introductions

Hey friends, people call me waifu or wafu. I was originally in @waifu@waifuism.life but stuff happened

I'm not here to troll people or have useless debates. But to have fun and wish people a hapy day.

Related to this server, I manage it by myself, and only people very close to me can join https://mai.waifuism.life or use any of my services. ❤️

Related to me I live in Argentina 🧉 and consider myself something like a naive artist.

You may have seen some of my art before, most popular ones are the Pleroma-tan and Misskey-tan 3d models.

I don't commonly make #introductions so here's some of the stuff I do/make instead:

- Website
- Completed Projects
- Silly Videos that I make
- Pixiv
- Art Gallery
- Patreon

I'll also annex some of the stuff I make.

Commissions aren't commonly open, but they go by cheaply, below you can find my bitcoin and monero addresses if we arrange something, or if you ever thought a piece of what I make seemed cool and thought of helping me out I'd be really happy

BTC: bc1qulpvz3d57wluxy7lzw3hv5unhjnccu6xkje6ud

Looks like Tumblr is having issues and Fedi is getting another wave of new folks.

Welcome to the Fediverse, new folks!

A couple tips:

Boost freely

Try to put up for yourself an introduction post with the hashtag #introduction or #introductions or both listing stuff you're interested in

Use hashtags freely, they help folks find you and what you're posting!

Use Alt-Text in your pictures. It helps a lot!

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!

Howdy! New to this whole Mastodon thing (I'm not even sure what instance I should be on) but eager. Name's Bug — I'm a queer master's student in an entomology lab, passionate about scientific outreach.

When I’m not staring at insects, I spend my time creating zines, comics, other art, and playing D&D. I want to learn how to make video games. Let’s connect if you think little critters are cool!

Introduction, or better to say, re-introduction :-)

Well well well. I guess I should introduce myself a bit :-)

Hi, my name is Expert Plus, or at least this how do I call myself on Internet. I used to have else nicknames, but I prefer that one.

I am interested and focused on privacy. I am 3D artist as well.

I discovered Mastodon back in April 2021, but then left, because at the time I was (and still is unfortunately) a Twitter user, when it was still called Twitter, when it felt like Twitter, when was Twitter's API used to be free and not paid.

And one of the things that I always wanted is to get verified, to get that blue checkmark badge, you know? Never got it.

I wanted to verify my identity so people would know that it was me and of course - who wouldn't want this, huh? - I wanted to be and look famous.

Of course I never got that many followers on that place, and never got verified :-(

At the time, one of the things that were popular on Twitter was #100DaysOfCode and I started using it at the time to get more discovery from people (I was interested in programming at the time and quite experimented with practicing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc, but then I understood it's not my cup of coffee and left that interest)

Plus, I started using the #followback challenge (which means that if you follow some people who participates in that trend, they will follow you back) and after I found out it worked, I started crazily follow insane amount of people and got 200 followers.

Of course, at the time, it was smart Twitter's moderation and not Elon's stupid moderation, so I got my account suspended very quickly.

I then applied to their form (if you've been a Twitter user you know what am I talking about and you're indeed aware) and they unbanned me. Then I got banned 2 more times and after getting banned for 3rd time, I finally quit Twitter. Nope, I didn't switched to Mastodon instead, I weren't aware that it will soon become popular, I just quit Twitter without looking for alternatives. Could you believe that, huh?

Well, ok, back to my story. When I quit Twitter, it was April 2021. They banned my account with no reason right on my birthday, on 14 April 2021, when my parents gifted me an Alexa device, I logged in to my Twitter account on it, and then, apparently Twitter suspected it was a suspicious login, so after getting suspended for the 3rd time, I had quit Twitter because I got tired of its stupid bans of my account.

So, 1 year had passed. It's April 2022, and, as I was browsing YouTube (I recently became privacy focused at that time, but that's another story that I will tell the other time), I started hearing more and more rumors that Elon Musk is about to buy Twitter. Unlike people like you, who prefer to freak about him being idiot, I didn't knew Elon that well, although I was aware of his existence, and I - guess what? - believed that he is going to save Twitter and give it the freakin' edit button I needed for years!

Well, he bought it. I don't know if anyone of you, as Twitter users remember that, but at the time, the first thing I noticed that he had implemented was the down button which looked like this -> ⬇️

The second curious thing I noticed is the "Twitter Blue" thing. I looked it up but it didn't interested me.

Then, you know, Elon had "unbought" Twitter, getting rid of his deal, but then he re-bought it.

Anyways, my story is, that at the time I was using an amazing app - have no idea if anyone of you used it back in day - which was kizie.co due to the fact I needed a better Twitter app since 2019.

I will not share my eventual reaction to Elon's stupid changes as he implemented them, but will say this: in May 2022, as I heard rumors people were leaving Twitter for Mastodon, I re-joined Mastodon this time at mstdn.social .

Sure, I liked it, but still preferred Twitter because the main 3D community was there and Blender artists, like Gleb Alexandrov and Captain Disillusion (both are here now BTW, although CD had stopped being active on Mastodon and still prefers Twitter. He is on Threads as well) and else artists.

BTW, if you can name please, what 3D artists and 3D news can I follow on here, I would very much appreciate it, because that was the reason I liked Twitter, and that's - yes that's - what gave me the Twitter vibe that I miss on here. If you know anyone on here who posts news about 3D artists (example: 80 LEVELS on Twitter) , is a 2D animator artist, is a 3D Artist, let me know, because I damn need that much to follow people like these and would be very grateful for this, thank you in advance!

But back to my story. So, in May 2022, I joined Mastodon, and then....when Elon started banning many accounts, - mstdn.social former and current probably remember - many Mastodon servers started becoming unavailable to use, and even Elon made fun of it.

