Hello people of Mastodon! Here's my #Introduction! :)
I'm Will. I live in Colorado. I've loved birds my whole life, but have only recently started #Birding seriously.
I like going on long hikes with my camera to see what I can find and photograph. I'll be posting pics of some of my wildlife encounters here.

Here's a Mountain Bluebird who was checking me out on a very windy day.

#introduction #electronica #darkwave Hello! I'm Cat Hall- a singer and lyricist for a mostly electronic band called Dissonance. We have a new album coming out on Dec 18th. :-) I hope you'll introduce yourselves to me so I can figure out how to follow you. Looking forward to getting to know you and this mastodon thing.

As I have so many new followers I thought a little intro might be good.
I am a sex blogger first and foremost. Been writing my blog coming up on 13 years. It is words but also lots of pictures that are 99% self portraits.
I am very in love with my husband @Signs We have a kinky D/s thing. We've been married 11 years but together 13 yrs. He is a Murrican who left the USA to come be here in the UK with me. As a result I speak both US English & Brit English 😂
#introduction, again because I changed servers.
I am a Mum, a Wife and a dog lover. I was single, working in IT and running my own business when life took a turn in 2008 after getting glandular fever. I was forced to slow down and medically retire. I ended up being diagnosed with #mecfs #POTS and #fibromyalgia. I am mostly homebound and at times bedridden.
My loves are my dogs, my veggie and herb garden, cooking and wordle.
Official #Introduction post
Hey all! I'm Aakosir, a Panromantic furry Momma in my 30s, SplinterFox fursuiter, candle and soap artisan, small business owner, nature loving leftist pagan, beginner homesteader and ex Vet tech. My goal is to have a mostly self sustaining ranch in Colorado or similar state, with animal therapy camps and sessions.
My fursuit is of Kamilla, my alt werewolf fursona.
I have several socials so you might know me from elsewhere.
My name is Josh. In addition to what's in my bio, I'm a band geek, a Trekkie, a MSTie, a sports fan (mostly Miami and Detroit teams), former sports announcer, occasional party DJ, political junkie, map geek, amateur city planner, and future collector of traffic control devices (it's an expensive hobby). I'm your standard-issue cishet white dude, and I proudly stand up for my LGBTQIA+ and POC loved ones.
rights are inherent.
Came here from the bird site!
#Introduction
Even if it doesn't die I think I'll stick around cause this place seems to align with my lefty values much more.
I am mainly focused on spreading the gospel of the mechanical expression of videogames. My Youtube channel is mostly devoted to that.
These two are the best examples of my work:

Otherwise, you can expect me to post about:
#politics #gamedesign #popculture #socialism
Algorithms can't tell you what to think. They can tell you what to think about.
I'm going to make this my #introduction Toot. My name is Matthew and I was born and live in England, though I've also lived in #France and traveled widely.
I'm an #Anarchist #Buddhist - two things that might not seem obviously related, yet in truth they are. I care deeply for people and planet: #inequality and #ClimateJustice are two sides of one coin. We must find a new narrative, a new social contract. We have to learn to live in #peace.
We must engage with current #social, #economic, and #political paradigms and seek to reimagine them to be fit for purpose, because currently they are not.
Extractive patriarchal capitalism is destroying the #ecosphere, and our communities. #ClimateChange is a symptom, not the problem. The symptom will only alleviate when the problem is addressed.
Polishgirl in Berlin. For rent and food I do translation EN to DE and PL to DE.
However, I got there via freelance journalism and those roots still hold. I rarely say no to an interesting article request if it comes from one of the newspapers I wrote for or a comparable one.
When the world seems cold and cynical, I grab myself a fresh canvas. Paintings on erfasert and pixelfed.
Interests: Climate, Energy (solar), fight against the rise of fashism. May contain traces of dog pics
#introduction I’m Jim, been computering professionally for 20-something years. The last 7 or so have been in security, though it’d be better described as ops or SRE for the tools used by security folks who really know what’s up. Love doing a CTF or reversing something every now and again tho
I’ve been a T1D for almost my whole life, so well over 45 years. Happy to enjoy a career that provides insurance/insulin that’s for sure
Live in the PacNW of the US, but work remotely for a Midwest-based retailer
I like dogs, mild satire, salt & vinegar chips, black licorice, and coffee with cream. All other interests ebb and flow
Hey Everyone, I'm Bronwen, moved over to Cult of Shiv from Mastodon.lol. Been on Mastodon for a couple of weeks and part of the Great Twitter Migration of 2022. I'm a left leaning socialist, intersectional feminist, aspiring writer, motor racing fan, mildly chaotic, ADHD, OCD and Bi. Happy to be here! #Introduction #TwitterMigration
For your first day on Mastodon, just a few humbly suggested steps! Welcome to the party!
1) Consider if you're on the server for you, your hobbies, and your moderation desires. You can always migrate your account, later. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/
2) Make a profile! These can be longer than Twitter ones - and you can format them with line breaks, italics (using asterix), and loads of emoji if your server supports markup. Check the emoji on your server, here! https://emojos.in/
3) If you liked who you followed on Twitter, use https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/ and/or https://fedifinder.glitch.me/ to create a csv of all the people you followed there to upload into Mastodon, using the web menu option Preferences > Import. Now you are following the same folks!
4) Using https://debirdify.pruvisto.org/, you can also export your Twitter blocklist, and import it using the same function in Mastodon.
5) Create an introduction post! Use lots of hashtags to help people find you and your interests, as there's no algorithm or string search function here. Make sure to add the hashtag introduction!
6) Get used to using hashtags in your posts regularly, so that people can find them manually or using the hashtag following function, or the rss feed function.
7) Use CWs liberally, to help people decide what to see. Follow your server's guidelines, but definitely CW those movie spoilers!
8) Use alt text in your images whenever possible, to help people with screen readers enjoy it here, too!
9) Enjoy your new community, and have a lot of fun!
Ok, Mastodon…let’s try this out.
I’m still gonna stick around over on Twitter until the bitter end, but I want to try to get this new world figured out in the meantime!
Any tips…?
Okay #mastodon …I’m new to this place. What are some tips to get started?
I must say I’m pretty happy here. I’m completely refreshed and don’t feel like I’m beating my head against the wall anymore. I’ve got my Mastodon toots going automatically to the Bird Site, but I will likely take that down at the end of the week.
Let me know if you’re liking it here as well and I will boost your reply so others will see you and follow you.
