Before adding me, you should know: that i am open to making friends with people who are very different from me! i think it's wonderful and healthy to be friends with people who have a different worldview from me, and i always try to be nice and respectful, even when i don't agree with someone.

basic info:
tombstuck, mid 20s, missouri usa
 
gender and sexuality: bisexual, poly (not currently open to new partners), trans, enby, femboy, they/them
 
other identifiers: alterhuman, gnome/elf otherhearted
 
my vibes: silly, horny, friendly, excitable, odd and unusual

I mostly post about: daily life, my current exciting interests, music, and fandom
 
My fandoms are: I read widely in any fandom if the summary and tags catch my eye, and if the author is a friend! my fandoms in particular are supernatural, homestuck, and marvel stuff (specifically spider-man right now). But I have a lot of other fandoms I'm less active in too.
 
I'm looking to meet people who: are interested in my writing and will listen to me yapping about it (i will do the same for others!), people who will interact with my journal entries... um, not a dealbreaker by any means but it would be nice to know some other alterhumans, therians, otherkin and things like that, because my brother is a therian, i'm otherhearted, and i don't know any other alterhumans at all.
 
My posting schedule tends to be: very sporadic! i just created my account recently so it's up in the air, but i plan on being here every day for the foreseeable future.
 
When I add people, my dealbreakers are: i'll add anyone who adds me, but i will probably remove them if i have personal issues with them after that.

i hope to hear from some of you soon!~

Name: Agnes

 

Age: mid 20s

I mostly post about: personal stuff and fandom equally, also my creative projects (I'm a huge writer and artist!) I also talk about my tech projects and such. Health struggles & disability/mental health activism and destigmatization. Cooking. Life goings-on. My OCs. I'm trying to get back into using dreamwidth more, so I'd love to make some new friends!

My hobbies are: writing, digital art, watching tv, making video games, playing video games, crafting, thrifting, technology (mostly self-hosting and personal websites right now), cooking...

My fandoms are: I'm a huge science fiction fan, so right now it's Babylon 5, The Orville, Star Trek (mostly lower decks and star trek online), etc. Also super into Yellowjackets and Psych at the moment.

I'm looking to meet people who: don't mind my journal being a little all over the place, are kind and accepting, love science fiction, art, writing, tech, or making OCs, or creativity in general. People who are spiritual but queer-affirming, pro-choice and open-minded. People who like to talk and don't mind if I'm awkward. People who share my fandoms, especially my special interest which is currently The Orville. Other neurodiverse folks. Or anyone who is cool with the things I mention here!

My posting schedule tends to be: sporadic

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, fatphobia. Please don't be a bigot. Also, I don't wish to add anyone who identifies as an "anti" or believes certain types of fiction should inherently be censored, and will unadd for this kind of behavior. 

Before adding me, you should know:  I have autism and dissociative identity disorder. These things make it a little hard for me to communicate, but I promise I always mean well. I also have memory issues.

If you're on Bluesky or have friends who are, you may have heard about the CEO of Bluesky being wildly unprofessional considering who she is and what she represents. Very strange behavior! However, ATProto, the protocol Bluesky is built on, is really cool. Jay (the aforementioned CEO) does a terrible job explaining it because her gameplan here is clearly to get other people to do the explaining for her or whatever, but that may go horribly if the people who need the explanations leave the main app before they can see them. Well, worry not! Because I'll explain it! Badly! Because I'm not good at this kind of thing either!

A protocol is a thingy that a site can have so it can talk to other sites that have the same thingy ^_^ The thingy being the protocol. They use the same protocol. Yea. ActivityPub is another protocol, the one Mastodon and Akkoma and Misskey and Peertube and Pixelfed and Wordpress (with plugins) use. These get collectively known as the Fediverse. Maybe you've heard of it. If you make an account on one of these, you have access to content on all of them*. Depending on where you're starting and going, you can generally transfer your follows/followers and sometimes even your posts when you decide to change your homebase. The Fediverse is decentralized -- if one site goes, the others will still be up (and if your instance, or the site you made your account on, warns that it'll be closing soon, you have time to transfer to somewhere else), and it's not that hard to make your own federated social network too.

*Your server admin can block certain accounts and whole instances from interacting with their own. This is usually for Nazi or CSAM reasons, but sometimes it's for very, very petty reasons. Good luck navigating that!

