Über: An avatar roaming the decentralised and federated 3-D virtual worlds based on OpenSimulator, a free and open-source server-side re-implementation of Second Life. Mostly talking about OpenSim, sometimes about other virtual worlds, occasionally about the Fediverse beyond Mastodon. No, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon.

If you're looking for real-life people posting about real-life topics, go look somewhere else. This channel is never about real life.

Even if you see me on Mastodon, I'm not on Mastodon myself. I'm on Hubzilla which is neither a Mastodon instance nor a Mastodon fork. In fact, it's older and much more powerful than Mastodon. And it has always been connected to Mastodon for as long as Mastodon has existed.

I regularly write posts with way more than 500 characters. If that disturbs you, block me now, but don't complain. I'm not on Mastodon, I don't have a character limit here.

I rather give too many content warnings than too few. But I have absolutely no means of blanking out pictures for Mastodon users.

I always describe my images, no matter how long it takes. My posts with image descriptions tend to be my longest. Don't go looking for my image descriptions in the alt-text; they're always in the post text which is always hidden behind a content warning due to being over 500 characters long.

If you follow me, you may notice that I'll follow you back, and then I'll unfollow you again. That's because we don't have unidirectional "following" here on Hubzilla, only bidirectional "contacts". I can't just allow you to follow me. I have to approve a full bidirectional connection. But if you don't post anything interesting, and I don't know you from OpenSim, and you're on something that has unidirectional "following", I'll delete you from my contact list again. If you may post something interesting occasionally, I may keep the connection, but I'll probably filter it heavily. Yes, I can filter individual contacts here on Hubzilla.

If you're on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) or Forte, all of which have bidirectional "contacts", I have to keep the connection. But I'll either not grant you permission to send me your posts (I can do that, yes), or I'll filter you.

My "birthday" isn't my actual birthday but my rezday, the day that my first avatar appeared in-world for the first time.

If you happen to know German, maybe my "homepage" is something for you, a blog which, much like this channel, is about OpenSim and generally virtual worlds.
