Hey Mastodon! Bare with me - I’m still working out how to use it - but think I’m gonna like it here!

To introduce myself... I'm Antoni, I'm in Denbighshire. I've worked on this project since 2014. It's not my job, but I do devote a lot of time to it (ask my family, they'll confirm that!)
If you have Belgian ancestors who were in north Wales 100+ years ago, I may know a little about them. Please ask! Or please tell me about them...

Brief #introduction - I’m a tenure-track scientist at the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research on Texel researching seawater chemistry, with a focus on the contemporary marine carbon cycle. I do this through a combination of oceanographic expeditions, lab work, theoretical studies and scientific software development (primarily) in Python

#introduction Hi I'm Baz, I'm a 20 year old trainee carpenter from Powys. I'm a Trojan Skinhead, meaning I am anti-racist, proudly working-class and enjoy music and clothing styles from the late 60s (Ska, Rocksteady, Ealry Reggae etc.). I'm passionate about deplatforming the violent and racist thugs posing as the representatives of our subculture. Beyond that some of my hobbies include cycling, hiking, reading, watching films and getting out on the lash with my mates. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ⚒️ 🏁 🇯🇲 🥾

#introduction

I am one of the migrating birds.

I am a long-time journalist. I created NPR's Planet Money, then was economics writer at The New York Times Magazine and then the New Yorker. I wrote a book, The Passion Economy.

I'm interested in journalism, democracy, the ancient Near East, Cheese (for realz!), and lots of other things.

I live in Vermont with my wife and kid.

What you get out of your experience at depends on what you put into it.

We don't do brands here - we do people. You may have become used to presenting yourself as a public figure, pushing content to the algorithm, but we're free from that machine here.

Peek at the local timeline and engage with posts.
Engage with the people who fave, boost, and comment on your work.
Make an effort to learn and use the established community practices like hashtags and alt text.

We should not be optimising Mastodon so it can handle more people per server. We should be optimising Mastodon so it incentivises more serves with fewer people.

(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: https://ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-small-web/)
