Hello I'm new here. I'm a 30-something geeky woman from North dakota. I'm into video games and cats. I have degrees in IT and computer programming. I'm looking for other geeky friends! #introductions
Hei, Friend --- Glad you made it! 😃
(we penpals... 😛 diff username here, same guy. Glad you came.)
@punkymcmunky Enjoy the network and all it has to offer. If you are new to using Mastodon, there's a good guide here: https://lifehacker.com/a-beginner-s-guide-to-mastodon-1828503235
We also have another new users guide, posted here : https://write.tedomum.net/rgx/suggestions-and-guidelines-for-new-users-written-by-mastodon-art-administrator
Any question, just ask, and someone will try and help out.
@design_RG Well hello there! I'm glad to be here. 😃
@punkymcmunky There is a lot to discover on the fediverse, I have been here full time since I started about a month ago, love it.
Got about 4 times the number of posts here, in one month, that I had on twitter, since 2011.
Still sad to even check there, people don't react at all, too much going on.
Here is much more friendly and fun, there are knowledgeable people to talk to. Great place for geeks like us.
@design_RG That's awesome to know. I look forward to exploring this place!
@punkymcmunky There's a lot to see and do. I haven't even been reading the news like I lways used to.
Learning new things, there's Mastodon, where we are here, plus other projects.
To share video, like YT. To share music, photos, blog writings.
Each instance is independant and has it's own theme, rules and 'feel'.
Ours here is sci tech eng math, but not strictly enforced as mandatory for each post.
I volunteered for a moderation job that is opening now, and have been nominated by our sys admin, @freemo, Dr Freeman in civilian life.
@punkymcmunky welcome! We are glad you’re here!
@cb Thank you. I am glad to be here. 😃
@punkymcmunky
welcome to join mastodon and QOTO.
@cb
@fireglow That's great! Awesome to meet you!
@fireglow I look forward to cat pics!
What a nice set of pictures, thank you, Fireglow. Seb is lovely.
Wouldn't mind an affectionate kitty like him myself. They vary so much in temperament. 🐱 😺
@punkymcmunky One thing truly abundant here are geeks - and friendly ones! ;)
@punkymcmunky Hi, cant wait to start reading your posts. Nice to meet you!
