I feel like I have to do an #introduction post after 3 years on this instance.
I'm sans serif girl - even if, at 40, I'm not a girl anymore (actually I'm not exactly a girl at all 'cause my gender is neutral, but you know force of habit; also in Italian we don't have a neutral equivalent and I'm not very fond of overextended [? I don't even know if this word exists] masculine) but I'm quite attached to this nickname - a neutral person, my pronouns are she/they, I'm #ace, #biromantic, #autistic and #deaf in my left ear.
I'm boring even if I laugh over the stupidest things and on a scale of 1 to 10 my mood is always an honest 5. Like Fiona Apple's meme in my pinned posts I don't like to go out (if it entails socializing and meeting people) except for walking my #dog (I have an old female dog that I love very much) and exploring the #countryside and river banks.
All my interests are things that I can do on my own like #reading, #writing, #MusicListening, watching #OldMovies, going on walks, taking nature #pictures. I told you: boring!
My best friends live far away from me and I'm obviously sad about it, but not so sad as a normal person would be because I don't despise my time alone, on the contrary I quite like it as it allows me to recharge from everyday stressing things like noises, traffic, work, and of course PEOPLE.
When I had my full earing I used to play the bass guitar and ukulele (and a bit of violin) but I quit because with only one ear left I find it quite difficult and a little bit painful. I also loved going to concerts but I can't anymore.
So most of my free time slots now are taken up by reading #manga #manhwa and #manhua, like I used to when I was in my twenties. One has to do something to entertain theirselves, no?
I'm also quite interested in #astrology and #tarots, that I use as a way to better understand myself.
I believe in #accessibility and that's why I'll always demand an alt text on your pictures and won't boost pictures without it.
I don't do immediate follow back because 1. I want to know who is following me 2. even when, after some time, I think someone is ok I almost always forget to reciprocate.
But you know: bad friend 🤝 bad mastodon user.
I've clearly forgotten something fundamental* but I'll blame the time and my age.
*Here we go! The first thing I’d forgotten is that, as one of my dearest friends always tells me, my love language is "a meme for every occasion". There’s a meme for everything, I’m sure I’ve got one in my endless archive and I'm going to post it. The second thing is that, unlike many people, I like voice messages a lot, even the longest ones. But I don't like podcasts for the record, nor audiobooks. The third thing is that, despite having read so much theory, I can’t bring myself to call me a #feminist. When I think of feminists, the image that springs to mind is about people who manage to put theory into practice, activists who take up spaces. I can’t do that – for various reasons I won’t delve into here – and so I don’t think it’s right for me to claim the label for myself. However, I have great respect for the comrades who carry out feminist practices into everyday lives.
And now for some faves:
- writers: #DaphneDuMaurier #DianaWynneJones #UrsulaKLeGuin #ShirleyJackson #JRRTolkien #NnediOkorafor
- musicians: I've always listened to a lot of kinds of music but if I must choose my all time fave is #JoannaNewsom
- movies: almost all where #CaryGrant starred, plus #ColdComfortFarm #Smultronstället and #NoisesOff
- tv series: #TwinPeaks #VeronicaMars #MontyPythonsFlyingCircus and #MurderSheWrote
- animals: #dogs #goats #donkeys

#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.
#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.
Hi, I’m Alex / Mugentoki.
Here to find people with similar brainrot: anime, manga, sci-fi, programming, games, worldbuilding, and the very bad habit of starting "just one more side project".
I’m a web dev, but slowly trying to move toward game development.
Big fan of Gintama, so expect some chaos, nonsense, unfinished ideas, and posts that probably sounded smarter in my head than they actually are
'd love to connect with similar disasters.
#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.
i'm Luna, a transfem catgirl (shocker). i really like programming (working on an interpreter rn :3), and i am looking to share some writing of mine as well
i got a cool website if you want to check out my projects as well
introductions are hard...
#introduction
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!

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! ✨
Heya 👋🏼 I am a media psychologist and manager of a synthesizer making company. Consulting on effect research of games and game-based-learning. I do game building and solarpunk positive futuring workshops. Also a singer with Emergency Jazz and noedels!
Will toot on play, climate, art, everything gezellig and things I am working on.
#introduction
A new intro post, as I'm in a new chapter.
I'm Monzz, she/her. I've lived all around but I'm based in the #UK now.
By day, I work in computer science #education. After hours, I'm a massive #gamer (ask me what I'm playing at the moment), I'm a #scifi / #fantasy #worldbuilding nerd and I do a bit of #writing.
I love my #houseplants and #gadgets.
I like #roleplaying, storytelling, gamification and imaginary worlds. I was raised by the internet in the mid 2000's and would like to rebuild some community links here.
esoteric #introduction:
My scholarly interests began, near half a century ago, with the question of how the human animal came to invest its tools with language, first gestural and subsequently textual, so to tell those tools what to do, in the manner of Der Zauberlehrling.
Relatedly, how said animal, and co-domesticates with same, rely on what amounts to a pareidolia for the agentic: a phenomenological agency detection device, if one will (the taint of Chomsky notwithstanding), biased in favor of false positives, that incidentally prove generatively reproductive of social order: through a mechanism myself came to refer to as "social chunking".
More contemporaneously, informed by discourses in neurodiversity, my attention has turned to social theory, which is to say critical theory, concerned especially with the question of how vernacular jargon, anchored in the indelibility, thus canonicity, of media, serves to bound sociotechnical imaginaries.

New instance, new #Introduction.
My background is in astrophysics. I worked in science policy in DC for about a decade: for my professional society, as a congressional fellow, and then at the Department of Energy Office of Science.
I changed careers to #DataScience in 2019 and now work in the private sector.
Blog posts, python projects, etc are all on my website: https://marcoshuerta.com/

Hi! My name is Kuro
I like making all kinds of things from traditional art to digital art, 2d to 3d, animals and humans! 😁
As such, don't expect a lot of the same thing from me as I like to play around with my art 😅
#introduction step four
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
📌 💗 Hi! Happy to finally get around to set my profile here. 🫶
You can call me Eden Caruso, whichever name you prefer. He/they pronouns for english, él/ellu/elle for spanish (again, no particular preference).
I'm an artist, for the most part. I don't post very often, but I'm almost always doing something art related. My hobbies are reading, baking, cooking, yoga, taking walks with my dog, writing, and listening to music.

Keep in mind, my art is not for minors, it may depict nudity and taboo subjects (self-harm, kink, gore, mental and physical illness, bigotry, systemic oppression, to name a few). I add appropiate trigger warnings to the best of my ability, but just keep it mind.
Oh, and I'm proship and profic. Not labels I take too much to heart or that define my character; they're simply descriptive.

✰.ᐟ Original art, fanart, life-model practices.
✰.ᐟ Mutual aid posts for my friends who need so.

Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk. I also got Telegram or Discord. Just keep in mind I may take a while to get to your message, especially if I'm dealing with pain.
I'll add images of my art here later.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy your stay!
hi everyone!!
i'm nádia, a brazilian who grew up in big cities, but found herself much happier in rural contexts..
i graduated as a power systems engineer, and since that, i have been exploring all sorts of farming hacks, specially those related to agroforestries and permaculture.
now, i spend my days building FOSS for agroecology with Tekoporã 🌱 , and assisting human rights activists with their digital needs alongside the Transfeminist Network for Digital Care 👾 .
mixing all this with some poetry, meliponini bees and some latinoamerican culture, one might get close to my composition ;P
