont également publiées ici : https://pixelfed.ch/VladimirN

Retraité, je me suis donné pour mission essentielle de profiter au maximum de la dernière ligne droite qui mène à mon ultime étape. Cela implique de mieux prendre soin de moi pour pouvoir aider les autres.
Quels autres ? Tous les autres : l’Autre.

Comment prendre soin de moi ? Je lis et j’apprécie, je vois et j’imite, je réfléchis et je travaille. Je mets tout en œuvre pour le bien de mes semblables.

Boa noite. Meu nome é Romário e eu gosto de computadores. Sou programador profissional e aspirante a pesquisador em linguagens de programação, então estou aqui pra postar minhas coisas de pesquisa, coisas que eu acho interessante e seguir gente da mesma área que eu (profissionais e acadêmicos) ou gente que eu ache legal e interessante de forma geral.

Conheço o fediverso já há quase 15 anos (alguém lembra do StatusNet?), mas fiquei um tempo fora e estou voltando.

hello all!

a lil #introduction post as i’m brand new to mastodon but incredibly intrigued by what i’ve seen while exploring so far :)

i’m danny (they/them), a #nonbinary artist and #insect enthusiast who draws a lot of #nature, especially bugs and mushrooms!! i also take a lot of #photography of nature, and bother people for the identification (i’m a life long learner and knowledge is tasty)!

i’m also working on a #graphicnovel (very early stages) that has a lot to do with the #environment, connecting with community and nature and what it means to belong to a place (also being #queer naturally) :3

some of my other interests include, #gardening, #solarpunk, #sustainability, #crochet, #reading, and #diy!!

i’m looking forward to meeting people!

I suppose an introduction is in order. Better make one before I forget...

I'm Ferrus, your local queer goat! 🐐

I'm a #pansexual, #agender, and #aromantic of the #autistic #furry variety! My presentation is primarily feminine, though I incorporate some masculine or neutral pieces when the mood strikes me.

I was born and raised in #newzealand, though you wouldn't know that from my accent, a weird american-british-kiwi hybrid.

My Hobbies/Special Interests include but are not limited to: #linux, #anime, #vidogames, #tabletop, #books, #movies, #tv, #space, #fantasy, #sciencefiction, #oldtechnology, #lego, and #sustainablefashion

My favourite pieces of media are: #Warhammer40K, #TheExpanse, #StarTrek, #StarBlazers, #Tensura, #DungeonsAndDragons, #Pathfinder, #WorldofDarkness, #Stargate, and the #nasuverse

I may occasionally toot about these

Currently looking for education in some kind of Systems Administration Role, and run #NixOS on a daily basis. I also build my own machines.

My toots and boosts may occasionally be #NSFW. DNI with these unless you are of legal age.

Feel free to DM me, unless you're a #troll, #bigot, or anything else of the sort.

Offenders will find themselves fed to an Elder Wyrm (the mute/block button)

because I've moved from mastodon instances, I feel it's fitting to make a new #Introduction post

hello! I'm Anubi, also known as AnubiArts, and I do quite the amount of low-spec arts, like Pixel Art, Low Poly and Textmode! Right now I'm focusing on #PixelArt though

you can expect silly arts, and even more silly text posts around here

hope you enjoy your stay!

ec; introduction, CWs, boundaries

hi! we are elilla& the federated glamtifa influencer~

I'm a middle-aged Latina immigrant in Germany, a transgender mother, and an anarchist. In this feed I do daily life microblogging; and I talk about my interests and obsessions, including linguistics, Japanese studies, weightlifting, martial arts, BDSM, wild gardening, insects, handicrafts, punching nazis, and kissing girls.

Content notices:
- I talk explicitly and positively about transition, hypersexuality, violence, insurrection, my cock, crime, and other such girl things.
- I do not CW: photos of insects; abstract discussions of sex; my shibari ropes, when not being used for kink; crass, vulgar sexual humour.
- Sometimes I post or boost nudes, porn, or kink experiences. These are always CW'd.
- I do not like Marxism and do not trust so-called "communist" parties. Everyone with a police force is my enemy.
- I'm addicted to Mastodon and tend to post lots of long toots.
- Most toots are autodeleted for safety reasons.

