#introduction #india I'm a computer programmer, community organiser and digital rights activist based in Bangalore, India.

Growing up as a lonely, bullied kid in the 90s, I found solace in books, computers, and later, the online world. In my quest to find belonging, never quite fulfilled, I've been involved with various communities over the year. A biography in toots:

@Gargron more power to decentralized platforms on the Internet. More power to users.

My experience on #mastodon so far

- I used to be twitter addicted but now I am opening mastodon first
- moderators are really really helpful & committed to safe environment
- @Gargron has impressed us with swift addition to rules about casteism which is India’s Racism
- Dalits, Minorities & Women face such hateful replies on twitter but here it is truly a safe space
- nice to read so much good content without toxicity
- the small handle big handle thing is over

I absolutely love it 😍

I had used twitter for trend/news updates. Never felt the need to tweet. Now, being on Mastodon makes me wanna toot

#introduction #India

The reason unconscientious celebs ( including star journos etc.) and influencers are not ready to give up their twitter accounts despite the obvious toxicity on that site is that they won't be adorned with the special blue tick. Those who have migrated are the ones who truly believe in equality. #india

👻 👽 I request everyone to abstain from linking back to the #birdsite. It totally destroys the whole point of migration.

#fediverse #india

For the #India new mastodon users specially, will you be interested in a weekly #digitalsecurity office hour where I will be taking questions about security and #privacy here and answer / demo over both video + on toots? Please boost for more reach

Hey, does anyone know any free and user-friendly podcast hosting sites?

My piece in latest Frontline on why this year's Nobel Prize in Economics, by celeberating RCTs as a silver bullet against poverty, is likely to do more harm than good for the poor

@pavi I've really gotten into webfeeds once I've implemented autodiscovery in my browser.

@pavi I still prefer subscribing to #rss feeds than shitty medium subscriptions!

I'm queer woman doing research on stress, stigma, and health in the queer community. I process stuff about bodies, shame, and mental health through art (same handle on instagram 👀).

Opinions aplenty about queerness, gender, politics, mental health, body positivity/liberation/acceptance -- often listen more than I speak

Anonish account (for now). Hi.
