I thought it might be a good idea to give an #introduction here.

As I'm still working in a mining area, and the only network I have access to is via our employer's WIFI network, there is a firewall that blocks a lot of websites. Because of this, I might as well give Mastodon a go, and I find #fediverse to be quite unique, as the idea of #mastodon is not centralised.

I am picking up some programming skills, and currently I am learning SQL. But I'm not going to talk about #career or #professional with this account, because that kind of content is not relevant to this server.

I'll be staying in Far North Queensland this year. Feel free to reach me out, or you can follow my other Mastodon account, which is mostly related to #tech.

And here's a sunset I took last year. Have a good one!

@ray1705 welcome, Ray! Enjoy your stay 🌻
@whatshisays Hahaha, I sure will. 
@ray1705 Hello and welcome to the Fediverse, the network of unlimited possibilities, almost.

The fediverse is much more than just Mastodon, as it is just one of over 140 ways to participate in the network. I, for example, use the Calckey software to exchange ideas with you.

Have fun and enjoy the time with us
👍

@crossgolf_rebel Hahaha, #fediverse is indeed another 'platform' that I can bypass the firewall set by my employer. Thanks, and I bookmarked this!
@ray1705 The Fediverse is the network, the services like mastodon, Calckey etc. are only something like the browsers in the network.
Mastodon is the basic application, if you want more, you should take a look at the other services.
Have fun reading in and exploring Fediverse
👍

What mastodon can't do, for example, is display reactions that others leave on posts. With masto there are only the stars

My English is so catastrophic that I can order beer and chips in English without any mistakes.
