#introduction Hi! We're a plural system in our 20s. They/them pronouns 🏳️⚧️
We would like to make friends: Seattle area (looking to move there), disability community, Covid cautious community
We are interested in these topics: science fiction/fantasy (audio)books, exercise, low income/disability resources, mending/repair, mutual aid, silliness and positivity, beginner coding
We need to be able to filter many keywords, and topics including: politics, abuse, arguments
2/4 obligatory #introduction: Music dork. Played in bands through my teens and 30s, still go to shows a few times a month, and host a weekly radio show on Ohio music history called Six Degrees of Ohio.
3/4 obligatory #introduction: Also deep in amateur radio (KB8QPT) — QRP, CW, digital modes on HF, and lately poking at Meshtastic. Built an Elecraft K1 and K2 over the years.
1/4 obligatory #introduction: Senior software engineer (still love it after all these years) in Ashland, OH. Installed Linux from 14 floppies and never looked back. These days it's macOS/Elixir/Phoenix, and lately most of my "notes" live in Obsidian — it's basically become its own hobby.
hello! i'm vonnie, an #artist + #illustrator from the netherlands and this is my first post on mastodon art! 🌈 i love making art and illustrations! i also sell colourful prints, stationery, stickers and other fun things! #introduction #newhere
Explorer at heart, traveler by choice. My passion lies in motion—from classic railway routes and ocean voyages to discovering hidden corners of new cities. I’m always plotting the next journey, eager to experience new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives along the way. #Introduction
#Introduction 📣 V3
Hi! 👋
I'm a #music producer with a strong passion for #photography. Music-wise I lean toward #EDM, while photography ranges from aerial to architecture and everyday stills.
A big believer in #privacy, digital independence, and owning your own space online, powered by #FOSS.
When I'm not crafting electronic noise or framing pixels, I’m reading terms and conditions just to feel something. 😁
Also, I get paid to talk. Not much—I just talk a lot.
Feel free to connect! ✨
Common Weal is a people-powered, non-party-aligned, pro-independence "think and do" tank in Scotland.
Some of our biggest issues are social and economic equality, participative democracy, environmental sustainability, wellbeing, quality of life, peace, justice and cooperation.
Our motto #AllOfUsFirst reflects that our society is only as resilient as our most vulnerable member.
Our ultimate goal is to build an independent Scotland that puts All of Us First.
New Instance. :)
Hello everyone. My name is Sacha(He/Him/They) and I am an Indy comic artist and illustrator from Gatineau, Québec. I speak French and English.
My main comic project right now is a historical YA comic called Seeds of Spring, with the writer Christoper Coquard. It's the the biography Peter Kropotkin, a former russian noble turned anarchist, told from the prespective of a current day tennager, learning to reconnect with her Mi'kmaq heritage, with the help of her grandparents. The books are published with Microcosm Publishing and I have the PDF's available on my Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/shop
I am also always actively taking commissions for DnD and TTRPG character, as well as freelance in 2D art for games, storyboards and illustration for books, album covers etc. Feel free to contact me if you would like me to draw something for you :)

I also try to boost other creators work as much as I can. I also boost random stuff tangential to my work like concept art, movie stuff, old JRPG related things, art history, and the occasional bad joke.

mookie's #introduction / #reintroduction
it's me, hi. i'm the mookie, it's me (again).
i'm the father of two awesome kids. i love watching and talking about #movies. i'm a #gamer. i #run to eat. i'm a giant #starwars, #startrek, #predator, #alien and #tron nerd. i'm a born and raised #engineer.
i'm a serial #fediverse instance creator (and destroyer) and have been doing this since 2018.
my home is at https://ultramookie.com where i should be spending time writing.
will this be permanance?
I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅
Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it 
I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!
I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!
If you're new here, welcome! 😄
Hi, I'm Nat. I draw silly, little comics about my life and things I find important. I'd like to give the Fediverse a try because I'm tired of fighting predatory social media, algorithms, and poop-faces of tech bros.
Let's hang out and be nice to each other.

