In the #conlang (CONstructed LANGuage) community, the month of December is the annual challenge to create one word a day for one's conlang(s) for the whole month. Since I am a conlanger myself, I plan to toot at least once a day during this challenge and perhaps replying to many others' toots. Since I am more active in conlanging on the interwebs than I am in #infosec, I have decided to move my account to a more appropriate instance.

The community here is much kinder and friendlier. We also have the chance to more efficiently drown out the extemporaneous noise. I'm looking forward to #Lexember and seeing everyone else's minds at work! @conlang

Are there any conlangers in Hawai'i? O'ahu to be more precise. Looking to see if there is enough interest—and/or people—to start a local meet up. @conlang #conlang

I have some thoughts about making a Persian-speaking community here in Mastodon. This may consists of several steps:

- finding Persian speakers already here
- translate Mastodon interface into Persian
- reporting and fixing RTL bugs in the interface
- making a new instance with Persian defaults
- inviting friends from Twitter, G+, etc. to #Mastodon

If you speak #Persian, #Dari, or #Tajik, please boost this toot!

@CreepPhone This is pretty! I don't know if I've seen this writing system before...

@bookstodon @linguistics A question prompted by a post I saw: what are the best #ScienceFiction #scifi books where #languages play an important part?

There’s 1984, obviously. Even more obviously, The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance. The Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie has some interesting language features in terms of gender identity, power and mutual intelligibility.

I’m sure there are loads more - this is ‘off the top of my head’ - what others would you recommend?

Could I tempt you to boost this post, or get involved in a project to customise Linux for users with special needs/learning difficulties? I have two such children. Adults now (18). I want to do something for my boys and for people like them. 🙂❤️

I've already done a bit, using Ansible, with AlmaLinux and Ubuntu: https://github.com/robpomeroy/BrightOS

Please spread the word - I'm sure someone out there would love to get involved!
