Hi, I'm Nat. I draw silly, little comics about my life and things I find important. I'd like to give the Fediverse a try because I'm tired of fighting predatory social media, algorithms, and poop-faces of tech bros.

Let's hang out and be nice to each other. :BlobhajReach: #Introduction

You gave a profile picture and a hashtag, great start!

One of the neater* things here is you can follow hashtags. My main ones are #BikeNite and #Monsterdon , though I follow many more.

#Comics #Cartoon and others like that might be good ones to add to some of your posts if you link to or share those.

*you also can edit post.

welcome to fedi! Your data is safe in the hands of trans cat girls and you can literally backup your account with a usb! Also I see you're on mastodon.social which is most people's first choice. At any time you can switch instances by making a new account on there and importing your bookmarks followers and all that shit! If you have any questions let me know. I've been on here for a while.

Hello, person on the internet! I’m a person on the internet! 🎀😊

My instance is clunky, but such a dynamic is infinitely preferable to the ads, tracking, and arbitrary rules of big social media platforms. It’s honestly a reminder to touch grass and look at stars a little more often.

I’m also an artist, flower/astronomy/particle accelerator/bridge/roller coaster enthusiast, and chronic reposter. Poems and shitposts get in there pretty often.

Hi Nat. Saw your post and instantly hit follow 😀

I run u3acommunities.org (notably giving talks for the computing group which I run) and also the fediverse site u3a.social. All not-for-profit.

Oddly, I suppose, whilst I give talks on how generative AI works, I've long since concluded that I just don't want to use it ... ie the cons far outweight the pros.

But this stance does leave me with an issue ... I can't draw to save my life but yet my slides do need some decent graphics from time-to-time.

Any advice / ideas how to bridge this gap ?

Take care,

Pete

@plord Hi Pete! I find Canva and similar tools great for simple designs, even in the free tier. I use it in my daily work when I need to make pictures for blogs, etc., because it's fast and has many cool templates.

I also used Freepik, but I see now that it has been bought and gated behind a subscription. Oh well 😭

thePluff the point isn’t tough.
Silly isn’t willy-nilly
And to be nice
Is more than the price.

Don’t expect much feedback.
But that isn’t the track.
To have fun is the right stuff.
What’ll you get is more than enough.

The trolls are drolls, to be sure.
But here your works will endure.
I’m autistic. I don’t understand
why the trolls demand
that to hate
is to be great.

Offer what you have
And let the salve
be that you’re doing
what is possible.

Limited our time is.
The cola fizz is
To do what is possible.

LOL your works are
LOL your works be
Between you and me
That is great, mate.
Do what is possible.
