Thanks for the warm welcome, @Pat, @trinsec, @freeschool and @MamGrac !

I probably won't be that active, I'll usually be here once or twice a day and sometimes I'll disappear for a while...
On that note, if you ever notice that I'm posting after midnight Dutch time, please do tell me to get my shit together 😅.

Already feeling the desire to make wording changes after pressing "Toot"...
Challenging my perfectionism and glacial pace when writing is part of why I'm here, so I guess I'll have to let that go.

Lastly, I want to explain a bit why I've chosen this instance, QOTO: I like having discussions and think it's important, no matter the issue, to engage with people who have opposite opinions about that issue.
Both to help them not fall into an echo chamber, and to steer clear of them yourself.
This instance, with its "inclusive free speech" stance, seems like a good place for that.

I'm kind of expecting most people to use "he", as that is kind of a common assumption in nerdy parts of the internet.
On the other hand, one might expect most people to use "they" because they don't want to assume (by the way, don't worry in my case, I'm telling you to assume!) or because they just don't know.
Or maybe people will use "she" because my profile picture and banner are drawings of flowers?

If the goal of this "experiment" were to see how people perceive me based on my words and behaviour, it would be a very bad experiment given all those potential other factors.

I've not yet said whether I'm a "he" or a "she". The answer is: I'm not telling 😛.
This does not necessarily mean I'm a "they" either - I'm just leaving it undisclosed, as a sort of experiment.
Feel free to assume any of the three.

New on mastodon, time for an #introduction!
I'm eqyo from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, I'm in my twenties and studying #mathematics & #computerscience. I am also: a semi-agnostic churchgoer ⛪, not exactly straight but still figuring things out 🏳️‍🌈, and very much into #classicalmusic 🎻.
(Expect the frequency of emojis and hashtags to drop drastically after this post)
I see myself posting about my life, about #philosophy & #politics, maybe about some #foss-related stuff...
