#introductions my old one was stale and needed an update.

i am Erin.
i am a woman, who loves women. i am trans. i am white. i am young, and a student. i have severe OCD, anxiety, and depression, and a shitton of self-worth issues. i am usually anxious.

i use the surname Moon online. i program software, do maths, and design electrical systems. i am the head of the Rustodon project (https://github.com/rustodon/rustodon). i do ML research for $dayjob.

i listen to and play music. i am trained in piano, but love synths. jazz and funk are my shit, as well as an embarrassing amount of shitty EDM.

i do not generally play video games. when i do, it's usually a lot like work. for relaxation, i read: fiction, comics, nonfiction.

i am strongly left-leaning to the point of anarchism/anarchocommunism. i try to only build systems that do not harm other humans, now or reasonably in potentia.

A tall, slight girl with long, messy purple hair.
She wears a pair of thick, green cut-epoxy glasses; the lenses flicker with glowing symbols.
She has a shaved patch on the left side of her head, with a protruding twist-lock electrical connector.

woof

i might just commit to the glitch bit

i want to retheme parts of my instance (purple bc im a fucking fag) and change fonts without doing browserside stylesheets so i can pretend its 2016 again

how do people maintain patchsets (themes, etc) on top of masto nowadays?

huh masto really hasn't gotten any major updates since last year in a sense, interesting

still curious if the slice of english-speaking masto and its periodic normal ones that i see are actually the entirety of english-speaking masto or if there are entire other clusters of users that i haven't ever seen nor interacted with. entire communities on here

like... how large even is fedi now? i used to have a mental model but that was 3 years ago when the software and people were vastly different

i hate this website so god damn much :3
