Interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse

Hi, I'm treefit, a #foss dev working on #deltachat. I'm responsible for the desktop client together with @jikstra.
My favorite coding language is #rustlang, but I "speak" #typescript, #javascript, #html, #css, too.
I'm also capable in #python and #swift, but not as much.

I'm new to the mastodon/toot style of communication (never used Twitter, either), so I'm still learning of how this all works.

My goal is to give you some behind-the scenes peeks onto the DeltaChat development.

📌 Introduction

I'm Hex, I'm about to be 30 and I'm a queer esports disaster from the east coast of Canada

I like tech, video games, community, mutual aid, and positivity.

I'm active on twitter but limited by my career visibility so I'm always looking for other places to be able to express myself. I'm not ashamed of who I am or my online presence. I just gotta split it up so the venture capitalists don't notice right away. 😈

#introduction

Hi! I'm Soyun, an interdisciplinary artist from Korea, based in The Hague, The Netherlands.

With my interest in relationships between humans and machines, I create #performance, #installation, #film (s), often involving sound.

Recently I worked on a performance about machine learning and surrealism. soyunparrrk.com/projects/fanta…

Also, I make an interview series hearing the stories of people who're building creative and supportive communities with positive use of technology. twitch.tv/rgbdogtv

Thank you for reading my introduction and nice to meet you all!

Hi, I’m gwil. I’m a programmer, illustrator, and father of two.

I used to work at a war crimes tribunal, a few e-commerce places, and am now using my practice to build alternative distributed #p4p systems.

Right now I’m working full-time on Earthstar, a FLOSS tool for offline-first, small, undiscoverable networks. earthstar-project.org

I also used to have the time to make a lot of odd-format, narrated webcomics like this one: gwil.co/peaches/leader.

Thank you for letting me in here! #introduction

Earthstar

Sync stuff you care about with people you know. Earthstar is a specification and Javascript library for building online tools you can truly call your own.

^{earthstar-project.org}

hello again!! i'm honor, an artist living and working in norwich, england - just updating some links

my personal art practice usually centres around language, meaning, power, & identity; you can see more of my works at hnr.fyi (i am now self-hosting with a totally hand-coded site!)

i produce art events, exhibitions, publications and community projects with ninetales collective, run by myself and my partner, gem. we have a website at ninetalescollective.org

i also curate a monthly vending machine based artist residency in norwich, called special dispensations. more info on that can be found at specialdispensations.net (this one's self-hosted and hand-built too!)

whatever i'm doing is usually centred around performance, events, and happenings, and i am currently working on developing an improvisational, musical, and agile performance practice. i'm also working with artists, musicians and organisers locally on developing sustainable ways experimental performance can inhabit more of the fabric of our irl scene. in my day job i produce stand-up comedy!

i'm always looking for new ways to think about community, integrity, communication, and connection, and always choosing to build forwards positively rather than retreat in fear from oppressive structures

#introduction

I'm a writer from germany, programming since nearly 40 years. For me, programming is a kind of writing. Especially I'm interested in kinetic typography, which I do with my own software. At the moment I work on my own programming language (some kind of Forth) to do the animations. The manual (German) you can find at: prolysarik.de/lysa_handbuch.pd…

#introduction #kinetic-typography #animation

Hi ! I’m Nemorosa or Nemo ! I use she/her pronouns.

I’m 29, I love speaking about science fiction, sciences in general and [insert current hyperfixation]
I knit, like cross-stitch and I am roller skating!

I love pigeons and live with two cats who love licking tape and put socks into their water bowl

French is my mother tongue and I also speak a bit of German!

#introduction #introductions

Lemme do another #introduction now that my fediHome is finalised.

Hi. I am @fyrfli@bkgrdclrshm.link also known as @fyrfli@mastodon.coffe.

I am a massive tinkerer and thinkerer ... to a fault. I am re-learning how to build web stuff because the last time I did any of that was back when Geocities was still a thing. (yeah, yeah .. I am dating myself).

I am obsessed with #CSS#FOSS#Debian#SelfHosting#Photography ... and I am "mom" to an American Eskimo or #Eskie (known as a MittelSpitz in the rest of the world), and a "red" Siberian #Husky. I am also an avid #Gamer currently unable to resist a good #RemnantsFromTheAshes session (and those can last all day if I am not careful). I also play #ARK and #WoW.

I hail from Kingston, #Jamaica and and am married with no children.

#introduction
Hi! I'm a scientist working with large maps of galaxies (real and simulated).

