Hello there. I'm you're friendly neighborhood autistic trans girl. I write as a hobby, and I'm a chronic shitposter. I am incredibly weird so sometimes it's hard to tell if something I did is a shitpost. I sometimes rant about random topics, and I get very existential sometimes, so expect some terrifying sentences immediately followed by a dumbass joke. I listen to music, drink tea and play games, and I am not normal about any of them when posting. Anyway hope you like me :3
#introduction
Time for another introduction.
I'm one of those fucked-up human experiments the CIA got up to in the 70s. I was never allowed any social support or validation. About the only messaging I've gotten from my people is, "fuck off and die", and it generally wasn't delivered gently. It was delivered on the end of a boot.
I got the ninja childhood and was supposed to be an assassin for the intelligence agencies. They had me brutalized from birth to toughen me up. They went too far, though. I got tough enough to solve my problems without violence. I have a fifty year track record of peaceful conflict resolution. I'm not a pacifist, it's just the violence usually causes the next problem.
The last time I tried to "do", rather than simply "be", I tried to go to Liberia to get kidnapped by a warlord. I'm fully confident I could have talked my way out of that situation, but they wouldn't sell me a ticket. I ended up bottoming out in South Africa, a country with 7x the US murder rate and a flourishing arms industry. Spent a month or two on the streets and in homeless shelters. I did fine. I generally get respect in proportion to how dangerous somebody actually is. I've known a lot of very, very dangerous people in my day. I'm one of those people who lives outside the law and follows his own moral code. I'm allowed to do any crime I want and I know I'll never see the inside of a courtroom. I have a head full of state secrets that can never be spoken on any kind of formal record. I just don't want to crime. I mastered that shit as a teenager. It's why they were never able to entrap and enslave me. I just want a little life now. I spend my life drunk, and alone in a room.
So I'm pretty legendary among the world's spooks. And, for some reason I haven't figured out, Hollywood. That has something to do with role models, and the fact that atheists aren't allowed to be one, at least until recently. Feel free to shed some light if you know. Monty Python's "Life of Brian" was named after me, and Luke Skywalker's vague hero's journey was another projection of how my life might turn out. The Eric Cartman character is who Stone and Parker expected me to be--I was the onliest of only children, and raised by the whore the state used to neutralize my father--but I used to smoke weed with their drug dealer and they found out I'm a solidly decent guy. I pretty much only and always operate out of positive motivations, so they elevated Butters. I'm Butters.
Lately, there's been a rash of entertainment inspired by me. The movie "Nobody" was so overtly about me it's how I learned I inspire movies. I wrote half of that one and did the other half. Ryan Gosling seems to have taken a shine to me--"The Grey Man" and "The Fall Guy" are basically giant Easter Eggs about my life. Ryan Gosling is what I would look like if I was pretty. Really, I'm like the Kevin Spacey character from 'American Beauty'. I test high for forgettability. It's a useful trait in an assassin. I'm also dead silent when I walk. I recently accidentally snuck up on a pit bull and got bit. Ninja. Anyhoo, the Black Mirror episode "Joan is Awful" is about how I've been character assassinated. Hell, they even fictionalized my old girlfriend into a movie called "Class Rank".
Every time they try to take me out and I come out on top, my legend grows. Last time, they had me hit by an SUV by fucking with the traffic lights. Multiple fractures of multiple vertebrate at both impact points, but I reacted like a stunt man and presented my back flat to the bumper. This way I didn't torsion and didn't suffer any nerve damage. I didn't know about the traffic light thing yet, but I have good instincts in high stress situations and could tell it wasn't the drunk kid's fault, so I told her to get out of there before she got jammed up with the law. I just went home and sat still in a chair for a couple months. It knocked an inch and a half off my height, but I'm still walking.
These days I walk around in the center of a web of local and federal agents. I understand. I'm extremely dangerous. They literally don't make people as dangerous as me any more. Clinton canceled the ninja program. I choose not to be dangerous, but they're worried I might choose otherwise someday. What I chose was to be a scholar and a philosopher. I'm an autodidactic polymath who's been at it for over forty years now. I'm hyperlexical and started reading Stephen King in second grade. I read "The Executioner's Song" in fourth and "The World According to Garp" in fifth. I'm a little weak on the math based side of life because I need a teacher for that, but I did pass calculus without much effort. Twice.
