#introductions #introduction i am penelope "penny farthing (like the bicycle)" penelopeia. i've been on the fediverse, particularly this instance, since 2016 or so, but i got addicted to twitter after i came out as trans in 2019, and used twitter instead of here primarily for the bulk of that time, sorry.

i''m #raccoongender and pluralish, and experience some degree of bipolar, AuDHD, and PTSD/C-PTSD and i post about these things

i'm a #musician whose primary work right now is #ambient / #minimalist free improvisation performances, mostly using #guitar, #synth, #sequencer, and #looper, streamed on #twitch. i build amps, pedals, and synths, although building them for users other than myself is only in the future

i'm looking for more #synth-diy #diy people and more guitarist gear dorks and synth nerds and people into experimental, #electroacoustic, #shoegaze, #post-rock, performance art, and other things to follow!

did i do this right? can i add more tags here because tags don't work the way i think? #music #postrock #minimalism #adhd #autism

i'm also looking for more people who post about circuit design, especially analog, and #math and #gnosticism and #witchcraft

oh btw i'm currently also posting on twitter @pennywhispered but that sucks. and on #cohost at cohost.org/pennyfarthing. my #twitch is ttv/pennyyells

and i'm looking to start "blogging" for real again, but haven't set that up yet

also, if you know of any synthesizer-dedicated instance or guitars-amps-and-pedals-dedicated instance or analog-circuit-designer-dedicated instance please let me know

@penny this is such an instance, but requires that you've done at least one event with the guild.

@litui unfortunately i could never figure out how to join any of the events. i’m not going to dig thru an inaccessible discord

@litui I’ve asked multiple people over the past few years, in general, i’m not wanted
Show threadpenny (raccoon)Nov 5, 2022
@litui regardless, i’m not interested in a brand new instance that only has people i’ve already heard of, that was not the intent of the question

@penny fair 'nuff (though their discord very prominently puts the event signup on the top of the channel list now, fwiw, I agree with you on the inaccessibility of Discord in general). And that's cool. You do you.

@litui it’s just clearly just another clique, i tried, hard, and gave up on them

@litui it’s not as bad as *every trans-run synth space i have every been in*, which is why i’m still in the gsc discord but left all of those
