#introduction though I'm not new here, but moved to my #selfhosted #Mastodon instance half a year ago .

I'm Florian , #IT/computer science student at #RWTHAachen and #tech enthusiast.
I do lots of #selfhosting in my #homelab, develop apps with #Flutter , but also websites and other #software .

I'm very passionate about emergency #medicine and work as a #paramedic (Rettungssanitäter ) on the #ambulance in #ems .
I love water sports, be it #sailing , #diving or #swimming .

Hey Mastodon, my name is Dana! I have a passion for video games, reading, and working to make the world a better place; for myself and all generations to follow.
I work for a non-profit called Jennifer Ann's Group. Our mission is to prevent teen dating violence through awareness, education, and advocacy. Part of how we accomplish this is by creating video games to help teach teens about key protective factors and building healthy relationships. I graduated with a bachelors degree in Esports Management and have been working to spread awareness about our Gaming Against Violence program.
We also support developers in our annual game jam!
Let's connect, I'd love to meet other like-minded individuals!

Me (Diptych)

I hit the incredible mark of 2K. How? I really don't know. I'm not the most social person here. I mainly post selfmade photos, sometimes boost, am a mega-liker and occasionally smurf a comment.

But I'm still amazed at getting the same vibes here as logging on to #oldskool bulletin boards. So I really would like to thank all of you who follow me here

PS I intend to make this post sticky for a while and add some observations

Oui bonjouuuuur.
Je suis arrivée sur masto avant qu'on parle de faire des messages d'introduction, alors autant vous dire que je suis chafouine parce que j'ai rien à copier-coller pour faire ça vite. J'imagine que ça vous en dit déjà un peu sur moi.
Donc : je suis pas là depuis mars 2025, mais depuis janvier 2018. Avant de déménager, j'avais 15326 posts au compteur.
J'aime bien les chiffres, j'aime pas déménager, mais j'aime bien découvrir de nouveaux endroits, et je n'ai *aucune* contradiction en moi.
Aujourd'hui je suis sarcastique, la plupart du temps je suis vénère ou ultra triste, le choix est limité.
On va bien rigoler, allez !

Hi, I’m Ellie.

I’ve jumped to Mastodon after realising (again) how toxic big tech is. Trump and Musk’s obsession with controlling social media sealed it—I miss when it was about connecting, not just a tool for the rich to twist public opinion.

I’ll post a little bit about politics (Carol Cadwalladr fan!) but also pretty pictures, my pet, and travel snaps. Looking forward to actual conversations—not just whatever the algorithm wants me to see.

introduction because i saw someone else do one and i like talking about myself

name: zara
age: 13
pronouns: any
i am lesbian (I like people who look like what people call a woman. idgaf abt gender) and my gender is zara. no label

lgbtqia+ rights are human rights
atheist + anti-theist (anti organized religions)

me autistic and tourettes but who gaf

i wanna learn more about anarchy and i personally identify as an anarchist without adjectives. i think it’s important for anarchists to see the commonalities between each other, rather than the differences, and support the same cause by banding together.

have a nice day!!

“until we are all free, we are none of us free,” - emma lazarus, 1883.

allow me to reintroduce myself!

I'm a librarian focusing on research reproducibility + research data management.
I gave an interview about me/my work a while ago that is honestly still relevant: http://acrl.ala.org/dh/2018/04/04/repro/

I love FOSS, open access, open educational resources, open EVERYTHING

I hate the corporate capture of scholarship

I am a hobby and craft hoarder

I also love my husband @remram44 and our super cute black cat Little Boss

Another repost of this, as i've moved to my own personal instance running on GoToSocial.

Hi, I’m Andy, a #devops techie from the UK with a particular obsession with over engineering my home network setup. I operate dimension.sh (a tilde/pubnix), I’m also a Disney parks fan, Texans fan, and when I get a spare moment I enjoy a bit of wood working and tinkering with old computers.

Hi I'm Robert, I'm doing things with stuff. Working for a foss friendly german consulting company (betadots GmbH) and supporting #voxpupuli and #openvox ... tinkering around with containers, ci, cd, devops, ruby... stuff. nice to be here #Fediverse #introduction

I think it's time for a re-introduction!

Hello fediverse! I am an admin for Veganism.Social, VoIP engineer, sim-racer with @ethixracing, gamer, foodie, and long-time ethical vegan. I'm originally from South Florida, but now living in the Orlando area as of 2020. I'm usually not a very social person, but I'm trying to change that! I want to make a difference in the world, and one person cannot do that alone, so connecting with others is essential.

