Let’s do a proper #introduction. I am Slothdude, a hobbyist #sloth#artist. I used to draw sloths on an app called #DrawQuest until it shut down, and then for a while drew sloth portraits of people on another app called French Girls until that shut down, too. Now I draw sloths wherever I can, usually with an iPad app #Procreate. I do slothified versions of fine #art as well as cartoons and #fanart. I am also a #lego enthusiast.
I enjoy talking to people about what they do and figure out how to model it in a way that helps them to make decisions. It feels a bit like a cross between writing speculative fiction, social history, programming, and statistics. I'm CEO of a company called Mastodon C (no relation to the fediverse). We do this mostly for Local Authority clients but have done it for all sorts of orgs.
When I'm not doing that I enjoy cycling (on my fat bike or Brompton), reading (mostly science fiction or history or science), gardening, board and card games, and other things when the world isn't quite so risky. I watch a lot of "telly" and "films". I try to take photos of whatever is to hand, but mostly share things that are already beautiful rather than find beauty in good composition or skill.
I'm a lefty green anarchist politically, but really bad at it. I support the SNP and Greens in Scotland and would like an independent Scotland with more power devolved to local authorities.
Maybe good to do a little #Introduction also :blobcatgiggle: Never done that before :catblush:
Well uh.. meow! I am stux, I’m from the #Netherlands where I live with my girlfriend and our two little cats called #George & Washington or #Washy for short! We’ve adopted them from the streets and they’re named by people here on the #Fediverse :blobcatgiggle:
Like my gf, I just became 29 years old and I have a huge love for #tech, #space, #science and more nerd related stuff 😇 Over two years ago I started mstdn.social as a replacement for my former mainstream social media since it became hell. Since than I have expanded mstdn.social with other services like Misskey, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Matrix and so much more!
Since about a year now I quit my (terrible) job at a telecom company where I worked in customer support, I couldn’t stand the yelling anymore.. so I started my own business! It’s called Stuxhost.com♥️ @Stuxhost
My goal in life is to change the world, like many others I guess🫣
Hello, my name is Ben and I never liked Twitter in the first place.
I make box office software by day and have opinions about how event ticketing works.
I think most questions about philosophy of mind and artificial consciousness can be answered just by raising your own child and paying attention to what they do and how they learn. I've done two so far; the youngest is nearly 4.
To the extent that I have time for hobbies (not much), I am an enthusiastic experimental zymurgist.
To help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things 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.
Bonjour ! Je suis Fabian, monteur vidéo de 34 ans. Je m'intéresse de près aux technos vidéo - vintage ou pas - et aux technos en bien plus général #Geek 🤓
Malgré mon coté réservé, je suis curieux de tout. Je lis, regarde et écoute beaucoup de trucs. Je joue parfois #Gaymer mais très peu online. Je danse aussi 🕺. Si je m’ennuie je fais des gâteaux :3
AH! Et Diane la boule de poils moustachue à qui j'appartiens est souvent dans mes pattes 😺
I left that other place and hope to make some new friends here.
I live near Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, so if you like hiking, camping, mountains, and nature, maybe give me a follow. Onward to new horizons!
#introduction Hi peeps, I'm darkliquid, a coder and TTRPG enthusiast with a few things published, namely Rusthaven: a source book for Numenera, Non-Player Cards: an NPC generation toolkit, Mother's Milk: a trophy gold incursion, Roommates Wanted: a trophy dark incursion and various other bits dotted around here and there. Slowly working away on a few more projects, hopefully some of which will see the light of day at some point. Cypher system, rooted in trophy and forged in the dark is my jam.
Been here for a while but now I'm planning to start using Mastodon more frequently, so here's my #introduction
I'm a 3D artist who works using open source tools (#Blender, #Inkscape, #GIMP) and #Linux because I believe as a society we need more collaboration and less greed
I'm currently working as an artist on OTOY's Roddenberry Archive but I also do other projects when time allows, mainly #StarTrek related
Expect mostly posts about Trek or cats, with some Linux and progressivism mixed in!
wotcha! I am a #music listener and general nerd about town. I migrated from @evilchili some time ago; now I help admin linernotes.club, the premiere fediverse destination for music lovers who nod knowingly at each other from across the room when that song comes on but probably won't ever introduce themselves.