My boundaries:
- I will only accept a follow request if your profile makes it clear that you're not pro-capitalism, Zionist, a tankie, a terf, a channer etc.
- Do not @ me photos or descriptions of animal food or other products of animal murder or exploitation. This includes prejudice against insects.
- Anyone posting photos of animal products on my TL without a CW will be muted.

I love #Mastodon so much. Last night I posted an #introduction on a whim, just to say hello.

I expected to be ignored just like I have been so many times on #twitter (refuse to call the #birdsite "X", ugh).

I woke up to numerous #boost notifications and new followers. Wow.

A place to actually connect.

How wonderful.

Happy to meet you all, I am Jessa!

#introduction

Uhm hai, I've never been on a site like this before so I'm not quite sure how this'll format or what this will look like but-

Uh, I'm Veloalopus, I'm a mid twenty-year old male, I'm basically coming here to escape from other social media, I like video games, streaming, art, writing and reading. I love cats and bunnies, my favorite colors are pink and purple.

Uhm, I also speedrun video games and I'm a pretty huge Hyperdimension Neptunia nut, I'm pretty awkward at first but I hope I can make some friends eventually.

Nice to meet you all. ^^ (I really am not good with these kinds of things huh...xD...)

Hi everyone!

This is my #introduction (or #Introductions) post for the aus.social mastodon, as recommended by @aussocialadmin.

I'm new to this server and to #mastodon in general, so I'm still getting used to best practices.

Professionally, I'm a senior software engineer and absolutely love #programming.

I have over 10 years of professional experience, and in general, if I see a screenshot or graphic mockup of it, I can build it.

My GitHub can be found at https://github.com/f3rno64

If you have any technical questions or need some coding done, message me!

Overall, I'm usually either working on some new personal #OpenSource project, studying some newly-released technology, or playing video games 🙂📺

I work from home, so my days are a bit bland. I want to connect with like-minded people here on #mastodon and hopefully make new friends with similar interests, as they are hard to find around here (I'm from #bucharest, #romania).

If you ever want to chat, reach out! 🚀

And if you read this far, cheers to you 🍻

Have a great day!

Hi. This blog mostly features my adorable cats, Joey and Sheena. Thank you for occasionally indulging me when I post non-feline things.

I just published my novel, Water Dogs. It's the best book about midwestern teens from the 1970s discovering punk rock and saving the universe that I've ever written. Please buy lots of copies from Barnes & Noble (or Amazon).

#introduction

Hiya everyone! I'm Noo, an Australian #indiecomics author, artist, and a refugee from #tumblr after they pulled a Deviantart!

I'll primarily be posting my #art and #writing stuff, plus the occasional shitpost.

Glad to be here, big fan of open-source, decentralised stuff, Linux and not having algorithmic content shoved down your gob.

Can't wait to meet some fellow indie comics peeps too!

~$ echo "Hello World"
Hi Fediverse, I'm a small humble new programmer who happens to stumble upon the Fedi world. I like a fresh cup of tea to sip every morning, and a small music piece to listen to every night. Would love talking to some people, and secretly following them. o/

Another giant introduction

Hi everyone! I don't know what happened to my pinned introduction, so here is a somewhat new one.

I've been here in the Fedi since 2017. You can listen to an interview at the link below.

I'm a blind and gay writer. I keep a blog. I call it my soul on the internet because you won’t get the same thing every time. I write huge rants. I write short narrative stories about eating ice cream like it's the first time I'm having an orgasm. I write lyrical musings about crying in the shower. I pen essays about battling with a smart fridge. You'll never get just one thing with me and my website.

As for fiction, I write M/M Romance featuring blind and or disabled people, because disabled people deserve happy endings too. My romances generally always have a HEA instead of an HFN. I'm not the best with series. I also tend to enjoy doing novellas rather than full length novels, but I do novels as well. It's just that novellas are my comfort zone.

My Romances are quite angsty. They ask a lot of questions of the reader, and they feature things I'm extremely proud of, like in my young adult Romances I feature things like supportive gay dads to a teenager. I don't shy away from potentially triggering subjects because it mirrors my own life.

That being said, if you don't like angsty Romances, I'm probably not your author but I also pen happy Romances too, like one I just finished where a Chef that's lost his sense of taste falls in love with a Blind taste tester because of a job he put out onto the internet. I love exploring dynamics such as that in a very slow, character centric, way.

My blog/website has everything about me. It's the best way to get inside of my head. I don't use video based spaces often because I'm blind so video spaces really don't interest me.

