@MelodicDinosaur
wilkommen, bienvenue, welcome...Am new to Linux as well... big tech is big brother.
@DonChacale Thanks, Don. How are you finding it so far? I think I've just about got the hang of, like, GitHub, and the thing where you can make the terminal do a bonsai tree - so, the important stuff...

Hi, the Mastodons. I don't know how this works yet or how active I'll be here, but I thought I'd introduce myself.
I'm a UK-based female AuDHD adult, choosing to remain mostly anonymous. I'm really just curious about how the Fediverse works - I can be ambivalent about social media but I thought this sounded refreshing in contrast to the big, powerful platforms which feel scarier to me by the minute. I've also been getting to grips with Linux recently, and am thinking about other ways within my limited means and courage to try to be involved with more of the small things that are about moving away from exploitation and towards caring for each other.
Take care out there :)
@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! Find some hashtags to follow and start your own algorithm. It's pretty cool here.👋

Hello, random person, from another random person.
@billstatler Hello, random person. I hope you're well. I'm open to sporadic chatting if you'd like to, or not, if not :)

@MelodicDinosaur do you know about hashtags around here? The algo is chronological so tags are very helpful. Such as #actuallyAutistic or #AuDHD . There are a bunch of great weird ones too, #lichensubscribe (for lichen pics), #asstodon (donkey pics), #caturday (which today is). Check out @FediTips if ever you feel lost (:

Damn. The lichen people got to her first.
(It's either lichen, cats or sourdough around here. Pick your tribe.)But seriously, welcome on board - great choice of server, you won't get flooded with shit on there!
My unasked-for advice - if you find that you've followed someone who floods your timeline you don't have to unfollow or mute them - you can also just turn their boosts off (if that's the problem) or if it's more a verbal diarrhoea thing put them in a list of their own.
Have fun. And stay away from the lichen freaks.

@MelodicDinosaur welcome welcome:) and good luck on your fediverse journey.
If anything there are *too* many people eager to talk about Linux on here, but... maybe thats a good thing? :)
There are definitely many people willing to engage on how we can make everything less awful, and that is unambiguously a good thing
@abs0 Oof. Why didn't I come sooner?

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome to the Fediverse. Mastodon might be just the place for you. Take the time to search for and follow users and hashtags that you're interested in as it works best once you've curated your feed. Also don't be afraid to boost things as this also helps with engagement.
From my experience so far, Mastodon is a pretty inclusive place with regards to neurodiversity and nerdy stuff like Linux etc. That could also just be my personal experience based on who I follow, but I'm sure you'll find some engaging topics.
You basically get what you give so don't hold back. 😉
@pfr Thank you! :)

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! The Fediverse is truly what you make of it

THEY KNOW WHAT THEY DID -
@MelodicDinosaur
There are a lot of people that don't know any more about this place than you do who are still good people and would like to talk to you. There are a lot of people who are involved in various Linux projects that would be happy to help out if you get stuck somewhere. Welcome to Mastodon.@bardmoss Thank you. That'd sure be a relief - and it'll be good to make some new friends.

@gparenti My *ownnnn* algorithm! :) :)

True.
If you can, please store both literature and text books securely underground so that future generations can dig them up and use them.
This way, the knowledge of 2000 years won't be completely lost to either the Stupids or the Savages.
Thanks.

@Hedgewizard Oop! A friendly Hedgewizard. Hello!
I hope you'll forgive my asking such a purrsonal question - you're a very handsome cat, but are you a familiar or representative of the wizard or are you the wizard himself?
I'd rather not have to choose a tribe but it'd better not be sourdough because I tried one once and forgot about it and then it just got smelly and I threw it away so I'm afraid the little yeasts that live in the air will gang up on me if I ever try it again.
As for lichen vs. cats, I'll have to think carefully about this. I do like my new lichen friends but I don't want to end up embroiled in gang warfare. I'll have to seek specialist advice.

@MelodicDinosaur
I am an older autistic gentleman who is getting sick and tired of being older. But I don't bite. There are some instances which are only for autistics, such as the one I'm on, autistics.life. also depending on how accepting of different kinds of people you are, there are lots of good people on beige.party.
I am peripherally a member of the Bodhi Linux team. I don't know what I'm talking about most of the time, but I try to be helpful. -

@MelodicDinosaur Welcome! Never feel bad about being selective about who you follor or who you decide to let follow you. Browse around a bit, engage with others, and you'll find 'your people' soon enough. :)

Boring, as expected 🙂