But there's a new kid on the block... They call it AT Protocol, and sites/apps that use it are part of the ATmosphere. When you switch accounts in the ATmosphere, you retain all your followers, follows, posts, and all other data that's attached to your account. However, since the data is very public, they have trouble implementing things like private accounts/posts, which are things Fedi apps have had for a while now. Bluesky was basically meant to be a proof-of-product type deal, and clearly everyone who works on it resents the audience it attracted and wants it to die/become a barren husk of center-right commentary. But it's okay! You don't have to use Bluesky, or just Bluesky! You can use other apps in the ATmosphere, and you'll still be able to talk to people who remain there. Here's a bunch of links to cool things people are doing with ATproto to prove you can use it while avoiding the big website, and other helpful or interesting things:


  • First things first, here's how to leave Bluesky without leaving ATproto. See, if you leave Bluesky you can still see posts from Bluesky, but you won't be subject to their moderation nor will they be able to punish you. Bluesky might hide your post from their website if it breaks their rules, but it may still be on other sites depending on those sites' rules. By the way, you can log into your usual account on other websites if you don't feel like changing your PDS but hate the moderation/aesthetics/whatever, but if you personally break the rules of your PDS... something bad might happen to your account, I dunno. Shrug. Unlike the Fediverse there aren't many PDSs, but hey, the ATmosphere is new. Give it time.

  • Don't wanna be [username].bsky.social or whatever? Handles Club has you covered. They have dozens of free domains you can use so that you can be [username].loves.yaoi.fyi instead :)

  • Anisota, a client that renders posts as cards that you swipe through instead of an endless vertical scroll of posts. Instead of numbers the cards have rarities that show how much attention a post has gotten, there's a stamina meter that stops you from doomscrolling, and there's even items to collect and (soon) quests to complete.

  • Make a blog, newsletter, or collaborate on writings with Leaflet! If you're like me, when you saw this you were like "why would you make a blog connected to your Bluesky account? What happens if you lose your account somehow?" but it turns out all data connected to your ATProto account is saved onto your PDS. Meaning, you can take the data from your Leaflets and put them elsewhere any time.

  • Tangled advertises itself as a platform where you can collaborate on git projects and yap. Of no use to me, but maybe someone will read this and be like "this is something I've been looking for for years...!"

  • Final words, where you can see posts that are being deleted float on like bubbles into the air. It shows every post ever, so don't be caught off-guard by shocking or offensive ones.

  • nooki is a Reddit-like that I've heard might be of questionable quality, but 1. I don't know what those pictures and words mean, and 2. at least someone actually made something new! If someone doesn't like it, they should show nooki how it's done and make a better Reddit-like, or show the creator what's wrong and how to fix it so nooki can be better.

  • There's going to be a last.fm-like called teal.fm. Pretty cool, pretty cool.

  • Another way to microblog would be using TOKIMEKI, which has many pretty themes and ways to control what and how much of it appears on your timeline. This was the way I used ATproto for a long while, but I use Anisota now.

  • But wait, there's another way to read your feed. Windows Vista fans, now's your time to shine.

  • What the hell, why not. Here's another one.

  • I use SkyFeed to create custom feeds, similar to antenna on Misskey/Sharkey if you know about that. For example, I created a feed that collects every post that mentions any series started by a certain video game studio because... I wuv them ♡

  • And here's a site that catalogues basically every PDS, regardless of whether you can actually use it or not. Lots to check out.

  • If you have an ATmosphere account but would like people on the Fediverse to be able to interact with you, or vice versa, try Bridgy Fed. It's totally opt in, so you won't see everything from everyone, only those who have their account bridged. If you're on the Fediverse your instance may have chosen not to cooperate with this for their own reasons -- consult with your admin(s) if so.

  • Or... you can make an account with Wafrn, which is a network that is both ATproto AND ActivityPub compatible! Wow! If you have an ATproto account you can transfer it to Wafrn in its entirety, but if you have an ActivityPub account you can only transfer your follows and following, not your posts or anything else.

  • You can also use Openvibe to combine your feeds on multiple sites into one and crosspost. I haven't used this, so if you do tell me how it goes.

  • Article time! This one patiently explains how the AT Protocol works for laypeople, this one explains why what Jay is doing with Bluesky is stupid and how she could improve if she cared, and here's a buuuuunch more stuff made on the protocol. (← I just found out about SkySpace from there and it's sooo cute.)


This took me an embarrassing amount of time to write and I'm not proofreading it o7 I hope this helps someone out! Sorry if some of my wording on technical matters isn't very correct or precise -- I'm a humanities major.

