Hello Fediverse, my name is Eric, I'm a journalist based out of Toronto working for an online publication called PressProgress.

Most of my work focuses on the activity of Doug Ford's Ontario government.

I've produced a number of award-winning podcasts and I have a background in web development. I guess you can say I'm a bit of a coding and podcasting and reporting guy.

I'm very interested in the Fediverse's potential and I'm glad to be here.

#introduction #newhere

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.

I got caught up on the kerfuffle over on Bluesky.

Jeebus. Really, Jay?

If you're coming over to Mastodon from Bluesky, welcome! I hope you find this space fulfilling. It's not perfect, but it's been good enough for me since about 2018.

For those of us who are Mastodon vets, please boost the introduction posts, and make our new friends welcome.

#introduction #newhere

Hallo!
Hello!
Привет!
toki a!

I'm new here on Conlang Network. :)
I've been part of the conlanging hobby since I was a young teenager, but I've not worked on anything conlang-related in quite a while.

I've pursued #linguistics in university because of my #conlanging hobby; and I'm a professional in the translation/localisation industry, specialising in video games and other media.

I speak #German and #English natively ( #bilingual) and have been learning a bit of #Russian on the side. I am fluent in #tokipona, which I've been learning for over seven years now.

Hello from my shiny new profile on @mastoart.social #NewHere #introduction #welcome

My name is Rom|Tapas in the Sun. Many of you may know me from @photog.social. I am passionate about photography and have been documenting my travels and explorations of Spain since moving there in 2017.

I primarily post black and white photos shot on film using vintage cameras. I also have a darkroom and develop and print my photos.

I've been on a long journey. Now I'm tired.
I left photog.social several hours ago.
I met lots of wonderful people along the way.
I've finally arrived here at mastoart.social.
Thank you to the admins for opening the door for me.

Now I feel safe.

Hi, I'm #NewHere#NeuHier. Not new to Mastodon/Fediverse but new at mastoart.social (thanks for having me here). I'm moving from https://photog.social/@haraldhux . For more details please see my bio.

Once the moving process is done I hope all my follows and followers will be migrated correctly.

Hi Mastodon, Greg here. I just joined the fediverse and I'm excited to learn how everything works.

I'm a scientist studying wildlife interactions with energy infrastructure. I run a blog highlighting current research on this topic. https://www.gregforcey.com

Looking forward to connecting with folks here.
