Good morrow Fediverse,

My name is Ben Looper, I'm a software engineer of five years currently living in Houston, TX...but not for much longer!
My wife and I are moving up to Calgary, AB, and I'm taking the opportunity to make some positive changes in my life, one of the first being to write more.

I have a few projects that my ADHD brain bounces between, and I want to begin fearlessly talking about them here, rather than verbal vomiting about them to whatever poor soul asks me about them.

Maybe (hopefully) these smaller updates will cascade into longer, more detailed pieces, but for now I'll be very happy to just share bits and bites, and to engage with others on stuff they're working on.

That last point specifically is what I'm most excited for - I don't have many people in my life that I can full-blown nerd out about this stuff with, and I really hope that I can find a community here to do that with.

Thanks, and happy hacking 📎

Hi everyone!

I'm pleased to have found a new place to share my news. #newhere

#introduction
I enjoy a variety of styles, but I mostly hear EDM, synth, rock. I'm trying lots different things, but my style mainly falls in those categories, with a jazzy twist! I am extremely selective on what I publish, perhaps too much.

I look forward to discuss sound stuff and else with nice people and share my work to most of you! Go find it on my bandcamp page:
music-anima.bandcamp.com

Take care!

Just landed on Mastodon

I’m currently moving into freelancing, focusing on embedded Linux and Rust, mostly around coaching, consulting and helping teams adopt better systems.

Outside of that I work on open source projects (mainly home automation stuff and some embedded Rust experiments I started myself).

When I’m not coding, you’ll probably find me in the workshop creating sawdust, brewing beer or at the fire brigade.

Hello Mastodon and Fediverse! I should have been there long too before.

(I mean "I should have joined much earlier.")
Thanks to peers of fediverse. I like ActivityPub.
Thanks to @eayavas@mstdn.social @eayavas@pixey.org @eayavas@lemmy.ml @anlar to make me join there.​

Hello all,

after over a year of people encouraging me I'm finally #newhere

Still confused about the whole Fediverse setup, but not knowing what to expect can bring the loveliest results.

One of my main fields of interest is #history especially of marginalised groups. I have way too many hobbies, many of them in the #textile area like #knitting #crochet and #crossstitch
Sometimes, I talk about the intersection of those interests.
At #emf2026 I'll give a workshop about hacking your clothes.

I’m not exactly #NewHere, but I’m posting a fresh #Introduction anyway.

Hi, I’m Ramses Revengeday (xe/xem, they/them, he/him) - autistic composer, artist, cyberpunk, and certified weirdo with two cats.

I make strange music and strange art, plus whatever weird little side quest my brain decides to spawn next. Sometimes that means music for games, series, documentaries, commercials, or TV stuff. Sometimes it’s just me chasing a sound at 3am because it felt haunted in the right way.

Music-wise, I’m into Drum and Bass, Neurofunk, Dubstep, Techstep, Metalstep, Cinematic stuff, and anything that sounds like a broken machine trying to feel something.

Art-wise, I mostly do XBIN, ANSI, and ASCII - lots of 90s/2000s anime energy, cyberpunk, retro tech, terminal vibes, and digital garbage.

revenge.day

Bonjour everyone!

I'm Joël, a 27-year-old #historian (he/him) from the #Netherlands #Limburg Living in #Brussels and working in #Leuven for a #heritage #museum #glam I'm into #languages and will be posting in #Nederlands #Francais #English

My toots will probably be mostly about #writing #reading #digitalminimalism #identity #podcasts #simpleliving and #art as I paint with #watercolor #oil #acrylic and I am into #photography

In my spare time I play #jazz and #funk on the #trombone or listen to my #vinyl collection.

#Introduction #newhere

hello, worl-- err.. FEDIVERSE! my first day!

2‑ish months ago, i was contemplating how much i do and DON’T know about cyber security, web dev, devops, etc. those thoughts led to a severe reality‑check / mid‑life‑crisis 😅 so i began a one‑man cyber‑crusade to reclaim my digital privacy, security, freedom and sovereignty, and how one protects and maintains all. along my travels mid‑february, et voila the fediverse! w00t w00t!

#Introduction #NewHere #Filipino #FilipinoAmerican #FilAm #NYC

Now, let's be honest. We know what it looks like when organisations show up, cross-post for two weeks, and disappear. We don't want to be that. But we're a small team with limited resources, so we need this to work both ways.

Engage with us. Challenge us. Tell us what you want to see from a European political party in this space. Help us make this worth it, for all of us.

This is the start of a conversation, not a campaign. Let's talk. 💜

Hi Fediverse!👋 We're Volt Europa, a pan-European political party building a federal, green, and progressive Europe. 🇪🇺

We believe in digital sovereignty, transparency, and putting people before platforms. Sound familiar? That's precisely why we're here.

We're not just looking for another channel to broadcast on. We chose this space because it reflects what we stand for: open, decentralised, and community-driven. We want to be part of this, not just present on it.

If you'd like start by filling out your bio a little (otherwise it could appear a bit creepy). Post an introduction with e.g. the #introduction and #NewHere.

Highly recommend checking out this thread, even it's on another server.

And give @FediTips a follow. Their site will probably answer all the questions you might have regarding the Fediverse.

#newhere

No, I didn't join from another social media. I just finally decided to join mastodon because I got tired of being as quiet as I've been for the past year or two.

Since I stopped hosting my regular radio show Quarantimes, I've written and published a novel and gotten myself some gender-affirming (whatever that means, phew!!) surgery.

On top of that, I got myself a complete new set of skills, mainly in gardening, construction and woodworking in general. I became a bit more serious about the whole prepping thing - while not losing my principles and still keeping up the struggle for a world of many worlds, a good life for all. I won't eat boomer-doomer bullshit.

I intend to be talking about everyday politics, relationships, organizing... And I am happy to share and talk with fellow-minded people.

Day 2 on Mastodon:

I don’t fully understand the Fediverse yet, but everyone seems super nice and no one's tried to sell me crypto, so that’s already an improvement over most of the internet. 🔐😅

So, if you like birds, bees, gardens, my quirky art, or quiet backyard moments… we’ll probably get along just fine. 🌿🐦🐝🎨

Hope you're all having a wonderful day ✌🏻