Reccer’s Note: I was talking to someone today about how there's not a lot of male vocaloids / vsynths being used lately and was reminded of this Gackpo song. Such a classic! It's so catchy! And I'm always a fan of stuff incorporating historical elements, even in this more aloof/silly manner!!

So I have to make another one of these posts. *lights cig*
I'm kind of late, but I've been busy. And so, so tired. Not because of depression. I just keep fucking up my sleep schedule.

Past

  • I finished Final Fantasy IV (DS) on the 9th and The Legend of Zelda on the 15th.

    • I wrote an entry about FFIV; still deciding if I should make it public because I fear it's pretty rambly and useless. I did end up liking the game though! Despite it all!

    • I started Zelda a few hours later, and beat it just under a week later. It took me that long because I was busy packing and thinking about packing though. It probably actually only took me a few hours. Thing is, I played it on Nintendo Switch Online and I rewound time after 96% of the hits I took. I wonder if this is like... moral...? In the video game world. I imagine many would say that I cheated big-time and ruined my own enjoyment, but I dunno, because I did enjoy it. And when I played the game all that time ago without cheating I didn't have so much fun. Even save state abuse didn't amuse me as much as going back in time 2 seconds every 3 seconds for those final dungeons. I guess it's just a little embarrassing to say to the public that I couldn't beat the game honestly, but it's true. Well, it's not like I've never played any other Zelda. I beat those without cheating, and that's enough.


  • On the 19th I moved to Louisiana, and that same night I went out to a daiquiri place, and then to the club, and then the next day we went to a seafood place, and then on Sunday we went to a lounge. All of those were firsts for me except the seafood place (and living in Louisiana). I kind of felt like an adult 💯

  • I didn't watch Naruto all month *dies horribly*

  • I ended up not doing Small Web September. I was actually busy for real and not just in my head for once, so I'm not mad at myself for this.



Present

  • I'm Working On Stuff but I won't say what Stuff is until I'm done with it. I don't want to accidentally give myself a dopamine hit now and then lose the desire to finish. I also don't want to disappoint anyone when I inevitably don't finish it regardless.

  • Despite everything, I still have not dropped out.

  • I'm kind of playing Suikoden, but I really shouldn't be because I'm supposed to be playing Haruka 2. Thing is when I'm at my desk I'm too busy with other stuff to play that, but when I'm in bed trying to go to sleep my 3DS is right there like oooooo you wanna play me sooooo bad. Lately I've been into Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, but I play Suikoden when I've played all the songs I want to but I'm not sleepy yet. (The 3DS can run Playstation games but not Playstation 2 games, so I cannot play Haruka 2 on it, you see.) Finishing any game would be good though. I can cross something out the queue even if I've messed up the order.



Future

  • I'll probably have a job in a few weeks. Please don't be Walmart.

  • It would be nice if I could finish even one of the 3-5 things I'm working on :) The way you meet new people online is through creation, I think, so I have to create something.

  • I will be taking a nap right after I post this! Good night!

Posting again.

Name: C.K. or Chester, if you like.

Age: 36.

I mostly post about: Linkin Park (specifically the 2000-2017 era, before the band became a cult puppet show), wrestling (classic SMW, WWF, the always sexy Jim Cornette, and my own very cursed WWE 2K25 Universe where I resurrect promotions and pair people based on vibes and trauma), Culture Club/Boy George fic, chaos, conspiracies, and timelines that make Doctor Who look basic, my OCs, who are so deeply real to me I've fought people in my head about them, Witchcraft, spirit work, folk healing, moon rituals, grief magic, retro gaming, random emotional overshares that sound like a journal entry from a possessed poet with too many piercings

My hobbies are: Writing fic that's 70% emotional breakdown, 20% worldbuilding, and 10% people getting railed in a meaningful way, hexing cults with sigils and sass, collecting music like it's my religion, drawing OCs, editing cursed screenshots and organizing old files like I'm preserving the Library of Alexandria, going to work like a normal person, coming home, and spiritually becoming a haunted glitter goblin with eyeliner and vengeance

My fandoms are: Linkin Park, wrestling (SMW, WWF, WCW -- but mainly the universes in my head), Culture Club (I write a huge fanfic AU for them), t.A.T.u., Verka Serduchka, obscure Eastern European pop acts with synths and trauma, Star Trek AOS (specifically Into Darkness)

I'm looking to meet people who: are too weird for Reddit, too raw for Instagram, and too smart for Twitter/X, overshare about their OCs like it's their religion, are into long-ass posts, rambling, and crying over character development

My posting schedule tends to be: Erratic. Sometimes I post a lot, sometimes I disappear for three weeks and come back with stuff.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Racism, ableism, transphobia, homophobia, antisemitism, or being a dick in general, "Hamasniks", Scientology apologists or people who think Mike Shinoda is evil because they saw an Instagram reel with eerie music behind it (or buy into a certain someone's heavily cherry-picked posts), anyone who says "you still like Linkin Park?" or "isn't wrestling fake?"

