I'm about to leave Mastodon for a few months. Not because I had a bad time, or couldn't find interesting people, or don't think the concept of a fediverse is dumb. On the contrary, I think it's great.

I just have other stuff to do. But before I go, I want to share some thoughts as an ex-Twitter designer and someone who's been on Mastodon since 2018.

#newhere #introduction

Just installed Friendica on our #LAMP account. Not sure what to do next, how to get a "feed" full of "content". I'm into #data #transparency and #left politics, #python and #ruby programming, applied #math, doing #mastodon @n8chz and I #blog at https://astoundingteam.com/wordpress


Hi Mastodon, I'm all new here, so I should probably introduce myself! I'm Ninn, an illustrator from France. I love painting the sky and surrealistic moments in nature. I also run a daily meteorological fiction project, @clever_reports.
#introduction #mastoart #digitalpainting
Digital painting of a little girl sleeping on a mattress floating on a stormy ocean. The girl is covered by a pink blanket, and there is an open book open face down on the blanket. The ocean is dark and foamy. Digital painting of a countryside landscape bathed in golden light. In the sky, there is a big and bright rainbow; underneath the rainbow, it's twilight, with a few clouds and white birds flying. Above the rainbow is a dark night sky full of bright stars of different colours.
Digital painting of a seaside landscape: a calm, foggy, grey sea, alongside a grey beach. There is a glowing giant, cyan, faceless figure standing in the sea, facing the beach, and a small character facing the figure on the beach, with their hood up.
Digital painting of a woman walking in a golden field with a few red poppies here and there. Her hair is a white cloud rising up from her hair. There are black birds flying above the field into the distance.

#introduction I came on here in order to be a new and better person to the one I was on Twitter, more open and respectful, less preening and rude. Lol, no, I came on mastodon bc I was doing a feature for the Guardian on mastodon, but in the course of it I realised I could stand to be less preening and rude. Hi everyone. I'm nice now.


Hey I have an idea.
Lot of new people on this instance, and we comic people have to support each other (Because no one else will) so - if you're a comic artist reply to this post with your art and some links where people can buy/read you comic and I'll boost it (and it would be wonderful if other people could boost those posts too). You don't have to be a new user to reply to my post.
Let's go (please boost for visibility)

Another instance, another #introduction - here's hoping that I'll settle here for good!

I'm matchboxbananasynergy, AKA Banana, That Banana Guy, Bananaman... you get the point.

My main interests are #privacy and #security - with an extra focus on #android

I've previously contributed to privacy and security resources, and I am currently doing community moderation for various privacy and security related open-source projects.

Feel free to say hi! πŸ‘‹β€‹


I think it's time for an #introduction! πŸ‘‹ πŸ‘

I'm Lizzie, a clay and mixed media #artist and illustrator based in the UK with my partner and silly dog.

I make #art like these examples here and although I only take on commercial commissions (as everything takes so long to make!) there are various pieces available for sale over at my store.

I also make tutorials and process vids on YouTube if that's your kind of thing. πŸŽ₯

I'm looking forward to spending more time on here πŸ˜€

#Introduction Hello Mastodon! I've spent the last day looking around and I like what I see, so thanks #fediverse for what you've built, and the warm welcome to new folks like me.

Who am I? I am no one. Just someone who's been lucky enough to work in #Antarctica for 16 years, and is back for another summer season, this time on the #antarcticpeninsula .

I am employed here, but don't represent anyone but me. I'm proud to work in Antarctica, and happy to share with you. Not a #twittermigration .

A little #introduction of my great love of #ink drawing that's developed over the past few years.

Especially love ink waterfalls!

#Introduction Hi! πŸ‘‹ Wir sind jetzt auch hier @ home, babies. Bei uns gibt's Musik aus Γ– und der Welt, (alternative) Popkultur und alle wichtigen Themen. BildungsauftragserfΓΌllung abseits der Hochkultur. We're bilingual E/G.