I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.
Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)

Après 20 ans d'expérience dans la solidarité internationale et passionnée par les ânes, j'ai réorienté toute ma vie, il y a plus de deux ans et après un grave burn out, pour devenir ânière. J'ai la grande chance de pouvoir murmurer aux oreilles des #Ânes et je suis passionnée par l'étude de leur comportement. Les ânes sont comme ma tribu.
#SolÂne s’inscrit dans une double démarche : sociale et environnementale. Je viens de lancer le processus d'adoption de mes premiers ânes : 3 ânesses et un âne. J'espère lancer mes activités d'ici quelques mois. Soit :
- Des événements organisés autour de l'âne,
- Des séances de #Zoothérapie par l’âne
- De l' #Ecopâturage

Hello (again), after a brief posting hiatus and a search for somewhere to migrate to, I am back on Mastodon! I've been on the fediverse since 2023 but grew tired of the mastodon.social experience and felt like it was time to spread my wings.
A bit about me: I'm a 30-something fellow living in midwestern USA who works two jobs and takes care of two pets at home. I love #retrocomputing #retrogaming #writing #webdesign #electronicmusic #nature and many more things I can't think to list at the moment.
I manage a community for PC gaming on 4:3 displays that has gained a significant following in recent times, you can check us out on #neocities here: https://doesit4by3.neocities.org/
Sometimes when I have free time and feel motivated (lol) I will write a few thousand words on tech and tech-adjacent subjects. You can read my work here: https://read-only.net/
All other relevant things I've shared on the web can be found on various parts of my website: https://rootcompute.neocities.org/
Glad to have found somewhere to land on my feet and I hope I'll be able to call c.im home on the fediverse for many years to come!
Want to help #mastodon and the #fediverse flourish? Here’s a few tags you should always boost:
Welcome to the grid. — I’m Justin, broadcasting out of Adelaide, South Australia.
After bouncing around the Fediverse looking for a balance between privacy and reality, I’ve dropped anchor here. This feed is for the daily static: behind the scenes RBL Talk podcast updates, heavy music rotations, non RB Leipzig football tactics, and navigating the day-to-day with a clear head.
For the longer, unvarnished thoughts that need a permanent home away from corporate algorithms, I run an independent archive called Xfiltrate.
🌐 The Archive: https://jxc.cx
🎙️ The Podcast: https://rbltalk.com
Expect a straight edge punk ethos, zero corporate filters, and just me calling it exactly how I see it.
Pinning things about me, things I think about, I guess like an #introduction.
I can't be defeated because I'm too determined to be happy, smile, laugh, and love.
I like long reflective walks. If I ever find my forever partner and commit, it should be among the trees. The strength, the endurance, being larger than life but still small relative to the universe, all symbolic of something greater than me.
Love isn't always on time. People are sometimes assholes and won't/don't apologize or don't mean it when they do.
Some people are cowards. (Don't be a coward.)
Fear motivates us or holds us back. I prefer to push.
I am afraid to tell people that I love them, *other than my son, who tells me that I say it too much*. Everyone else that I've told leaves. If I don't say it, I fake safety. I mean, what is love, anyway? Just deep appreciation. I deeply appreciate you. I can manage this.
My feelings are easily hurt and I shouldn't be averse to muting or blocking on the fedi when someone gets out of line or disparages me for no reason but because they decided to do it.
I hold grudges when someone makes no effort.
I try. I try again.
No one tells me what to do.
I can be fun. (When I wanna.)
I like pretty things. I see beautiful things everywhere I go.
The fedi is a beautiful community.
A short #Introduction for those that don't know me.
I'm John, a Software Engineer from Michigan building @atexplore.social (A data explorer for the Social Web) and @mackinac.social (a Social Web client that works with Mastdon and Bluesky).
I care about making AT Protocol and ActivityPub work together so people aren't trapped in one app.
I post about building on the open social web, tech, and sometimes Michigan sports. Say hi 👋
Hi all. I’m bored. I’m not really “back” - still have super bad writer’s block/no time - but I’ve realized I need conversation that’s not just “lol Instagram reel.” So hello, people of Mastodon. I am doing a PhD in #PoliSci (#geoeconomics/#CriticalRawMaterials). I work on the #EnergyTransition and often go to energy conferences and similar, most recently at DGAP and one held by adelphi. I live in Germany (mein Deustch ist C1 aber nicht perfekt) . Photography is my thing. Hallo! #introduction
Hello everyone! I am new here, a new transplant from the Forkiverse server that will be shutting down soon.
I love zines, printing, physical books, graphic design, and open-source code. Right now I am particularly interested in how puzzles can be used for telling stories.
Happy to join such an interesting community!
Hola! We're Protopia: a regenerative farm and co-living lab on 14 hectares of jungle in Costa Rica.
Artists, activists and digital nomads live, work and have fun together: sociocratic governance, pro social tech, evidence based thinking.
Our members work on ActivityPub tools, which is partly why we're here. If you do too, reach out, and come and work from here.
