Time for a new #introduction post.

Hiya. 👋 I'm Dreadful Sanity aka Mel, a level 47 gamer from Germany. #Videogames keep me basically from going completely crazy and therefore alive. I'm #disabled, suffering from debilitating #migraines most days of the week. I also have #ADHD which means my brain is usually going all over the place. And last but not least, there is some #BPD mixed into the mess that I am. Beware of that.

The games that I usually alternate through are...
#Warcraft
#DragonAge
#MassEffect
#Cyberpunk2077
#TheSims4
#BaldursGate3

Though every now and then I will play something new. Or different.

I think that's all. 👉 👈 😊

A fresh #Introduction post for a fresh start here:

I’ve spent most of my tech career in open source. I’ve written some good code, but I tend to find my strengths are in developing teams and leveling-up the people on them so I currently work as a VP for small startup.

I care pationately about #sustainability and humane tech, even though I often find the definitions of both elusive.

My free time is spent reading, writing and enjoying the time I have with friends and family.

#introduction

Mostly harmless.

Boring middle aged woman, white, cis, straight, married. I have 2 dogs, a husband and an adult daughter (who is currently expecting my first grandchild).

I live by the seaside. I have old lady hobbies like bird watching, gardening, jigsaw puzzles, baking and reading.

Often sweary and full of rage and snark. I have been known to have opinions.

Also have accounts at @Tattooed_mummy and @Tattooed_mummy@cupoftea.social and I channel my inner goddess at @Anoia

It's probably a good idea to do another #introduction since people change over time, ideally.

I'm haui. I help people & build things that help people. Big #foss enthusiast, #sysadmin by day and #hacktivist at night.

I think all people (and animals) are born equal and should stay that way.

I oppose #capitalism and embrace alternative systems. I dont care about #corporatedemocracy and manipulated "free speech".

I want thirst, hunger and homelessness gone, for everyone, by any means necessary.

Hello Hachyderm! 👋🏻 I’m Jason

I’m just this guy. I live with my wife and kids and a lot of animals. I enjoy physics, math, music, and coding.

For a dozen years I got to help make Stack Overflow. I love making web software fast, and now I do that at other places.

Right now I'm working on htmx-local, a small way for us to take back the power of the web https://htmx-local.glitch.me

Renewed #Introduction :
I draw #art and #manga in Tokyo.
This year, in addition to my self-published manga, I have upcoming releases as a commercial manga artist, and I am currently working on them.

I’m happy to connect with many people!
Please enjoy!

Hello again, World! An #Introduction

I'm JBQ, 50-ish, he/him, French-born, currently moving from Spokane, WA, USA to Preveza, Greece.

I have worked on operating systems, browsers, SDKs, and similar tech, mostly for mobile. Most visibly, I managed the Open-Source aspects of Android from 2009 (1.6) to 2013 (4.3).

I am currently active in the Atari ST #OpenSource #DemoScene, as Djaybee from the MegaBuSTers.

My strongest languages are C and assembly (especially 68k). I've touched many more.

An #introduction 👋 I'm Metin from the Netherlands. Starting as a 16-bit game developer (#Amiga, CD32, MS-DOS, …), I shifted to TV animation, news cartoons, magazine illustration and toy design.

My freelance glory days are over, but I still love to create, and share my work here and on @Seven

Hello! It has been a while since I posted an intro, so here goes:

My online name is Dolphin 👋
I am not important. I am not here to sell anything. I hate nazis. I am an #LGBTQIA+ / trans #ally and mom.

I will write nerdy posts that I carefully analyze and source & then post silly things.

My deep dive 🤿, serious posts are generally about 1) #business / #finance / #economics, 2) #HumanRights and 3) #privacy. I often post article screenshots.

#introduction

Time for a fresh #Introduction post. Been 18 months since the last one.

I'm Cait, late 50s, GenX, transitioned at 26 in 1992. I used to translate (not interpret) French, German, and Russian to English, for 23 years. I'm now retired due to disability (I use a cane for mobility), and my primary occupation is activism for the queer community.

I am comfortable (to a greater or lesser degree) conversing in French, German, Russian, or Spanish (in decreasing order of ability to speak well), and I can converse in basic Japanese too.

I am autistic and have ADHD, making me neurospicy to a degree that makes my white ass somewhat uncomfortable, just because of the word spicy.

I don't identify as having been an egg; my trans is more of a bulb, sending up shoots repeatedly to try and blossom, only to be cut down again and again. I always knew, as far back as I have memory, that I was a girl. I was genuinely confused why other people couldn't see it. I believe gatekeeping is fundamentally immoral, and should be resisted.

I post a lot about trans stuff, and some about political stuff. I support radical bodily autonomy, police and prison abolition, Marxist mutual aid, and anti-racism.

I do not maintain my passing privilege, so that I can be a visible trans person in my safe community, so that people know we live among them, and we're just ordinary, green-haired, tattooed, anime-loving, weed-smoking senior citizens like anyone else.

I have an abiding love for football (:soccer: ), Tottenham, music from Jamaica, and being part of the trans and autistic communities.

I live in the colonial power known in the West as Canada, on stolen land. And I have a #PrivilegeJar.

ACAB; Black Lives Matter; Trans Lives Matter; Black Trans Lives Matter!

I am also a Major in the 3rd Battalion, 10th Division of Antifa International, with command of a thousand hardy antifa superwarriors, ready to infiltrate your right-wing protest at any time.

Hi everyone. I need to write a proper announcement later on, but for now, please note that I have moved instances to @kzimmermann Please follow me there instead.

I will keep this one up as a sign pointing to the new one for now, but I will set my toots to autodelete soon. If you like something I wrote, please bookmark it.

For now note that there are several reasons for my move, which I was already planning for a few months now. More information to come

#Introduction

Hello Fedi, I'm kzimmermann, and now it's no secret that I just moved here from #Fosstodon.

Perhaps my reasons for doing so were not clear. Yes, everyone had a personal reason, but I think mine were a little different, as I had been planning this move for a few months now.

I tried to summarize them here, but ended up writing something of a novel instead. Oh well. Here it goes:

Copying my bio information:

I'm an amateur hacker who works towards the advancement free software. Advocates for privacy and user freedom. Enjoyer of casual FOSS Gameplay. Historically, a fedizen since 2015.

I have a backup blog (in tilde.town) and a Peertube channel for those who like bad FOSS gameplay.

Please boost this so people get the news of my new home!

Our motto is »#Linux #OpenSource News & #KnowHow for #Office Tasks.«

Our posts are for #solopreneurs, #trainers, #facilitators, and everybody else who tackles their office tasks using open source software under Linux.

While we appreciate #portability, we're strictly Linux-only. With respect to other operating systems: no bashing, no praise, no comparisons. We've already made our choice.

Hi! small #introduction : I am a european 🇪🇺 software developer, writing about these subjects:
- anti-fascism, inclusion, feminism🌈
- dev and IT, mostly backend (Java, CI/CD, DevOps, K8s) but also web and open source 👩‍💻
- video games, usually without stress and single-player 🎮
- nature, walks, ... 🌳
I have a strange combination of someone who likes to express her opinions, but being shy at the same time...which probably explains why I retoot a lot but don't post so much of my own toots 😅