@Aurelpec Hi, welcome to the #fediverse! Please consider filling out your profile; the culture here is a bit different than Twitter and many people won't want to be followed by accounts that don't have an #introduction post, a bio, and a profile pick so that they know a little bit about you. Welcome again, and let us know if you need any help getting acclimated!

Ich wohne mit meinem Freund in nem kleinen Dorf in der Oberpfalz (das ist in Bayern πŸ€ͺ).

Auch im Kino fühl ich mich ganz wohl 😁.

Im Sommer schwingen wir uns aufs E-Bike πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ und touren durchs AltmΓΌhltal.

Wants to make the world a better place, one insight at a time.

Things I'm into:

#photography #filmPhotography #landscape #streetPhotography

#printmaking #linocut #woodcut

#fountainPens, #ink and #paper

#fibreArts like #dyeing #spinning #knitting and sometimes #weaving

πŸ‘‹ Hello! Here is an #introduction (now with hashtags)

Call me: Leo

Pronouns: he/him

Website: https://www.leouieda.com

Work: Lecturer in #Geophysics at University of Liverpool, UK. I use #maths + #physics + #Python + #datascience to solve #earthscience problems through #openscience. I make #opensource software to enable all of that and my #teaching.

re-#introduction This is the account for the Microbiology YouTube Journal Club. We're 2 #microbiology friends who met on the birbsite in grad school and rebooted the club during the pandemic.

We livestream every other week to talk about the papers we've seen that pique our interest. We also want to hear and discuss what interests you so toot us suggestions. If we get enough interest in a paper we'll make a "deep-dive" explainer video on it.

Relevant links in our profile. Hope to hear from you!


#introduction I've been hacking unix systems since the mid-80s in a good way, and I try to stay in the unix/free software/open source software world as much as possible.

I build far too many workflows that mix bash, python, awk, sed and golang together to drag data from odd places, polish it up, and put the results somewhere where the sun does shine. With possibly less input safety than is needed ...

For money, I do infosec. For fun, I play Elite😁angerous and help run the in-universe radio station RadioSidewinder.com.

I also live somewhere that isn't in your timezone, have a family that just wants their tech to work, and look forward to owning electric vehicles.


Yaho, I'm #newhere! I'm a Dutch anime enthusiast and blogger. I publish blogs on my website https://www.animeazing.nl.

This season I'm watching anime like #Chainsawman, and I'm a huge fan of shows like #Mushishi.

I have a personal assistant, my cat Sammy!

Other main interests include #manga, #music and #nature.

Like many, last weekend I fled from #Twitter to #Mastodon and discovered a whole new world. I love to meet new people, so let's chat!

Hi HCI! Time for another #twittermigration #introduction πŸ˜€

I'm an Australian philosopher, working on the moral and political philosophy of data and AI, and other digital tech.

I'm into building interdisciplinary community, and helping out early career philosophers (and others) new to this area.

My own work is mostly on the political philosophy side. You can read about it at https://mintresearch.org. I'm also a photographer, specialising in night skies (https://sethlazar.org).

Hi all! I'm a recent PhD graduate just starting out as a researcher in #informationScience and #communication at Cornell. I focus on the impact of technology on social relationships within teams / organizations, leveraging #socialnetwork and #computationalSocialScience approaches.

#introduction #introductions


#Introduction I’m a senior researcher at Roessingh Research and Development in the Netherlands.

I have a background in healthcare (worked 8 yrs in Germany as physician assistant), technology (studied media informatics in Germany) and #HCI (did my PhD in Sweden on values & experiences related to patient accessible health records).

I am passionate about human-centred & value sensitive #eHealth design that empowers patients (self-management, shared-decision making) and improves quality of care.


#Introduction

I'm a 35 year old Indian living in a southern state of the country with my wife and a 5 year old son.

I'm an adult keyboard learner, and a lover of heavy metal music. I also like to learn different languages, though I never reach even basic conversational levels in them.

When I have an hour or two to spare, I use the kitchen as a laboratory to run culinary experiments that fail most times or otherwise land up as social media posts.

I code for a living.


Content warning: introduction post, kinda long
