To this extent I'm really interested to know how the age breakdown of people on the #Fediverse. On one hand it would seem to make sense to me that most people here remember the "old internet" before the centralization and they're here to rekindle that flame of independence. On the other hand the youths are generally pretty up on this whole technology thing. I grew up on the internet and since then smartphones have become even more ubiquitous.

So this is Mastodon! Time to try and find and follow other nerds...

Hi there! Allow me a quick #introduction

My name's Jotaro (just Joe is fine too), and I'm a pixel artist/illustrator/animator with a knack for bold color and anime style! Here's some examples of my work, gimme a follow if you want to see more like this! ☺️

earlier i tried to remember why someone ™️ blocked me on here.

i think it was because i said something along the lines of "calling jordan peterson a nazi is bullshit".

so i got blocked for defending someone who from my point of view is humanist to the core and stands by it. he attacks the favorite ideological ideas of people, not the being. he is for sure not a flawless human, having quite a bunch of demons himself. judging by things he says, he does try his best at being good though.

really is telling more about the blocker than the blocked, isn't it?

don't forget to use our recycled paper straw! :) remember its YOUR fault the earth is dying!

Hi all! By way of #introduction, I am a Sydney-based #hamradio operator, with a background in electrical engineering and computer science. I like to operate #cw on my #elecraft #k2 and #kx3 with a #magloop antenna. A while back I was dabbling in #packetradio and other #digitalmodes, but more recently I've been QRT due to other priorities. I do miss getting on the air though...

there are two people, those who can deal with freedom and those who can't. everything else is a secondary issue, especially on the net.

if they weren't so dangerous, i'd have pity with those who can't. they are too much of a threat though. they willingly give away their agency for the illusion of safety, online and in real life. what they really are doing is forcing everyone around them into the same chains they have around the ankles of their mind.

These absolute clowns literally believe that trolls from Twitter are creating instances solely to follow them onto the fediverse for the purposes of "targeting" them or whatever. They're citing instances and users that have long, long, long predated their arrival and trying to jump onto the fediblock bandwagon (which they just learned existed for the first time).

It's incomprehensible to them that the pre-existing residents of the fediverse don't want them here and find them a pox upon us. The sheer arrogance and narcissism of these "newbies" is nothing short of awe-inspiring.

100 Mastodon myths:

1. Mastodon is hard.

FALSE. It’s a "soft"ware. Not hardware.

2. You have to use Linux to post on Mastodon.

FALSE. FreeBSD and OpenBSD are also supported.

3. You need to learn to use the Vim editor before posting on Mastodon.

FALSE. There’s also an emacs plugin.

4. Mastodon is only for computer nerds.

FALSE. As you can see, we sometimes try to make jokes that everyone could understand.

Weird that you don't get a link to view your toot right after you submitted it like on Twitter.

That's like getting up from the toilet and not looking down to admire your finest creation yet.

I hope this lawsuit against Microsoft over Copilot is not the first nor the last
