Hello from my new #Mastadon account. I deleted #Facebook, #Pinterest, #Instagram & #BlueSky. I hope this forum is not so American-centric. Here's to #gardening #nature #flowers and #maincoons !
#Introduction
Ummmm hi! I’ve been on fedi since 2022 and have never done an introduction. How hard can it be?
I’m Lorraine, the family calls me RaeRae. I am #Mama to a grown son ~ my reason for breathing. I live with a precocious #parrot named Sherbert 🦜 who you’ll see a lot of. Sorry. If it makes me happy, I'm gonna boost it. Also sorry.
I’ve been officially #disabled for 12 years with a plethora of issues that’ll come out eventually. My best defense to adverse health is #exercise and I’m obsessed.
I am a lifelong #Democrat and recovering Catholic who hates bigots, bullies, hypocrites, liars and fakers. LGBTQIA+ 
#ally, music lover: rock, metal, alternative, grunge and some pop. All animals, especially birds. Big streamer, book lover (Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, Anne Rice, James Patterson, Dean Koontz).
I am NOT looking for love or companionship ~ do NOT DM me with that in mind.
That's all I got. (Look at all this space! Holy shit!)
Kindness is my mission in life.
P. S. I swear. A lot.
Hello world,
my name is Hardy, software developer and consultant working in systems integration and web development. Small business owner.
Fascinated by languages as a means of expression for programming computers and for talking to humans - challenging at times, but so much fun, too. Like #art and #music, which have been with me all my life (I'm old enough to have witnessed Miles Davis perform).
Fueled by green tea and lots of curiosity. Thanks for having me here.
Hola. Soy J.R. Cruciani.
Tomo fotos de muchas cosas pero especialmente de umbrales.
Escribo en mi blog sobre lo que pasa, lo que queda y lo que se pierde: tecnología, cultura, ciudades, viajes, lecturas, memoria, IA, web abierta.
Me gustan las redes cuando todavía parecen una conversación entre amigos y no entre algoritmos.
Si andas por aquí y te gustan estos temas, probablemente nos leamos.

#introduction
Somehow I don't think I've ever done one of these despite being around so long?
I work in a public library makerspace building Vorons and whatnot. I love exploring the Fediverse, especially figuring out how the different platforms can interact. Weird stuff like "Can I post to a Lemmy foraging community from Loops?", etc. I love growing edible plants native to the Northeast U.S.A., and figuring out (vegetarian) dishes that could've been made in the Eastern Agricultural Complex 7000 years ago. I try to stick to open source hardware and software wherever possible. I can read and write in ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 for some reason. I love textiles, specifically all the unique ways that threads can be linked together to produce different structures. Knitting is great, but there's also sprang and nålbinding and ply-split braiding! I love indie fighting games, especially Battle Craze!! What else... I like fermenting stuff, EndeavourOS, foraging invasives, anarchism, long walks, GrapheneOS, reading, ergomech keyboards, trackballs, and being nice to strangers on the internet.

Dear Fedi friends,
It may be time for a re-introduction: I'm Elena, an Italian creative (writer, photographer, filmmaker) living in Paris, France.
You may have initially gotten to know me for my advocacy for the Fediverse (like my Fedi intro video: https://blog.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/ or my blog or my Fediverse stock photo). So, you may have been a bit confused lately, over all my critical posts about the new network W Social. Why do I keep bringing it up?
I believe that W Social - and its required, companion app W Identity - are an existential threat to the Fediverse. So I'm fighting tooth and nail to oppose and resist them.
Why? The European Commission has enthusiastically embraced this new hard fork of Bluesky that requires age verification. Even Ursula von der Leyen advertised the launch of W Social in between G7 meetings last week.
I have MOUNTAINS of evidence of poor planning, extremely lax security, use of U.S. Big Tech platforms for something that purports to be "based in Europe, for the world."
Why is it a threat for the Fediverse? The only way to make sense of the European Commission's embrace of this platform is that maybe it sees it as a trial run for MANDATORY age verification for social media across the European Union.
No Fediverse app has infrastructure in place to comply. And if a mandate is introduced, it would spell the end of the open social web and internet anonymity... like Chat Control, but basically killing the Fediverse.
I find it EXTREMELY disturbing to see the enthusiastic embrace of W Social by the European Commission. It took them YEARS to change their website footer and add Mastodon and Bluesky instead of X. In the span of 5 weeks, they replaced the Bluesky logo (a butterfly) with the "W" from W Social.
All my posts about W Social from last week went viral. My articles have been quoted in articles in French, Dutch and German news sites (https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/w-social/).
I have held back from sharing more evidence I found because I don't want to appear like a bully who promotes pile-ons. I'm a nice, sweet person, I promise! I take ZERO pleasure in writing about W Social, but I have unwittingly become an expert on them - after researching them for 5 months. So here I am.
I will keep investigating them. If you don't want to hear about this topic anymore - I would understand - you can mute the hashtags #Wsocial and #DubyaSocial (that's a pretty apt way to describe them IMHO).
Peace out.
Looking for mutuals here. Hope this will be seen by others.

