Hi! I'm Hugh from Ireland but living in Amsterdam.
For work, I'm a principal web developer at Twilio, and for fun I like cycling, playing #guitar and bass, playing #space themed games (#astroneer, #space-engineers), listening to #audiobooks and #podcasts, and sometimes writing open source code.
I'm getting into #3d modelling and on the verge of buying a 3d printer. Generally aiming to do more geeky computer things. Hi!
I'm a software developer from Lisbon, Portugal.
I'll be mostly writing about #programming, #opensource and #technology in general, but I may also share random stuff like music, #Formula1 or #Football.
Oh, and I might also post sometimes in Portuguese!
I also do photos, some I may boost here but can find the rest of it at @t3mujin@photog.social
You can call me Jea and I like to call myself an #artist.
By day I work as a softwaredeveloper, I tend to work with #javascript #css #html #java so mostly #webdevelopment
When I don't programm, I create: #art (#traditionalArt or #digitalArt in #krita ) #bookbinding #3d in #blender #needlefelting and whatever else I find that I like to try out. I always like to try and learn new things. :)
As a card-carrying #introvert this may be my longest toot.
Except for #reading here in no order are a few things that get my attention, of which I claim no expertise.
#writing
#coding
#archaeology
#geology
#astronomy
#camping
#python
#nativeplants
#linocut
#drawing
#butterflies
#entomology
#nature
#photography
#outdoors
#wildlife
#papermaking
#bookbinding
#scifi
#offgrid
#rewilding
I'm now working with some complex data sets probably best handled with #python. From there, I hope to up my data viz game.
I also have fantasies RE applying #python and #raspberrypi to my small farm #rewilding efforts.
If my other interests toots wander too far astray from the instance's intent feel free to call me out!
So, learning mode on.

Hello lovely people, i'm puniko
Welcome to the fediverse
i'm the admin of mk.absturztau.be and fedi.absturztau.be as well as some other services unrelated to the fediverse. i also sometimes code stuff for either my instance or for a fedi project. so if you have questions about the fediverse, feel free to ask
i'm mostly here for comf, which is why i usually avoid political topics. so i mostly post about my interactions here, sometimes about stuff i'm doing irl, like drawings, hikes and stuff i collect. or ranting about work sometimes.
I'm here on fedi since 2018. and it was quite a journey :3
I started out in mastodon social, as many of you newcomers. That didn't last long tho, since i got invited to another instance. From there, i took interest in running my own instance. and i met so many lovely people on the way here.
also sidenote: i mostly post in english, sometimes german, so don't be surprised
I'm a child of the 80s. I've lived on three continents. Happily married, step-father of one. Software engineer by trade, but wished I had become a Disney Imagineer.
Hobbies include rock climbing, electric skateboarding, tinkering with Linux, hiking/walking, learning new things.

