I see that in 2025, I've been posting in Finnish 90% of the time and in English only 10%, mainly due to the huge influx of Finnish users this year. In previous years, it was the opposite - 90% English and 10% Finnish.

The best part? It doesn't matter here in the Fediverse. With language filtering and translation features, it's truly a top-tier social media.

Probably about time for a new (re) #Introductions post to pin! Been bumbling around on Mastodon since November 2017 on one server or another, and happy to get cozy in a smaller server this time. :ablobwave:

I’m not a heavy poster, but lean mostly towards #SciCom and pictures of the #critters and #wildlife I spot in my central Florida backyard or from adventures on my #camping trips.

I’m currently a #caregiver, formerly a professional #Library knowledge ninja. Strong believer in the #RightToRepair and lifelong #Sewcialist. I love fixing and mending things.

My #NeuroSpicy flavour is #80HD, so it may be unsurprising that my academic studies and interests are hella broad. I spend a lot of time digging into local ecology and #HabitatRestoration and preservation. I’m a #space and aeronautics nerd, but I'm also a #Polyglot with an academic background in #linguistics, adult literacy, and ESL. The other part of my academic background is the technical side of theatre.

@wfryer I also have an older phone (14 Pro), but just got a new mini to try it. It’s a disappointment.

There’s no genmoji nor image playground yet, and about the text processing: It doesn’t matter if I set the system and Siri to english, at least half of the communications I receive are not in English, and #AI can not process it: not the mails, not the messages, not my calendar.

Right now, it is #useless for any #polyglot

if you’re the singer in a band, and you tour internationally, wouldn’t you want to speak multiple languages? I feel like you should. For those times between songs, when you’re talking to the audience. If you could, that would set you apart from other bands. Those fans would respect you even more

Which languages depends on where you tour most often.

“Dev by a thousand cuts”

That’s often what #rustlang feels like. I started learning C in the late 80s and BASIC before that. Since then I’ve become an expert in several languages and proficient in several others. I’m an experienced #polyglot and though the rust compiler is by far the most helpful - and pushing other compilers to improve - there’s a lot of sharp edges in the grammar itself. Some other polyglots I’m getting into the language agree.

I'm at the #PolyglotGathering in Prague, for the first time since right before the pandemic (2019).

One highlight so far: "If you think Indonesian and Malay are easy, you haven't met the rest of the family" - Brian Loo, in his talk on comparative phonology and grammar of Austronesian languages. This also holds if your primary exposure to Austronesian languages was Polynesian (Hawai'ian, Māori, etc).

Unfortunately, I seem to be the only person trying to wear a mask in indoor spaces, even at an event with over 800 people. I haven't gotten any pushback on this, but the combination of mask + queer hair + bad at pretending to be neurotypical does occasionally draw looks.

Overall, the feel of the event is definitely different from when it was 200-some people jammed into a youth hostel in Berlin, but similar to the Bratislava years (I never got to the Polish instances).

New server, new #introduction

Former academic in #languages & #linguistics, now in #healthcare #education & #scicomm. I publish #research every so often, I'm a #polyglot, and I'm a fledgling #gamedev with a penchant for narratives and visual shenanigans.

I live with my superb Spanish husband in an old mining town in South-West UK. Hella relaxing; hella gay.

Expect a healthy mix of sincerity and shitposting!

Let's try this #introduction thing here.

👋​ Hi, I am rokku, a 39+ old human in the #autistic and #adhd spectrum. As a person I behave as a #INTJ or #5w6. I don't use a #gender for me but I know there are a lot of them #agender #nonbinary. If you are talking to me, I prefer you not using pronouns but my name. If you want to use pronouns then use xe/xem/xyr.

I am #sysadmin for life and #polyglot #developer for 20+ years. I love #selfhosting things. I work in the #hosting business. I was formerly #selfemployed and plan to do so again.

I do #debian servers and #arch for my workstation. All other distros are bad, especially #ubuntu (yes i know its from debian but with ugly things in it)

My beloved languages are #perl, #raku and #nim. But I do much more of them like #cpp, #java, #python, #rust and what not. I like compiled languages which give you the ability to shoot you in the foot, because this is the way we learn things.

I like #old #school things, how we did it in the past. I did not stay behind, but new things must proof themself.

For me #respect needs to be earned and is not given for free. I am only interested in people that esteem me and so do I.

My #vocation is #IT and all the stuff around it.

I'm a former member of the pirate party germany (#Piratenpartei Deutschland). I was member of the Landesverband Bayern as a General Secretary and Treasurer. I am founder of the #Bezirksverband #Mittelfranken and also member of the board as a General Secretary.

Not enough, I am a #metroidvana, #megaman, #dragonball #nerd and #gamer starting with an Super NES console long time ago. I prefer the #xbox over the #playstation. I prefer games like #blasphemous, #warframe, #newworld, #doom and much more as I even could write here.

In my spare time I like to do things with #3D #printing

How many people post and interact with Social Media/Networks regularly in multiple languages? I understand this post is in English and so assumes some basic interaction levels in English, but this is more about on a day-to-day basis. What language(s) do you usually use to interact? #fediverse #languages #polyglot #multilingual #international #japanese #english #SocialMedia #日本語

Hello everyone, this is my #introduction

My name is Adalwin, I am from Germany, and I am a voracious #polyglot and I love linguistics, I speak about 10+ languages but I am also an information systems major. My main interest in that lie on #software engineering and general systems theory.

I am a hermit, but I also love all things #computer, I learned how to build an 8-bit computer in 3 days and I am always out to learn more things. My guilty pleasure are furry visual novels, I am an active member of that community and patron many such projects. I also love math and help some people with their university math homework, since I tutored Linear Algebra myself for one semester once.

I am a #furry and my #fursona is a tanuki, usually with an ankh necklace, and my pronouns are they/them. I am left-leaning myself as well.
