Migrated here from mastodon.hams.social purely to be on a more local server.
Try and keep this account mostly amateur radio. Main interest is Summits On The Air, but intrigued by everything else amateur radio too.
Keen mountain biker, parent, husband and whippet wrangler.
re- #introduction Hey everyone! This is The Moto Network (TMN).
A brand ( account? website? something? ) for #motorcycle enthusiasts with a flair for tech and engineering.
This account used to be on the Bikers.Social server under the name Revidian Moto. That server is shutting down so we made our own.
We're building tools that motorcyclist might want to use and hoping to help share moto education along the way. Including this Mastodon instance that all bikers are welcome to use.
#Introduction:
(Audio in post above)
Ever since my teens, I've been told I have a nice voice. A radio voice. It didn't occur to me until much later that this praise came from people attracted to my gender presentation, and had little to do for my professional potential in broadcasting. In Seconde - that's Y11 in the UK, tenth grade in the US, there was one girl in particular with whom I'd developed this "we're a boy and a girl, but we're best friends!" vibe that meant hours of chat on the landline - it was the 90s. Funny how insecure teenagers will delude themselves into relational Platonism rather than look at what is staring them in the face. Or the voice, in this instance.
This anecdote came in the middle of an decade long-arc of my catching, then incubating the drama bug. I fancied myself a bit of a thespian, a luvvie, but in retrospect, it was a fantastic course in masking, which is how I survived high school. Still how I survive it today, but back then I didn't have the word. Doesn't everyone play a role to meet the demands of the social situation? Surely? I couldn't be autistic, I had friends and wasn't obsessed with trains. Surely?
Around the same time, I got into sound - ostensibly music and its production, but, later, having trained in sound engineering in London as a Gap yaaaar after my real studies, got into all aspects of audio engineering, including spoken word.
All of those would come to combine in the romantic - and erotic - life of my thirties. On the romantic side, reading to each other in bed, with my enjoying giving characters their own, often silly, voices. Recording audiobooks for my lover. On the erotic side, my love language was little voicenotes, sometimes half-professionally produced, because I'm still waiting for at least basic EQ and compression in Signal. I never forget that, mediated through mic and headphones, the voice you listen to crossed less distance in the air that if you were speaking face to face. That's why aural is so intimate.
Fast forward a decade, and, one evening, just for LOLz, I offered my services to @AltAfterDark. Well, not *just* for LOLz, there clearly was a part of me that wanted to get @alice hot and bothered. I had sent a tastefully lit nudes, a year ago, but they must get plenty. The voice, the accent, the narration of their and @h3mmy prose l was a USP.
Little did I know that I'd lit up the touchpaper. Like the wick on a long red stick or dynamite, or the candle on a little enby muffin. 72 hours later, have opened my long-term fuck-buddy relationship into a Transatlantic Thruple, so my partner could share in the crush I was developing on Alice; joined her polycule as a remote team member, and read thousands of words of sultry smoky salty smut, creating an alt account to share the joy and let my sensuous, skilled French voice insinuate itself inquisitively into your ears.
Hi, I'm Monsieur B. Glad to be here.
Horny alt account. This is the soft launch, though it's not going to stay soft very long
Providing Aural stimulation for the enjoyment of all, here, on @AltAfterDark, and soon who knows where else.
Send me your smut and I'll make it sound twice as smutty. Point me to a pick with alt-text and I'll give it a saucy reading.
As per the quote consistently misattributed to Picasso, 'the purpose of your life is to find your gift, the meaning of life is to give it away'.
The first one's done, this account is for the second. Help me spread the joy.
Testimonials:
"omg, that voice " —Alice
" - @alice
"Very much agree that is a nice voice. :blobcatpuffyblush:" - @h3mmy
But don't take it for them (or them, or them both), go listen, read, watch and enjoy at @AltAfterDark
Hi, hello, I'm new here! #introduction
I'm a girly otome gamer, fanfic reader, webtoon enjoyer and kawaii stuff lover. Graduated college this year so I have some hours back to myself to just play around. I have a 9-to-5 job so I don't keep up with things as I used to.
I am trying this instance after Wafrn because I feel like it's harder to find Fedi fandom peeps there, since Bsky keeps popping up. I hope I can bond over romance stories and cute boys from dating sims and other medias
I loved Kpop Demon Hunters, A Date With Death (dating sim), Our Life (Dating Sim), Homicipher (horror dating sim?), FOSS, retro games, digital minimalism and I blog in my mother tongue
That's it! Hope we can get along

Haven't been on Mastodon in a bit, but I'm starting to get back into it. Guess now's as good a time as any for another #introduction
By day, I'm a software engineer focused on low-level security. By night, I'm a landscape photographer and security researcher.
I hope to connect with like-minded photographers and technical people alike!
new instance, new #introduction
hi, i’m Theo, 30-something year old from europe. i’m queer (nonbinary, though agender is a bit more accurate, and some sort of aro-ace), and neurodivergent (mostly audhd, but there are other things going on). i’m a librarian and spend too much time reading and thinking about books. i’m currently working on unmasking, being my authentic self, and trying to be a bit more open about some of my more "unusual" interests
if you follow me expect me to talk about:
- books
- movies and tv shows
- gardening and nature
- cats
- completely random things i’ve just found/heard about and wanted to mention
- day to day life
- audhd/disability rants
- joys and struggles with my queer identity
- whatever little things that randomly pop into my mind
- occasional shitpost
- and lots of boosts
i'm here to meet new people and hopefully make some friends, so don't be afraid to say hi and follow

phew alright, time for an #introduction -
y'all can call me Fields! i'm a semi-recent cs graduate in my mid-twenties who's a lil technology dweeb - especially for anything FOSS or exceedingly novel.
i'm in-between jobs at the moment, but have worked as an SDET at a large tech consulting firm and have a number of personal projects from my time in uni and elsewhere on my github! i'm happiest working when i'm able to build alongside others on projects that i think are fun or important.
while i'm definitely a junior developer, i hope to start making contributions to open-source projects to gain confidence and experience in software development! (open to suggestions - especially for anything web related!) i have a wide variety of interests in tech, and have dabbled in a bit of everything from competitive robotics to CAD and amateur game development.
besides work, i love watching movies/shows, reading books, playing games, building things, and going into nature with my partner and dog. i'm currently obsessed with the Three Body Problem series and Helldivers 2, and probably will be for a while!
to be entirely honest, i'm still in the middle of figuring myself and my goals out. i still haven't entirely come to grips with the freedom of time that comes with being out of school, and my social life has taken a bit of a nosedive since my uni roommates have moved away.
i want to start to write more about my projects and things i like, and i plan to be spewing those thoughts and feelings into the fediverse here! i always accept constructive criticism, so feel free to do so or just to yap at me!
finally - any thoughts or opinions expressed here are my own! thank you for reading!
Hello instance!
Social media never looked interesting before but I'm having more and more the need to interact with people outside my physical bubble, both for diversity and for interest sharing, and mastodon looks great for that. At least I already found interesting people to follow.
I'm very keen on #anonymity, #privacy, #freedom and #empathy they are the cornerstones of a fair (even if not equal) society, IMO.
Hello! It's my first post here (#newhere) and I have no idea what I'm doing.
I'm a musician from Eastern France, playing medieval instruments and recording pagan folk / neo folk music.
I've released two albums so far: Leaves Are Falling (full length, in 2020, feat. among others Michalina Malisz, ex-Eluveitie) and Prelude to Farewell (EP, 2024).
I'll upload some music videos here soon.
