Okay. #introduction

I'm Sofi. I'm a 33yo Kentuckian who loves pop music. I have 3 loud kids and an even louder partner who loves bad puns. I am the quietest person in my house. I like fantasy and romance novels. I love romcoms from the 90s/00s, classic bourbon cocktails, and Fall/Winter spices.

I'll probably post a lot about my family and complain about puns and dad jokes. Bonus points if my husband posts his puns under my post complaining about them.


New instance for me, time for a fresh #introduction #introductions

Hi! I'm Dana and I'm Mama to a smart, creative, and outspoken six year old.

Sorry, six AND A HALF.

We're located in Boston (Go Red Sox!) but my partner and I both grew up in Chicago (Go White Sox!).

I work as an engineering manager at Grindr by day. I love cooking, sewing, cycling, watching Star Trek, roller skating, and playing the cello.

with the recent #TwitterMigration, now is a time for a new introduction post

i was born in northern Norway in 1983 and currently live in #Oslo with my cat Blizzard.

i'm a tech by trade, but i don't like it very much, so i do other things like cooking, music and photography to relax.

since 2017, i've also been compulsively maintaining an addiction to this place, of course... 💀

An #introduction perhaps?

I’m this middle-aged dad from Germany. I have a wonderful partner, 4 kids and a cat.

I care about society and technology. A retired #FOSS activist, these days I work at a globocorp doing IT stuff for trains 🚄

My interests include baking #bread, #fermenting stuff, paddling a whitewater #kayak, n00bing around with #Python, #RaspberryPi and #arduino, and oh so many books.

There’s never enough time, and I haven’t been bored in more than a decade.


Since there’s a wave of new people around, an #introduction.

I‘m a genderqueer, asexual/bisexual white person from Germany currently working in software development. 40 years old millennial as of 2022.

My hobbies are tabletop role playing, video games, board games and painting miniatures. Hiking on vacation.

My politics are antifa and general leftist without following a specific theory. I hate money, which is easy if you have enough of it.

I speak Deutsch DE and English EN and a little 日本語JP

Seeing that there are loads of new users to fedi, this is my #introduction

Hello! I'm Cass a 20-something-year-old from the UK who is a bit of a nerd and likes things like Minecraft, Linux, Doom, and chatting with my friends - I'd like to think that I can be easily approached, so if you think I'm cool, do contact me, I love talking to people.

I've been on Masto since late 2019, so it's exciting for me to see new users coming in - if you're new, hi, welcome, you will love this place


Time to update my #introduction!

Hi! I'm Ena, and I try to spend most of my time learning and doing whatever random thing I'm currently interested in, to bring the games I see in my head into the real world. However long that's gonna take ^_^

More (and generally more up to date) information about me and the things I'm making is available on my website:

#introduction #introductionfr

Je suis historienne médiéviste, enseignante-chercheuse à l'université de Versailles Saint-Quentin. Je fais partie de la #TeamMedieviste, de l' #ESR.

Ce compte parlera d'enseignement et de recherche en histoire : entre deux archives, entre deux préparations de cours, entre deux articles que j'aurai envie de partager, il y aura surement aussi un peu de râlerie et de fatigue, des trucs drôles qui n'auront rien à voir, et de la bouffe (parce que).


Since many users are joining today and in the future, a #introduction #introductions refresh for those new or want to get a reminder of who I'm about:

Content warning: Re-Introduction


Now that I think about it, I've never done an #introduction post before. So here goes.

Hi! I'm Jeff. 🖐️

I've been a professional software developer since around 1999 I guess. I started with web dev back in the early days of applets, DHTML, and Flash. I've since moved on to full stack work on just about anything that has a compiler or an interpreter. I've even recently dabbled in hardware design and manufacturing.


#introduction

more of a re-introduction really, as this is just me migrating to a new server. I work in tech as an infrastructure/security engineer. I drink and know things. I love B movies, rye whiskey, and biking around town. Very interested in green technology, though I have no specific connection to that industry at present.


So, after a long time of consideration and evaluation, I decided to finally move here. 😃

Hi!

About me: just a guy from Berlin. A little bit in the Linux/FOSS/privacy bubble, some Sci-Fi, PnP and science topics, etc. Symptoms of japanophilia こんにちは 😁 Likes solidarity and community projects.
Something like that.
Absolutely not an It-Boy. 😉

#Introduction

(toots mostly in German)


I've been trying to send a welcome message to every new user by hand... but it's hard with so many new people joining us!
------------
Hello new neighbour, and welcome to Aus.Social!

Feel free to write an #Introduction / #introductions post. This hashtag is followed by people in our community.

Asking questions is okay and encouraged! If you have any issues with people in the fediverse, please report them. Our mods are here to help.

Enjoy, and this place gets better with friends 😀

#Introduction time! I'm rysiek. On fedi since before it was fedi ­— I see you, old StatusNet guard!

Did information security and infrastructure for #PanamaPapers journalists, fought #ACTA on the streets and in meetings, helped write the book on #NetNeutrality, started a hackerspace and a half, and wrote a bunch of code.

Media literacy is a human right. Protocols, not platforms. Communities, not customers. User-Authored Works, not user-generated content.

