Well, I guess it's time for an #introduction! I'm a professional software developer from Reunion Island.

I've been a #marketgardener for six years and I'm the creator of https://qrop.frama.io, a #FLOSS #cropplanning software written in #qt. I'm porting it to #Phoenix because #Elixir is such a wonderful language! (And more seriously, because a #SaaS will be a better fit.)

#GNUlinux user since 2005, #Emacs lover ever since, learning #Rust in my spare time, #climbing as much as possible.

So after a couple of days of snooping around and butting into conversations, I guess it's #introduction time 😁

I'm originally from Singapore, but moved to Naarm (Melbourne, Australia) in 2004.

I have been in the hospitality industry for 18 years.
The last 12 of which have been spent in the kitchen as a chef. I post about #food a lot 😏

I also have a background in #Anthropology, #SocialTheory and #HumanNutrition.

Am currently in the middle of a #PhD in #Education - researching community #foodpedagogies as well as food education in #PublicHealth.

I am passionate about #SocialJustice, #FoodSecurity, #Decolonisation and dismantling systems that perpetuate division and inequity.

I am a #dancer, #SciFi geek, a novice gardener and have a regular #yoga practice.

Open to meet anyone and everyone. Excited to be here and looking forward to many amazing conversations and friendships! 💜

Hi I’m Vanessa, a professional storyteller that is I literally tell stories for money. I also coach storytelling human beings & I programme storytelling festivals. (It’s a spoken word artform thing). I like foxes, trees, strangeness and people watching.
ALSO I used to be an electrician aka “spark” “gaffer” or “best boy” in the film industry - lighting for movies- and this year I’ll be making a storytelling show about that. Now you know all about me. #introductions #introduction#MeetMe

I'm not gonna lie, TikTok was never my thing. I also never particularly expected a huge influx to Mastodon following the ban, and it's restoring some amount of [EDIT: I mean, quite a bit of] optimism on my part now that that's apparently happening.

Hi, everyone who's here from TikTok.

Something you'll find different here (and love if you're anything like me), is that the "algorithm" is created directly by everyone who uses this thing. Boosting a post shows it to people who follow you. The more people boost the same post, the more people see it.

Also—and this isn't even aimed at any app specifically—Mastodon, unlike a lot of apps, is really good on mobile AND on desktop according to a lot of people, including me. Please log in to whichever instance you chose to make your account on in a web browser, and try it if you haven't already.

There are also accessibility features here that most other social media either lacks entirely or doesn't do nearly as well. Alt text, for example, is text added to media, that exists primarily for the purpose of describing said media to people who interact with Mastodon using an audio interface. Adding alt text to images is recommended, and posts containing images are likely to get more boosts with alt text than without.

It's also a good idea to write a brief (or not) introduction post and pin it on your profile.

I should probably also mention that I've been looking through #TikTokRefugee and following anyone and everyone who's here from TikTok. So if you're here from TikTok and I just followed you, that's why.

Welcome to Mastodon.

I might as well do another #introduction specifically for the #academic side of this here fediverse:

Coming from #theoreticalCS (with applications in #NLP) to doing #digitalhumanities (computational #musicology), I've now landed in #ResponsibleAI. Specifically, I'm interested in exploring #AntiCapitalistAI, both sharpening existing critiques of current AI practise by confronting capital and exploring inherent politics of technologies, and finding better ones for a socialist world.

#introduction

#HappyNewYear everyone!

I am a #paleoclimate #scientist who also is an expert on #biomarkers as #ClimateProxies. In other words, I study past #climate using #molecular #fossils.

I am currently a @CNRS_INSU researcher at the Centre de Recherche et d'Enseignement en Géosciences de l'Environnement (CEREGE, France).

In addition to boosting toots of interest, I will essentially toot my new #scientific #publications and other #scientific content.

Time for me to shamelessly do a re #introduction for the newer people joining masto!

Hello! I am a published SFF author, poet, musician/music student and sometime-composer with major impostor syndrome. I am also a biblioholic, a literary Gothic academic (PhD in Literature). My interests outside of these spheres include cooking, language learning, binge-watching my favourite (mostly SFF/Gothic) shows. On Mastodon I mostly engage with the #3GoodThings community when I am not posting #music recommendations (mostly #womencomposers #experimentalmusic #contemporarymusic #classicalmusic with some #indie)

My bibliography: https://mythopoetica.com/bibliography
My debut fantasy novel: https://mythopoetica.com/2024/09/01/places-to-purchase-watermyth-ebook/

Been on the fence about joining Mastodon for a while. Jumped off of it, finally. Hi :]

I'm a character artist, spent a lot of time drawing OCs but also made some Solarpunk stuff, including that one "we would call it Solarpunk" post.

Here's some illustrations I did for the Solarpunk Prompts podcast, with more to come

#introduction #art #solarpunk #hopepunk #illustration #ukraine#myArt

A TV studio recording a cooking show, with a clearly distressed cook standing in front of a table full of vegetarian / vegan ingredients, their hands raised placatingly. The audience in front of them is clearly outraged, waving protest signs demanding meat.

Digital illustration of a vibrant cafeteria scene. We can see through the faraway window that the building is situated somewhere high up in the mountains, likely next to a research station. Visitors are going about their day in the background, and the walls are covered in art. In the foreground, two people are having a conversation over a vegetarian meal. The person on the left is playfully leaning in, probably asking the other one a question. The second person is gesturing in frustration. To their right is a notebook covered in scribbles, indicating possible creative troubles.

Digital illustration. The scene is set on a spring morning. A middle-aged woman is standing in the centre of the frame, holding a miner's helmet in one hand and in the other - a flyer, close to her chest. Before her is a statue of two people, one of which is pulling the other out of a hole while holding onto a small wind turbine. A discarded pickaxe is lying on the ground. The woman looks uncertain, but there's a hopeful glimmer in her eye. In the background is a building the second floor of which looks drastically different from the first: it's much more colorful and imaginative. The text on the building reads "Community Center"

Digital illustration of a rooftop vegetable garden under a semi-transparent solar panel, lit by the morning sun. Behind it we see a vibrant residential tower, and yet further - a park still bathed in gentle shadows, as well as a train bridge. Three people are in the foreground next to the raised garden beds. A grandmother is sitting on a stool, explaining something to the curious child who's crouching nearby. To the left, a girl, clearly in the middle of doing something, appears to have zoned out and is now looking into the distance, fiddling with her necklace. A watering can is dripping on the thin stone-tiled path nearby.

#introduction
Hello, I'm completely new to Mastodon. I'm a scientist, so I thought a server about scientific communication would be interesting. I'm a plant physiologist, more specifically a forest tree ecophysiologist, working on how trees acclimate to #DroughtStress, and generally interested in the effect of #ClimateChange on #Forests . Posts can be in English, German or French.

Hi! This is my #introduction. I'm a geologist turned software developer living in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

I used to tweet and blog about volcanoes 🌋, Iceland 🇮🇸, geospatial data 🗺️, and open source science software pythonlinux (http://all-geo.org/volcan01010/every-post-ever/) but I don't have so much time for that these days.

I'm hopeful that Mastodon will be like the glory days of sci-comm Twitter circa 2012.
