</p><p>I celebrate masculine men, preferable bears, cubs and dads. I enjoy adventures with other men and will occasionally share stories about them. I also enjoy military and sport clothing and am leather curious and have started out as a dominant/master exploring my kinky side.</p>

Will<p>This is probably my first post on any social media in years, so here we go.</p><p>Hello, I'm a neurodivergent full-stack software engineer from the UK. I use Ruby on Rails in my job, but I'm fairly familiar with Python, it being my first programming language.</p><p>I use Linux as my daily driver, having used Ubuntu for maybe 10 years or more, before recently switching to Arch Linux + KDE Plasma.</p><p>I'm currently interested in self-hosting/homelabbing, so I have my own Gitea instance for personal use, although I might change to Forgejo soon. As part of this I've also been learning a lot about containers, virtual machines and configuration as code.</p><p>I'm mainly going to be using this account as a way of sharing knowledge as I research whatever I'm doing, but hopefully in the future most of that will live in a blog for you all to read. I've also recently joined a repair café as a volunteer, so you may occasionally get some posts related to that.</p><p>Other interests include gaming, cooking, baking, music, philosophy, science and maths. I'm also learning to see things from the solarpunk perspective. I'm currently playing The Talos Principle 2 (one of the best games I have ever played).</p><p>Oh, and I have a cat so I will definitely be posting her here.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a></p>
Faith, purple-haired feminist :v_tg: :v_lb: :v_greyace:<p>New country. New <a href="https://anarres.family/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> </p><p>Hi! I'm Faith, a trans girl from the US who's currently living in Canada. 🇨🇦</p><p>Long time followers will know me as the girl who writes long trauma rambles. I've written more the equivalent of the entire <em>Lord of the Rings</em> trilogy (possibly including <em>The Hobbit</em>) on this account, mostly typing into my phone and I'm the reason our server allows more than 10k characters. 😂 (I do usually CW the really long ones, though.)</p><p>I'm hoping to do a little less trauma posting this year. Not because that isn't good and valuable but because I'm really hoping that this year is a year of growth for me, not just recovery and healing. I'm hoping to make some local friends, learn makeup, wear cute sundresses and generally enjoy the life I've spent the last three years trying to get to. </p><p>For fun, I enjoy good food, whether I make it myself or not. I also like being out and about in the city, whether shopping or just going for a coffee. I also enjoy travel. I do a decent amount of that for work but I'm hoping to take more fun trips and see more than just hotel conference rooms. My partner and I are also looking forward to exploring Canada a bit as neither of us have seen much of it outside a couple of city centers.</p><p>As for why I'm here on Fedi, that's mostly to find and connect with other queer and especially trans folks. I love sharing my story and connecting with other people's stories.</p>

David Todd McCarty<p>This is sort of a strange sideways compliment, but I think one of the main differences between Mastodon and Facebook is not the algorithm or the corporate influence, the advertising or the disinformation. It’s the fact that people are just smarter here. As an aggregate. Fewer stupid people.</p><p>There just might be something to the idea of making it slightly difficult to join. We all know it’s not that difficult, but if you can’t get past that, do we really want you here?</p><p><a href="https://me.dm/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://me.dm/tags/Introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Introduction</span></a></p>
