introduction
Hej! Marta here, archivist and sound artist, sharing favourite findings while digitising cassettes at Föreningsarkivet Västernorrland. To begin with I wanted to put my profile picture back in its right context: a black and white photo, taken at the end of the 1800's, of a group of people - I think they're celebrating something, looking all fancy. On the lap of one of the people, a small cat is falling asleep 🐱 💤 🩶

#introduction pour compléter la bio :)
Je ne suis réellement active ici que depuis fin 2025, pour aider mon amie @naeemafamily dont je gère le compte et pour soutenir aussi les familles de Gaza Verified (https://gaza-verified.org/)
Je fais partie du collectif @fedipourgaza
Je poste principalement pour soutenir les familles palestiniennes et un peu de musique mais j'aime aussi la lecture, regarder des films, des séries & des docus (même si j'en parle jamais)
Voilà voilà 😁
Hi Everybody! This is my introduction post. If you want to know more about me: feel free to scroll through my timeline.
I just want to say: these humanist devices are terrible to operate when you have fins. So be patient with me when I make stupid writing errors...
Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.
My goal is to figure out how I can bring https://gobikecamping.com/ into the fediverse and help people who love bike touring own their data and escape the metaverse.
#NewHere #introduction
👋🏻 Hi, I’m Mark—welcome! This is my #introduction.
I’m a platform engineer pivoting from 30 years in #Perl to #Go, #Kubernetes, and #AWS. I write about systems thinking, career transitions, and production engineering at https://PhoenixTrap.com
I’m an #Objectivist—principles aren’t aspirations, they’re requirements. When reality and principle conflict, you change reality. I write about consciousness, identity, and the work of crossing the boundary between theory and practice at https://TheBeautifulPrison.com.
You’ll also see #BassGuitar, #DragonCon, #DeltaHCon, and #Comicpalooza when life permits. I self-host this Mastodon instance because decentralization matters.
For Rand newcomers, start with _The #AynRand Reader_: https://AynRand.org/novels/the-ayn-rand-reader/
Glad you’re here—pull up a chair.
So I guess it's time for an #introduction. Well, I'm a 30 something #Black #queer woman. I love to read #books. I love the #NYKnicks. I like #bicycles even though, it's not my primary mode of transportation. I like refurbishing and upgrading old electronics, specifically #iPods and #laptops. #TV and music have kept me going more than anything else. I'm branching into #Linux and getting more familiar with #FOSS. I am a #blogger and I have linked my blog in my bio.
Hello everyone, here’s my #introduction.
Proudly a geek, used to do #androiddev. Now helping to run @snappmobile and @snappautomotive
I'm currently focusing on brining back European tech sovereignty with @technology
Other things I write about:
#running #biking #triathlon #sustainability

Way back in 2022, I wrote up how I came to be on Mastodon: https://mweston.wordpress.com/2022/11/21/elon-musk-the-twitter-fiasco-and-mastodon/
Since then I have almost entirely left #CorporateSocialMedia. I do still have a Facebook account, but use it much less and deleted most of my personal data (education, work, etc.). I've never really used LinkedIn or YouTube as social media, but do still have those as well. I *have* closed my Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp accounts, and never had a TikTok account. I experimented with Threads and Bluesky, but have since closed those accounts as well.
I am now in the process of moving from being @mweston to this server, since in the current #PoliticalAtmosphere I wanted a non-US-based server. Consider this post, my bio, and my link tree to be my #introduction
I'm looking forward to getting used to my new home on the Fediverse!
Hey Punkstodon.de! Thanks for having me!
I'm a vegan dude that grew up in a hardcore punk scene in the south of Brazil. I'm a visual artist and burned out animator, trying to figure out what my next thing will be (I need to change a few things or I'll spontaneously combust). I'm also a linux and foss nerd.
Here goes a band from around these parts of the world:
(Update)
Heyo. I'm Diotima, a semi fictional (?) tiefling (part devil) girl, occultist, writer, and chaotic mess of a strange girl. I adventure, cause trouble, and pretty much do a lot of the stuffs your parents told you not to do.
Slut, bitch, delusional... yesh, I've heard them all. And tbh, I don't always disagree.
Aside from actively working to overthrow the billionaire oligarchy and fighting judeochristian religion and its evil god, I like to watch spoopy stuffs, research lost knowledge, and play amazing games like Baldur's Gate. I also enjoy travel and causing probs for terrible people.
Oh and spicy stuffs. Obvs.
I'm Pan & Demisexual, Polyamorous, heathen of a bitch. I like cats over dogs. I'm a vegetarian. And I once did sus things on the hood of a car.
...just making sure you're still reading ha ha. That story is in my blog, linked in my profile.
Anyway. Hi again and see you in the public feed!
Hello, world!
We're Wiki Workers United, a global solidarity union for the staff of the Wikimedia Foundation.
This account will share updates on our organizing effort, relevant news/info, and maybe the occasional meme. We promise to keep posting volume reasonably chill.

