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.
@thomaschristopherking Welcome to the fediverse. Thank you for leaving X. The world is better for your doing so.

@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.

@thomaschristopherking Yes, and welcome. Here you'll find
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.

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).

@thomaschristopherking this is a cool intro. What is it like to live on a boat?
