Hello everybody!

I guess it is time for an #introductions

I am June, from Vancouver, Canada. My gender is 422. 🤷‍♀️

Gosh, I'm supposed to describe who I am and my life? No idea where to start.
I am an extrovert, survivor, and kind of 3 cats in a trench coat, pretty sure one of them is a racoon in disguise.

For what I do: I develop my own video games (Unreal), make art in various mediums (traditional, digital, photography, 3D, interactive,...) and DJ for my friends. I love hikes, road-trips, raves, novelty and being like, super weird. I also freedive a lot and read mental health scholarly articles for fun.

I do not especially identify as transgender, but gender transition is what I am engaged in.

I am part of a polyamory / relationship anarchist family with my partner, where I am helping raise a lovely (and quite hilarious) child.

I am currently in collaboration to attempt at creating a prosocial co-op studio with a friend, hoping to bring mental health-focused cosy games on the market. Because, you know, late-stage economic and environment collapses are kind of turning everybody a bit mad.

I am a big proponent of finding joy, grace, support and hope when facing struggle. One faces pain easier when equipped with joy, and one accesses joy easier when facing pain.

As diagnosed AuDHD +& in resolution stage, I write about philosophy, social justice, transformation, decolonization and mental health. I also do pro-bono trauma coaching and crisis support for gender and neurodiverse communities and consulting services for therapists looking to better support clients on the neurodiverse & dissociative spectrums. (I would argue that going into the mental health field after 15 years in games is kind of the pipeline 😅 ).

Regarding who I am? If you're a bit into tarot, I'll say that I could identify as the explosive mix of The Fool, The Magician & The Empress. Something like that: I enjoy traveling between worlds and seeking natural truth.

Nice to meet y'all!

👋 Hi everyone, we’re CCC, a worker-led global network fighting to improve the working conditions in the fashion industry.

We heard that you’re also not fond of billionaires over here. We spend a lot of time targeting the wealthy fashion CEOs profiting from worker exploitation.

Case in point: the Zara founder enjoying his $300 million super yacht while thousands of workers making Zara’s clothes face blanket charges for protesting poverty wages in Bangladesh.

@joec try to use hashtags like #newhere .
Don’t worry much about connecting to others. There is no algorithm here, so you need to find your bubble yourself.
Good to have you here!

@joec You will see posts from those other instances, your instance is connected with. And yes, you can move from one instance to the other as you like. Try to follow some interesting hashtags and you will find new persons and interesting topics from a lot of other instances. (Hey world, he is #newhere #neuhier).

Welcome to some new people who I saw joining Pixelfed lately!
@aramba@pixelfed.de [pixelfed.de] @COCOBERGHOLM@pixelfed.social [pixelfed.de] @SdK@pixelfed.de [pixelfed.de] @Spurloser@pixelfed.social [pixelfed.de] @moki-mioke@pixelfed.social [pixelfed.de]

I want to share some impressions about this platform:

Thanks for joining Pixelfed! The grip that IG has on the art scene seems to be very strong, so thanks for promoting the alternative. For self-promo and big network effects, Bluesky is considered the lesser evil by many in the cultural sector and academia, so I could imagine many art people ending up there once IG becomes too dirty. The other current alternative is maybe the Flashes app for Bluesky (in the news as an instagram alternative). But since Bluesky is very centralized by design (with the central relay) I would not promote it as an ethical alternative for now.

If you want to reach from the Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.) to Bluesky there are bridge services you can use to have your posts show up there. One nice thing about Bluesky is, it is far easier to cross-post between the Fediverse and Bluesky, Bluesky is not a complete silo like IG or Twitter/X.

My personal experience of some years on Mastodon is, it is a very different scene on the alternative social media, with a completely different feed culture, and more connected to community spaces, activism etc. While I experience Bluesky to be very similiar to X now, echo chambers, doom, etc., just mostly without the open right wing extremists, as they stayed on X. I am writing this to encourage others to join the Fediverse (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc.), and not expect the same as IG or X, but to enjoy the difference.

But also something practical on this, Mastodon is far more extablished, Pixelfed is pretty new. So Pixelfed right now might not feel like it, like full of alternative and activist content, but the local feeds being full of more conventional photography of nature and sightseeing, which for me was initially off-putting, as I found it very kitschy. Therefore I'd encourage everyone to follow hashtags, and also Mastodon accounts from Pixelfed (of which you only get the image posts then, which is also a nice experience), in order to get a feel for the communication and content there.

Oh and one last thing, previews not generating immediately happens from time to time, I expect they will fix that soon.
