Hi new people from Tumblr! I hope you're settling in okay. Feel free to poke me if there's anything I can help you with.

One thing that isn't said enough is that, while the fediverse is a nice place, and your hard-working instance admin will help keep the worst elements way, you'll still run into people you don't like. Some people will rub you up the wrong way, or are just butts. That's okay! Mute, block, whatever and carry on. Please don't get disheartened because it's not perfect.

Hello, I am lumb. I like fighting and fire and am extremely gay, all the time. It’s overwhelming how gay I am like seriously. Sometimes I worry that I might be too gay and I get kinda scared.

Arby’s Cashier: Neat.

my favorite part about all of the new folks is the bit where they don't realize that their toots are being shared across the entire federation

the beauty of a distributed network is that it's a lot more than just one site. it's actually a lot of individual instances...

there's no single "this site". thank goodness, since it means that there wont't be any tumblr-style shut downs here.

Oh are we all introducing ourselves?

I'm Roxy and I've decided to go mad and go down the indie dev path with absolutely no money to back me up

#introductions again!

Hi I'm Annika and I'm some shark girl who is a total mess of gender.

I'm trans and have been on HRT for almost 3 years. I'm cute and so is my sona.

I'm also plural, and @wntrdrgn@snouts.online and @voidsnek are my two headmates!

Please pet shark.

Hello new users! A gentle reminder: @Gargron runs the site. @cm_kropot and I are the primary moderators. Of the three of us, I am transgender.

That makes ME the gatekeeper of trans people on mastodon.social.

As that gatekeeper, I have removed the gate on mastodon.social.

It's against our rules to discriminate against trans people or to tell trans people they're "being trans wrong". I am tired of hearing the words "tucute" and "truscum". They do not belong here.

Thanks!

tumblr? pfft, kids these days.

back in my day, we had a xanga account and we LIKED it

about 6 years ago, i wrote plug-ins for a commercial package

about 4 years ago, those plugins morphed into their own non-commercial forum package

about 6 months ago, i shuttered the project after running it live for that whole time

i still can't believe that the only programming project i ever finished was forum software... in the era that forums are seriously dying.

@lynnesbian Linux? What's that?

I'm still hosting on Windows ME. Let me know whenever Windows YOU comes out.

Please remember to read the rules for mastodon.social: https://mastodon.social/about/more

Specific notes that I've noticed:

* Please don't post nudes, either photos or drawings, to the public timeline without using the "sensitive image" overlay (the "eye" icon that appears when you add an image)

* Please don't use anti-gay or racial slurs even in jest (we don't know you, and have to assume you mean them seriously)

In lighter news tho, my youngest kitter discovered the wonders of mirrors today and I wanted to cry lmao