I'm interested in science and how to make it more inclusive and open, and in diversity in a broader sense. #science #diversityandinclusion

Also: I'm a Mexican living in Poland, so, you can expect a few pictures of nature, lakes, forests, etc.

My last #introduction was in 2018, so let's update it:

- I'm a free and open source software developer, mainly contributing to the #GNOME ecosystem and software development platform
- I am, through no fault of my own, the maintainer of the GNOME developer documentation website
- I write the occasional app, like Amberol
- I stream my work on Twitch: twitch.tv/ebassi
- I still plan on finishing the History of GNOME podcast
- I build #gundam plastic models
- trans rights are human rights

Hello. It’s my third day and I should do a proper #introduction.

I’m Gabe from Australia. I design solutions for a living but I don’t want to talk about work here.

I’m going to post mostly about my other interests such as RPGs, drawing, TV and movies.

I draw fantasy & sci-fi stuff that’s related to RPGs usually. I’ll be posting my drawings here, old & new.

Here is an older drawing for a #MeetTheArtist challenge on Instagram in 2020. It’s still applicable.

#mastoart #fediart

Back on my own Mastodon instance again 🎉 Guess I should post another #introduction on a new profile.

Hi folks 👋 I'm Jonah, this is my personal account. I'm a sysadmin and website creator working on @privacyguides and @techlore. Always looking for follow suggestions! 😃

Since I moved accounts and have never done an #introduction , let’s change that.

Hi, I’m Sarah. An Enby originally from Germany but now living in Oslo, Norway. I moved here for work, which is in Software Dev (got a shiny CS degree somewhere).

I love

🤸‍♂️ Aerial Silk & Aerial Hoop
🎮 Videogames (PC & Console)
🎞 Movies & TV shows
💻 Coding
🧝‍♀️ Adventure (Travel, hiking, exploring)
❤️ Community

Languages: 🇩🇪🇬🇧 (🇫🇷🇯🇵🇳🇴)

they/them/hen :)

I'd like to find a community of other people in #tech, maybe people who are interested in talking about things like #cloud alternatives, #cryptography, or #softwaredev processes (like #agile, I guess), #programming. I haven't found too much of that on here. Point me at the good discussions and knowledge sharing, if you know where it is!

Look, software isn't everything, and I'm sure I'll get into some other stuff on here, but the above is what I haven't found yet.

A re-#introduction

Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a computer musician and researcher, currently thinking about lyricism what it means for a computer to sing. I explore quirky vocal synthesis DSP algorithms and try to control them in interesting ways.

As a musician-turned-programmer, one of the things I try to do is build resources for topics related to audio programming and DSP that I wish I had when I was starting out. My aim is to empower digital musicians to "dig in" more and craft their own toys and tools for their work.

I also bake a lot. Expect many pictures of bread and croissants here, among other things.

An #introduction: I'm a #javascript dev from Brisbane, Australia. I run bne.social for Brissie folks & friends, join us!

📹 I loove #travel #vlog / #filmmaking / editing. Check out my Youtube at ash.ms/yt. Send me yours!

🚵 Also interested in #sustainability, #cycling, #retrocomputing & my CD collection (what's your fav album?)

Otherwise I love this part of the world & you'll probably find a lot of photos of moments I find beautiful around here. PS: 💯 gay 🌈 🦄

In 2018 I sold all my possessions and moved to Amsterdam to travel. That went well, huh? Now I'm back home in Brisbane, Australia with a newfound appreciation for how we do things down under.

#introduction #introductions

I'm a software developer in the AEC industry, typically working to automate engineering workflows in CAD software (revit etc.). I studied Mathematics, so naturally I love functional programming (and luckily get to use F# for most of my work!).

In my free time I enjoy walking, photography, custom keyboards, and any other hobbies my ADHD brain latches onto.

#software #math #tech #adhd

#introduction

My work is related to human rights and sometimes is a bit overwhelming so I want to disconnect for a while of everything and I think this instance will fit great for that😸

My hobbies are programing although I use it for data science and such, #painting (oil & watercolor and I want to try with #DigitalArt), reading #HistoricalFiction, I want to try some day writing #ScienceFiction oh and I like to learn new languages and practice #calligraphy.

I think that's all for now ☺️

#introduction

I'm Allison, a freelance copyeditor (and sometimes writer & artist) hoping to connect with international comrades who share my enthusiasm for speculative fiction, mountains, disability justice, and ecosocialism.

We might get along if

- you're still wearing PPE,
- you have a favorite plant (bonus points if you wear it as a tattoo),
- you like The Expanse despite its being on Amazon, and/or
- Bernie 2016 broke your heart.