I've been running a homebrew #dnd 5e campaign with friends for several years. I got into casting #resin dice a while back; you can follow (or mute!) my exploits on #dicefail.
I'm married, have twin boys in elementary school, and a bag of dinosaur bones that claims to be a greyhound called Rufus, but I am skeptical.
My day job is principal engineer at AWS. My feelings on this are complicated. I'm ostensibly engaged on human factors and resilience engineering but mostly I decline meetings and apologize to people. Been in the business 30 years and have complicated feelings about that too.
#introduction Hello everyone! I’m Nathaniel, software developer (and avid coffee addict) by day and by night a pretty active gamer (lately it’s been World of Warcraft). My favorite drink is an old fashioned. 🍻 I joined mastodon to see what this open source platform is like. Cheers all! Happy to be here!
I'm a writer, reader, crafter, cat person, and tabletop, board, and video gamer. I recently finished a novel-length fan fiction and have more fan fic and original fiction in the works.
I don't self-censor that much which usually leads to me being horny on main. I will talk about NSFW topics freely, but if I happen to post something explicit, I'll try to remember the CWs. However, I will boost NSFW art even if doesn't have CW.
I'm here to have fun and talk with people who share my interests.
Re-#introduction
Hi I'm Alex (he/him), 30-something artist in Scotland.
I like experimental art, unusual music and weird horror films. I studied a semester in Japan and can speak some Japanese.
I'm disabled with ME/CFS, a chronic illness that leaves me mostly housebound. I'm always open to connecting with other disabled comrades onhere.
I've been on Masto for a few years and I would describe my posting style as a one-two punch of silly nonsense and debilitating sincerity.
I teach the anthropology of the power and political systems, social movements, race and racism, Indigenous rights, and the Andes, and Latin America at Vanderbilt University.
My ethnography focuses on grassroots social movements in Bolivia and socioenvironmental conflicts in Latin America. It resulted in this book: https://sovereignstreet.org
#introduction Hello! I'm Silver Huskey! I'm technically not new to Mastodon, as I've been running my blog here (@damagecontrolblog) since 2019.
This is my first first personal account, though! I'm a part-time writer/journalist from the United States. I enjoy writing about and talking about video games, animation, and technology.
I've been using the web for over two decades now and I'm delighted to find a social media network that reminds of the pre-Twitter and Facebook days.
#Introduction Bonjour 👋
Je suis Percy, Dev Web en IDF
En vrac je suis gamer, fan du MCU, lecteur de manga, bi, roliste à mes heures, amoureux des chats, j'aime regarder les séries en tout genre, je suis très mauvais pour me présenter, je fais de très bons cookies aux spéculoos et je viens d'Auvergne
Et en ce moment je regarde Heartstopper et je joue à Skyward Sword HD
Et je ne crois toujours pas ni en dieu, ni au capitalisme, ni à l'hétérosexualité, ni aux ouvertures faciles
Hello. This is my #Introduction post. I'm a short story writer, poet, and intermittent reviewer of film, tv, and art. I write across genres including #sff as well as literary, and #horror. I live in Melbourne / naarm. I'm interested in history, science, language, culture, and current affairs. Occasional kitten fosterer, former longsword wielder.
I'm a PhD candidate for CSIRO and contract software engineer for the University of Tasmania, where I make software that runs on big radio telescopes! They're kind of a nightmare but I'm deeply passionate about space conservation and the complicated infrastructure needed to make it happen.

My intro post was overdue an update, and I'm using Day 1 of the Snowflake Challenge as my incentive to finally write a new one! I'm enchantedsleeper, a fic writer, occasional vidder and general fandom enthusiast. My main fannish home these days is The Strange Case of Starship Iris, and I'm also into Marvel, The Murderbot Diaries and a sprinkling of other small fandoms.
I can be found on AO3, YouTube, Fanlore, FF.net, Dreamwidth and pretty much everywhere under this handle. Come and say hi!
This #introduction (casually dropping the hashtag in there since it wasn't in my original post) from January is still pretty current, but I'm also now into Encanto 😄