Well.. it's finally (after 6 months on fedi) a time for the introduction
λ./intro &
[1] 55660
Hai, i'm Luna (many such cases) o-o
I'm a chaotic dev with lots of different things under my belt. Like Rust, embedded Linux (and Linux admin in general), porting Linux\&UBoot onto embedded stuff. Even some webdev.
I'm very opinionated on a lot of stuff - for example I'm a savvy nvim enjoyer (it's my main IDE). I don't distrohop anymore so I use arch btw, but I'm looking into nix and generally would love to go back from systemd.
Thru the last 2 years I've made myself familiar with running an NGO in the land of the poles and i'm trying to pass that knowledge on. The NGO is about ham radio, but this topic is on and off for me. About that - i'm a fan of outdoor radio, QRP and I generally prefer to make my own antennas. I also do CW.
Over the years I also dipped my fingers into some gongfu tea, specialty coffee, and different artistic things like taking liminal analog pictures, a little bit of writing for social media posts and I've created two zines (one photo and one about tea).
I'm big on homelabbing and networking (we're running opnsense and have 18 vlans \& a lot of fibre at home lol). I selfhost a lot of stuff, this instance included, and someday would want to make it usable and generally useful for other people.
I'm a social person (extraverted) and I've thought about joining a coding common to make myself more useful.
ZnVjayBjb3Jwb3JhdGlvbnMK
I'm also trying to do cool stuff around the house like cooking, baking (even bread owo) and exercising my green thumb with homegrown veggies on our balcony (w/ a container garden).
I'm a fan of The Amazing Digital Circus, Vivziepop's work (in order - Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel) and misc dramas. My fave dramas are Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri \& Whiplash. I enjoy animated stuff, but I'm not really into anime that much.
There's probably gonna be a pt.2 someday :3

#introduction
Hello, Fediverse 👋
I'm Sophie. I run a digital ops consultancy from the south of France, working with values-led businesses.
I'm in the process of leaving Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. I got tired of building on platforms that sell our data, gut safety systems to please politicians, and treat people as products.
Still figuring it all out. Would love to connect.

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.
#introduction Hi!.
I'm Michael, or Fubsepude.
I'm a 30's #blind and #autistic person from Denmark.
My interests include:
#accessibility #music #tech and connecting with folks.
Hello everyone 👋
This is the official account of the Green Office of the University of Groningen.

Hi! Time for an updated #introduction!
I'm Matteo — a geriatrician and researcher.
Professor of Geriatrics (on leave) at the University of Milan, now at WHO working on healthy #ageing and care for older people.
My research focuses on #Frailty and #IntrinsicCapacity, and on preventing the disabling cascade.
Working in #Geriatrics, #PublicHealth, or #aging research? Say "Hi!" and let me know what are you working on👇
Daje #ASRoma fino a quando non ci portano via!
Psst, do you need some cool music to listen to?
Dig if you will The List of over 1001 albums from 115+ places/peoples, as recommended by 130+ Fedizens (https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/)! Think "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", but, like, NOT just Western pop. We chose these albums not because of popularity or sales or reviews by influencers and whatnot, but rather because they’re important to us personally and/or represent bands/genres/peoples not given enough love in 'official' lists.
For the last 2+ years, we've featured an album from The List every few days on the 1001 Other Albums blog (https://1001otheralbums.com/). These spotlights are written by either guest Fedizen contributors or project steward @buffyleigh, and are automatically cross-posted in full to the Fediverse at
@1001otheralbums.com. New spotlights are also summarized and linked here on linernotes.club.
The plan is to eventually cover every album on The List, and so far we’ve featured over 230 albums! Sometimes we also do some extra fun things like Fedi-wide AOTY lists, fake festivals, and Fedi-sourced oral history posts, and every once in a while we boost other cool music-related things. Give us a follow here and/or the blog, I bet you'll hear something you dig.
👉 And, if you want to share your thoughts on one of the albums not yet featured via guest post, OR want to add your favourite albums that aren't yet on The List, hmu! 👈

G'day,
I'm Kev. I'm over 60, retired ex military and I take photos. I'm a long time Linux user.
I got kicked off of Meta products because I refuse to upload a video selfie to prove I'm over 16 years old. 🤔
Tried Bluesky, but's it full of people trying to build their follower count. I prefer the Fediverse.
I swear occasionally, post Australian landscape photos and probably some garbage. (You have been warned)
It's nice to be here.
Time to refresh my #introduction
I’ve relocated to Manhattan, KS, home of my alma mater, Kansas State University. #EMAW 
I’m hoping to open a pool hall downtown in 2027. Here’s my vision:
#Introduction 📣 V2
Hi! I'm Ivan.
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.
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! ✨
A quick #ReIntroduction! 👋 I’m Steven.
By day: Practicing #ChineseMedicine & #Acupuncture for 30+ years in Edina, specializing in the #BalanceMethod & #EmotionalWellness.
By night: Optimizing web architecture with #WordPress & #LocalSEO.
To balance it all out, I play the #Saxophone! 🎷
Always happy to connect with fellow health pros, digital marketers, and musicians.
I thought I needed a better introduction.
Hi folks! I'm Tracy. I'm a podcaster and part-time caregiver to my parents. I have a blind dog, a deaf dog, and a cat with diabetes. I'm married to Dave, a very patient man who does all the cooking and union work.
I'm interested in driving and the history of everything. I watch hockey, F1, and the WRC. I'd love to do a ton of travelling but I'm deathly afraid of flying. I can't cook to save my life, and I'm really bad at character limi