My political and ethical views are all centered around equality, compassion, and environmental protection. I am anti-capitalist, but I also understand that it's impossible in the current state of society to avoid participating in it. So I try to make the best decisions I can with the options given to me in order to minimize the harm it causes.

Humans and animals all over the world are facing troubling times, and thinking about it has taken a massive toll on my mental health. Now, I am trying to focus my efforts on things that I can change, rather than spreading myself too thin and not helping at all. This doesn't mean I'm ignoring all of the other suffering, but simply trying to prioritize based on what is within my reach.

Thank you for taking the time to read, and if you feel like we have something in common, give a follow! I look forward to meeting like-minded individuals and organizations that seek to make the world a better place!

For a bit more info about myself and my sim-racing efforts, check out this interview I did with @veganeasy last year.

In an effort to keep my Mastodon profile a bit cleaner and not overloaded with a bunch of pinned old posts that people have to scroll through to see my recent activity, I decided to copy them over to PreemChrome, unpin those posts from my profile here, and now I will just pin this one to my profile.

So, for anybody looking for my #introduction posts or to learn more about me, head to PreemChrome and you can learn more!

https://preemchro.me/About/masto-pinned-posts

I've heard chatter over the last couple of weeks about profiles with too many pinned posts, and I've got PreemChrome, so I figured why not clean things up and put it to good use? This way I don't have to keep those old posts hanging around on the off-chance that someone visits my profile. And hey, maybe they'll find some more interesting stuff on PreemChrome that floats their boat, eh? Can't hurt!

After 2 years and a bit on Mastodon, maybe it's time for an #Introduction ?

Hi, I'm Soren!

Mostly I boost and reply, and like to think that this benefits the different topics I'm interested in.

Follow me if you like to be connected to another political Trans*person.

Currently based in Germany, fluent in German and English, learning Spanish, rusty French. I live with an adopted teenager and 6 #blahaj of various sizes and colours.

Lurking on #fedieltern #actuallyautistic #punk #transjoy #anarchism
I dabble in writing and small projects like wood soldering or playlists. Cooking is my love language, cooking is my refuge, cooking is my breath of life.

I am a survivor and it is hard for me to guess what everyone’s level of comfort with brutal topics might be. Expect boosts without cw (have not figured that one out yet, sorry!).

Today's political reality, especially for Trans*people makes me oscillate between rage, sadness, and defiance. This sound like you? Hit me up. Let's stay alive until the morning light.

New instance, so time for a re #introduction post!

Hi all, I'm Phillip! I just moved from infosec.exchange (I still love you Jerry ) I'm a 20-something guy living with my gf somewhere in the U.S. unfortunately.

Professionally, I am a solo #it admin/automation engineer at a smaller company.

Unprofessionally, I am into #discgolf, #music, #reading, #houseplants, #homelab, #gaming, #SmallWeb, and more. Check out my omg.lol page in my bio if you'd like. Feel free to say hi!

(New intro!) Hi everyone! :> I'm Hexaitos (or mostly just Hex), an (actual!) bateleur eagle from Germany ^v^

I'm interested in computers and I like tinkering with both software and hardware. I mainly use Linux or other *nix systems. I self-host a whole bunch of stuff as well. I also really like birds (obviously!), taking walks, learning languages and taking photos (mostly of, you guessed it, birds!). I also do a bit of gaming from time to time.

My actual job is working as a network and systems administrator for a small ISP which includes a lot screaming at computers when they inevitably don't do what I want them to.

I mostly post about random stuff I am working on (computer- or software-related things most of the time!), random photos (I take a lot of photos…) or other random ramblings! ^v^

I'm a bit shy but always open for a chat! Check out my website (https://hexaitos.com) if you want to send me a message!

(New server, new #introduction .)

I'm a newcomer to #portland #pdx. I moved here after living in #austin #austinTX for over 30 years.

I'm interested in #openSource #linux #selfHosted #homeAutomation #homeAssistant

I advocate for #civicTech #openData #communityTech

I like #libraries #classicalGuitar

I occasionally post photos of #cooking, #bread, #pizza, and Franklin the #cat. You're welcome.

#Introduction
I am here because I try to stop using the platforms of megalomanic oligarchs whose only two principles are money and power.

I like #frogs, #plants (in particular less common #houseplants), #photography, and people who respect each other regardless of background. I think I will post mostly in English, but it would be nice to meet other Swedes here, and perhaps even people from #umeå.

Let's see how things develop...
