Hey all! New to #Mastodon!

My name is Arthur Lorenz and I am an illustrator and concept artist from Germany. Looking forward to this new #art community!

I'll share fanart as well as personal art here of various projects I came up with.

I am now on the job hunt and want to tackle the game industry!

@Dolphins I like and also , involved in BritBall which is AmericanFootball played in the United Kingdom.

@BlackAzizAnansi

I think the same about @fsf @fsfe we can go back to having fun, building cool stuff, or writing our own little games or programs like we did on the 80s computers that were not locked down by corporate driven operating systems.

I love Mastodon because it reminds me of when the internet was weird and fun.

Me, a #Mastodon newcomer: "I'd better not follow too many people until I get the hang of this"

You, driving by my feed: #introductions I like #Linux and #FOSS and #Coffee and #Coding and #ElectronicMusic and #Science and #Socialism and #Cats and #Games and #AllTheThingsYouLike and damn I'm hitting that Follow button again.

I think a lot of children / young people do, I am NOT parent but I can understand why this is a topic which is or can be difficult to discuss with children.

@corneliusroemer

There are a few regions of Germany who use / or even mandate the use of Free software. So this makes sense.

Woah - German government has got its own Mastodon instance and most of the ministries and many agencies already have accounts.
Verification problem at least partially solved - just need to check the domain is right!
I've also seen newspapers like theatlantic.com set up instances themselves. Looks like verification will be worked out sooner or later.

@conor

Don't feel bad about unfollowing people or actually being unfollowed, I am sure there is nothing personal.

@geekwisdom @AgathaSorceress

I am not sure which law this was, but it was on the news the other day that the state governor had done that, something internet related.
I think many are looking at the UK online safety bill ( if it ever gets in to law) as an example of legislation..

@jamatri I find people can have conversations as they are not as polarised on a topic

or people are just more rational hence they came here in the first place, we agree to disagree or back up our statements with evidence to form arguments.

Been here for over an hour now and I haven't seen a single argument take place yet. This place is freaking me out a bit

@scottjshapiro

Not sure, we have been around for some time, just I think we prefer to focus on building the alternative.

We don't have the budget for mass marketing, so I think it is usually down to people to spread the word and talk to people. Sometimes this is just more effective.

Seems people knew about Mastodon, but didn't join as people they know are not here It seems with what has happened at Twitter people have just snapped and decided to ;eave en masse.

But even facebook are finding investors and others are losing confidence in these platforms.

Why is Mastodon, a free platform run by volunteers that I didn't even know existed last week and has experienced explosive growth in a few days, slow?

Ok folks who are some of your favorite people who have been on here for a while tooting about technology and online culture? Looking for smart people to follow and would love recs!

My #introduction - I am an immigrant #scientist supporting professional development of graduate students and postdocs for academic thriving & diverse career goals, and broadly think about Grad Ed reforms. Prior to this life, was RNA biologist.

Hope to build (and learn from) a vibrant and supportive #academicMastodon #scimastodon community, similar to one I found on #AcademicTwitter #ScienceTwitter .