I don't remember, but somewhere around in 2023 (probably after rebranding, oh yeah, probably after that), I started becoming more active on Mastodon now, switched a few Mastodon servers, and now I'm on here.

Here are a few facts I noticed:

On Twitter, you're not allowed to have the "expert" username. That's ridiculous, because nobody can have that username on on there. Also, you can't have username more then 15 characters which isn't great right?

Mastodon has most of the issues fixed. Edit button weren't on both Mastodon and Twitter, although Elon promised he would implement it, and Mastodon implemented it first (Friendica actually implemented it first long before all of that Elon-related stuff happened), and only then Elon did.

So!

Now I'm on here, have better engagement, most but not all, of my Twitter followings has been restored on here, on Fediverse, and now what?

Well, I recently switched to this Mastodon server. I used to have 140 followers before, now since I switched, it's 117. With your help, I hope I will hit 200 followers soon.

I learned how Mastodon's engagement works, I posted a few viral posts on my previous account, and hope, will post on here as well.

Oh and BTW. Guess what? The username that I have on this server is already taken by an inactive Twitter Russian account. I tried contacting anyone who was related to it, but never got any response back :-(

Anyways, hi :-)

Hope I will be welcomed on here :-)

P.S, Actually, if anyone interested, no, I didn't removed my Twitter account yet. There are still people who are my favorite (not Elon actually, I hate him and block him) who refused to joined ANY Twitter alternatives. Are you familiar with Mutahar? Mutahar, who is known as SomeOrdinaryGamers? Well, he is one of these guys who haven't joined ANY Twitter alternatives, although, back in day, he did made a video about Mastodon's Twitter account suspension and the Twitter Migration itself.

Thank you to @sycamorefibers for encouraging me to try out Mastadon! A little about myself: I'm a mom of 2 boys in the California Bay Area who always wanted to be a professional artist. Discovered toner foiling as a pandemic art project. In the summer of 2021, I drew and foiled some of my friends' pets and shared to social media. It exploded and it snowballed into my first business! Here is my latest work: Capybara Zodiac Signs!

Sup everyone, I decided to give Mastodon a try so here I am!

I can’t lie, I love everything STEM, but I’ll learn anything and everything remotely interesting.
I’m new to the fediverse as a whole so I’m still learning all the basics, but I’m a quick learner and any and all advice is really appreciated

I’ve heard there’s pretty much only real people here rather than bots, so I look forward to that!

What should I do first?

About 6000 posts in and half or so year spent on this platform, I have decided to change my introduction to be less riddled with hastags and reflect me in a light where I’m more comfortable here :)

Well, let’s begin.

I’m Arija A., more commonly known as Ari Archer and welcome to my corner on the Fediverse where I screech autistic ramblings into your ear until I get tired :)

I am an autistic & transgender 17-year-old avid open source developer as well as a wannabe systems administrator coming from Lithuania who has spent more than half her life bossing computers around :’) currently I’m mainly focusing on the C and Python programming languages as well as some FASM Assembly here and there whereever applicable, though I don’t have much to show when it comes to extremely low level programming, I can do it when needed, but am in no way an expert. My fiery passion for technology is deeply intertwined with my values of democracy, freedom, shareability, and customization.

Personally, I enjoy solving practical problems, although, that doesn’t mean I like to be a number processing machine 24/7 like people like to think. I find those problems exhausting and extremely boring, sadly, it is currently my fate at school since the education system doesn’t have much to offer for people beyond the programme :( I tend to be very dissatisfied with governments and government stated overstructured and outdated systems such as the education and legal systems, I don’t believe that I identify with the label “anarchist” but more of “politicians need a reality check and I can’t believe that people can be this stupid sometimes” xD, of course, it’s not all bad, but sometimes it’s oof.

Most of my work centres around libraries, back-end web development, as well as software and tools. You may find most of my work at https://ari.lt/gh (a dynamic redirect to the main place where I house most of my code currently, should be https://git.ari.lt/ari unless something bad happened to ari-web infrastructure and if so then you shouldn’t be seeing this post in the first place ).

Contacts and more about me can be found on my website at https://ari.lt/

Anyway, uh, follow me for brainrot :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I have posted (and probably will continue to post for years to come) a lot here about #othernetworks - a cluster of projects that document networks before and/or outside of the internet along with artist experiments on these networks. The main project I recently finished is a catalog of about 85 of these other networks that will be published by Anthology Editions as a beautifully designed art book in spring 2025.

#othernetworks is an archival project and it's also an educational project that comes out of my belief that we are all capable both of understanding networks from the past and of building alternative networks for the future.

I also like to post about anything related to media archaeology, alternative histories of technology, alternative networks, and alternative network protocols. #introductions

Hi! I'm Clarissa (she/her)! I'm currently working on a retro-styled action RPG called "Enigma Heart."

(Think: Zelda II with a non-silent protagonist and a sapphic love story!)

➡️ NOW AVAILABLE TO WISHLIST!! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2986980/Enigma_Heart/

https://www.hadrosaurus.net/enigma-heart
https://www.patreon.com/hadrosoft

#introduction #introductions

A screenshot of "Enigma Heart." We're on the overworld map, in a green field of grass with a lake, a river, and a forest nearby. The player character, Zalia, is surrounded by small blob-shaped creatures representing encounters.

A side-scrolling action scene in "Enigma Heart." Zalia is in what appears to be a cave. Everything, including her, is in silhouette. The background is a purple-and-blue sky with lightning bolts striking all over.

Screenshot of Enigma Heart, in the village of Lydaea. Zalia is talking to a village guard. Her dialogue box reads "Thank you. I'm still getting used to things. My memory still isn't all there yet." Adorning the dialogue box is a 48x48 pixel art anime portrait of Zalia.
