Didn't do one of these when I made the account, but now seems like a good time for an #introduction.

I'm pointB, a Reddit (and Twitter) refugee after they shut down third-party apps. I'm mostly here for #magicthegathering content, but other potentially relevant things are:

#sysadmin
#bisexual (happily partnered, not terribly relevant anymore)
#socialism
#opensource
#music (#emo)

One Action
There are about 17 days left for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to score a win for Team Canada and shut down the @CanadianPM X/Twitter account

Now is the right moment to lead by example... let him know before he leaves office.👇

Petite #introduction qui rappelle avec nostalgie l'époque des forums.

Après des études en #Géographie j'ai été chargé d'études #sig / #dataviz dans une agence d'urbanisme publique (#postgresql #qgis ), mais j'ai récemment rejoint une #collectivite territoriale pour piloter des projets #informatique dans le domaine #social.

Sur l'oiseau bleu je segmentais compte pro et perso surtout follow #actualité #vulgarisation #tech #art #nupes.
#twittermigration = compte neuf à voir ce qu'il deviendra 😅

One Action
There are FIVE WEEKS (about 34 days) left for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to shut down the @CanadianPM X/Twitter account.

Stop clapping and waiving at the fascist in the gallery. Stop feeding the oligarchs.

Il y a une petite vague, une vaguelette, de nouveaux comptes québécois sur Mastodon en ce moment. Bienvenue à toutes et à tous ! Pas d’algorithmes ici, le réseau vit grâce à nos interactions : exprimez-vous, partagez, commentez. 🙂

#Québec #FollowQuebec #Communauté #Montréal #TwitterMigration

To imagine a desirable future for the Twitter platform, one only has to think of MySpace and Fotolog. All that is needed is to empty it and not participate. Nazis will have no voice on Twitter if they have no one to speak with. People who stay on Twitter to fight against Nazism only succeed in delaying that moment.

#introduction

Didn't even know about this #TwitterMigration thing but it appeared naturally to my mind. Found Mastodon while just being curious about decentralized alternatives. I have to mention that this Musk thing raises some weird feelings. Anyway, ket's see how this place is! It's nice to read these instructions, so here's mine.

This is almost my first post in any social media platform, ever. I'm from Finland. My interests are many. I work at a niche infosec area. I'm a professional musician and guitar is my main instrument. I like to ponder about a latticework of things that feel like one big subject, dropping a few: nature of the self, consciousness, ecology (science of relationships in nature), cognitive biases, reason, science and why it produces superior knowledge, knowledge: what can be known, evolution, progress, the amount of stars in the observable galaxies, distances inside the universe, associations between anything, stupid jokes, arts, many kinds of literature, birdwatching, zen practice.

I try to think why this place feels intuitively interesting. Maybe it's the lack of the usual algorithms that make this feel somehow genuine or whatever. I like to play with the idea of following people based on their #introduction instead of some well-known people. Sure, the well-known often have a lot to say but because everyone sees the light, often the most interesting stuff is in the dark :)

Les gens qui restent sur X et Meta me font un peu penser à Lando Calrissian quand il pense avoir un deal avec Dark Vador. Il vous faudra combien d'autres changements "inquiétants" avant de partir ?

After some German unions yesterday, more than 60 (!!) German universities left #X/#Twitter today. Some are already active on #Mastodon. They justified this with their commitment to fact-based communication and against antidemocratic forces. Values that promote diversity, freedom and science aren't present over there, they say. 👏🏻

Hello, fediverse! I'm a father, elder millennial, and software developer primarily in the #dotnet ecosystem. Though I do enjoy working with #react, #nextjs, and other #javascript and/or #typescript frameworks. I came here like many others as part of the #twittermigration. l'm looking for professional networking, learning, and socialization.

I love #coffee, #comics, #philosophy, #dnd, #cooking, #metal, and #videogames.

I want to move to #ireland one day!

#introduction

"As Bluesky attracts more activity, particularly from those fleeing Elon Musk’s X, it is facing the price of success: tough moderation decisions and a growing number of bad actors."

For time being, perfectly happy here in the fediverse on Mastodon. 🐘

New #Introduction post for all the newbies here during the great #TwitterMigration! Howdy! My name is Kat and I’m a #Librarian of the #Academic variety. I enjoy watching others play #VideoGames, #Coffee, #Cats, #Dogs and #ShitPosts. Also will talk about #AcademicWriting and those sorts of things. I have a husband, 2 daughters, 3 cats and a dog. My brain and home are crowded.

#introduction #introductions #TwitterTakeover #TwitterMigration

Since it seems to be a thing to do today, I'm a geek who:

teaches/writes about system administration and cyber security

plays upright bass and does live sound (mainly folk/blues/Celtic)

is starting a small market farm

Never done a true #introduction and given the #twittermigration let's go.
I'm a former mental health clinician turned software developer going on 6 years now. I game and do photography (urban and landscape mostly) in my free time. Currently working on some home #networking with #opnsense
Long time #atheist and #skeptic and I do my best to try to find actual fact and truth. #politics (United States mostly) drive me more mad than they should.
Nice to meet you.

If you’ve just left Twitter/X welcome! You’ve come to the right place.

There is no algorithm here so we encourage lots of following and “retweeting”. You can also follow #hashtags as well.

Posts are sometimes called toots. Retweets are sometimes called boosts or retoots.

If you want people to follow you, be sure to have a profile picture, something in your description about you, and some engagement: posts, comments, stars, boosts. People also usually do a post that is an introduction to them (be sure to use a hashtag, #introduction) and it can help to pin that to your profile so people can boost it.

One thing we always try to do is add alt text to images for multiple reasons, you can read about that here:
https://wetdry.world/@ipg/113449765700357189

People have added additional tips in the comments below which you may want to check out.

Many of us (all?) are grieving the US election now so comedy is appreciated.

I'm definitely seeing new followers. Hi! Thanks for coming here. I know it's fiddly but I think it's worth it.

Here's the most important tip I can give you:

\🥳/ HASHTAGS \🥳/

Like old Twitter, this place lives on hashtags. Here's how to use them:

1) Put tags on EVERYTHING you don't want hidden.

1A) Seriously. Everything. Keep them appropriate! But.

2) FOLLOW hashtags. That's a thing you can do here. You can follow a hashtag like you can follow a person. Type in the search box, select it, then click follow.

4) Whenever you see someone interesting on that hashtag? Follow them. Follow people WITH ABANDON. Unfollow if it doesn't work out, that's okay here!

That's it. Welcome!
