Hello, Calckey! I've been using Mastodon since the E-train derailed over at That Other Place. I like it, and I LOVE the idea of the Fediverse, privatized social, and no F-ing algorithms run by advertisers and agendas. But I'm also frustrated by some of the limitations over there, especially low character limits on posts. So, I'm trying this. At the very least, it should give me some perspective on that the Fediverse really means.
Anyway, love to follow and engage with interesting people. Especially interested in meeting other writers of all kinds, mystery, science fiction and fantasy readers, indie publishing, folks interested in film and TV (especially genre), science and space folks, makers, and folks that know more than I do.
Maybe I'll do something interesting you'll like too. Follow if you want. Be warned, when I publish something I'll talk about it, and that happens regularly. An my wife is cozy mystery writer Christy Fifield, and I brag on her stuff too. I'll try never to be a jerk about it.
Hello, my name is Ken. My wife is Victoria. We've been married over 23 years, we're both gamers, love anime and manga, we had three Shetland Sheepdogs and now have two.
Victoria loathes social media while I'm amused by it.
Like the bio says, I'm here to boost others, promote facts and equality, and ❤ photos of your kids & dogs. I also design, build, & deliver big organization change & learning experiences for top global companies. Been getting clever online since 1983 and on #mastodon since 2023. Now scanning the future.
This is just a test account, looking at slternate front ends to the Fediverse.
For my (current) main account, see @stuartb .
Married father of 3, grand-father of 1, and annoyer of many.

Look I've never been and will never be a #Programmer but I've been a user since the late 70's when my scout leader took us to his office in the Pentagon and showed us a green screen and typed a message to a friend in Hawaii. Nothing special but this was #ARPANET in 1978! So HelloWorld hits me in a very personal way.
Now if only the damn package I need actually worked!!
#HelloWorld I've migrated to this new server and am feeling all new and shiny; now I can follow the love of my life @hrbrmstr and also @stux is really cool... please consider making a small donation to keep the servers up and running
Hello #pixelfed crowd!
I just decided to join here so to have somewhere in the #fediverse completely dedicated to my drawing and designs. As stated in my bio, I draw a lot: as a hobby, as a job, and as a researcher. I mostly draw traditionally (pen, ink, watercolour), sometimes digitally (especially #GraphicDesign).
I do a lot of #UrbanSketching and #DrawingEthnography, but when I have time (which is very rare) I love to draw some original characters like the one in this picture, who is a character from a little story I wrote long time ago and that recently I was thinking of turning into a #comic. But it's more of a thought than an actual project, as my research doesn't allow for enough free time for personal projects.
The image above has also being part of my ever first post in the #fedi last year, when I initially joined mastodon.art
I'll be doing an awful lot of ethnographic sketching this year, so I guess that would be most of my content after the initial posts to welcome the new season.
So, whether you are a creative researcher or someone who like art, drawing, and watercolours, I am happy to connect!
By way of a brief introduction, I'm Sam Roberts, author of Ghost Signs: A London Story (pictured, and at https://ghostsigns.co.uk/book), leader of the Ghostsigns Walking Tours (https://ghostsigns.co.uk/tours), and all-round ghost sign and sign painting obsessive.
I'm planning to use @pixelfed to periodically share photos of ghost signs, which may be my own, or may have been shared by others.
Hello world.
Ich versuchs mal mit Mastodon. Bin eine ganz normale nerd:in mit Hang zu Sarkasmus. Politisch eher links (also normal). Kann mich gut entspannen, wenn ich mich um meine kleinen IT-Projekte kümmern kann oder ne gute Serie gefunden habe. Und ohne Kaffee geht nix.
Freue mich auf nette Kontakte hier.
Ehi passiko / Come and see. Welcome to follow this phenomena. Tervetuloa seuraamaan tämän ihmettelijän matkaa täällä.
I'm new in #mastodon and seeing if this is my kind of thing. Seems like you have to either follow a lot of people or tags before you can find anything or "reside" in an instance which has already a lot of connections to your liking.
i'm an amiable, curious, and relatively quiet neurodivergent #cat thing that likes to tinker with stuff.
i've never really been an active participant on proper social media before, never had any accounts at any of the usual places, so this is new to me but i'm trying!
i'll be posting thoughts and maybe stuff about whatever i'm messing with at the time and potentially even do some replying and so on.
may my presence and practices be pleasant and helpful.
or the other way around is fine too, i suppose.
or at least may those things not bother anyone, really.
thanks for reading what might possibly have been some sort of #introduction !
Die Fülle des Lebens ist jetzt, im Flow, in dem Augenblick in dem wir uns ganz auf etwas einlassen was sich uns darbietet, ohne Nebenabsichten.
