Hey, I am Jan, I am 22 years old and moved from another instance.
I love to play the bass and skateboard, when the weather allows for it.
My favorite songs are ICE579 by Temmis, Edward 40Hands by Mom Jeans. and Wellblech by Nils Keppel.
Like many others on this instance, I am a programmer. I have an interest in #Swift and #Golang development on Linux and I am trying to get more active in the #GNOME community.
#introduction New year, new Mastodon instance!
Hi, I'm SeedyThreeSixty, better known as Seedy. I'm a tech geek, fighting game lover, audiophile, text to speech enthusiast and maths nerd who loves to laugh and socialize. I'm 23 years old and have no eyesight. I am a sucker for old school hardware, software and TV; mainly late 90s/2000s era. Interested in Swedish language and culture; I hope to eventually move to Sweden.
I have a personal website at https://www.seedy.gq.
My blog, @spews, can be found here https://spews.seedy.gq.

I used to work with this cool lady and she would always take an interest in my songwriting. Every Monday, she’d ask how the weekend jam sessions went and if I’d recorded anything new. The weird thing was, anytime I had something uploaded for her to listen to, she’d listen to it through, and then tell me that it’s “not her kind of music” which is fair enough, but it always bemused me that she would take such an interest if she didn’t like what I was making.
One day, I decided to write her a song that she’d enjoy.
Spotify and Apple Music were playing at work all the time, so I knew what sort of songs she was into. Classic Rock. Australian Pub Rock in particular. She was a single mum in her 50’s, a strong, hard woman, an Aussie battler.
I wrote Proud Woman in a weekend, and recorded it at home on borrowed equipment. A mate I regularly jammed with did the vocals for me and when it was done, I uploaded it to my SoundCloud and gave her the link when I got to work.
She liked it.
The experience taught me the value of an audience of one. Even though the recording is rough, the focus on writing a song for one person with the aim that they - that person in particular - enjoys it, I think gave me a different perspective than when I was either writing purely for my own enjoyment, or simply going with some random song idea.
Since I've just moved accounts, it's time for a new #introduction post!
I've been a furry for an uncomfortably long time. I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for a couple of decades, but moved to the Seattle area in 2015. I'm into software engineering, vintage electronics, and coffee.
Sometimes I pretend to know what's going on, but it's all a clever ruse.
Fuck, I got a #FF shout-out from Bread and Circuses. Better do that intro I've been meaning to (re) do! Hello, new followers! :heart_pride:
Who am I: a lady, a bitch, a woman, a human. Cisgender, queer, white. Living in New York, where I was born, but I have traveled. Doing my best to support my Darling Nonbinary Spouse in their challenges being one of very few Black people in our community. Currently working as a drafter of soil/water conservation infrastructure. Before that, I bounced around a lot. Did construction and childcare and food service and data entry and more.
What you can expect from me: PLENTY boosts. I see it, I like it, I boost. Regular posts about #ClimateChange, #Degrowth, #GreenBuilding, and related topics. Commentary about social justice. Some news, but more opinion, about USA and NYS politics. I tag these (USpol/NYpol), but don't CW them. Edit: almost forgot to mention: I'm an anarchist apparently (I had to look it up) and I hate capitalism.
Other, less weighty stuff I like to talk about: #music of any genre. I'm developing the desire to become a DJ and collect vinyl, somebody stop me! #Crochet and fiber arts. #SciFi, #SpecFic. Not a skilled shitposter but I do appreciate the art form.
Fair warning: I like to argue. If you don't enjoy seeing someone go back and forth with mildly offensive bootlickers from time to time, I may not be your cup of tea. And don't worry about my mental health WRT arguments, to my brain a good argument is a lot like a good video game.
Hello! We're a bunch of linguists, lexicographers, authors and editors who enjoy swearing and writing about swearing on Strong Language: https://stronglang.wordpress.com/
Interested in the linguistics and culture of swearing, profanity, taboo language, etc.
Heyo~!! Nice to meet you all, I'm Lian Sirenia De'Loraen~! I've only been on fedi for a little over a month and a half but honestly I've been absolutely loving my time here! Everyone has been amazing and so I had decided to set up a little slice of hoem over at woem~!
I love playing a variety of games (especially rpgs, strategy and rhythm games), manga and anime (especially YURI!), drawing and other creative hobbies, and generally sharing in common interests with fun cool people!
I have an amazing asexual girlfriend who has supported me for years, though I am interested in other potential connections (she's aware). So feel free to reach out, I might be open! I'm just about two years into my medical transition.
With how much my art absolutely exploded in my time here I've graciously found myself taking on some commissions which I am so grateful for. Otherwise I spend most of my time hanging out in discord either playing games with folks, doing watch parties of stuff, drawing, or even just enjoying the background noise!
I look forward to continuing to hang out in this wonderful space and continue with the memes and making fantastic new friends~! 💖
Da ich diesen Account hier gerade von meinem alten umgezogen habe (leider ohne meine Follower mitnehmen zu können, da mein alter Account ein Adminaccount einer Single-User-Instanz war - da klappen umleitungen auf neue Accounts nicht) stelle ich mich kurz und knapp neu vor:
#introduction (fresh)
My name is Dutch Barracuda (everywhere), he/him, and I live in a seaside town in Essex, England.
