introduction

2/4 obligatory #introduction: Music dork. Played in bands through my teens and 30s, still go to shows a few times a month, and host a weekly radio show on Ohio music history called Six Degrees of Ohio.

3/4 obligatory #introduction: Also deep in amateur radio (KB8QPT) — QRP, CW, digital modes on HF, and lately poking at Meshtastic. Built an Elecraft K1 and K2 over the years.

#Introduction

Common Weal is a people-powered, non-party-aligned, pro-independence "think and do" tank in Scotland.

Some of our biggest issues are social and economic equality, participative democracy, environmental sustainability, wellbeing, quality of life, peace, justice and cooperation.

Our motto #AllOfUsFirst reflects that our society is only as resilient as our most vulnerable member.

Our ultimate goal is to build an independent Scotland that puts All of Us First.

New Instance. :)
Hello everyone. My name is Sacha(He/Him/They) and I am an Indy comic artist and illustrator from Gatineau, Québec. I speak French and English.

My main comic project right now is a historical YA comic called Seeds of Spring, with the writer Christoper Coquard. It's the the biography Peter Kropotkin, a former russian noble turned anarchist, told from the prespective of a current day tennager, learning to reconnect with her Mi'kmaq heritage, with the help of her grandparents. The books are published with Microcosm Publishing and I have the PDF's available on my Ko-Fi https://ko-fi.com/sacharavenda66232/shop

I am also always actively taking commissions for DnD and TTRPG character, as well as freelance in 2D art for games, storyboards and illustration for books, album covers etc. Feel free to contact me if you would like me to draw something for you :)

I also try to boost other creators work as much as I can. I also boost random stuff tangential to my work like concept art, movie stuff, old JRPG related things, art history, and the occasional bad joke.

#introduction
My name is Larissa, but my friends call me Lari 🫶
I’m born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (carioca da gema) ☀️
I’m an electronics and software engineer building free and open source software at Tekoporã 💚
I can not live without the sun, the sand and the ocean, I never say no to a beach day 🌊
I love exploring the arts (making ceramics, painting, playing the piano…) and embracing the joy of not being the best at any of them. ✨

#introduction
Reintroducing myself, it's been a while.
and it is a good time since I quietly released a new modular work yesterday! Some of the stuff from phone recorded toots.

I'm Elif, electronic music maker in London. I lead the electronic music pathway at an institution, curate a couple of live electronics nights, and co-host a programme on pioneering electronic music on Resonance FM called Talk to the Chip.

I like connecting with people here, and exploring what others are making. Wish I'd joined in properly earlier: I actually made an account years ago that disappeared before I did anything with it. Never too late though, and it’s been great to be actively in touch with you fedimates! This place re-encouraged me to actually talk to people about music and other things.

Other than music things, I occasionally write on politics and science and reading and cycling, and I may sometimes rant and post grumpy updates but I attempt to add a CW tag for them.

Music update - Haven't told anyone yet as I feel discouraged or am not very good at telling people about my own works despite updating my website repeatedly, and I'm not good at curating shiny music videos, but with fediverse, it has changed a bit especially after your insights on my question whether it is still worth releasing music.

So, if you want to listen to my fresh from the oven "album" here it goes: I called it Self-Oscillation and named the tracks in the most boring literal way. but the feeling behind it is not lazy, as I wanted this instrument for a long time. These are from my own modular, spanning May, June, July 2026, left mostly untouched, presented as is. For now, have a listen: https://hazalelif.bandcamp.com/album/self-oscillation

And now tell or update me about what you do and ask questions if you would like to!

#introductions

Psst, do you need some cool music to listen to? Or perhaps want to share your thoughts on an album you love?