#Introduction
Kia ora! I’m Matt - husband, dad to two (mostly) grown-up humans, and based in a small island nation tucked away in the South Pacific. #Aotearoa
I’m in the Fediverse because I believe in an open Internet that connects and grows communities of people, free from the commercial imperatives and perverse incentives of BigTech.
I’ve been a techno-geek for as long as I can remember, and blog about my journeys with tech at https://mattjhayes.com. I also gravitate to maker projects that give me an excuse to buy more #RaspberryPi
I mostly post about tech stuff, but content may also include photos of my dog being a doof, or some nice scenery that has caught my eye.
Other interests include hiking 🥾 (in my country we call this #tramping), travel, skiing, photography and mountain biking.
Here’s a long-overdue #introduction post! I’m Adam, and I’ve been building things on the web for about as long as there’s been a web. I run Neatnik LLC, omg.lol, and some other stuff. I have three goals for everything that I create: make it fun, make it inclusive, and keep the jerks away. I was born and raised in upstate New York, but Louisville, Kentucky has been home for over 30 years now. I love playing Famicom games and I collect Pokémon cards. I use PHP. I don’t use AI. Let’s be friends!
Hello, world!

Hi! 👋
I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography. Music‑wise I bend towards #EDM, while photography stretches from drone/aerial shots to architecture and everyday stills.
A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, and owning your own space online, powered by #FOSS and #Linux.
I self-host my own corner of the internet via YunoHost.
It's part of my commitment to decentralization and taking control of my digital footprint.
When I'm not crafting electronic noise or framing pixels, I'm reading terms and conditions of whatever just to feel something. 😁
Also, I get paid to talk. Not paid a lot, mind you—I just talk a lot.
Feel free to connect! ✨
Hey Fediverse! After leaving Instagram behind, I'm making this my new home. Time for a proper #introduction. #neuhier
I'm Fabian, a graphic designer and artist from Leipzig, Germany. I'll be sharing projects like books, prints, a board game system I'm tinkering with, and some journal entries from my archive.
I also speak German and a bit of Korean, but will mostly post in English.
Glad to be here! :)

#introduction As a child, I drew every day, but school made me focus on what I did wrong instead of what I did well. I lost touch with myself and stopped drawing for many years. Then, at 45, something clicked and I picked it up again. Now drawing is one of the things I enjoy most. I do it as a hobby, while I work as a Linux administrator. On this channel, I share my drawings to inspire anyone who thinks, “I want to draw, but I can’t.”
PlusBrother is a creative writing project born from 2 friends' fantasy: Elena and Alex, nicknamed Elettrona and Gifter. HIV negative her, HIV positive him.
Our fiction world reverses stigma: in our setting, opposite from real world, ordinary condition is positive HIV test while HIV negative people experience social and public life marginalization; out of stereotypical narration, we literally want to give stigma back to those who cause it. Irony and satire are powerful if well used. #introduction
Time to refresh my #introduction as it's been a while since the first one!
See profile for some basics. These days I'm unemployed but gardening a bit, recovering from 37 years of industrial burnout, and surviving 6-7 years of bladder cancer.
Meeting that with all the wisdom I can find on #anatta, #nonduality, #nonself, #dzogchen, #bodhicitta, #bodhisattva, #buddhism :)
Used to be an #electronics #design #engineer and loved it.
We're better off together. Question those who would divide us.
It's once again time for a new #introduction
Hi! I'm Crabbypup, or just 'crabby', though only in name.
I'm in Kitchener-Waterloo, and I'm a linux-flavoured computer toucher.
I share stuff about the region, Open source software in general and #linux in specific.
I like to tinker in my #homelab, where I run #proxmox, #ceph, and a bunch of other #selfhosted services including #homeassistant.
I'm a rather inconsistent poster, and a prolific booster, but I'm glad to be here.
Describe myself? Why? Who I believe I am is irrelevant to who you’re going to believe me to be.
I can tell you that, as a straight man, I support women’s rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and trans rights. I can tell you that, as a multi-racial, multi-ethnic individual, I believe Asian lives matter, Black lives matter, and that your life matters too. I can tell you that I oppose genocide and believe in a free and independent Israel, Palestine, and Gaza, and that everyone has the right to exist. I can also tell you that I believe in one Taiwan and one China, both as their own independent and free nations.
But you know what I can’t do? Grow a silver tongue and convince you better than the trolls who presume they know everything. So believe whatever you wish. I am me regardless of anyone else.

What mental health means to me.
Mental health became a major topic in my life when I was seven years old and the police put my dad in a psych ward because they found him in a trainyard and thought he was about to off himself
And even then, my understanding of the topic was limited. My dad definitely went through a long series of mental health crises, but he was blatantly struggling to function
And I find it rare that media captures how therapy is supposed to function
