Time for an intro update!
Hi all, I'm Gem (Ikkle Gemz).
I'm a disabled female & I love Disney, anime, Japanese & Korean stuff, cats, KDramas, Neighbours, tech, gaming & more. I also love the Fediverse & checking out new servers/instances & run a few of my own. I've also discovered an interest in privacy products
I'm also on here using variations of my nickname. Some I don't use as much now that I have my own instances/servers.
Feel free to ask questions.
I've just moved to a new instance, so I think an #introduction is in order. I write a lot about #comics and comics fandom. My book on #Webcomics was nominated for Eisner Award in 2021. I also do the "Incidental Iconography" column for Jack Kirby Collector and I blog at KleefeldonComics.com.
I've got a day job, too, but you don't want to hear about that.
#introduction : This is my second day on Mastodon which I joined to share a story I broke on the Apple beat @gruber, the OG.
I edit the only immigration news boutique at the White House, Congress, and Supreme Court.
I'm from Chile by way of Missouri. I covered Congress for Vanity Fair before Migrant Insider. My dog is Roxy.
Elsewhere I post about mostly about ICE these days. Here I post about #immigration, plus gentler topics, like #art, #design, #culture, and of course, the #tech industry:
Po wielu dniach przygody z wyborem, instalacją i konfiguracjęlą fedi serwera GoToSocial, myślę że to już będzie to. Próbowałom Friendici ale jednak topornie się tego używało, po długim czasie mastodonowania. Swoje kolektywy przerzucę tylko na swojego Mobilizona, bo i eventy tam są i standardowe wpisy (ogłoszenia grup). Może uda się dla niego wydzielić ścieżkę fedi.nemo.earth/groups zamiast używać kolejnej subdomeny.
Pierwotnie byłom na pol.socialu, ale zaczęły mi przeszkadzać częste przerwy w działaniu. Chmurę też swoją już mam xD
No i ponownie się przedstawię:
Aktywiszcze i programiszcze. Prowadzę trzeźwe i wegańskie życie. Jestem niebinarne w trakcie HRT, z adhd i w spektrum autyzmu. Choruję na stwardnienie rozsiane. Gram na perkusji, głównie punkową muzykę. Żyję w Rawiczu i we Wrocławiu. A i używam Arch Linuxa.
#introduction #gotosocial
Jestem oficjalnym kontem spotkań o Linuxie i Wolnym Oprogramowaniu w Zielonce na Kolejowej 11.
Przychodzę z @[email protected] (konto zostanie zmigrowane, jak tylko serwer wróci do żywych)
Mon #introduction version 2026 :
Je travaille dans @CodeursEnLiberte, je m'occupe des questions de santé et de travail (#autogestion, #RPS, #autonomie), tout en poursuivant des études de master 2 en sociologie du travail à #nantes.
Avant, j'ai été bibliothécaire et j'ai fait de l' #educpop sur le numérique.
J'aime le #metal (la musique), la politique (gauchiste, féministe, technocritique), chanter, lire, penser, imaginer, les personnes qui prennent soin, les #podcasts et les @BoiteAlivres
Hello 👋 After an afternoon tidying and podcast listening I've decided this forkiverse sounds like a good jumping off point to learn more about federated social media.
Generally more of a lurker than a poster, I love to learn about people riding bikes, taking walks, reading, listening, and making things in places nearby or far-flung.
Currently a coffee roaster, based in the North Carolina triangle area with my fiancee and our dog

Polite request for folks to say in their introduction or bio where they live (unless there's a personal safety reason why you can't, of course).
Be as specific or as general as you like, but it's nice to know at minimum what country people hail from.
I'm not super sure what's up with that Search Engine podcast or that #forkiverse tag, but I, for one, welcome the new denizens of the fediverse. Hello hello 👋
Hot tips:
- fill in your profiles with at least *some*content (doesn't have to be complex or a lot!) That tells other users you're not a bot.
- post an #introduction, as many of you have been doing 🤘
- follow hashtags and users that look interesting to you! There is no algorithm. The algorithm is you - and boosting!
Hello #forkiverse ! I'm Shelby. I'm a chronic hobby-switcher, reader/writer, and moderately neglectful plant mom (which I'm working on). I'm also a drug and addiction policy researcher.
I was eating breakfast when I heard the #searchengine episode about the fediverse. Whether we're recreating something old or making something new, I'm excited to be along for the ride. #introduction
Hi hello, I'm Bridget from Los Angeles! At 27, I'm taking my first steps on Mastodon.
I recently quit my desk job to reimagine my life outside of corporate America. As such, I've got spare time to reimagine the internet alongside you fine #forkiverse folk. No spare money though. Womp.
I'm a writer (or will be once the burnout subsides), interested in the brain, identity, culture and empathy.
Hobby harpist+violinist. Always down some research rabbit hole. Occasionally funny! #introduction
Hi, I’m José. Just moved over from Twitter.
I’m a software engineer based in the UK. At work I build distributed systems in Rust; outside work I experiment with languages and systems programming, and I read a lot (classics, sci-fi, history). My blog is linked in my profile (recently migrated from GitHub to Codeberg).
I love talking about low-level code, performance, and distributed systems, and anything book related.
Feel free to say hi, and I’m always happy to receive book recommendations.
Hello, I’m Colleen from Glasgow UK
I’ve found Mastodon in my decision to stop using FB/Insta/Threads etc, and so far am loving it - not least due to the lack of adverts :)
I’m an accountant by trade; pianist, dog and cat lover, and avid reader in my spare time.
#s that I’m following so far:
#music
#dogs #dogsofmastodon
#catsOfMastodon #cats
#art #hitchhikersguide
#joy
Howdy, happy to be here! Long time developer, coder, experimenter. Enjoy building self hosted local AI systems ala llama/StableDiff, messin' with linux, python, C, lora mesh, meshtastic, mesh core and alls that open source goodness.
Ultimately enjoy disconnecting and spending time in and/or living in the deep woods.

