Another post today. My current PC build! Getting more RGB soon and a 3090ti on backorder.

Current specs:

Ryzen 9 CPU
Can't remember graphics card but it's currently a bottleneck until I get the 3090ti

Running Linux -- for now

@bykimbo Luckily for Ireland I do not value either of those things.. in fact, sanity is quite the burden to be honest.

Hello! My name is Jonathan Joseph. I am an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at Michigan Technological University. My main interests are optics, photonics and computer simulation.

Okay this might be a long post

One thing that I realised is making #twittermigration harder for people to switch is because the whole concept can feel daunting & overwhelming for non-tech savvy people.

With Twitter to them it was straight forward and easy to find topics they enjoy but with mastodon its a bit different.
So if you're new to mastodon or you want to introduce someone to mastodon here are some tips, useful sites & tools:
### Tips:
- Choosing a home instance isn't as importance as it seems, don't overthink it. Yes moderation rules & policies may differ but they all have one thing in common: Be a decent human. You **always** have the option to migrate your account to a new instance.
- Toots (or posts if you think toots are cringe ) are what we call micro-blogging instead of tweets
- You’re supposed to "boost" AKA "reblog" toots that you like.Since Mastodon does not have an algorithm that surfaces toots that have been liked a lot, boosting is the best way to help spread stuff that you like, and to show appreciation. (credit to @orsvarn for this comment)
- Another way to fill your timeline with content you enjoy is to: Find other people with similar interests, follow them, favourite their posts, boost their posts, use hashtags. rinse, repeat. (credit to @garry)
- If you ever feel yourself getting sucked into arguments on the #Fediverse, you might want to take advantage of the instance mute/block feature!
Instances tend to foster a culture, so if you find people from a specific site tend to be bothering you, muting/blocking that instance will keep other members of that community from bothering you as well.
- Finally do not share private/sensitive information via DMs on Mastodon. Direct Messages are not E2E. **Keep it in mind**

### Useful tools & resources:
[Twitodon](https://twitodon.com/) - Find your Twitter friends on Mastodon
[FediFinder](https://fedifinder.glitch.me/)- Similar to Twitodon
[Fedi Tips](https://fedi.tips/) - an informal, unofficial guide for non-technical people who want to use Mastodon and the wider Fediverse
[Fedi Directory](https://fedi.directory) - A human-curated small selection of accounts to spice up your timeline.
[Trunk](https://communitywiki.org/trunk) -Trunk allows you to mass-follow a bunch of people in order to get started with Mastodon or any other platform on the Fediverse
[Fediverse.info](https://fediverse.info/explore/people) -growing list of people and topics can help you discover mutual interests with people around the world
**Mobile Apps:**
[Metatext for iOS ](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/metatext/id1523996615)
[Tusky for Android ](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keylesspalace.tusky&hl=en&gl=USt)

Lastly if you are interested in setting up your own instance you can learn via https://learnfoss.org/ its completely free and its made by the wonderful @stux

I apologize for the long post lol, just hope this helps anyones transition over

introduction 👋 


I'm a data scientist and machine learning engineer specialised in #geospatial analyses and ML. My interests include: #datascience #machinelearning #modelling #dataengineering #programming 


Living in Málaga, working remotely for an agency in Madrid
trekking, mountaineering, guitar, writing, coffee

Technology Integration Specialist for the largest independent high school in the United States. It's been a long time since I posted a "hello world" style message to introduce myself!
New to Mastodon, obviously, and looking for my #edtech community!

I can see that as part of the migration it seems the done thing to do an #introduction.

I am here in a personal capacity.

In both a personal and professional capacity, people seem to like listening to me talk about sustainability policy, which I find truly baffling as it usually ends up in me getting agitated about carbon pricing.

I also spend my time getting agitated about biodiversity and football.

Other keen interests include jazz, brutalist architecture, and futurism, and abstract expressionism in art.

Cool to have a social media that is open source and has a good dev community.

See ya Elon.

Who’d have guessed Elon Musk would pay $44 billion to promote Mastodon.

@freemo @khird @trinsec @arteteco
Thanks! Will do! And thanks to the whole team.
I have always found when managing/coordinating/being part of teams that accomplishing an objective together feels much more rewarding and is a richer experience than if that goal had been reached alone.
Like the toots here people can boost each other ;)
So again, thanks to you and the rest of the team. You have a lot of reasons to feel good, from what I see here in qoto.org

New user here. Had been considering the change for a while, took the plunge with the rest of the refugees of the #TwitterMigration. Lurked for a few days before posting.

I mostly used the birdsite for learning, #medtwitter was something I think worked rather well.

That said... By comparing with my (admittedly small, but fresh) home feed here at #Mastodon, during these past few days I have come to realize just how much the birdsite's algorithms were keeping me within rather limited boundaries, even if my tastes and interests have always been the same. #Mastodon has been giving me less noise and more content.

I am hopeful that this new experience might expand my cultural horizons through all of your wonderful collective and collaborative input and feedback!

Thank you to the creators and team behind #mastodon and to the maintainers of this server @freemo !

@freemo @meeper @nova @sarvo @waifu

Indeed I have found this instance safe and friendly

I see #qoto people doing an #introduction so I should also do a hashtag barrage...

First Life: #geology, #metamorphic #petrology, #isotope #geochemist, #geochronology, #subduction.

Second life: Trophy Husband.

Third Life: #downstream #biomanufacturing, #quality control, cGMP, #protein stability, #analytical #chemistry

meanwhile: #grindcore #metal

I hope I did those hashtags right or I'm gonna look like an #idiot
