Hey I'm Carroll (she/her), a newly out trans girl just looking for community!

I'm early 40s, live in the UK (), and enjoying tinkering with older computers

@CarrollMccz Hello! I usually tinker with bicycles, but hello anyways 😀
@milesizdead hello! oo that's neat! I haven't ridden a bike in so long, but I hear it's easy to get back on 
@CarrollMccz I’ve heard that as well. Riding them is much preferable to tinkering with them, even if that can be fun too 😀

@CarrollMccz Hi! :3

I like to cook c:

I really love chilis  

I make lots of mapo tofu x3

@miiamustang nice! I'm not very good with spicy food, but that sounds awesome!
@CarrollMccz Hi! Hope you enjoy your time here!

@CarrollMccz look for posts with tags that you are interested in and follow a lot of people. it may take some time to find and build your community.

what old computers are your favorite?

@poppis oo thanks for the tips!

I'm a XP era girlie, so currently putting together a PC to run my favourite old games like Unreal Tournament and such!

@CarrollMccz Welcome to the human-internet. Glad to have you!
@CarrollMccz Welcome to the Fedi. Large trans community, and lots involved with tech.

@CarrollMccz I don't know if there are any trans folks or people who enjoy tinkering with old computers on Mastodon...

jk, welcome! You've come to the right place.

@CarrollMccz Hi Carroll, nice to see you there 😊

@CarrollMccz welcome 😁

(I'm more of a crafts tinkerer outside of work, but I enjoy following people who tinker with older tech.)

@CarrollMccz Welcome here Carroll ☺️

@CarrollMccz You could d a lot worse than following @FediTips who has lots of excellent info for newcomers.

And a very warm welcome from me.

@CarrollMccz Welcome aboard. I hope you find your peeps.

Hi @CarrollMccz ! You can't say that and leave us hanging - what kind of old computers are you into? :-)

My mother (who I was mildly estranged from) died recently and I found all my old stuff still packed away in her house. I've not had time to go through all the boxes yet, but I have a faint hope my old TRS-80 model 100 is still in there... That thing had a cool form factor! And a workable portable computer was a huge novelty at the time.

@kitten_tech Hi! That's awesome, I'm more of an XP era girlie so been running a couple of PCs to play some of my favourite games from then 😄
@CarrollMccz mmm yes. I'm in a small community of people who play Team Fortress Classic, from 1999!
@CarrollMccz @Hyperiontrails Hi. I’m one of the older ones here now (i remember being one of the young ones but that was decades ago). I have my 8 bit micros still from back in the day plus a few extra I have acquired along the way! TRS-80 Model 1, BBC Micro, Electron, Master and then some of the 32 bit acorn machines…
@CarrollMccz welcome! We have at least one common interest, I like to try to repair old (Motorola based) macs.

@CarrollMccz

@CarrollMccz Welcome!
I am probably into other stuff, but I really wish you the best that you will be able to join the right community soon.
@CarrollMccz welcome to the party 🙂

@CarrollMccz
Hiya Carroll, welcome to the fedi. The way the internet ought to be!

I tinker with laptops so we have that to chatter about, 😊

@CarrollMccz

Hi Carroll! Good luck!

Heyo Carrol :3
What are your favorite retro platforms ???

@CarrollMccz Welcome. I hope, as a fellow UK person, you have a plan for our imminent heat death this week  . I am currently hiding in shade and shadow, and thinking of how I can dig a cellar under my house. You will definitely find a friendly home here

@CarrollMccz *waves* welcome

Stay a while and listen.

@CarrollMccz nice to meet you! I'm a mid forties trans woman/potato living up in Scotland.
