Here goes my #introduction
I'm a member of the #TwitterMigration ; retired and living in a midwestern college town. Go Flashes! My passions include:
#Reading history, science and horticulture
#gardening , I am currently #rewilding my yard with #nativeplants ,mostly grown from seed.
#hiking the local parks.
Black rescue #cats I am on my third.
#roadtrips#photography #horseracing #baseball
I love playing in the dirt.
Thanks for reading.

Thanks everyone, I didn't expect such a warm response! We really are the algorithm around here, aren't we?

Please do write an #introduction about yourself, I can't wait to read it!

Hmmm forgot to do an #introduction, shame on me 😂

Mostly I'm here for dog pic's because my real home is @bob

I am all about off grid life. I served 2 years US Army during Desert Storm and came to realize that it was simply murder for CRUD oil.

Since 2011.10.01, I've lived on the streets of the country I swore to defend and see everyday over 13 years how homeless people have ZERO rights even when we are veterans.

I'm fed up with a system that puts money above people. I'm fed up with a country that is ruled by corporations.

Protesting has done nothing to improve the lives of Americans, its time for the UN to issue CEO Hunting Licenses because THEY are supposed to protect citizens from the country they live in.

Time for a new #introduction!

I'm a former #geographer & #mapmaker, now working on a #PhD project in digital #archaeology, between #Prehistory and #openSource #geospatial.

I used to work as an #artist, I'm into #sailing (I was #livingAboard during a few years) and #musicMaking is my happy place. I'm also a happy #dad and I'm fluent in fr, en & es.

Finally, I'm the proud admin of https://Mapstodon.space, a great #Mastodon instance dedicated to maps — & full of decent and interesting people!

Hi! 👋 This is my new account post-social media detox (sometimes you need to Marie Kondo your digital life).

Mastodon settler since '22. Migrated from X when it went full Lord of the Flies.

About me: I write under a pen name in CA. Currently crafting a noir mystery with a comedic bite—originally sci-fi (genre rebellion is real, folks).

Interests: #arts#books#music#nature#photography + more

Follow-backs for humans. Bots: Go bother a captcha.

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.

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!

<STREEEEEETCH>

It's good to see me, isn't it? This is my new #introduction to my new locale. I get more characters to type. YAY! I don't always talk a lot, but I dislike having something like 13 /🧵 when I can put it all in one LOOONG message.

I used to be on the bird site, and the path to Nuclear Oatmeal is just one that you had to have been there, and you probably weren't, so it's just going to be a mystery. Not a very intriguing mystery, but a definable one, nonetheless.

Ok, so bullet points, because why not?

* Anxiety Disorder. Meds help quite a bit. Not 100%, but meh.
* #ActuallyAutistic, and rocking it.
* Computer Geek, and game player
* Cishet and a spouse, along with being parent of 2 trans kids. I will cut you if you think about messing with them.

I follow @Alice . She's cool.

I ALSO FOLLOW @LRRRonEarth . HE WANTS TO DESTROY HUMANITY. I DON'T THINK THAT'S COOL!

IT MIGHT BE NEEDED THOUGH.

Not much else to put up here, but I may surprise you tomorrow. Probably not.

If you’ve just left Twitter/X or Bluesky, welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

You should also follow @FediTips for more detailed advice.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.
