Moin und herzlich willkommen im Fediverse und besonders natürlich auf punkstodon.de (, punk.photos und punktube.net)! Cool, dass ihr hier seid.
Das Fediverse funktioniert ein wenig anders, als ihr es evtl von anderen Plattformen gewohnt seid. Hier wird einem nix von einem Algorithmus vorgekaut, den muss man sich quasi "selbst basteln". Aber keine Sorge, das ist ganz einfach. Folgt interessanten Accounts, nutzt und folgt Hashtags (das A und O hier!) dann habt ihr bald eine interessante Timeline.
Gut ist es auch immer, wenn ihr euer Profil mit den wichtigsten Dingen (nach eurem Gusto) ausfüllt. Und nützlich ist auch immer ein kurzer Vorstellungspost, versehen mit dem Hashtag # NeuHier (natürlich ohne Leerzeichen). Da kommen schnell die ersten Reaktionen und follows zustande.
Für Punk Inhalte checkt doch mal den https://fedi.punk.guide und folgt hier der "Gruppe" @punk
Wenn ihr Fragen habt, wendet euch gerne an @jan , @rwaschbaer oder @elminuto.
Und nun viel Spaß hier im Fediverse!

Hello and welcome to the Fediverse, and especially to punkstodon.de (, punk.photos and punktube.net)! It's great to have you here.
The Fediverse works a little differently than you may be used to from other platforms. Here, nothing is spoon-fed to you by an algorithm; you have to “build it yourself,” so to speak. But don't worry, it's very easy. Follow interesting accounts, use and follow hashtags (the be-all and end-all here!), and you'll soon have an interesting timeline.
It's also always a good idea to fill out your profile with the most important things (according to your taste). And a short introductory post with the hashtag # NewHere (without spaces, of course) is always useful. This will quickly generate the first reactions and follows.
For punk content, check out https://fedi.punk.guide and follow the “group” @punk
If you have any questions, feel free to contact @jan, @rwaschbaer or @elminuto.
And now, have fun here in the Fediverse!

I did a writeup of my re-watch of “Alien” (1979) for this month's IndieWeb movie club. I talk about some of the sound design, and a portion of the score that I noticed sounds surprisingly like Bartók.

Thanks @alabut for hosting this month!

#WhitefishMT - #ConservationEasement enhances #WildlifeCorridor near Whitefish

Jan. 13, 2026 — "A newly created conservation easement along the #StillwaterRiver west of Whitefish is expected to help secure a critical wildlife corridor.

"Doug and Carolyn Kohrs worked with #FlatheadLandTrust to establish the 110-acre conservation easement earlier this month. The acreage, which augments a 655-acre conservation easement that the couple established in 2022, connects with the 1,560-acre #KuhnsWildlifeManagementArea and vast swaths of state and federally managed forestlands.

" 'Carolyn and I are excited to add this additional piece of wildlife-critical land to our existing easement,' said Doug Kohrs of the easement. 'Secure and safe wildlife corridors are important for all the different animal species who live in the valley, especially as the inevitable development creeps closer to their natural habitat.'

"The Kohrs have personally documented 95 bird species on the property, along with vital #wildlife species like #GrizzlyBears, #BlackBears, #MountainLions, #wolves, #bobcats, #elk and #deer. The easement also includes a stretch of the Stillwater River that provides habitat for #BullTrout and #WestslopeCutthroatTrout.

"The land was slated for an eight-home #subdivision before the Kohrs acquired it in 2005.

"The terms of the conservation easement prohibit division of the property and regulate construction to specific areas. The land can still be used for #agriculture.

"The easement is perpetual, meaning any future landowners would be required to abide by the same requirements.

" 'Just as this land serves as a vital anchor for a critical wildlife corridor, the Kohrs themselves have become a cornerstone of conservation in the #FlatheadValley,' reads a Jan. 6 press release from Flathead Land Trust. "Their dedication has created the essential framework for a landscape that remains open, connected and productive, ensuring that the region's natural character endures for generations."
