I'm Lee! I'm a binary trans man from the UK and my pronouns are they/them. I'm grey aroace and also gay.
I'm a big football fan, sitcom fan, and film fan. I also enjoy coffee shops, pubs (but don't drink), art galleries, and museums.
I love Derren Brown and David Hyde Pierce 🥺
I am also chronically ill - I have EDS, HSD, and fibro. I'm also autistic
We are already mutuals. Pronouns? For me, any polite form of address (formal/informal I don't care). Not going write the "War and Peace" version so - writer, SciFi - Fantasy - Horror - Paranormal action/adventure - historical drama - horror, etc...
Designing/coding a new website for my author site - will include a sketch pad, a library, a vague intro, a blog (when I can get it to work), plus... whatever whimsies I decide to add on.
So much for a short "hi"...
Guten Tag. Ich bin Sven Himmen und relativ #neuhier
Ich bin Schriftsteller und habe mittlerweile drei Bücher und zwei Comicbände veröffentlicht. Alle erschienen im Selbstverlag.
Aktuell arbeite ich an meinem nächsten Buch, das hoffentlich in wenigen Monaten erscheinen wird.
Ich möchte heute ein wenig über meine bisherigen Werke reden. Vielleicht interessieren sie euch ja.
Für einen Boost wäre ich euch unendlich dankbar.

One of the things I keep hearing here, over and over, is that "new" people on this platform shouldn't complain about things they find confusing or that don't meet their needs.
That's exactly wrong. New users, who've not yet adapted themselves to possibly unworkable or inscrutable interfaces and limitations, are often in a unique position to have insights that old hands can no longer see.
Perhaps you're tired of hearing the same complaints over and over. But think about why people make them.
I think you might need to make some ornaments that playback videos...
@Bronwen Hi, I'm Ciara, she/her. I'm an Irish trans woman living in deepest rural Ireland. I'm actually an engineer by training, but never ended up working in that, along the way I've worked for a private investigations company before ending up in IT training for a good while.

Fascist Party, er, GOP idiocy
Via Brad Moss:
2011 called, they want their performative patriotism back.
Kevin McCarthy:
On the very first day of the new Republican-led Congress, we will read every single word of the Constitution aloud from the floor of the House—something that hasn't been done in years.
Hey! #introduction
I am Software Manager/Engineer working for a small company in the UK. We mostly build industrial/lab focused products. #Flutter #Python
Have a PhD in Computer Science but my passion is building great software that people actually want to use!
Also enjoy #running, currently playing around with #rust also learning #japanese (#日本語) 私の日本語は下手です。
Looking forward to following interesting people!
Thanks! ありがと。@nova for running the server!
Can we make #FollowBackFriday a thing on here (if it isn't already)? Everyone put a quick #introduction below, with pronouns if you can, and tell us a bit about yourself. Like, boost and follow as many people who reply as possible. Let's make meaningful connections away from the hell-site
Hey there! I'm Harrison, he/him.
I'm an #IndieDev, creator of Cat Herder, a puzzle game about literally herding cats!
I mostly post development updates and cute cat videos. Here's a link to my actual #introduction, if you're curious: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@SwitchbackStudio/109365352384893107
We're a group of #Wikipedians and self-described #openaccess nerds working to give more people the confidence to join the movement.
#Highered instructors use our free tools to have students edit Wikipedia as an assignment. Scholars take our #Wikidata & #Wikipedia courses to start their own projects and commune with fellow knowledge enthusiasts. And thousands take part in editing events through the Programs & Events Dashboard we help maintain.
We're happy to be here with you all!
Put simply, they only cared about our opinion over there because they were using it too. If they are not having access to this, we can hashtag all day and they won't even open the page.
There is a difference between letting a corporation use something and letting them run something and the moderation is important.
So that's about it. Why we think it's important to allow businesses to have a voice.
Someone asked why we allow brands and promotion in our feeds. Some of the greatest things about the bird were. Small Businesses and Individuals met on the same platform as corporations giving them an equal ground but more importantly...
It allowed us on mass to hold business accountable. We took to their pages in protest! We changed the way their business operated by using the same platform they used to reach us! We became unignorable!
If we don't let them talk, they will no longer listen!
Just to put our https://snipesocial.co.uk users at ease, Snipesocial isn't going anywhere. For 9 years we have supported Diversity, equality and freedom and the millions of visitors every month are inside a strong self-funded ecosystem.
Snipe has opted to add to the vast network of mastodon sites to offer both our existing users and any users moving to mastodon the opportunity to use it with our long standing reputation and policies. Snipe itself is now 11 years old and here to help.
Might as well redo my #Introduction since it's been a while.
Hi! Name's Jessica, or Jess, or Jessie, or Swift Crescendo, or a number of other aliases I've used over the years. Great to meet y'all!
I'm a neurodivergent trans gal in tech, making her way through all this as best as any one person can.
My day job is as a penetration tester for a major consultancy in the US, with a dedicated focus on applications, which loosely means just about anything that uses HTTP as its transport protocol.
I believe in mentorship and standing on the shoulders of giants, giving credit where it is most due, and always taking the time to help those who will come after me.
I may not be perfect, but I try my best.
Outside of work, I am a pretty avid gamer, particularly in #ffxiv where I am honored to help run a large community, and in whichever other games catch my interest. Also love #ttrpgs, board games, and Magic the Gathering. Trying to get into Warhammer 40k, but it's fairly intimidating as a newbie.
I adore music: primarily classical, classic rock, and jazz, but if it sounds good I'll give it a listen. I sing, dabble in producing/composition, and would love to nerd out with you about music theory.
Yes, I still love my pastel-colored equines. Still trying (and failing) to write the next great #cyberpunk novel, and still get way too into my sports fandoms.
What to expect from me? Honestly...shitposting. I try to not take this social media thing too seriously after narrowly missing making a career out of it. Generally will post some musings on whatever's on my mind (including #infosec, but honestly not as much as I probably should)
Did I miss anything? Probably! Feel free to ask or just start a conversation if you've got something to say!
#introduction I’m Pat. I’m an anatomical and clinical #pathologist in the NYC metro area; I have an MD and am boarded AP/CP with sub specialty boards in #microbiology. I have interests in the pathology of #infectiousdisease and the #microbiome role in health and disease.