Hope to meet a lot of new folks soon. Glad to be here!

P.S. I'm also going to keep an eye out for

#art
#ecosocialism
#energy
#ethics
#labor
#landback
#mountains
#novels
#organizing
#solarpunk
#walking
#wildfire
#wildflowers

Now that I'm on a new instance, I'll write a new #introduction.

I am a follower of Jesus, mutualist hobbyist programmer, and sysadmin (in that order). I'm passionate about #CooperativeTechnology, #smalltech, and liberating people all around within and without technology.

I'm interested in alternative internet protocols (#Gemini), mobile Linux, real sustainability, and various computer languages (including #Rust and #Zig).

Also hosting benign.town! Join us if you'd like. 🙂

Benign.Town

#introduction

Hello world hacker town!

I'm a computer and information security student with the passion for #hacking since I was a child.

I like several topics from technical to theoretical aspects of computer science.

My favourite are low level security, reverse engineering, hardware and operational security, but I'm fascinated from formal methods, quantum computing and cryptography too

I also like math and machine learning, but I haven't the time to improve my self a lot, fortunately I followed tons of courses at the university

Sometimes I play with blue team stuff, expecially to help friends to protect themselves, their networks and systems

I also spend my time with friends, working out at the gym, and sometimes reading books

So, I've heard it's good to #introduce myself as I'm #newhere.

I teach and advise researchers on #researchdatamanagement and #datasharing in the #socialsciences. I'm also interested in everything research data infrastructure related and everything to help advance an #openscience culture. Happy to answer your questions! 🤓

#neuhier #introduction

#Introduction

Hi everyone! My name is Christian Spannagel. I'm a professor for mathematics and computer science education at Heidelberg University of Education. I am interested in many things :), especially in the inverted classroom method (#flipclass), #itstuff, #sustainability, and #openscience.

Reintroducing myself due to a typo 🙃

Hello, world! Like many recently, I've come to Mastodon by the ~other site~ reaching a juncture that allowed me to imagine alternative venues for online interaction.

My #introduction: I'm an archaeologist with a special interest in landscapes and seascapes. As a day job, I'm a marine geophysicist but I continue to collect and process terrestrial geophysics data for my own research projects. I'm hoping to find other #archaeology colleagues out there!

#introduction time 👋

- I'm a writer, programmer and researcher based in Melbourne.

- My day job involves a lot(!) of #dataviz and my main tools of the trade are #d3js, #python, #R and #GIS software. But I also play around with p5.js and SQL on occasion.

- Outside of that, I'm looking to learn more about digital librarianship and curatorship, digital humanities, early internet and the #indieweb, live art coding, generative art and cool web design.

- I was also a #music journalist for a few years and I'm a classically trained singer, so I'm always keen to hear new recs

✌️

sup y'all - twitter addict here wanting to do an #introduction

I'm a comedian, writer, and actor, interests are #writing #comedy #funny #Twitter #stream #substack #boardgames #mountainbiking #film

also a #creator - I made my own digital series called Distance about a long distance relationship where you as the audience get to pick which side you want to watch first: www.distancetheseries.com

I'm also from #ukraine (born there, moved to US when I was seven) and live in #losangeles now.

Since I woke up, and there's new users here, #introduction

I am Joel, #Mexican, 21, studying #Mechatronics but I enjoy learning other things online instead

I like #FOSS and styling my stuff, such as #android, #linux or my #blog

I like meeting new people, my attempts at humor are terrible, my #origami posts get kinda famous, I enjoy getting into new #hobbies

Interests: #gamedev #inkscape #blogging #vim #selfhosting #raspberrypk #coding #podcasts #manga #anime #reading #citypop #daftpunk

Posting from the persona of my day job as a research scientist studying #adolescence, early life #adversity, and #cognition using intensive #longitudinal designs and #fMRI.

I'm mostly a methods and scientific #computing nut with a strong streak of scientific #critique and desire to improve scientific practice including #OpenScience and #philosophyofscience.

I think a more just society is possible. I think improving adolescent #wellbeing depends on expanding opportunities.

#introduction

Hi, my name is Dan and I use They/He pronouns.

By day I'm a Platform Security Engineer, with a focus on container & cloud security, tooling and automation.

The rest of the time, I enjoy playing and (more often) GMing #DnD 5e, #photography (generally wildlife and landscape), good #coffee, cooking and #gardening. I'd love to learn machining, blacksmithing and welding.

I'm very politically left, occasionally post about #ADHD & other #mentalhealth stuff.

Nice to meet you! #introduction
