Hello friends, we lost access to our old Varia fediverse account, but we are now back and ready to federate!

This is our new account, please follow us on here to connect with us again.

For those who don't know us, Varia is a member-based collective that maintains a ground floor space at Gouwstraat 3, Charlois Rotterdam, since 2017. Together we experiment with creating and maintaining physical and digital infrastructures needed for collective, cultural work. More about what we do here: varia.zone/en/

#introductions

I've been on Mastodon for almost 3 years and I've never done an #Introduction...

So hi, I'm NerdNextDoor. I do lots of things like music, programming (mostly OS/kernel stuff), blogging, other technical crap and I contribute to open-source.

I come from Scotland and I have autism, diagnosed in 2021.

I run a few projects such as EVi, The MCLE Code Collective, Arikoto, Inori, tauIRC and plenty of other things.

I'm left-wing too, and I really like the #GreenParty!

Mojeek here with our updated #introductions

We're on a mission to build the world's alternative search engine; a search engine that does what's right, that values and respects your privacy, whilst providing results from its own index, ordered with its own ranking algorithm: mojeek.com/about/

We're here to toot about new functionality, pictures of servers, peertube-hosted explainers, and the spiciest anti-big-tech memes we can come up with. If anyone asks, Mojeekat is our admin 🐱

Hi Fediverse,

I am new here and would like to give a short #introduction.
I am currently doing my #PhD in #biomechanics at the #HUBerlin where I focus on motor control of the trunk in the presence of low-back pain. As part of an interdisciplinary research team around the #CharitéBerlin our group is adressing #mechanics, #morphology and #motion of the spine.
I am interested in #rstats, #Linux, #OpenScience, #FAIRData and #FreeSoftware.

#introductions Hi Fediverse! I’m a #Texas transplant living in Stavanger, #Norway for the past 10 years. You’ll find me sharing my favorite #Gardening adventures, #vegan recipes (yes, I jumped in with those first!), and life abroad.

Keeping up with everything going on back in the States has been challenging—and explaining it to folks here, where I’m often the default #american explainer, is even trickier! So I cast a wide net for input on this- #fediverse let’s see what u got!

Here we are.
After a long time thinking of diving into the Fediverse, I've finally made the jump.
I'm not gonna lie, it feels good.

I have a creative mind with a scientific attitude. I value freedom, privacy and transparency. I've recently started shifting to decentralised, opensource alternatives.
I hope Mastodon will disappoint me less then others.

I'm a writer and director. I work in comics, films and animation.

Currently looking for new challenges.

💜BOOSTS MUCH APPRECIATED💜Hello! I'm having to start over with my account due to it being deleted. Introductions are not my forte, but here goes:

I'm Amora. I'm bisexual, ND, plural, and have anxiety so I'm sometimes non verbal. I love cats, tea, poetry, reading and being a creative girly. I'm a leftist, and an intersectional feminist. I'm also a witch. Trans rights are human rights, always🏳️‍⚧️ If you're over 18, give me a follow!

New account, so it's time for #Introductions.

Hi, I'm the proprietress of Evergreen Sewing, a woman-owned benefit LLC based in Milwaukie, OR and serving the #PDX area!

Evergreen does #sewing machine repair and resale. The company is dedicated to empowering creators, reducing waste, and promoting #SlowFashion.

We're easing into business with a soft launch in January 2026, and expecting the hard launch the next month.

Happy to be here!

Howdy, I’m Ainsley!
I’m a marine biology major at Texas A&M Galveston. I am passionate about all things biology and ecology, and I always want to learn more.
On this platform, I hope to share some of my nature photography, discuss papers I find interesting, show off my small collection of vintage science stuff, proselytize about the many benefits of iNaturalist, and most importantly, connect with other like-minded folks. I’ll probably be starting off slow as I’m a very busy bee, but I hope that after I graduate in December I’ll have a bit more time to devote to this platform. Currently, I’m enrolled in classes and working in both the chemistry prep lab and the sea life facility at my university.
Outside of my love of science and nature, I’m also an artist, furry, and cat owner.

