I suppose I should do a #introducton since I spun up my own instance even though I'm not entirely new to the fediverse.

My bio says most of what you need to know, but in general I try to advocate for an open, free internet outside of corporate control and share personal advice for navigating this digital landscape.

I run a few different services that are open to people I'm at least acquainted with. Very pro individual liberties when it comes to politics. And I kinda post whatever I feel like. Mostly about the aforementioned internet topics, but definitely can deviate time to time.

(Boost for federation/discoverability if you wish)

Okay cool cats I think it's #introducton time!

My name is Andrew, but I go by virtualrook on #YouTube, #twitch, and now here! This is not a rook from chess, I'm awful at chess, I chose rook because I love crows, and a rook is in the same family as crows :D

I am also obsessed with VR, get me talking about VR and I won't shut up, so that is what my YouTube channel is all about haha

I hope you don't mind if I do some shameless self promotion here, It's lovely to meet you all

#introducton post:

I like retro games and modern games. I tried to learn how to speed run NES #metroid and at least made the leaderboards. I paint video games with acrylics. I used to write and podcast for NintendoWorldReport.com.

Here is a Metroid painting set I made to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the franchise.

I am not a twitter escapist... I didn't really use twitter... but I did find this because of the failure of the Muskrat...

I am a VERY SARCASTIC chef, and father of two, happily married, cis/het & he/him, From the USA Midwest, but living on the East Coast.

I am politically left, but I don't particularly like the Democratic party.

I'm kind of waiting for the USA to fall apart. I'd rather some massive reforms than an actual revolution, but I'm not hopeful.

Hi there. I'm a web dev and accessibility evangelist from Vienna, Austria. Happily married to my husband. A sci-fi nerd, Marvel enthusiast and casual gamer. Looking forward to meet lots of interesting people here . #introducton #webdevs #a11y #vienna

Well it's about time I did a #introducton
Hi I'm Sam(They/Them) (you may previously known me as Sean) , I'm 20 something, having some luck finding temp work around Christmas and like to mess around with computers, I have #adhd , I am currently trying to learn Spanish and only just got this server working again.

Bonjour, comme j'ai un peu de temps dans mon trajet #vélotaf - bus, je vais faire une #introducton que je n'avais pas encore pris le temps de faire. Pilote de #planeur: faire des vols de plusieurs centaines de km sans émettre de CO2, c'est le kiff. Libriste depuis plusieurs années, j'essaye de faire du zéro dechet. Et sinon je bosse pour un sous-traitant d'un grand constructeur d'avion.

#introducton electoral and constitutional reform slactivist.
Would like to be more active in local politics but I'm too busy procrastinating, taking care of my two young daughters, working, and maintaining a household. (In order of time apportioned).

I never did a proper #introducton I think: I'm Marco (he/him), class '81, raised with a C=64, fell in love with computers, start to program professionally in '99, founded a small #Clojure company in 2015, started #functionalcafe in 2017.

I have two dogs, a couple of guitars, and a Moleskine fill with dreams.

This instance is my contribution to functional programming community and to all the marvelous people I met in my journey so far.

Enjoy

I like listening not so much speaking, other people's stories are more entertaining than mine.
I have peculiar interests that generally nobody likes: Opera, patriarchy deconstruction, trans rights, LGBTQ+ issues, society and politics secularization, cultural differences, nudism, body positivity, mental health, art and architecture, diversity, sustainability, appliances. ..
I speak a poor Italian and a poor English.
I live in Ireland and this changed me in way I didn't anticipate
