I'm brand new here, so an #introduction is a good idea:
I'm a freelance tech writer / software developer / KM project manager based in Europe. Digitally, I was born in the 90s. So I grew up eating cyberpunk books, BBSs, home computers, hacking, then the first doses of Internet and the Web.
In the 90s and the first 00s I developed my (ahem) "philosophy": digital spaces are (can be, should be) autonomous zones where different cultures, and sub/counter-cultures, can thrive.
These are the years of the enshittification of Internet, but it can't rain forever (cit.) and I see the Fediverse as a new opportunity for some of us to recreate better and safer digital spaces.
That's the "vision". Than there's the daily life: I write code (awful, mostly), help companies in managing their knowledge bases, write technical documentation, sometimes write tech articles for (mostly unknown) business tech manazines.
In the spare time, I tinker with Linux, Risc-V boards and "old" languages like Forth, Assembly and C (but I'm a fan of Haskell too). I'm convinced that permacomputing and, maybe, collapse computing are our digital future. So, "back to basics" seems a good idea.
That's all, I guess. Nice to meet ya.

@bitzero we have similar experiences; born in 79, survived the 80s, and watched the early internet blossom in the 90s.
It was a wonderful golden age.
In a lot of ways the fediverse is a strange recreation of that.. in feeling anyway.