Rebonjour,
Je refais une introduction car plusieurs personnes ont dû voir que je partage énormément de messages venant de Gaza, https://gaza-verified.org notamment, que certaines personnes sont en train de vite oublier.
Donc changement d'approche, nouvelle intro n'est-ce pas?
Ça fait depuis tout petit que j'entends parler de la Palestine. Et ça fait depuis 20 ans que je milite.
Contre et pour beaucoup de choses.
🦣 Pas d’Éléphant place de la Bastille… mais Paris Musées arrive sur Mastodon 👋

Hello, I’m the founder of the Bookhouse Institute, a small cultural organisation dedicated to the creation & preservation of unique books, puzzles & treasure hunts.
Part bookshop and part creative studio, we design and publish limited edition books and hide treasure hunts in them. If you solve the puzzles and find the treasure first, it’s yours.

Hi Everybody! This is my introduction post. If you want to know more about me: feel free to scroll through my timeline.
I just want to say: these humanist devices are terrible to operate when you have fins. So be patient with me when I make stupid writing errors...
👋🏻 Hi, I’m Mark—welcome! This is my #introduction.
I’m a platform engineer pivoting from 30 years in #Perl to #Go, #Kubernetes, and #AWS. I write about systems thinking, career transitions, and production engineering at https://PhoenixTrap.com
I’m an #Objectivist—principles aren’t aspirations, they’re requirements. When reality and principle conflict, you change reality. I write about consciousness, identity, and the work of crossing the boundary between theory and practice at https://TheBeautifulPrison.com.
You’ll also see #BassGuitar, #DragonCon, #DeltaHCon, and #Comicpalooza when life permits. I self-host this Mastodon instance because decentralization matters.
For Rand newcomers, start with _The #AynRand Reader_: https://AynRand.org/novels/the-ayn-rand-reader/
Glad you’re here—pull up a chair.
Hello everyone, here’s my #introduction.
Proudly a geek, used to do #androiddev. Now helping to run @snappmobile and @snappautomotive
I'm currently focusing on brining back European tech sovereignty with @technology

Hi, I am Søren (the "ø" is pronounced like the "ea" in "Earth"), a guy from Denmark. I am trying out the #fediverse to see what it is all about and support it with a bit of content.
I post about #Lego and #EuropeanAlternatives (and #DanmarkSkifter in Danish), but as a person who goes through hobbies like people go through.. stuff they change often.. that is bound to change down the road. In tha last year I have been around sewing, macramé, 3d printing, and a few others.
Nouveau pseudo, nouvelle #Introduction
Non binaire, je me ballade sur le spectre du genre. Préférence du moment : un mix de neutre et de féminin. J'utilise le point médian mais vous pouvez expérimenter d'autres accords (sauf tout masculin)
Créature peu sociable, pessimiste, et team handi, c'est souvent difficile d'interagir et de garder une présence régulière sur les réseaux.
Mais j'y reste pour vous lire, progresser dans la lutte contre les discriminations et écouter la parole des concerné·es, découvrir vos créa ou voir vos compagnons à poils, plumes, écailles,...
I've been here since the 2022 Great Twitter Exodus, and I've apparently never posted an #introduction, so…
I'm a #GenX techie who's lived in #Boston since the late 80's.
My 15 minutes of fame were being fired by #DOGE from #USDS early in 2025 and sounding the alarm in every media outlet that'd listen since nobody else was doing it. I'm not a fan of limelight, so I stopped when others took up the baton.
My politics are aggressively progressive and antifascist, and I post about them a lot.

Way back in 2022, I wrote up how I came to be on Mastodon: https://mweston.wordpress.com/2022/11/21/elon-musk-the-twitter-fiasco-and-mastodon/
Since then I have almost entirely left #CorporateSocialMedia. I do still have a Facebook account, but use it much less and deleted most of my personal data (education, work, etc.). I've never really used LinkedIn or YouTube as social media, but do still have those as well. I *have* closed my Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp accounts, and never had a TikTok account. I experimented with Threads and Bluesky, but have since closed those accounts as well.
I am now in the process of moving from being @mweston to this server, since in the current #PoliticalAtmosphere I wanted a non-US-based server. Consider this post, my bio, and my link tree to be my #introduction
I'm looking forward to getting used to my new home on the Fediverse!
