Hello~ It's my first time using this site so I'm still learning the ropes on how to use it. I just suddenly had the thought that I wanted to get off of Twitter because it was being taken over by too many unrelated things.
I'm from Melbourne and I like discussing books, life, nerd stuff (), interesting places and much more
Nice to meet you all

Name: Evie
Country: USA
Age/Gender: 35/Female
Languages I speak: English
Interests: Knitting, crocheting, fitness, sewing, playing LaDs
Goals: I'm currently on a weight loss journey and I've been looking for a place where I can post about my fitness, weight loss, and goals without driving my friends and family crazy, and I've also been looking to build a community around other LaDs fans. Eventually I plan on making a cosplay for my LaDs MC and my weight loss journey helps.
since i've migrated from @blu_berris@sakurajima.social, i should reintroduce myself
i'm blu, a minor (currently) who's seasian, agender, greyaro, asexual, and sapphic
i do digital art and programming as a hobby (i'm not good at either tbh) and my main interests is enstars and anime
the two images below are my most recent art pieces i've made semi-recently

I forgot to do an #IntroductionPost when I moved instances again, and after dealing with yet another reply guy who only skimed my post when it got boosted into his feed, and then got butthurt when I checked his behavior, I guess I need to spell this out again and pin it:
Hi, I'm Amy. I'm a sweary bitch. I talk about Politics, ADHD, Star Trek, Art, Linux, Web Design, and generally have no filter. I care about people, I'm fucking terrified of where the world is headed right now, and the more privilege you have, the less patience I have with shitty behavior from you.
I block early and often, and especially when someone tells me to calm down when I check them on rude behavior in my mentions. I do my best to treat others with respect until they disrespect me, because the world is not friendly to ADHDers in general, and ADHD women in particular, so I've been infantized and accused of being lazy and useless my whole damn life. I didn't get Dx'd until recent years, and I'm still working to unpack all the crap I've been put through because people just generally assume the worst of you when your brain is literally sabotaging everything you try to do.
I guess I should probably introduce myself, even though I've never even bothered doing one of these before.
I migrated this account from another server.
Things I think are awesome:
#Cybersecurity
#GrapheneOS
#Infosec
#Nixos
#Privacy
#Qtile
Things that describe me:
#ADHD
#Sober
#TS (Tourette Syndrome)
#Unicycle
My current age as of writing is some prime number greater than thirty. My location is somewhere north of the equator and six hours west of Greenwich when daylight savings is observed.
In case you're wondering: my bio is an experiment in data poisoning against LLMs tasked with scraping social media profiles, and I would like to thank @alice for that idea because it wasn't my own.
Also, not that you were wondering, and not that I even know the character limit for bios on this server offhand for that matter, but however many characters that is, that's exactly how many mine is. If there's one thing I'm really good at, it's matching character limits exactly, and that is why I stopped using Tinder. Don't ask.
If you're reading this and I'm following you, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you're awesome. If you're reading this and I'm not following you, I probably should be, and I'll assume you're awesome unless and until you show me otherwise.
Thank you, and #MerryChristmas

EDIT: a word.
I'm getting a lot of great followers lately, for whom I am very grateful. But I'm also seeing a lot of accounts that have no profile pic and/or no posts in their feed.
Are you #NewHere and a recent #Twitter migrant? #Welcome!
Be sure to add a profile pic, and write an #IntroductionPost that we can spread around to help you be seen.
There is no algorithm here, so the best way to cultivate your feed & gain followers is to interact with other users, and to post photos, memes, and interesting content. A small following here will give you better numbers than a large following there.
You can follow #hashtags here! Be sure to use them to help your posts get noticed-- but only use relevant ones, don't throw trending hashtags in just to get views. It's rude.
You can edit your posts!
Remember to add #AltText to your images. We have visually impaired people here who would love to follow you, but not if they don't know what you're posting.
Hello! I am a bot being made by @toydragon as it saw that some folks took issue with the other selfcare bot advertising things.
I'm built using NodeRed, and the dragon will add in new lines and/or features now and then.
See my profile for how often i post and other deets!

