introduction

New year, new country, new #introduction. Having obtained my #PhD in #computationalmusicology in 🇨🇭 last year, I am now pursuing an academic career in #musicresearch in Linz 🇦🇹. Most music genres and styles have fantastic specimens but I seem to have a general preference for the extremes, be it #deathmetal, #hardtechno, or completely bonkers #ContemporaryMusic. Politically I'm a violent, radical extremist for #solidarity, #cooperation, and #HumanRights. Favourite vegetable: #hokkaido squash

Hello! We never did a proper #introduction.

We're an #OpenSource and #NonProfit #research, #design and #development organisation, based in #Cornwall in the UK. We actually care about stuff, and mostly work on #environment, #climate and #social projects.

We're all a bit #generalist, and many of our projects are rooted in rural issues, rather than being city-centric. Always open to collabs.

Most of us are on here: @nebogeo @amberfirefly @yaxu @cassandreces and @kanderson_rs

Petite re #introduction aux nouveaux et aux nouvelles :

Bienvenue à toi. Je m'appelle PapillonDeFeu en anglais :) J'ai 44 ans, je vis dans une montagne Algérie. Je m'intéresse à la traduction de projets libres et ouverts : c'est un moyen très efficace pour faire adopter les logiciels libres au plus grand nombre que ce soit pour une utilisation personnelle ou institutionnelle. Je m'intéresse également aux dispositions de claviers.

Je possède un râteau de jardin et un grain de folie.

I've been using Mastodon in a consistent way for a few months now so time for an #introduction.

A few years back I decided that the “Twitter model" of social media wasn't working for me so I tried rebooting my blogging with little success, until now. Around Oct 2025 I started daily posting at https://notes.peteashton.com/ consisting of a photo, a status update and all the interesting links I've seen online that day. It's very close to what got me hooked circa 2000 and it makes me happy. (1/2)

#introduction to you all. Sick of what was/is happening with Meta so here I am. Deeply into #music but also into #drawing #prints #comics #tattoos and oh yeah, NOT seeing my country annexed or sold to the U.S.

Hello people of Mastodon!! Sad on the circumstances of this #introduction and yet I am excited to be here and hope to make it a nice place to be.
I am a #photographer living in Puerto Rico.

Anyone interested in talking, learning, or have a specific geeky inquiry about photography, feel free to ask away. I have a wealth of knowledge that I am happy to share with you all.

Some random images of mine from work and my personal life. Hope you enjoy!

#newhere #introduction

A lot of new folks coming to the #fediverse and I need to update, so here's a new #introduction.

I work as a #video guy. An aspiring novelist looking to connect more with the #writingcommunity. My debut novel is with beta readers.

I'm a rare sports fan on #mastodon, cheering the #Packers, #DCU, #USMNT and #USWNT.

Other stuff you can expect: urbanism (#train and #bicycle in particular), #fitness (mostly weightlifting), #newmusic and #gaming (#tabletop and video).

I tend to follow back.

Hello all, my name is Jess, this is my #introduction to mastodon. I am trying to move away from other social media sites due to all the everything that's going on and hoping to make connections and whatnot. I am from California, but I live in Texas currently. I'm hoping to go home at some point before WW3 but we shall see what happens. I am currently a doctoral student in behavior analysis and it's going /okay/.

Time for my Mastodon #introduction I guess! First, to remember Mastodon only has one A in it!

Photographer friends recommended the platform, and I have been here for a few days getting a feel for the place. I am always interested in communities of photographers.

My name is Jeffrey and I am a landscape #photographer based in the #usa. I have a YouTube channel on landscape photography, lead workshops, and travel to various areas in the US.

Below are a few samples of my #landscapephotography

#introduction time!
My name is Martha. I am a Colorado based nature photographer and co-founder of Outdoor Photo Alliance. I am one who does not stick to one genre of photography. I like grand landscapes, small scenes, macro, wildlife, abstract and night photography. If there is something new to try, I’ll try it.
I believe mixing it up allows for more creativity.

Howdy to Mastodon! I'm still wrapping my head around things here but figured I'd go ahead and do an #introduction.

I'm a #landscape and #nature #photographer based out of Fort Worth, #Texas which means, aside from my local park, I do a LOT of driving for #photography, especially to #utah and the desert southwest.

I produce my own #prints for sale, create educational and in-field videos for YouTube, and also offer workshops.

Here is my #introduction because I’m #newhere.