My blog is also a podcast for folks that prefer listening to reading.

I listen to podcasts religiously, especially fiction podcasts. Podcast audiobooks. Fiction audio dramas. All kinds of fiction podcasts.

I'm an audiobook reader.

I love reading character driven stories.

Some additional things that bring me profound joy.

Boy bands. Anime. Video games. Nerd media. Cookies. Video game music. Chocolate. Ice cream. Cats. Listening to audio only let’s Plays via podcasts. Cookies. Yes, I said it twice! That's how much I love them!

I rarely wear clothes that match. I wear things for comfort. Fabrics that feel good to me.

I take extensive social media breaks, especially in the summer/fall time because that's when I'm doing events, hanging out with offline people, and terrorizing my local town.

I'm huge into local activism and local change because I believe that all local progress, especially on a mass scale, will cause national politics to buck up and maybe actually do things for its voter base.

I'm a tech geek that hates everything tech culture. I also hate everything hustle culture. Influencer culture. Bletch.

As for links, the only two links of mine you'll need are below but I also included an interview link.

My podcast, https://weirdwritings.pinecast.co/

My website. https://sightlessscribbles.com/

Je suis autiste. Diagnostiqué (trop) tard, j'essaye de prendre ma revanche en propageant de la vulgarisation où en apportant mon aide comme je le peux à celles et ceux qui sont concernées dans la limite de mon handicap et de l'énergie que les contraintes de la vie me laisse.

Je suis impliqué dans le collectif entraide autisme 44 qui organise un café-rencontre en non-mixité où j'essaye de participer à en faire un lieu d'accueil et de soutien qui permet à celles et ceux qui en ont besoin de rompre leur isolement. Je me suis souvent senti seul dans la vie et ai parfois été mis à l'écart et je ne veux plus que d'autres dans ma situation vivent cette détresse.

#introduction Bonjour, I'm Marc (a.k.a. "T0K_"), a #phd student working on #privacy -preserving technologies. Outside the lab, I spend my time playing #videogames and losing #ctf challenges.

With this account, I'll promote some of my academic work . I might also engage in stupid and vibrant debates about random geeky stuffs .

I'm not entirely sure yet what I'll do with this Mastodon account, so I don't exclude the possibility of some cat pics or even some shitposting

The Ten Helpful Suggestions Of John Mastodon

1: Fill out your profile. It doesn’t have to include personal information, but it should give some indication about your vibe.

2: Pin an Introduction toot and use the #Introduction hashtag. Include some of your interests so like-minded people can find you.

3: Use hashtags. Hashtags not only make your toots more findable, but it also allows others to filter out toots on subjects that they would prefer to avoid. Use camelCase or PascalCase in hashtags. This will make it more readable for sighted users, and also help users that use screen readers. You can also follow a hashtag. Try following #Audrey.

4: Add AltText to your images. There are many blind Mastodon users. Providing AltText to your images makes them accessible, but also gives you an opportunity to give additional context. AltText is very important to much of the community, so much so that some will refuse to boost/share an image without it.

5: Use content warnings (CW) liberally, and combine with hashtags in the toot body. While a CW will hide the content, an accompanying hashtag will allow people to filter out that content entirely. For instance, a NSFW post should have NSFW in the content warning as well as a #NSFW hashtag in the body, because hashtags don’t work in the CW.

6: Follow liberally. Mastodon provides plenty of ways to curate your timeline, but first you need to follow people. Remember, if you decide that someone you followed posts content that isn’t for you, you can unfollow them, or set filters to hide the posts you don’t want to see. Try following @dgar now!

7: Support your instance. Toss a coin to your admin and moderators for all the work they do.

8: Be respectful. Polite and respectful discussion of supremely sensitive topics take place every day on Mastodon. There is no place for bigotry here. Trolls and bad actors are usually dealt with swiftly.

9: Be mindful of your privacy and security. Do not post sensitive or personally identifying information about yourself or anyone else, even in a DM or PM.

10: Participate! Boost posts you like. Boosting is how toots spread on Mastodon, so boost liberally. It makes you an active participant in what content is seen. You may see people say “You are the algorithm”.
Bookmark interesting stuff for later. Have fun! Meet interesting people! Listen to new music! Get involved in interesting discussions!
Share memes and toot bad jokes! Share your knowledge, stories, and art! Connect with people and make the world a better place!