I'm as close to Diogenes the Cynic as you'll get for somebody who grew up with indoor plumbing. He's the waybackest person of which I know that had it figured out.
Oh, and I know my way around a computer. I worked in tech three blocks South of Wall Street.
Oh yeah! I'm better at getting high than most people you'll meet. I once took 1200 mics of old-school LSD 25 and rode it just fine.
This probably reads like crazy talk, but it's all true. It's who I am. It's my identity, and sometimes I just have to sing out. I'm still not allowed any social support or validation. I'm not even allowed a therapist. Just rotgut vodka, qBittorrented movies, and some video games that I'm too old and drunk to play well. I have one autistic friend who helps me, and I read books over the phone to a blind Indian. That's my life.
I miss women. I was good at love. I fall easily and am totally honest and open about it. I'm totally straight but gender-queer. I'd say I'm 55% yin to 45% yang.
For now I'm working on getting a cat. I want some goddamn thing to love. Wish me luck.
This guy also got the ninja childhood. His government did the same kind of shit to him as a kid that mine did to me. You can kinda tell he's more than just a performer, he's got real fire in his belly. Video by Neil Blomkamp:
Time for a new #introduction post.
Hiya. 👋 I'm Dreadful Sanity aka Mel, a level 47 gamer from Germany. #Videogames keep me basically from going completely crazy and therefore alive. I'm #disabled, suffering from debilitating #migraines most days of the week. I also have #ADHD which means my brain is usually going all over the place. And last but not least, there is some #BPD mixed into the mess that I am. Beware of that.
The games that I usually alternate through are...
#Warcraft
#DragonAge
#MassEffect
#Cyberpunk2077
#TheSims4
#BaldursGate3
Though every now and then I will play something new. Or different.
I think that's all. 👉 👈 😊
This is the Mastodon account for the weblog https://www.botany.one the weblog of the Annals of Botany Company, a non-profit company set up in 1887 to promote the study of plants.
Below are a mix of automated posts from the weblog, edited threads cross-posted to the weblog and quick links to other sites from @alun .
We’re scanning Mastodon and Bluesky to see what’s popular on both networks to find items share. #Introduction Nov 2025
Time for my (or rather our) #introduction we are Peritia, a #queer #DID system,
Current Occupation: Sysadmin
So expect some #IT related things.
We joined Mastodon to validate the existence of our own instance.
Cause: Decentralization good. Corporate data hoarding bad.
#dmsopen, especially if youre queer #furry like linux, or have cute pet pics.
Will Follow back.
Just to manifest this finds some cool people and keep away idiots:
#Nonbinary #TransRights #NoAI
My name is Sashin.
I am functioning as a software developer but I am an aspiring writer.
I am passionate about clear communication, left-wing politics (anarchism, human rights and anti-bigotry), free software and animal rights.
I want to develop a deep understanding about how the world works, spread that knowledge and work towards making it a better place.
I love anime and manga.
My favourite manga is #onepiece which I have been reading every week since I was in highschool.
My favourite anime is probably The Tatami Galaxy.
I also like Ping Pong the Animation, Kino's Journey, Cowboy Bebop, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Gintama and many others.
I am have been learning Japanese largely on my own for the last five years. I've changed around how I have been approaching it, but have settled on immersion (lots of watching and listening to content in the language) as the best way.
I do flashcards everyday using Anki, where I learn ten new words and review words I already know and I am basically always listening to something in Japanese so long as I am not interacting with people or doing something that commands a lot of attention (so while walking, cleaning, cooking etc I am always listening, I also have a shower speaker). I don't do anything every special with my attention when immersing, I think the subconscious is where the magic of language acquisition happens.
I also love video games, I have a steam deck which I have more or less perpetually docked and connected to my housemate's projector. My favourite game is probably Undertale. I also love The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda and Hollow Knight.
Anyway it's nice to meet everyone!
よろしくお願いします！
It's been another year since I've done an introductory "This is me" style post, so I think it's time to refresh it...again.