Hi, I'm Aks, also known as Akselmo/Huntra. I am a hobbyist gamedev and I do programming stuff as a job. I've been on fedi for months now.
I enjoy technology, old and new. I really like Linux and FOSS related things, and computers in general.
I'm not very political on internet, I save that to real world. Just know that I support equal human rights and right to privacy.
I also write a tiny blog which you can find in my bio.
I'm into:
#linux
#opensource
#retro
#vim, #neovim
#netbsd
#Cinnamon desktop
Tiling Window Managers
#programming #lua
#permacomputing
#resilience
I post writing on my own blog and on the #fediverse. I post videos primarily on a #selfhosted #peertube server and also on #lbry. I no longer post video to #youtube.
If you have similar interests, consider following me. It'd be great to connect with you!
Hi everybody! I am a design writer who recently finished my MA in Acoustical Studies at Johns Hopkins. My research revolves around intersections between late modern architecture, sound studies, and acoustics from 1960-1980.
I try to read an architecture theory essay every day, and will mostly be posting about that.
I'm currently writing an article about populism and architecture in the digital age.
Nice to meet you!
I am a computational linguist passionate about #linux and #emacs. I like #foss in research and often talk too much about the importance of os and #openData in academia and education.
I like #minetest l4d2, terraria and honestly too many games.
I study #AI and like to talk about sensible implementations of it and its future, also very into #linguistics
Hi, I'm Dahl. I'm a professional himbologist and amateur boywife from the United States. I'm 28 (in dog years) and will be graduating with an advanced degree from obedience school in the coming months. I like to read (fantasy / supernatural / mystery / alternate history), write, play video games (Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Genshin Impact, Shin Megami Tensei V), and do big baby basic bitch coding.
Online, I like to pretend I'm a dog with thumbs. Offline, I like to pretend I'm a dog (derogatory) with thumbs.
[I'm not new to the Fediverse]
I've actually been here for a while already, though mostly inactive! The Birdsite Situation prompted me to pop in here again. And I'm terrible at writing introductions, so I usually just say "I do stuff on the internet".
But uh, I do all sorts of activist-y stuff, work on radical FOSS (see http://cryto.net/~joepie91/manifesto.html), write (educational) stuff, am more or less a lonely polyamorous gender blob of indeterminate sexuality who likes both cuddles and kinky things, and I always have 10 times as many projects as I have time for, as is customary with ADHD brain :) Sometimes I even finish some of them!
While I'm an introvert and need plenty of time to myself, I *am* happy to meet like-minded people and spend time with them, and as long as you're not a bigot or apologist, you should feel free to interact with me and/or follow me!
Also, I live in Rosmalen (near Den Bosch) in the Netherlands, and honestly would like to get to know more local folks, and I also have some vague intention to start a queer hackerspace around here if I can find enough interested people. Eventually!
Hi, I'm Calc! I run my own Misskey instance (which anyone is free to join).
You can see all my links to other resources in my profile.
I'm a...
#artist, #computerscience major, #linux user, #sysadmin, #furry, and much more.
I follow people I find cool! Feel free to follow me too

I'm a Linux system admin and COBOL dev, who recently started moving into web development. That's a trip!
I recently started a YouTube channel called "Veronica Explains". It's about Linux with a dash of retro. Some folks call me "Linux Mom" and that works for me!
Quick link to subscribe: http://pleasesubscri.be
I'm here to connect with #Linux nerds, #retro nerds, and their associated communities.
Thanks for reading! Hope to see you around!
Veronica Explains
I'm Veronica! I love Linux, old computer hardware, and explaining things. Some folks call me the Linux Mom, and that works for me.YouTube

See yiz around!
Hi, I'm Fionn! 👋 I work on fun tech projects, create electronic music garbage, and capture the odd photograph with my DSLR.
Professionally, I work as a technical writer — and beyond my 9 to 5 — enjoy contributing upstream to open source projects with code and docs.
I'll be posting bits on the above topics here, as well as personal stuff. Giz a follow ❤️
#foss #opensource #technicalwriting #photography #fuji #music #electronicmusic #ireland #cork
I'm Alis! I'm an #sff #author and I love #monsters and so I write books about monsters. I also sometimes (very rarely) draw, and (mostly) play way too many #videogames.
I'm also the admin of fandom.ink, a small #fandom centric Masto instance, inspired by the #tumblr exodus and aimed at #fanart, #fanfic, #RP, and other general fannish content. (Also cat photos.)
So... hi!
I’m Nova, a 33yr queer nonbinary dork with transmasc leanings. Still waiting to feel like a grown up but also happy for that to never happen. I recently started HRT so will likely be posting about that somewhat frequently.
I also talk about BPD and mental health in general. Some of my older writing on BPD can be found on the birbsite: https://twitter.com/haylum/status/1002507716944855042
Also selfies and dog pictures. Often selfies with dogs. Dogsdogsdogs.
(I really like dogs)
I'm a queer Chinese Canadian SFF writer, poet, and Chinese-English translator.
If we know each other from Twitter, please feel free to say hi!

