- 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.
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, and I "follow" you back, I don't actually follow you and receive your posts. Unless you've got something to say that's interesting to me within the scope of this channel, or I know you from OpenSim, I'll most likely deny you the permission to send me your posts. I only "follow" you back because Hubzilla requires me to do that to allow you to follow me. But I do let you send me your comments and direct messages. If you boost a lot of uninteresting stuff, I'll block you boosts.
My "birthday" isn't my actual birthday but my rezday. My first avatar has been around since that day.
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.

- Gefällt:
- In OpenSim:
- OpenSim's own creativity and its products.
- Always being able to dress for the occasion. I do need more than "one shirt, one pair of jeans, one pair of shoes".
- Individual avatars that you can recognise even without a name tag above their heads even when they change clothes.
- Well-made and thoroughly tested sims.
- Believable, interactive sims that you can really immerse yourself into.
In the Fediverse:- Hubzilla's wealth of features.
- How advanced (streams) is.
- Nomadic identity.
- Gefällt nicht:
- In OpenSim:
- General hate against legal content, just because it doesn't always look as good as stolen premium luxury payware from Second Life.
- Being given unsolicited stolen content.
- People assuming that the reason why I'm using a legal mesh body made in and for OpenSim is either because I haven't found the copybotted "good stuff" yet, or because I'm too dumb to use it.
- Grid wars. And feuds between users that escalate into grid wars. Typical for the German OpenSim scene.
- How OpenSimWorld lacks rules, and how its existing rules are practically never enforced.
- Sims that absolutely require teleporting to move around.
- Event sims that force you to land directly next to the dancefloor. I want to be able walk or use a scripted vehicle instead, thank you very much.
- Sims that clearly look like their builders have entirely built them while flying up high in the air and never set a foot on their own sims (unuseable paths, phantom bridges, objects hovering above the ground etc.).
- Sims that clearly look like their builders have never seen their own sims at any other setting than Midday (stuff glowing in the dark that really shouldn't, no light sources whatsoever etc.).
- The assumption that the Adult rating means "G-rated, but no child avatars allowed" in OpenSim now.
In the Fediverse:- Mastodon-normativity and Mastodon-centricity. That's the notion that Mastodon is the standard and default in the Fediverse, and everything is built around Mastodon.
- People who want to protect Mastodon against the rest of the Fediverse.
- People who want to force Mastodon's entire culture upon the rest of the Fediverse, including Mastodon's limitation that have become part of its culture. This means people who want to ban me from using core features of Hubzilla just because Mastodon doesn't have them.