Dig if you will the 1001 Other Albums project, a collective effort of over 130 Fedizens to create "The List" of over 1001 recommended and often over-looked albums from all genres and more than 115 different places/peoples (https://1001otheralbums.com/the-list/)! Think "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die", but, like, NOT just Western pop. We chose these albums not because of popularity or influencers or algorithms, but rather because they’re important to us personally as Certified Major Music Nerds™️ and/or represent bands/genres/peoples not given enough love in 'official' lists.

As part of the project, for the last 2.5+ years we've featured an album from The List every few days on the 1001 Other Albums blog (https://1001otheralbums.com/). These spotlights are written by either guest Fedizen contributors or project steward @buffyleigh, and are automatically cross-posted in full to the Fediverse at @1001otheralbums.com. New spotlights are also hand-summarized and linked here on linernotes.club. The plan is to eventually look at every album on The List, and so far we’ve spotlit 270 albums! Sometimes we also do some extra fun things like Fedi-wide AOTY lists, fake festivals, and Fedi-sourced oral history posts.

Everything in the 1001 OA project - The List, the spotlights, the summaries, the header images, the alt text, etc. - is conceived, developed, and constructed using human intelligence only.

Give us a follow here and/or the blog, I bet you'll hear something you dig. And, if you want to share your thoughts on one of the albums not yet featured via guest post, OR want to add your favourite albums that aren't yet on The List, hmu!

Explorer at heart, traveler by choice. My passion lies in motion—from classic railway routes and ocean voyages to discovering hidden corners of new cities. I’m always plotting the next journey, eager to experience new cultures, landscapes, and perspectives along the way. #Introduction

I'm super late for my biannual re-#introduction post... Whoops! 😅

Anyway, I'm slanderoid. I'm just some guy from a tiny #rural village in Midwest, USA. I came to #Mastodon after #Twitter turned into a medical waste dumpster fire back in 2022. I'm turning 40 in a week and I feel weird about it

I'm a #geek. (Or a #nerd, I'm not sure which.) I love #horror of all kinds. I used to play a lot of #VideoGames but not so much, lately. I'm more into #movies and #music at the moment. I love #books and I can often be found #reading something. My wife and I run a big #LittleFreeLibrary from our front lawn. We've got some big plans for it next year!

I recently launched a website full of my #writing over at https://notaherostory.com. #NotAHeroStory has been my dream for many years and it's cool that, after some hard work, time, and dedication, it finally exists! If you're into #fantasy, #comedy, #LitRPG, or #beer, you should check it out. It's 94% free!

If you're new here, welcome! 😄

#introduction

Hello (again), after a brief posting hiatus and a search for somewhere to migrate to, I am back on Mastodon! I've been on the fediverse since 2023 but grew tired of the mastodon.social experience and felt like it was time to spread my wings.

A bit about me: I'm a 30-something fellow living in midwestern USA who works two jobs and takes care of two pets at home. I love #retrocomputing #retrogaming #writing #webdesign #electronicmusic #nature and many more things I can't think to list at the moment.

I manage a community for PC gaming on 4:3 displays that has gained a significant following in recent times, you can check us out on #neocities here: https://doesit4by3.neocities.org/

Sometimes when I have free time and feel motivated (lol) I will write a few thousand words on tech and tech-adjacent subjects. You can read my work here: https://read-only.net/

All other relevant things I've shared on the web can be found on various parts of my website: https://rootcompute.neocities.org/

Glad to have found somewhere to land on my feet and I hope I'll be able to call c.im home on the fediverse for many years to come!

Hi, I'm Nat. I draw silly, little comics about my life and things I find important. I'd like to give the Fediverse a try because I'm tired of fighting predatory social media, algorithms, and poop-faces of tech bros.

Let's hang out and be nice to each other. #Introduction

#introduction It was on my todo list for a long time and now I'm #newhere - writing in En and De, darum auch #neuhier

Interested in #Switzerland #swisspolitics #education #foss #digitalsustainability #gardening #SchweizerPolitik #Bildung #DigitaleNachhaltigkeit #gärtnern #AI #generativeAI #fediverse

I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.

Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)
