I suppose it's time for an introduction post. My name is Patrick, and I live in Seattle. I am an avid kayaker--teaching kayaking is also what I do for work.
Looking at my posts on the old instance, it seems I post mostly about kayaking, cooking, flowers, beer, and occasionally my children.

You are welcome to use https://emerging.now/ an emerging instance of #Mobilizon for neighbours, activists, artists, musicians and more, but not capitalists, fascists, Zionists, or creeps in general.

* post events
* create groups
* post as you, or as groups
⁂ follow groups on the #fediverse
* RSS/Atom/ICS/WebCal: sync to calendar apps and more

Only posting events on Instagram, Facebook etc. excludes people without accounts. Here's an alternative!

Here's a new #introduction for my #newinstance

I'm Pat, a 60-something guy in the suburbs of #Chicago, #USA. I'm #Catholic, love #boxing (and box for exercise myself). I'm a #foodie and love to #cook, #bake, and make #bbq for my friends and family. I'm also a bit of a nerd, and you can find me here on #Mastodon, instead of all the corporately-entangled social media.

Since we will be shutting down #AllThingsTech in the coming weeks, I have decided to create an account over on infosec.exchange at this time.

Thank you to @jerry for the very warm welcome and for allowing me to migrate over.

I would greatly appreciate all of you who follow me here do so on my new account that I'll be migrating to fully in the next couple of days.

That account is: @cliffwade@infosec.exchange

We are getting ready to launch the public registrations for #nonprofit #SocialMedia for #BritishColumbia folks on January 1st - #SOSSBC #SocialBC

Well, I’ve set myself up to produce a magnificent #introduction, so here goes.

My name is Simon.

I have lived in the north of Norway since 1992.

I am a teacher in middle school.

I translate Norwegian and other Scandinavian folklore.

I have published several collections of this material, including the first ever English edition of The Complete Norwegian Folktales and Legends of Asbjørnsen & Moe in its entirety.

I have a Website, and various other social media accounts from which I point back to my Website.

Mastodon is the site on which I am social (to the extent that I ever am).

Recomendação de instância?

Tenho até o fim de maio para sair do fim.social.

I'm currently in the process of moving instances. Which is easy, compared to a lot of other moves I've undertaken. Maybe the people who keep telling me that Mastodon is "too complicated" are just a bit lazy...?
Anyway, nice to be here! I'll write a proper introduction post later.

Exciting News from BSD Cafe!

After a long journey in my mind, the BSD Cafe project is finally taking shape. Registered the domain a year ago, and last July, I unveiled the first piece: our Mastodon instance. Since then, Miniflux, Matrix, and recently, our public Wiki have joined the family, inviting everyone to contribute.

The community's response has been overwhelming, far exceeding my expectations. It's clear there's a thirst for modern, decentralized, open tools to nurture our favorite BSDs and our community.

One early idea (also suggested by many) was a forum. However, existing BSD forums felt repetitive. I craved something more modern, decentralized.

After weeks of experimentation, I'm thrilled to announce another cornerstone of BSD Cafe: BlendIT!

https://blendit.bsd.cafe is a Lemmy instance centered on our beloved BSDs and more. For those unfamiliar, Lemmy is a decentralized, federated alternative to Reddit, compatible with ActivityPub. Meaning, yes, you can follow and interact with Lemmy communities from Mastodon and other Fediverse software.

Lemmy isn't just a Mastodon clone. While Mastodon excels in microblogging without algorithms, where old statuses fade into oblivion, Lemmy keeps everything organized, using algorithms to manage newsfeeds.

BlendIT aims to be a hybrid - a mix of a Forum, Wiki, Mastodon instance, and more - all seamlessly integrated into the Fediverse.

I've set up some basic communities where users (registration is open and manually approved like Mastodon) can create news, discuss, vote, and even follow communities from other Lemmy instances.

BlendIT (a play on Reddit, symbolizing the blend of our diverse BSD OS), like the Wiki, could become a vital tool for spreading information about our favorite BSDs - but only with your help.

Let me know if you encounter any issues or have suggestions. Happy registering!
