Who in the Fediverse would you most like to meet in real life? (And feel free to tag them.)

Boost to reach that person in the back.

@LoganFive

Gosh. Who could choose?

@TheEddieShow Why not pick one or two? It doesn’t need to be absolute.
@TheEddieShow @LoganFive Right? I feel like I might hurt someone's feelings by not choosing them, when really the problem is that I'm terrible at remembering user handles.
@LoganFive
Oh that's too difficult a decision. I would choose at least a dozen people, for different reasons. You would be on my list.

@LoganFive I'd love to have a pint or a cuppa with @MAJ1 and if I ever met @futurebird I probably could keep my terrible habit of interrupting in check to get like a download of everything she knows about... basically anything she posts about.

@Natasha_Jay for fashion tips although I'm not sure I could pull off what she does. I also kind of hope she tells as many puns in real life.

@LoganFive
I would like to meet everyone I follow. They seem like a great bunch of people!

@LoganFive what do you mean, "real life"? 😄

pretty sure I didn't make you all up.

@MxVerda @LoganFive I did not expect to see this here, especially from you! LOL

@LoganFive
Wow, I've a long list... I hope eventually to meet @tillybridges since she's fairly close, and get an autograph

@coleens_ is just down the road, and maybe next time work brings me back to her neck of the woods... I admire her look so much

I'd love to hang out with @WrenArcher and @Reborn_Cat_Mom, taunt the homophobe with @MelissaBearTrix

The list just goes on and on 😅

@LoganFive I have a big list of fine fedi-friends I'd love to meet IRL 🙂

@LoganFive five years ago, I'd have probably said sundog, but then he moved to ellijay to help me open an makerspace.

Then maybe the Gibson? But then he came by my coffee shop and his kid played some music for us.

These days, it's very much Russ and the rest of the circus freak crew (although, to be fair, I have met at least one of them at the makerspace...)

@LoganFive

@ozzelot invited all bonkists here, I am not a bonkist, but I wanted to throw in this bongost:

@kiefac it would be such a hypothetical pleasure!!
@LoganFive @foone Foone is freaking awesome. Would love to have a coffee with them.
@LoganFive if @alice @welshpixie or @polarity ever happened to be in Wellington New Zealand I would welcome the opportunity to say hello.
@LoganFive also, to answer, this crow:
@LoganFive Hard to choose, but @GrimmReality came to mind first. Livers grow back, right?

@LoganFive I have probably too many folks on my list. May as well be at least 85% of my "Following" list.

Now, how many can I cook for at once is a different logistical challenge altogether.

@LoganFive 👉@camerontw 👈 but I'm afraid my brain is too smol for that ☺️
@LoganFive everyone. I love all you folks. if you're around the SF Peninsula hmu for a coffee or drink.
@LoganFive Ricky Tarr and/or Alice McFlurry. They both just seem like an awesome time.
@LoganFive
Nobody at the moment. I wouldn't want to disillusion them about me.
@LoganFive definitely wouldn't mind meeting @stux . nearly happened once, but we ended up staying near paris too long and not going to his neck of the woods, so to speak.
@LoganFive but if I tag them they will assume I am a stalker!! ( @neil and @MelissaBearTrix are top of the list)

@LoganFive
Many years back, on a cycling forum, there was the question of who you'd most want to be trapped in a lift with.
Many folks named famous cyclists, other celebrities, and other folks on the forum.

The forum member I named is now my wife of 11 years.

On that basis I am not answering this question.

@Maker_of_Things @LoganFive I'd probably want to be trapped in a lift with someone good at getting out of lifts.

Sudden realisation that that's probably me. In which case, on the
litmus paper principle, I'd want to be with someone who appreciates some strategically applied Percussive Maintenance.
Andrew Lewis Workshop (@[email protected])

Reader, if you can; Marry the sort of person who keeps a roll of litmus paper in the antique china bowl on the bookshelf. If you can't marry that sort of person, then be the sort of person who keeps a roll of litmus paper in the antique china bowl on the bookshelf, and marry the sort of person who will casually ask if you have any litmus paper.

Mastodon

@kim @LoganFive @Maker_of_Things

Or, alternatively, with a public figure that folks would promptly mobilize to rescue from the lift, and who I would also not be seriously tempted to strangle in the meantime. That last consideration limits the candidate pool, but does not empty it.

@LoganFive

I love this question and the answers, I have been missing a few to follow until now.

@LoganFive I would love to chat with @nitot about the erooM law and how I am (trying to) implement it in my git forge!
@manland oh, wow, let's do this! Happy to do a video call with you about this! cc @LoganFive
@nitot @LoganFive If I thought it was so easy, I'd do it faster, whenever it's good for you, it's good for me. Spoiler: https://gitroot.dev
GitRoot

GitRoot is a small yet powerfull git forge.

@LoganFive I would have to say it’s a toss-up between @middleclasstool and @skinnylatte

The good news is that there are quite a few people here I actually have met IRL and every experience like that has enriched my life. (Metafilter and MacNN/Lifeboat meetups have all been legendary)

@LoganFive I’m just gonna tell the reader to scroll beige.party and jorts.horse and leave it at that
