Hi, I'm Thomas - new here and possibly moving from Threads because it's driving me nuts.
From the UK, live on a narrowboat, PhD in formal logic focussing on legal reasoning. Now a software engineer trying building a site to document arguments ( Controvis ) - argumentation is one of my main interests (both formal and not).
Economically left and socially liberal. Was a member of the Lib Dems but didn't think they took a hard enough stance against transphobia. So erm, maybe I'll join the Greens, I don't know.
@thomaschristopherking why is driving you nutz?

@thomaschristopherking Welcome! Intro posts are definitely a thing here. Hope you find your crowd here, it takes a little more effort to start with than other places.

No algorithm
No ads
No billionaire ownersPlenty of Linux, BSD, and open source users. And of course people interested in saving the planet.

@thomaschristopherking why is driving you nutz?
@theraccoonbytes hard to pinpoint. Partly the algorithm I think, I just get shown people making the worst takes from across the political spectrum. I don't just mean takes I disagree with, I mean ones that seem designed to get engagement/rile people up.

@thomaschristopherking hello!

I went to look at your company site and received an invalid SSL certificate error.@eljorgeabides OMG thank you for letting me know. It was working yesterday. Will see what is going on.

Feel free to ask questions about the site etc. It's really meant more as a social enterprise thing and I love discussing it with people.
Work in progress, recently big UI changes, and I still need to setup a site liveness check lol

I follow another UK narrowboat liveaboard, in case you'd like to compare notes:Welcome to the Mastodon community, where connection is more important than reach, and your own choices are the algorithm.

@thomaschristopherking@social.coop
Yep, introduction posts are a Fediverse tradition, as is boosting them to help them reach the widest audience. And if'n you're going to ask what is the Fediverse, its a collection of apps that can interact with one another, whether similar like Mastodon and Wafrn (I'm on this), or PeerTube and Friendica.

@thomaschristopherking Following you because I'm glad to see anyone insisting on a hard stance against transphobia from our politicians (yours, mine, any of them).

A bit jealous about the fact you live on a canal boat. We sadly have no real canal system in Switzerland ββ