I'm a Maker and 3D printer.
I repair things, salvage other things, and recycle as much as I can.
Practical #Solarpunk has been a major interest for the past year or two, and love #HardScienceFiction
Spend most of my days in a garden and shed, overcoming my burnout from work and people.
Definitely queer, predominantly pansexual, very polyamorous, and occasionally kinky.
my name's lylani. i'm a 25-year-old artist and writer from london who recently started my own FLINTA+ focused, "if you know, you know"-modelled masterbrand called OF THE BABES.
i've joined the fediverse after recently becoming disillusioned with the innate bigotry demonstrated by algorithmic platforms, so I hope this will wet my whistle 😳
Please don't hold it against me but I'm a white CIS hetro male. But I'm a LGBTQ2S+ Ally, and believe in progressive, social justice politics.
I believe we need to scrap the Capitalist economic system for something that values everyone not just the elite. We need to dispell the disbelief that Democracy can only work in a capitalist society.
We also need to bring back the respect for science and intelligence, that conservatives the world over denigrate. And with that actively bring climate change under control.
Furthermore we need to listen to science when it comes to our health. Masks work! Vaccines work! And another pandemic will come and if we don't learn from our mistakes it will be far worse than COVID is.
Just for completeness: I'm Cato, a fluffy lynx, I like to hack and build large displays, small electric vehicles, and whatever else is interesting. I like coding in mostly C, Python, and C#. Love hugs, cuddles, and making people happy :3
I'm Joff, I live in Melbourne/Naarm in Australia. Originally from Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Some form of #leftist#queerish#enm cis-human who ideally would live in some sort of technohippie commune with all my friends
Things I'm very into #aviation I've been (very slowly) working on getting my Private Pilots Licence. I currently hold an RPL. Planes are cool! #photography Nice photos! #swingdancing. Okay, it's been quite a while since I've done that, but I'm still gonna count it. #spaceflight and #rockets.
Playing all together far too much #RocketLeague
The few grey hairs in my beard are the evidence I've been a software engineer for quite some time now. Done most things, but I have a special place in my heart for #Elixir and #DevOps. Trying hard not to make this my entire personality. Currently working in the #ClimateChange space
I'm a Learning Specialist, Head of Science and Teacher of Physics, and Science at Castlemaine Secondary College in Victoria on
Dja Dja Wurrung (Djaara) Country
I listen to, play and record a range of mostly instrumental, atmospheric improvisational guitar music including with my band Make-Shift
I spend a lot of time listening to and watching nature including Birds, Butterflies, Clouds, Trees, Wildflowers, and Rocks
I am often obsessed with fantasy/sci-fi/role-playing games (e.g., D&D)
I hope for a more sustainable, equitable, and inclusive society
Hello everyone! Your favorite fedibirdy is back over here on thesocial.zone!
My main area of interest is gaming- particularly #retrogaming. I adore the #msdos era up through the early 00s. Games like DooM, Duke3D, Quake, EverQuest, and Starsiege Tribes.
#Retrocomputing and #retrotech bring me so much joy. As I've aged I find myself stereotypically looking back to my childhood and missing it immensely. I was quite the nerd falling in love with computers the moment I could connect to local BBS on my mom's work PC. I put that i386 9600baud Hayes machine through its paces.
#Horror is another love of mine. Every week I watch at least one horror film, and I never grow tired of them. It's the only film genre I continuously am excited for.
And, of course, #birds! These precious animals mean the world to me. They bring me peace and happiness just simply watching them from my living room window. Ever since a pair of sparrows nested in my garage many years ago have I been enamored with them.
I'm so used to using the bird website and anything I care to follow is over there. Genuinely don't know what to even follow here. I guess I mostly have this as a back up of some sort?
Just kinda feel like I'm yelling into the void over here
@absolute_G0blin It looks like it's your third day on the Fediverse. It's a different paradigm here that takes a lot more manual exploration. Make a post with the #introduction tag so people with an eye out for new people can see that you're here and have a little more of a clue what you're about. From there the void you shout into gets less empty.
I also strongly recommend checking out the @FediTips and @FediFollows accounts, along with their associated sites (https://fedi.tips and https://fedi.directory respectively). They are really excellent resources operated by one of the most selfless volunteers on the fediverse
Time for a re- #Introduction, as I've moved from scholar.social to ottawa.place!
I'm a botanist with AAFC, living and working in Ottawa, Canada. My work involves the diversity and distribution of wild plants, particularly wild berries and invasive species.
I'm also a photographer, coder, maker, hiker. I'm liable to toot about any of this, but probably mostly about #ottawa, #rstats, #botany and #photography, not necessarily in that order.
Hey, I'm blinry! I create digital tools and games, and digital art. I mostly use Mastodon to share my joy about things I learn or create. Welcome, everyone! :)
I love my communities: the Chaos community, Jugend Hackt, the Recurse Center.
I've been lurking for a while now but figured I would make an #introduction. You can call me ferret and I use she/her pronouns. I don't know how active I'll be because I'm pretty shy, but I decided to make an account because I've been trying other social medias since twitter was bought by musk and I decided to try out the fediverse after Cohost had their second big funding issue back in March. Currently my favorite anime are the show Bang Dream: It's MyGO and the movie Liz and the Blue Bird.
