I think it was almost 2 years ago when I first created an account here, then promptly did nothing with it. Now I have to relearn how this federated thing and the new app all work together.
Plus, I am on the look out for more geeky, funny, inspiring and educational people to follow. I love data (its all I work with), sci-fi shows/books, introverted humor, Apple (finally caved and switched from Windows to a MacBook), and reaffirming people’s rights to be who they are and love who they love.
Don't get tired of me posting work, #trans masto. Tomorrow I'll share an interview w a mom who moved her trans son out of Texas.
#TransAwarenessWeek
It's the most connection I've made in an interview. Not only am I trans, like her son, I parented trans and gender nonconforming youth in the foster system.
We talked about hard stuff, including self injury, which both her son (recently) and I (as a teen) struggled with.
I hope you'll really like it.
Lots of discussion here of whether #Mastodon is fundamentally good or could become like the birdsite.
But the #fediverse isn’t one or the other. The network is whatever we make it.

BOOST, BABY, BOOST
When you only ⭐ a post, only two people are ever going to see it: you and the original poster.
Is that how you want your posts treated??
(HINT: NO, you don't. You really, really don't 💤)
Oh, folks still like getting faves!
But ONLY getting faves strands people.
Who wants that?!
BOOSTED posts however, are going to get passed around to your followers AND all of the followers of each person that boosts them next!
That's where the magic happens!😎
YOU are the algorithm that fills HOME feeds!
Don't be afraid of boosting too much! Each user controls how much and of what that they see, so no worries!
And it never hurts to double someone's joy by slapping a ⭐ on a post that you boost!😉
Have some fun, make some fun!
✌️
I like the idea that I have to find people I like, not have an algorithm feed me everything. That being said, as an introvert, networking is not my strong point! #INTJ
If you like #data #skyCOTL #clashofclans or just other #techie stuff, I might find and follow you. Thank you for putting up with me…. :-)
Me? Computer geek (data engineer) by day, iPad Gamer on the couch in the evening (Sky and Clash of Clans), husband and father all the time.
Just dipping my toe in slowly here…. I was never a big Twitter user to begin with (maybe a dozen tweets ever), but had to move when things changed there. I am curious to see how things work out.
