hi, i'm Nicoleta - never used a microblogging platform so this is all new to me :)

@mehanix welcome! I've also just started using this platform recently and have found it pretty nice. Hope you have a similar experience!

@mehanix hi there! also new here and to microblogging in general, happy to report that you caught my eye and we have some common interests so here's a bit about me:
‣ fascinated by computers, the hacker/digital rights/free software movements moreso than the rest
‣ a digital artist, still getting used to krita after a lifetime of traditional art; favoring character design and storytelling through composition and style atm
‣ sadly not anywhere near you, but i'd be happy to stay in touch!

@mehanix you might want to look at the solarpunk hashtag, it’s kind of the combination of hacker culture and sustainability

Welcome Nicoleta! There are lots of very interesting people here. You are responsible for finding your folks.

What I do is when someone posts something interesting, I tap on their avatar image left of their screen name at the top of their post and look at their profile page. If they seem like interesting people, I follow them. If someone turns out to be not who you thought, you can unfollow them later. Follow lots of people starting out.

@mehanix Hello! Greetings from Moldova! ~~my romanian sucks so I won't even try ~~
Depending on you, it could be really chill platform or very bustling. Following lots of interesting people and then muting or sorting them is way to manage how engaged you wish your home feed to be.

Saw you discussing about horror games... I watched some play throughs but scared to play them... Have House and Count Lucanor to play someday...
Had discussion about Stardew valley and someone mentioned a psychological horror one which also notably has visual work done from Celeste. Game is called Neverway and has demo for now and release by the end of the year.

There a lot of game diversity in my life mostly lots of different indies, but my hot topic is Arknights. Wanted something on phone with catgirls, came for catgirls stayed because of good gameplay and store and lore building.

Have fun and enjoy Fediverse .
