Special shout-out to @nodebb for bringing this amazing #foss#opensource platform 🙂 with no strings attached.
Considering things that recently happened to #unity#unity3d it is absolutely necessary to take everything into consideration before committing into a #proprietary software.
#Welcome 👋 to our new #PhD Jin Wan! Her PhD project is part of the larger @algosoc project. Jin will research the effects of algorithmic gatekeeping on democratic processes and outcomes, focusing on the over-time dynamics between users, news, and #algorithms. 🤩
Hi, Everyone. I got my General ticket a couple of years ago. I'm mostly a portable operator as my QTH is deep in a valley and lots of RF noise. I enjoy the outdoors and like camping, hiking, and backpacking. I'm very interested in POTA and SOTA. Still learning about most things. #introduction
#Introduction I am a #FOD from Germany, based in Japan. #TNG was my first love, #DS9 is still my favorite. #GreatestGen slash @GreatestTrek is my favorite podcast, which I'm sure will come as a shock to all of you lol. I've been known to share a meme or two, #StarTrek related and beyond.
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.
I had an account on minds.com, though I don't remember why I created that account 😅. What I didn't like is the home feed was too narrow. #fediverse#minds#welcome
@hotforteacher#welcome aboard the Hood. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I hope you like Star Trek, @GreatestTrek , and cats. Because we got a whole lot of all that going on around here.
So we all agree to be welcoming to anyone coming from Twitter now, right? We won't be sanctimonious privileged douchecanoes telling them they're not Mastodoing correctly, right?
2022 and some of 2023 showed plenty of gatekeeping assholery in line with early 2000s Linux forums. Let's not do that anymore.
NANCY COMICS BY BUSHMILLER @nancycomics, a totally fun account devoted to "classic comic strips, with Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller being my favorite" just started posting here on Mastodon. This account has had a huge following over on the other place, and we are very fortunate to welcome them here!
If you are into classic comics, or just want to put some enjoyment in your feed consider following @nancycomics!

#Introduction
Hello, my name is Brandon, I am a big time Star Trek fan. I listen to the greatest trek podcasts every week. I am a nurse in the Denver Metro. I will be attending my first live show in Denver in November. Trying out Mastodon for the first time too, and trying to break my addiction of doomscrolling on other social media sites. Thanks for bringing me into the fleet!
ps. Can't wait for the guys to review my favorite star trek series Enterprise! when they are finished with Voyager.
After a hot, dry summer, the first rain of early, early autumn is most welcome. When it comes to weather, our memories are better than what we're told on TV.
@Cuteblooded@Troll I found that posting about stuff that interests me, following bright people who respond, and using hashtags is not a bad way to start. And check the local feed and the fedi feed from time to time to find new people to interact with. #welcome