It's time for a new #Introduction post! :blobcathappypaws:

Hey, I'm Benjamin! :ablobcatwave:
My native language is German, I also speak English and a little bit of Spanish.

Most of my time, I'm #coding or outside taking #photos. I'm interested in free and open source software, web dev and blogging.

I'm Christian and I try my best to live like God wants me to.

I'm currently listening to #NF on repeat.
I have two #cats, Peach and Balu - they're the best. :blobcatlove:

Well, I figured I probably should through a intro out... So, yep, I'm Lois, in the US, checking the place out being someone that's been on twitter for years... I'm very big in following for news, science news, Star Wars, history, and other stuff too numerous to put here.
And yeah, I know, I really like reposting stuff that I thought was cool - seeing how that's pretty much a given on my feed here already... Just noticed - I do like the character limit is larger - yes! 😀 #introduction


Hey everyone 💖​👋

I'm Danielle, and setting up this account to move to Mastodon (again-ish).

I'm a software engineer and photographer from Berlin, but I'm currently getting into filmmaking 😅​. I'll probably toot about bikes + bike maintenance too.

Excited to have a bit more data ownership and spending less time being frustrated by random Twitter UI changes.

#introduction


I moved instances, so here is my #introduction #introductions again!

I'm a 31 year old trans guy from and living in London. I'm queer as fuck and polyam with several scoops of autism on top.

For money I am a senior developer, having taught myself to code over seven years ago. I believe in an accessible web!

All cats are my friend.

Nice to meet you 😀

#introduction #twittermigration


Well, since there is a wave of new folks coming in and my previous intro is lost at sea, here is my new #introduction

I am a software engineer, and teacher thereof. I do lots of things, from airsoft, maintaining a blog, ranting, cooking and playing video games to sometimes even actually working.

I love learning languages and people often compare me to Wikipedia.

I am pretty left leaning politically.

LGBT rights are human rights.


Hello friends. I'm Flash, and I skate, dance, paint, draw, and do all sorts of cool things.

I, too, decided to deactivate when EM took over the other app. Plus it may be a nice quality-of-life change to not have to deal with the other app's algorithm.

Here's some of my art. You can see more at @artbyflashmob on Insta.

Say hello!

#Introduction #Art #Painting #OilPainting
Colorful painting of figure with chakras. Colorful painting of Beetlejuice, eye contact
Colorful painting of Pennywise the clown, eye contact Colorful painting of two women in skating gear hugging and kissing.


I suppose I should do an #introduction as well.

I'm Ryan!

Professionally, I do software engineering. Mostly as a #SRE, but it varies over time.

I play with computers, home networks, #maker things (#LEDs, #sewing, #leather), technology in general. (Ask me about my absurd VC setup.)

I fill free time with #videogames and #reading.

I care, deeply, about #lgbtq topics, #equality, (though, tbh, #equity is probably more accurate).

I collect random tidbits about, well, everything.


Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name subjects and topics that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same.

Here are some of my pet #hashtags:

Since my last #introduction left to buy milk and never returned...

Um, I do stuff with things.

What kind of stuff? I love making food. I'm a voracious reader. My main hobby was computer networking, and I do it for a living now. Other activities are currently strength training and climbing. I tend to learn everything about a thing before moving on to other stuff.

I support trans and non-conforming folks in my daily life.

My life is an adventure story, and I'm happy to learn about your adventures as well.


Here's a list of types of people I have encountered on here:

-fascists
-fascistoids
-racists
-ableists
-misogynists
-haters of queer people
-capitalists
-cryptocurrency shills
-people who think there are good nation states
-so-called "minor-attracted persons"
-bullies

If you're on this list, I would like to invite you to kindly fuck off.
If you like making excuses for any type of people on this list, I would also like to invite you to kindly fuck off.
These are my boundaries and if they make you mad, I would, again, like to invite you to kindly fuck off.

However, if you're the type of person who also wants the people on this list to fuck off, then you and I are very likely to become friends!

#Introduction #Introductions


Hi everyone. Here's my new #Introductions / #Introduction post

I'm Schratze. I'm an agender person in my late 20s from Germany. I'm just about to finish my master's degree in linguistics and then become a full time ogre and live in the swamp.

I'm an intersectional anarchist. I play bass in a heavy rock band called Descentury. Check it out

https://descentury.jimdosite.com/

In addition to all that, I post about music, birds, computers, mental health, video games and other random garbage.

I have ADHD and a bunch of issues. I'm on the aromantic spectrum. I'm not interested in flirting on here. All other interactions are welcome.

Feel free to send me a follow request. I will always follow back. However, if you have no avatar, no bio, no posts and don't even bother to @ me, I have to assume that you're a cop.


#introduction

Hi, I’m Tom! he/him, ace, loosely cis. I am a podcaster, writer, data analyst, and tech dilettante living in the Boston area.

More about me: https://www.nowwearealltom.com/hi/


Finally a pinned #introduction. I’ve been here a while. I work at an Australian university south of Sydney, on Dharawal Country. My day job is internationalisation: international students, study abroad, transnational ed, and partnerships. My background is edtech. I’m a patient advocate for public healthcare, in every sense. I’m over here listening and learning, and I garden without gloves.