Like so many others, I’m a refugee from Meta/X. Mastodon is giving me some hope that I might find a #community in social media. Happily married. Resident of Florida but currently on slow travel in Costa Rica. My passions are: #writing – my web site (link in profile) has info on my novels and occasional #popculture essays - #movies , #reading #fiction and #nonfiction , and #photography

I look forward to connecting with the Mastodon community!

#introduction update for my second Mastodon anniversary!

I'm a #nonbinary #transmasc #lgbtqia person in my late 30s, I live in #Finland and pretty much toot in English.

I've been with my partner for over 16 years, we run a #pinball arcade together as a hobby. We have two elderly #cats who also get shared on here on the occasion.

I play a lot of #VideoGames, especially #RPGs and post about my progress, usually with pictures or videos.

I enjoy #travel, I've been to 13 different countries so far. I also enjoy meeting people from all around the world.

I do a lot of #crafts especially when the weather is bad. I #knit, #crochet and #CrossStitch

I'm a #chef by profession, I love good #food and great #coffee. I've been working at a student cafe on a uni campus for almost 7 years.

I like #cycling and try to keep some sort of decent condition with it. We have pretty good cycling routes in my home town. Photo evidence is shared on the occasion.

If you read this far, and share interests, give me a follow 😁

New instance, new #Introduction !

My name is Jürgen, and I translate old German folk tales into English - not just tales from the Brothers Grimm, but from the hundreds of other 19th century German folklorists out there.

To date, I have translated more than 600 tales. You can learn more about my project here (and you can get a free ebook version of my first book if you subscribe to my newsletter there):

So I'm a few days late, but I found out that it's customary to write an #Introduction, and so here it is <3

Hi! I'm Liz, a #trans woman who has recently entered her 40's. I've been out and open since October, 2021, and at this point feel like a #queer elder.

I'm a Sr. (Software) Engineering Manager with almost 20 years of experience in software development. I also have a few years in there as a Senior Product Manager, but my passion definitely lies on the engineering side of things.

I've been involved in Olympic #fencing for almost 30 years in some capacity, and for the last several I have been an armorer at collegiate, (US) national, and international events.

I am here on Mastodon after deciding to leave anything Meta behind, and realizing that BlueSky isn't the safe haven that it purports to be. I hope all of the Threads and Twitter users that ended up there don't get burned, but I'm not taking my chances with that.

Things I am likely to post about: Trans and other LGBTQIA2S+ rights, software development, vintage/retro gaming and computing, Olympic fencing and my cat.

Hello mundo!

Introdução minha (lá ele!) e da instância (lá ele duplo!):

A saudade de casa me fez criar essa instância: um lugar para os baianos desse mundo. Aqui, todo mundo é baiano.

Eu sou de Vitória da Conquista, mas moro na Noruega já faz tempo. Emigrei pra estudar, e achei meu lugar no mundo. Mas a Bahia tá sempre comigo.

Gosto de correr, ler, ver séries e fazer pão.

Axé!

Here's a ceramic hedgehog, fierce defender of whatever you store inside its belly. I'm new to this community and I'm a bit like this hedgehog. Since certain social media platforms are showing their true colors, I'm backing off and trying to find a safe place to settle, to share creative stuff, knowledge and fun without generating profit for scary billionaires. This might just be that place but I have no idea how it works yet. cheers!

I have, belatedly, realised that I didn't do an introduction in this instance. I joined the Fediverse a couple of years ago, as Xhitter became rapidly more toxic, and have travelled a couple of instances before choosing to become fully Beige.
Previous usernames may not have been identical.

Generation Jones, not a conservative, and definitely anti-genocide.

I grew up during the Troubles, left NI to join the Army. Served for 15 years, then left to work in the NHS, left that to work for a medical electronics company, then back to work for the NHS again.
I've also worked as a delivery driver amongst other things.
Now my wife of 42 years has retired as well, interests are our tandem, our campervan, our 2 dogs, and local choir.

I hate what Brexit has done to the UK, I hate what the previous UK government did, and am seriously disappointed with the current replacement. I particularly abhor the stoking of hatred against minorities.
I think everyone would be better off if there were fewer people around who wish to impose their views of what would be good for other people, on those other people.

#Introduction

#introduction (updated for 2026)

I'm a writer. I write science fiction and fantasy stories. I also have a blog where I write about all the things that interest me: #money, #fitness and #exercise, the #environment, #freedom, #security, #Esperanto, #HEMA, #walking my #dog, etc.

For eleven years I was a Senior Writer at wisebread.com, writing about personal finance and frugality. Before that I worked as a software engineer for 25 years, first secure Unix then Bluetooth.
