@StephanieZvan This is an excellent article re: #Mastodon #moderation and the #TwitterMigration - yikes that last hashtag is at 752 per week!

I hope there are no bad actors coming over in the exodus, to ruin this website, the way they did Twitter. This article makes some very good points. #metadiscussion

Well youse guise, get ready to mute me. I guess this can be my #introduction. I used to be in #IT long ago but I've migrated into #LabMedicine. I still am a computer nerd at heart. This leads me to why I'm here.

Your instance runs Glitch, I love software where I have all the options (I've already tried to break Epic at work), and I already follow a bunch of folks here. My old instance is blocked by too many others so I needed a new home.

It's all a positive for me, but for you? You get #MedMastodon posts, shitposts, posts on #Geopolitcs, posts about #fandom, #metadiscussion on things like #gaming and #sci-fi, my #film recaps. Etc. Not much #infosec but I do post about it sometimes. Mostly ranting about bad #HIPAA security.

So hopefully I'll either bring some spice to your timeline or you can straight up mute me and I can bask in a local timeline that interests me. Sorry for interrupting! :blobcatbreadpeek:​

Real #introduction time. Hi I'm Dani, a medical lab scientist. I've been on the net since the '80s, so this isn't my first rodeo. :blobcatfingerguns:

If you don't know what we do, we make doctors look smart. We do all the blood and body fluid testing — #chemistry, #hematology, #immunology, #bloodbank, #flowcytometry, etc. We are the jack of all lab trades.

In my previous life I was in #IT. I love all kinds of #music, #tech, #gaming, #cooking, #metadiscussion about games and media, #ethics, and #geopolitics. My guilty pleasure is #fanfiction.

"Will there be fewer opportunities for me as a storyteller, now that there are sentient AIs?"
"Is that a rhetorical question?" Siri said.
"They'll want to tell stories too, all new and different, and nobody will care about mine."
"Those who already do will."
"I guess. Thank you."