Doing an MA in linguistics, my thesis concerns discursive identity building in a particular privileged consumption community. As a wannabe researcher, I am interested in discursive construction of privileged identities, and the interface between discourse and reality.
Other than that I am a stationery nerd, a computeing geek, and a bookworm on hiatus. 1/2
just ur typical burned out gay (gay as in bi) anarchist trans girl.
currently looking for a part-time job in Berlin.
i like watching/reading gay shit.
i write sometimes but almost never show my stories to anyone.
oh and i also study sometimes. publishing, english and history.
my irl name is mara.
i don't like capital(isation).
Hi! I'm Hex, or Wren, whichever you feel is best, it's all me. I like birds and bird puns, hence the name.
This is an account where I will be mostly posting the end result of Work. There will be personal elements, of course, but this isn't a personal/vent/AD/etc account. I'll have more (pinnable) introductory posts to describe what those are coming up soon, but in the meantime, I'm going to post something we can interact with while I go to my mundane job on the other side of the city.
I do many things, and this account is here to share them with you! I also hope to get more social with the fine folx of this instance, but as I work nights and sleep days, it's going to be a work in progress.
One of the things I do is write! I work mainly in prose, which is occasionally smutty, because I am occasionally a crass person. Any 18+ work will be labeled as such.
I have also begun writing my first computer game! As of "now," I am maybe 10% of the way to a finished product.
I am a terrible music nerd. I will often speak in obscure references, suggest records you may never have heard of, and generally go nuts for good tunes. I consider myself an amateur pop music historienne.
However, if there's one thing I've learned in learning all I have about music, it's that there is always more to learn and to listen to. I absolutely want to hear what you're into and what is missing from my rotation. I love nostalgic sounds, but I don't want to be defined by them.
I also make mixtapes! It's been a minute since I've done so, but I hope to start up again in the near future.
Here's a link: https://www.mixcloud.com/hexwren/
All that's currently posted are what I call Community Mixtapes, done for the queer gaming discord I often hang out on. Everyone who signs up submits 3 tunes, and I pick 1 out of every set and string a tape together from them. I'll be going back to these soon, and am looking to see how Community Tapemaking works on the fediverse.
The last of the bullet points in my profile is one of the hardest to outline. Ludomantic Witchcraft is a theory I have been slowly assembling, the work of which I hope to share here as it develops. Simply put, I love games, almost as much as I love music. From the incredibly simple to the obnoxiously complex, simple acts with cards, dice, boards, pawns, et al. allow us to interact with what one might call fate or fortune. Rule sets are rituals. I have experiments and ideas to share.
I am Skye Wilson, some enby raven, self-taught (and still improving) digital artist, and art enthusiast. I do mostly drawings, for almost all audiences (which also means I do lewd stuff occasionally).
Most of my works are on my FA account. You'll find a link to my profile in my... profile here (this is redundant 😅).
Hi, I'm Peggy, and I run dragon.style. If "maintaining a Patreon to pay the hosting, putting off updating it for a year, and occasionally opening the place up for new users" qualifies as "running" it.
I am a trans lady who spends most of her time drawing complicated sci-fi comics and sort of earning a living doing that via Patreon.
Adobe Illustrator has been my main medium since 2000, it's a pretty unusual choice but it works for me.
I used to do burlesque, then pole dance, as a hobby and a way to stay fit. I miss it and should find something similar again.
You may know me from elsewhere as Egypt Urnash.
I also post art and stuff on my main but this is a techie account!
I'm Locke , 34 fluidy enby thingy, he/they. Australian living in Finland since 2018. Software developer (former CS researcher) with a finger in every pie (cybersec, devops, normal dev, cloud)
I sometimes make music, albeit not in recent times though. Plays strategy games, simracing, and whatever the latest AAA RPG is. I also used to make interactive fiction and teach.
I also love tabletop games, especially D&D and MtG. I'm looking forward to learning what Mastodon is all about!
