<![CDATA[Do people do intro posts on Mastodon?]]>Do people do intro posts on Mastodon? I don't know.

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.

Yes, people do intro posts, and often pin them on their profile page!

They're also good to use in introductory posts or just posts in general as well, I just didn't suggest editing your intro post because I wasn't sure if you were limited to 500 characters or not. 🙂

Intro posts are the best possible introductions on Mastodon.

I would also recommend including hashtags in your profile, for as many of the topics and things you're interested in. Due to the lack of an algorithm, hashtags do lots of heavy lifting on Mastodon, and they're the easiest way to find people with shared interests.

Welcome!

"argumentation is one of my main interests"

No it isn't.

Furthest we've gotten to the sea was on the tidal Thames. So storms aren't really a concern (er, if they were we would be in trouble because our type of boat has a very shallow draft).

I mean, it does knock about a bit when it's stormy but it's not an issue really.

I hope where you are moored has some physical protections.

My dad owned a sailboat with three other couples back when Pier 39 was in use in San Francisco (since taken over by sea lions). The marina wanted to sell permanent slip fees, but I talked my dad out of it. Good thing. "Lifetime" don't mean shit if the marina goes under.

Took a boat across the lake, went up a mountain, down the other side, and got a boat back (I think, or maybe it was a train). The fact that's possible blows my mind.

So, one aspect is damp and humidity. In general a lot of maintenance work that some people love and others not. The main pluses for me are the travelling, being in the middle of nowhere or in the middle of a city (though we are permanently moored for the upcoming years now), and the nature.