I thought I should do a bit of an intro. I'm fairly new to Mastodon but I'm not a Bsky refugee. I was never on it because it quickly seemed to generate the same annoying dynamics as Twitter, with people doing things for likes.

I'd been off social media for ages until a column by @pluralistic inspired me to check out the fediverse. I really like it so far - it seems pretty chill and doesn't hurt my brain. I'm not a techie but I'm very interested in the politics of tech so appreciate learning more about those issues here.

I haven't posted a lot myself because of having to resize images before uploading, which I can't seem to do easily! 😂 Advice would be helpful. I'm also figuring out the norms for posting.

I'm masquerading as a Common Loon for now while I figure out how I want to build a new relationship to social media.

Interested in talking about all things #Birds #Gardening and a bit of #Politics and #HigherEd here and there.

Hi aus.social!

Just another millennial who hasn't fed his Neopets in 7,670 days, and misses when the internet wasn't a corporate graveyard of advertisements.

Likes: A perfectly pulled espresso | obscure vinyl | naps with my cat.

Dislikes: Fascists | algorithms | streaming services skipping the credits to auto-play the next episode.

Hello~ It's my first time using this site so I'm still learning the ropes on how to use it. I just suddenly had the thought that I wanted to get off of Twitter because it was being taken over by too many unrelated things.

I'm from Melbourne and I like discussing books, life, nerd stuff (😛), interesting places and much more ☺️

Nice to meet you all

Hej!

This is our #introduction / #introductions

We are the Institute for Degrowth Studies, based in #Malmö #Sweden. We are an association (“ideell förening”) founded with the aim of spreading knowledge about #degrowth, creating and/or supporting activities aligned with degrowth, providing opportunities for our members to learn more about degrowth, and fostering collaboration both locally and internationally with other degrowth groups and organizations that share similar values.

After organizing the 6th International Degrowth Conference we have arranged study circles and study visits, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and projects. We have also collaborated with other civil-society organisations for public events and activities.

As part of prefiguring the world we want to see, we are now happy to also have a presence on the #fediverse. We will post updates of related events in the area and share other relevant materials!

Hi Fediverse.

I'm a Senior Software Developer using #PHP for work and trying to get into #golang.

I live in Ireland since last 10 years. Outside of work I'm into all things nerdy, be it science fiction, video games, model kits.

A belated #introduction.

Hello Fediverse,
We are the #FediverseFoundation. As a non-profit association we're hosting and moderating instances, go to different events and lobby for the Fediverse since 2023.
From now on you'll be able to follow this account for updates, including downtimes, new instances and tools, small and large developments of our association and of course regular calls for donations.
Some cool updates will follow soon.

Btw you can find our bank info at fediverse.foundation/en/spende…

We're also happy to share our server infrastructure and host your Fediverse instance, to save money and resources together.

Long live the Fediverse!

#introduction #introductions

Hello Fediverse,
I am a researcher in #geoscience, focusing mostly on hydrogeology, hydrology, evaporation and rock weathering. I am affiliated with Charles University (Czech Republic).
I am here to stay in touch with – and share – news about #science and academic life. That's why I chose #Fediscience as my home server and will mostly contribute to the tags #academia and #academicchatter.
I am in my mid-thirties and live near Prague with my family. I enjoy reading #books and spending time in nature. Addicted to #coffee.

I understand the next hours and days will be the peak of the current wave to the Fediverse (unless it causes a tipping point already).

So I want to offer my help to everybody who is new here.

I can help you with:
* finding the right instance (if you're not sure you found it)
* understanding how it all works
* editing your profile and settings
* finding your bubble
* helping others find you
* finding answers to further questions

I can help you by:
* replying publicly
* replying via DM
* videocall & screensharing (one on one or in groups)
* finding others who can answer the questions that I can't

This offer goes to:
* everybody (except trolls)
* not just people on one of our (Fediverse Foundation) instances
* not just people in the climatejustice movement
* not just people using Mastodon (though I don't have experience with all software flavors)
* not even only new people

I speak English and German.
