The Institute for Dissent and Datalove is a loose collective comprised of hackers, artists, activists and tinkerers. It overlaps with networks of solidarities involved in active defense of free speech and free/libre technologies, technology critics and political interventions.
The Institute for Dissent and Datalove has so far mostly been used for operations of de/re-contextualization of large datasets, de-formatting of formats and playful use of liberating algorithms.
It tries to criticize and deconstruct itself, while remaining grounded in uncompromising collective practices of autonomy and solidarity.
Bonjour bonsoir, c'est parti pour notre #introduction !
Allo la Terre, ici Curiosity, nous sommes une communauté d'échange autour... d'un peu tout ! ⚗️
Des #sciences fondamentales à l'#informatique en passant par des débats sur la #société et l'#écologie, on est un groupe de personnes hétéroclite, d'un peu partout en #France (et ailleurs) 🌍
Nous avons un forum Discourse, bien qu'assez peu actif, et un serveur Discord.
N'hésitez pas à passer soit sur l'un, soit sur l'autre ou à discuter ici 😀
Nous, c'est Gunivers, une communauté de créateurs.
Notre objectif, c'est de développer de nouvelles manières d'apprendre ensemble autour de jeux vidéos, et d'aiguiser la créativité de nos membres ⚒️
On est principalement sur Minecraft en ce moment, le jeu étant un bac à sable très intéressant, mais on a quelques membres qui s'essaient à Godot Engine, et d'autres qui créent via les technos web.
I’m a 52-year-old queer man (he/him); I’ve been married to my nonbinary spouse for 16 years now. We live in San Francisco where the Castro meets the Mission. I was blogging before the word existed, and the fediverse reminds me of what I loved about that time of my life.
In addition to the SF queer arts & drag scene, I’m interested in comics, sf & fantasy fiction, musical theater, queer history & pop culture, tarot & cartomancy, and Apple/iOS tech.
Salut Mastodon ! #introduction Ca y est, après beaucoup, beaucoup, de procrastination, je suis aussi sur Mastodon. Vous me connaissez peut-être, DrSornette sur Twitter, comme indiqué dans ma bio je suis une femme trans :flag_transgender:, enseignante-chercheuse, et je travaille sur l'enseignement de l'argumentation et de l'esprit critique ! Je parle surtout de droits trans et de sciences, de politique, et parfois d'autres choses qui m'intéressent.
It's been a year since I joined this instance, and I've learned a lot more about #Mastodon that I've decided to make a new #introduction
Hi! I'm Jason. I'm a #software#developer, and I was born and raised in the #US but have lived in #Germany with my wife and kids for over 20 years now.
#GenX parent of a #nonbinary child. So supporting them is important to me. I play #Minecraft, and I #oilpaint as hobbies. I am a #geek and have been since before it was cool.
#introduction Hey there y'all! I'm Sol (although that's a pseudonym), I'm a musician and a student in the New York area, and I'm very new to Mastodon and similar sites.
I use all pronouns, so don't worry about accidentally using the wrong ones.
I'm bisexual, but I do have a partner, so don't hit on me lol (thats a joke btw)
uhh yeah I might sound weird at times, I'm VERY neuroatypical, I have ADD (ADHD minus the hyperactive) and maybe Autism or at least a lot of autistic tendencies (looking back on that, it sounds a bit rude towards people actually on the spectrum , i mean no harm i just dont know how to word things better)
Somethings i like:
Books
Minecraft
Music
Any kind of computer science
Thanks for looking at my words, and have a good day!
Hello great people of mastodon.radio! We are SN9H - contest station team of @hskrk - since we appreciate the outstanding quality of mastodon.radio feed, we wanted to funnel radio endeavors of Hackerspace Kraków here - to the HAMs :)
Hey'all! We're BlueBuild, a FOSS community project focused on making the customization of image-based atomic Linux distributions a breeze. (atomic @fedora, @UniversalBlue
Good day, m'lady! Let me tip my fedora and kiss your forehead to ensure you're properly introduced to my goatee. Do not be afraid because I am very nice and quite possibly the nicest guy this side of Reddit. May I get you a Mountain Dew and show you to my room of unboxed collectibles on display?