Before adding me, you should know: I'm trans. My pronouns are he/him and they/them. I am autistic and ADHD. I write the "controversial" fanfic trope of mpreg a lot. I am very defensive of my faves.  I am a Zionist, and hate how the term has been turned into something it's not. I am pro-AI, and use it a lot to make AI song covers. I find it fun. Also, I smoke weed, lol.

I haven't done this in a while

I'm trying to be on here more than LJ because I'm paying for a lot of userpics, so I figured I would try again.

Name: Chris

Age: old

I mostly post about:
My life and interactions.

My hobbies are: going to rock concerts, camping, kayaking, stand-up paddle-boarding, drawing badly, reading and writing fiction.

My fandoms are: I don't really know that I'm into any specific franchise enough to count other than bands. I don't watch TV or see many movies. Some peculiar nerddoms: I have long been interested in the history of passenger aviation and shipping although I do very little about it these days.

Who I want to connect with: I am curious about people's lives which are different than mine and I am glad DW gives me a chance to experience them. Thus if our interests don't seem to align don't let that be a show stopper.

When I add people, my show-stoppers are: No drumpfreich apologists. I am also not particularly interested in following "celebrity" bloggers who are only on here looking for an audience. I like for my connections on here to be a two-way street.

Before adding me, you should know:
  1. Currently I have two things consuming a lot of my non-work time, which has meant less time to read and write. I'm doing my best to keep up and do not want to fall out of the habit. Accordingly...
  2. When I am pressed for time, I may make more of an effort to read/comment the people who also more frequently engage with my posts. This doesn't mean we shouldn't be connected if you can't be constantly be lavishing me with attention.
  3. One of the two distractions mentioned above is I am currently in a leadership position in my small, progressive/inclusive mainline protestant church. Although i do post about it, it's more in the vein that people post about their work life. I do not use my blog to proselytize. Also, I am not in the least bit uptight or prudish, or here to judge your life choices, and--as you would learn--I would be on thin ice if I did. It's just another thing that i do. 
My posting schedule tends to be: I was doing a post for every day, sometimes a few days behind, until the aforementioned plus being forced to commute 5x a week again changed things a bit. Right now I am trying to keep up with weekly.

Oi, the lot of ya

gs_silva: My character cheerfully saying hi (Default)
[personal profile] gs_silva posting in [community profile] addme
Name: GS

Age: old

I mostly post about: Comic book creation, art and writing in general, character development and musings, my personal experiences, my cat, exploring and subverting tropes, maybe politics idk, random shower thoughts

My hobbies are: household management, gardening, native ecology, world travel, language learning

My fandoms are: Whatever you're writing! If you show an interest in my WIP, I'll show an interest in yours. There are a very few genres and themes that I find impossible to engage in. Unfortunately, they tend to be very common: super awesome superlative hero good-and-evil stuff, or gritty dark stuff where everybody's horrible.

But I believe very strongly in reciprocity, and if those themes are your passion, you won't like my book much either. So if you create something that's light and humorous, or raw and honest, or speculative and political, I'll be there for you if you'll be here for me!

But I also enjoy reading and meeting people who aren't into any of that and who just want to be DW friends.

I've lived in Saigon and Shanghai and been to Cambodia and Philippines, and now I'm in the US and not terribly happy about it, so I'd enjoy meeting people with connections to those places. Or Lyon, France! Part of my book takes place in Lyon.


When I add people, my dealbreakers are: Oh, I don't know. Really toxic anger and hateful opinions, I guess. Usually if someone irks me, I'll disappear quietly.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a naturally chaotic person. I know most of the unspoken rules of society but I don't always care. I've had the usual amount of life traumas but I don't often talk about them. My profile pic is my male MC, Maurice. I'll probably talk about him a lot. I'm not a quiet creator. A lot of what I write is Maurice this, Maurice that, Cathy this. I call my characters by name because I want people to remember them.
