Just realized I lost my pinned post when moving to a new instance, so here's a new one. See my profile for an #introduction to who I am — what I want to talk about here is the project I've been working on the most recently. That project is #Regal, a linter and a language server for #OPA's policy language #Rego.

What started out as a simple linter is now a complete companion tool for anyone working with Rego, providing developers new to the language a platform for learning, and seasoned developers means to enforce best practices and guardrails around their policies.

If you're working with anything related to OPA and Rego, try it out! If it doesn't help you in your work, that's a bug and I want to know about it. And if there's anything else related to OPA or Rego you want to ask someone about, my DMs are always open for that.

Hello Mastodon, here is my belated #introduction - I am new not only to Mastodon, but to this kind of social media altogether.

I am a big #Fediverse enthusiast, German communist, weirdo, he/him pronouns. I recently set up this server here, with a #PeerTube and #Lemmy instance alongside this #mastodon one. The former are the platforms I usually use. All three platforms are open to registrations from interested people.

The interface is telling me I am running out of characters, how to communicat

hey! I've just moved here today and i thought I'd start by introducing myself. I'm an ecologist, specialized in avian and herpetofaunal ecology. i am also very interested in the data science aspect of the discipline, and i am working on getting more familiar with the ins and outs of R programming, and hopefully moving to more conventional programming, so i can feed into my other interests.

i am also muchly into open source software, specifically Emacs and Void Linux, and in my free time, work on contributing to Void Linux packages and my Emacs config. i tend to talk about all of these things a lot.

I'm big on cats. well, basically everything about them. expect a LOT of photos.

i also play the guitar a little and I'm predominantly into loud and dark music. I do talk about the music i listen to as well, both here and on my blog articles.

i also occasionally like to indulge in woodworking, and i hope to get more active with it

i have been blogging since 2016, on and off, and recently revived my blog after a hiatus of nearly 2 years.

#introduction

Salut ! Je suis un compositeur et musicien qui n'a jamais choisi d'équipe en ce qui concerne les styles musicaux. Ma zone de confort se situe entre le metal progressif/extrême, le jazz contemporain et le classique néo-romantique. J'aime les accords cool, bref. C'est ce que ça donne quand on grandit au rock progressif des années 70 et à la musique des jeux de rôle sur consoles et PC des années mi-90 en même temps.

Bien hâte d'être submergé par la créativité du fédivers !

#introduction

Hey! I'm a composer and musician who never really picked sides regarding music genres. My musical comfort zone lies somewhere between progressive and extreme metal, contemporary jazz and neo-romantic classical. I'm down for anything that has cool chords, really. That's what you get when you grow up to 70s progressive rock and the music of mid-90s console and PC RPGs simultaneously, I guess.

Really looking forward to basking in the creativity of the fediverse!

Hi, I’m Ellie.

I’ve jumped to Mastodon after realising (again) how toxic big tech is. Trump and Musk’s obsession with controlling social media sealed it—I miss when it was about connecting, not just a tool for the rich to twist public opinion.

I’ll post a little bit about politics (Carol Cadwalladr fan!) but also pretty pictures, my pet, and travel snaps. Looking forward to actual conversations—not just whatever the algorithm wants me to see.

I haven't done a reintroduction since I joined Fedi, and I wouldn't mind meeting and following more people. Boosts welcome.

Hello, I go by Null! I am a programmer, avid reader, long-time Tabletop RPG (TTRPG) GM, anticapitalist, weird horror fan, aspiring (if shy) writer, and a long suffering fan of anime. I identify as agender even though I don't talk about it much. I also enjoy cooking, brewing, mushrooms, gardening, ravens, typewriters, and well... a little of everything. I just like to answer questions.

I generally post random observations, tabletop RPG experiences, political thoughts (CWed), news commentary, short anime reviews, and the like. Please feel free to drop in for a message or reply - I'm open to conversation. Also, do feel free to let me know if I commit any faux pas. I'm pretty open to good-faith commentary and it's important to me that people feel safe.

Things I am reading right now (I can't focus on one book for long so I rotate):

* Field Notes from a Fungi Forager by Ashley Rodriguez
* The Tramp Printers by Charles Overbeck
* Liquidated by Karen Ho.
* We'll Prescribe You a Cat by Syou Ishida

So... Let's be friends?

#introduction #introductions #intros #intro

been a while since i've given a proper #introduction of myself, and there have been a lot to join the #ActivityPub -based social media since that time.

i'm religious in the Methodist #Christian philosophy sense, which means i can be tolerant and accept science. i'm a #TTRPG fanatic. and a software engineer by trade in the midwest.

#Introduction
I am here because I try to stop using the platforms of megalomanic oligarchs whose only two principles are money and power.

I like #frogs, #plants (in particular less common #houseplants), #photography, and people who respect each other regardless of background. I think I will post mostly in English, but it would be nice to meet other Swedes here, and perhaps even people from #umeå.

Let's see how things develop...

First post! #introduction

Hi everyone, I’m trying to make the leap from corporate-owned social platforms over to the #fediverse and #mastodon . I’m excited to be here, and would appreciate any tips to help me wrap my head around this. Thank you! #newhere

Dear Lovely Peeps:

An (re?) #Introduction might be in order. I have decided it is time to stop wandering & settle down in a nice sunny garden.

I've been around since 2016, and wherever I am, I try to create a wee gentle eddy of peace & whimsy in my corner of the Fediverse.

I have a #hope-full perspective. Am strongly influenced by #DoctorWho. Believe in a #SolarPunk / #HopePunk future. Manage to find small good things to celebrate every day.

Am interested in #FOSS, #travel, #photography, #sustainability, #accessibility, #reading, #writing, being #outside, #LowTech / #NoTech solutions, and a whole lot more.

(I have a neuro-spicy brain so 'a whole lot more' really is a LOT! )

Come in, have a scroll, and maybe breathe a little easier. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Hi Fediverse! My #Introduction - new here cause I'm missing the days of seeing art and humor all in one place without so much garbage. Some of my big interests are music (esp Japanese music), journaling/stationery, art...been considering getting into web dev lately as another hobby. I speak Japanese (more or less) and am LGBTQ! If any of that sounds cool, feel free to say hi