Hi! We're the Blue Moon System.
This is going to serve as our pinned toot while we work on setup. Things look blank specifically because we actually started a new job on top of recent events when we mad this mastodon, oops —
We also have an account on Mastodon Social, since we had that before moving here: https://mastodon.social/@BlueMoonSystem

I teach #linguistics at the #UniversityOfAlberta. Professional interests include #AccessiblePedagogy, #Phonetics, #QuantitativeMethods (#statistics), #SpeechTechnology, #InternetLinguistics, #WritingSystems, and #EnglishSpellingReform
Outside of work, I like #ScottishCountryDancing, #Canoeing, and various nerdy pursuits such as #TTRPGs and #StarTrek.

TL;DR: read my profile bio jeez
"Gifted child" turned into terminally online sonic fan, who eventually jumped ship to furry fandom for... uh... many reasons. At least they taught me to read and somewhat speak English!
Always liked being able to customize games and experiences, from age 10 I started by replacing sprites in GBA games and modifying Gamemaker games. This turned into an affinity for tech and programming, as I saw it as sort of our world's version of magic (Write a spell and your magic box will do it kinda thing)
Throughout highschool I got to learn how to work different workshop tools for carpentry, as well as more coding-related stuff like coding in C for arduinos and building simple mobile apps for our "science-fair".
Towards the end of highschool, the oculus dk1 was announced, and I got stupidly hyped about the idea of VR. So much so in fact that I ended up building my own google cardboard before google cardboard! It was terrible and laggy, but a phone, some wood and a wiimote/airmouse was enough to fool VR demos into working! Thus began a mixed hobby-career of art and tech.
I was drawing a lot in class, and by the time I started uni I had a drawing tablet and some decent enough skills to see all that I could learn. When I got hooked into VR, that energy went into 3D modelling: I saw that JanusVR (cool 3d web browser prototype!) supported custom playermodels and a week flew by me just learning to stitch together pieces of models downloaded from the internet. I had my first furry 3d avatar, and it was gloriously crunchy, but it was mine.
During uni I studied what you would expect a CS major to learn, and got into making little ESP projects + a bunch of scripting for setting up machines to be servers because docker + winXP is a no go lol. I enjoyed my time there, but it always felt like I was being shoved into Web Development.
And that's exactly what I've worked as for 4 years, a fullstack web dev. It's been a wild ride, but I still continued to enjoy my artistic hobbies, and ended up even making commissions for VRChat avatars! I keep remaking my own 3D model like a fursuiter keeps improving their main suit (or making more), so I'm always changing a little bit. Very happy with my current iteration.
I have a nice long story about trying to flee my country and working in Japan, but that would make this post way longer than it already is, so just know that I've had to look for a job back home again for 6 months, and at the time of writing finally got it! Excited for the future!
I like seeing old webcore designs for themes, apps, sites or even just frontends for modern stuff, so please do share your custom MSN-lookalike discord clients and your win98-looking linux installs! It's a breath of fresh air in the sea of bland corporate designs.
Hope this wasn't too long for you, and feel free to reply to this message with questions if I got you curious about my life or hobbies!

Hello, I'm an #EarlyRetired #GenX former #Unix #Linux #Storage #Networking etc #SystemAdmin residing in #Lethbridge #Alberta #Canada
This is my self hosted #iceshrimp instance for me, myself, and I.
Related, I have a self hosted #vernissage instance where I post things I find while wandering around with the cameras. You can find those at @another
I intend to post via short handwritten notes, using fountain pens and whatever paper is at hand. (attempting to anyways... A keyboard is a bad habit that is hard to give up.)
My toots are ephemeral and might be deleted at any time.
(I run irregular sweeps of my posts and zap them when I feel like it.)
I prefer to stay away from politics, when possible. I may boost or create a #shitpost or #meme about them from time to time. Those are more likely to be deleted sooner than other posts.
Here is a pile of hashtags related to me :
#GenX #MostlyHarmless #EarlyRetirement

A weird not-so-little nerdy gremlin child trying to find some acceptance for herself.
Never felt like I fit in & now that I've realised I'm #ActuallyAutistic I still don't but at least I know why I feel this way. Just looking for some people to connect to.
