#introduction Czas przestać lurkować, będzie tu pewnie troszkę o muzyce, książkach i tym co mnie wkurza i zachwyca. 😀

O mnie na razie tyle, że mam feministyczne serduszko po lewej stronie i szczerze dość komercyjnych mediów społecznościowych.


My main instance is down, and I am unsure if it will return, so I cannot transfer my followers, so boosts would be helpful! I am a Blind Romance writer, #Accessibility advocate, and more! I do a lot of digital community work and love reading audiobooks. I still do penpals, the snail mail way! I detest #AI but love eating international candy! #Introduction #Introductions

A somewhat tardy #introduction:

Hi! I'm OpenSexism. I share pieces about #sexism. I also maintain an archive of over 2500 studies, essays, and interviews about #genderbias: https://opensexism.wordpress.com. Please tag me if you would like me to add your piece to this collection

Mostly, I strive to amplify voices, but occasionally, I write as well: https://medium.com/@OpenSexism. I'm particularly fond of my collection on machine learning and gender bias: https://medium.com/@OpenSexism/list/for-humans-learning-machine-learning-415d17c5a501. Also #wikipedia, #academia


Time for an #introduction

Magpie Market is a federated platform aiming to be an alternative to #etsy; leveraging the Fediverse to help #artists, craftspeople, and others promote and sell their goods and services. We believe the #fediverse deserves a marketplace built with federation in mind.


Hi! 👋 Here's our #introduction.

We're BBC Research & Development; we explore and test new technology to discover how the BBC can best make use of it in the future.

For 100 years our engineers have been at the forefront of developments in broadcasting.

We're now researching how everyone could get TV & radio via the internet – along with all the flexibility and creativity that brings.

5G, AI, next-gen audio, UHD, personal data… we are investigating all these – and more!

Turns out I wasn't paying attention and never wrote an introduction post, so here goes:

Hey Mastodon community! I'm an indie author with 10 novels, 7 novellas, and a whole bunch of short stories. I write #scifi #fantasy #postapocalyptic and #horror. Currently working on a #steampunk series.

Looking to connect with fellow writers. Excited to share ideas and support each other on this writing journey. #introduction #writingcommunity #indieauthor #writing

#introduction

Hello, new fedinauts, I’m Aral. I live on the Emerald Isle with my partner in crime Laura and our trusty sidekick Oskar the huskamute.

I’m working on building the Small Web¹ as an ethical alternative to the Big Web.

Please feel free to say hi. I don’t bite (unless you’re a proud surveillance capitalist/people farmer or a douchebag billionaire) 😀

:kitten:💕

Brief #Introduction, since it seems to be the etiquette around here. Hi! I'm Mel, a PGR at QMUL researching abortion policy implementation in subnational Argentina, through lenses of various geographies, #policy and subnational studies, and literature on #feminist #activism. Expect toots both in #Spanish and #English. Alongside #academicchatter, expect pictures and commentary on #popculture, #cats, #nature and #food, as needed.


#introduction

My name is Elizabeth but please call me Lisa.

I'm probably best known as the person who started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple. You may think you know my deadname but... you don't.

I've drawn underground comics, pioneered using a Mac for newspaper graphics and developed software at Adobe and Netscape.

Now I write video #transcoding scripts and sometimes podcast.

Follow me and I'll fill your timeline with boosts.

New instance, new #introduction

I messed around with a lot of old Maxis games as a kid and kind of expected more would come out that would teach me how the world "really worked" in a way I could use to decide how to live my life. I still don't know what that would be like, exactly, but I figure *somebody* does, so I'm making a tool to help them, whoever they are: the Life Simulator Engine, #LiSE, pronounced "lies".

The core feature is time travel. The development kit for Inform 7 had this, and it seemed so obviously useful that I needed to have it. This replaces save files; now, everything that ever happened in any playthrough of your game lives in a database.

There's also a rules engine, similar to the one in Ren'Py's Dating Sim Engine. By compartmentalizing the complexity of your game's rules, it should make them easier to reason about, and there's a way to time travel to just before or after any particular rule, to see if it did the right thing.

Take a look:

We've been on Mastodon for 6 months now! Time for a re-#introduction to the new folks here:

Our team of editors identifies researchers studying topics that are timely, important or just plain interesting, and helps them write understandably for the public.

We give away all this #journalism for free.

#introduction

A few weeks ago there was a discussion about the need for a #Mastodon instance dedicated to NGOs, nonprofits, and folks in the human rights space.

So I got to work with @happy and @gillo and created https://mastodon.ngo! We're admin'ing this instance together and we'll be maintaining it for the long term.

If you or your organization or someone you know is interested in creating an account, let me know. You can also request an account here: https://mastodon.ngo/about


I never did an #introduction and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.

Ever evolving tag cloud because I keep being reminded of other interests:

#Equality #Justice #Socialism
#Liguistics #SciFi #Taxonomy #OpenWeb #IA #UX #DigitalGovernance #Feminism #Journalism #Writing #Français #Geek #90s #Marginalia #UrbanPlanning #Expat #Immigrant #Python #Perl #Costuming #History #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #Upcyling #Repairing #DIY #MLIS #InfoSci #Sighing


I have a bunch of new followers today, so a re- #Introduction is in order.

I'm Serge. I'm sometimes known online as @emacsen

I'm a believer in the power of #FreeSoftware to do good in the world and be an agent of self-determination.

I believe in #FreeCulture because culture is part of humanity.

My most recent project is #Babka, an online space for #Jews and Jewish allies.

I'm a #geek I love play, #boardgames #ttpg, #videogames, #superheroes

Let's be #friends


#HappyNewYear! I’m Jon Reed (@jonreed), and I founded Publishing Talk in 2007. It’s an educational website for #authors, and includes advice on #writing, getting published, #SelfPublishing and marketing books. I’m an #author myself, and was a #publisher for 10 years.

Been on the bird site for years, but this feels like a better place to build a #WritingCommunity.

Interested in boosting #WritingTips and other advice for authors here - as well as sharing blog posts. #AmWriting #Introduction

Hello everybody! My name is Sam. I'm a #Linux enthusiast who lives in Canada. I like self-hosting, and really enjoy tinkering with servers.

Sometimes I play games on my #OwnCast server at https://stream.pavot.ca

#Introduction Hey, we're that tiny, indie alternative to Am*zon for ebook subscriptions you've heard tell of. We're #DRMFree. We can deliver direct to your ereader if you’re willing to jump a few corporate-imposed hoops, we pay publishers almost as well as that bohoemoth. Basically all our profit goes to support a nonprofit journal of creative writing on environmental justice. Unfortunately we can’t do business in the EU or UK due to VAT. If you're anywhere else, we're very pleased to serve you

Hello Mastodon friends! #Introduction time…

I study neural networks supporting flexible #Navigation at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus. Using tractable systems, both biological (flies) and artificial (RNNs), I try to link the structure of neural circuits to their underlying function. In grad school, I studied hippocampal ripples at Caltech, and I love searching for shared operating principles across systems/species.

Here are two of my favorite fly neuron types. Aren’t they beautiful? 🙂

so, it's time for an #introduction!

i absolutely refuse to introduce myself. whatever i say here will invariably stick with me until the day i die.

1. the type of person i present as today may possibly not be the one that presents to you the next.

2. i have deep technical interests that shift over time.

3. something scary lurks beneath.

4. my AX.25 stack works better than the one in the Linux kernel, and is actually portable across OSes.

5. i am unrelenting.