Here we go again! I'm sickmatter the open source software engineer and security engineer. I do not like bigotry, overt or covert. I prefer to highlight the lived experiences of minorities over believing conspiracy theories about them (wild, I know). #introduction
I want to make a career of making an ecosystem of software tools and platforms that brings more compassion and imagination in our teaching, learning and research practices
Since I've only been on here a week I'm posting a 2nd #introduction ...I'm Bryan (duh) in #Ottawa, almost 50 (embracing it), #bisexual cat dad (my baby's turning 5 in June), here for some #queer content, maybe some music (I'm a #disco and #edm fanatic), movies (keen on #horror right now), some real talk about ME / #CFS, #trauma / #PTSD / #CPTSD, and I might talk about working out and cooking (because no one's ever done that online). Here's a 30-year-old photo of me, I look EXACTLY the same now.
about me to pin to profile / quick #introduction I guess / extended bio
maven
they/she/it
cat (ΘΔ?)
might update pronouns.page to match all labels and names im comfortable and uncomfortable with
autistic
Identity in detail
Name:
I’m Maven but I also go by Luna
Pronouns:
they, she, and it in no order or preference just please use all of them not just one or two
Gender:
Demigirl but it’s complicated, I’m not between girl and nb but more incomprehensible but girl aligned
Best descriptor for “incomprehensible” is NaN if that makes sense
Still feel more comfortable “as a girl” in the binary sense, I would feel more comfortable if I were afab but not just “girl” or “woman” either.
Sexuality:
Bi but I prefer girls, almost a lesbian but some exceptions apply so bi fits best.
Interests:
Major special interests:
Tech
MineCraft
Minor special interests:
Identity labels
Fandoms:
dsmp (I was a TechnoBlade fan, I don’t support dream)
MineCraft? does that count?
uhh maybe small things I was interested in and kinda watched but not really in the fandom
Been meaning to get into:
toh
asmp
learning rust (bad at self teaching)
self hosting (have to work around cgnat)
celeste
UnderTale
Lost interest:
too many to count
sorry if some of this post looks ugly I camel cased things that wouldn’t work on a screen reader
Hello everyone!
I'm Aloïs, a french trans guy born in 1989.
In my work life, I'm a front-end developer.
In my true life, I'm a furry artist, music composer, gay bear, probably autistic with general anxiety disorder and a terrible leftist.
Don't be afraid to interaction, I'm friendly :floof_Heart:
Since I have lots of new followers today, I think it's time to finally update my #introduction post!
My name is Borealis, but most online know me as the LiteralGrill! You can call me Allie or Grill for short. I'm trans and an Ursa, think of a gay bear but in a femme form. She/Her pronouns please!
I actively fight for disability justice and will discuss that here as much as I'll share my love for anime and manga (maybe a little more tbh). I often write essays analyzing media or discussing anime history and you'll find a surprising number of times that those two topics intertwine in my works.
I tend to dig old media formats in general and love weird retro tech! I still avidly enjoy my growing VHS and LaserDisc collections. I have quite the board game collection too with some real oddities in there.
While I am a big supporter of content warnings and you'll see me use them often, you won't find them on educational posts or on anything discussing the realities of my life as a disabled trans person. I will however, always make sure these posts have appropriate hashtags so you can filter them out of your feed. If you need to protect your peace by not following or blocking me, I take no offense and completely understand. I hope you'll understand that not censoring the realities of my life from the world is part of how I protect mine.
I'm often stuck inside as an immunocompromised person in an ongoing pandemic (COVID isn't over and I take it seriously) so I'll rarely turn down a good conversation! Or if you just want to hear me info dump on obscure trivia of some kind that I'm researching for my next big article.
Before I forget... Yes, I'm that bonkers grill that watched Groundhog Day 365 days in a row! So expect my knowledge of time loops to be oddly all encompassing.
Welcome to my little corner of the Fediverse, I hope you'll like it here!
Finally doing one of these after migrating my account.
Hello #Fediverse! I’m Kemotep. I’m a #cybersecurity professional working as a security engineer in #Ohio. I am a father, husband, and rural Liberal Democrat. I enjoy hikes with my family, learning about #OpenSource technology, playing #TTRPGs and #PCGaming. Specifically looking forward to the release of #Dolmenwood and #EldenRing DLC.
Post mostly about my dog and liberal shitpoasting. My account used to be @archliberal.