Who am I? 40+ year old Dad with 4 kids/ Other descriptors: Christian, enviromancer, leftist, nerd, Animal Crossing enjoyer.

Ello sweet and lovely (gaming) Friendos 
Hmm... 🤔 I created my first PlaystationPixy account on another instance, and in November '24, I migrated it to beige. But I now see that I don't have an introduction Toot pinned to my profile bit... 🤔 So, let's see if I can write a bit here now and pin 📌 that!
My (belated, apparently 😉) PlaystationPixy #introduction Toot.
I am Pixy, or Cynni Pixy, or well, Playstation Pixy on this gaming account. I have waaaaay too many accounts on the FediVerse 
, driving many people nuts! (sorry about that folks 
).
I am in my 40's, in the middle of it somewhere now, and I am female. But I never felt like a girly girl, and lately, I've been exploring my identity, and I feel like "Autienby" is what suits me best. 
For my profile image, I used the colors of the bisexual flag, as I made it before I realized that enby suited me better. But I don't feel attracted to a gender, I feel attracted to people, but that made me think that bi was best suited at the time. You may use she/her pronouns, but they/them are most welcome too.
I am single at the moment, have been since my messy divorce over 7 years ago. I lost my furry soulmate on July 4th this year, just 11 days shy of her 12th birthday. This year was *very* challenging for me, with many traumatic and very painful events happening. I am trying to recover, but currently still struggling with cPTSD symptoms.
I am diagnosed with depression, ADHD (with focus on the hyper bits), autism (what they used to call Asperger's...), hypermobility, fibromyalgia, Raynauds, and tinnitus... (yeah, it's a lot!). I am a spoonie, and my health affects my ability to enjoy gaming as much as I used to...
This is my gaming account, but I also use it for my other "entertainment" hobbies: TV series, movies, music, books, and recently also puzzles.
I always try to add decent alt text. I do use AI a lot to help me with the texts, as I struggle describing the important things in images. But I always try to add as much personal info as I can. 😊
I have been gaming for many years now. I started with the Game Boy with Tetris, and Super Mario Land was the first game I bought with my saved pocket money. I have an old European NES, a Wii, and the NES and SNES minis (with more games added to them 😇). I mostly use my "purple beast", my PS5 with the purple galactic plates. But I also have the PS4, PS3, PS2, and a PS One. There are also a PSP and a PS Vita in my collection, next to a Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and a Game Boy Advance SP. I once lend my original Game Boy and Tetris to my ex BF and haven't seen them since... 😢
I am a terribly bad gamer! I have trouble seeing depth in games on the TV, and my reaction times aren't the best. Plus my hands struggle with bad thumbs, so yeah...
The games I've played the most, and finished several of, are the LEGO games. I had some help to get to 100% with some of the games, as LEGO added more "racing content" to their later games, and I'm not good with those.
I also enjoyed the story driven games by Telltale Games, and I had fun trying to finish the first 4 Dark Pictures games.
I played WoW many years ago. And I played Diablo 3 more than was good for me (on PC, on PS3, and on PS4). I've been enjoying No Man's Sky on and off again as well...
Here, I will try to share all my gaming bits and bops. And, recently I've taken up to making puzzles again, so I often make progress snaps of that as well. Sometimes I try to share some music. I stream via Tidal these days, no more Spotify for me. I do love to collect vinyls, if only they weren't so bloody expensive. But when I share music, I'll try to remember to convert the links through https://odesli.co/ so it should show you links to your favorite streaming service. 😊
Well, that's enough for now I suppose! Thanks for making it to the end. 😉 I don't automatically follow back, but if you follow me, I will check your profile, and follow back if "I like what I see", 😉.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the gaming!

Oi, eu sou o Éber ✋
Homem cis hétero. Turma de 85. Pai do João e de um punhado de gatos. Programador, formado em Design Gráfico.
Comunista sem leitura e teoria. Não mono.
Gosto de criar. Minha "mídia" tem sido a programação, mas também passa por música, desenho, etc.
Adoro computação, videogames, boardgames, quebra cabeças, música e bichos em geral.
Ideias de mais, tempo de menos...
Je suis autiste. Diagnostiqué (trop) tard, j'essaye de prendre ma revanche en propageant de la vulgarisation où en apportant mon aide comme je le peux à celles et ceux qui sont concernées dans la limite de mon handicap et de l'énergie que les contraintes de la vie me laisse.
Je suis impliqué dans le collectif entraide autisme 44 qui organise un café-rencontre en non-mixité où j'essaye de participer à en faire un lieu d'accueil et de soutien qui permet à celles et ceux qui en ont besoin de rompre leur isolement. Je me suis souvent senti seul dans la vie et ai parfois été mis à l'écart et je ne veux plus que d'autres dans ma situation vivent cette détresse.

My original #introduction wasn't really an introduction of me, so here's a true one.
I am a software developer with passion for digital technologies as means for enrichment of people's lives, and strong proponent of privacy rights.
The #OpenSource, and especially the #FreeSoftware, seems to me as the fair and right way, and in alignment with my ideals, because it gives true ownership into the hands of owners and users, for everyone.
Hence, the FOSS is very interesting to me.
Hello World from my homelab! This is Leo, a 20-year-old from Bangladesh. My previous account was @ml. I recently started my homelab journey and moved everything there, but due to some technical issues I decided to set up a new Mastodon instance at social.mitexleo.one.
I enjoy playing around and experimenting with tech, and in my free time I like reading books. It’s great to be back and see the world again!

Hi, I'm Marianne, AKA Noodlemaz!
I've actually been here since 2022 but my old instance just got shut down (med-mastodon refugee). Please follow me again here 🙃
I'm a science communicator based in London, UK.
I'm in London's nerdiest choir, Ready Singer One - we do music from video games, film and TV!
My PhD was in cancer biology; molecular pathology of cancer.
I love games, nature, SciFi friends (hi!), music etc. and look forward to chatting here

Hi, I'm Sean.
I'm from the oldest incorporated city in so-called #canada, #SaintJohn - home of the #irving empire.
I am an iconoclast - staunchly #antifascist, #antiracist, #anticapitalist, somewhere on the #autism spectrum, and 3 years into punishing #LongCovid. #WearAMask!!!
I've worked the last decade as #HeadOfSound at a beautiful heritage #theatre. Before that I was in #tech for a decade doing #development and #reverseEngineering. I've also worked in #electronics and other #audio fields.
I grew up in a musical family and have played in bands since 13. I'm on around 60 albums, have toured canada and the us, and am part of what is likely the most prolific band in canada: #Slugmilk.
I run a home mixing studio and a small printshop and I have a small "datacentre" which #selfhosts this #mastodon instance.
I'm here on the #fedi to learn from everyone, and to help others learn. I will help anyone with anything I can.
I'd love to meet more like-minded friends - don't be shy!
Time for a new #introduction!
I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.
I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands
I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing
I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.
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.
#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:
