@liaizon yes, but I met them before mastodon existed.

Floppy πŸ’Ύ

@liaizon Possible follow-up poll: "Would you like to?" :3

Nelson Chu Pavlosky

@liaizon Do you mean someone I met on the fediverse? Or anyone I know who happens to be on the fediverse?

wakest ⁂

@skyfaller I meant, met for the first time thru the fediverse and then proceeded to meet up in meatspace

@liaizon I've met people who I migrated here with from twitter, but never people I met first on fedi I think πŸ€”

mouse reeve

@liaizon yeah, all people I originally met via twitter (although early on after some weird experiences I made a rule to only meet friends of friends via twitter)

wow I havent tried a poll in a long time, damn people are fast at filling out polls!

I have lost count btw

I guess in relation to things like #fedicamp my poll choices dont make sense, cause we all met thru the fediverse but many were not already following each other

@liaizon In any case, I think it would be useful, constructive to have a physical meeting between those on the Fediverso (Mastodon alone or not, I don't know). To look each other in the face and be able to talk with more freedom and confidence can be something very interesting if we want to go beyond the posts and comments we make on the net

@senzanome yes I agree. meeting someone in person is a very different thing entirely then meeting online

senzanome

@liaizon
So... Where can we meet? πŸ˜‹πŸ˜Ž

@liaizon I think three in total. First was @Cheatha who gave away anti nazi stickers at CCC 2018 which was pretty cool. The other two are locals and we realized we've been to the same event.
No "appointments" yet.

@liaizon the chaos.social meetup at CCC was when I lost count. :fairydust:

122 responses in 30 minutes! Thats impressive

Dentaku (Thomas Renger)

@liaizon I brought people to the fediverse that I had met in person before. Does that count?

@liaizon I saw @powderpaint at Trans pride a few years ago and went and said hi, so 2 people I guess πŸ˜…

@liaizon

(Excluding people I knew IRL beforehand, of course.)

@liaizon How come "not that I remember" isnt an option? I've been guilty of public intoxication a lot over the years.

hazelnot :yell:

@liaizon Does it count as "met them in person" if I met them in person first and then we both made fedi accounts πŸ€”

vor

@liaizon

Technically 2. one is my brother, the second is a friend that I know prior the fediverse.

Else, zero.

Daniel Bohrer

@liaizon πŸ‘† there is one aspect missing in this poll:

Have you met anyone you know in person on the #fediverse?

Irina

@liaizon I had met them in person before they and I joined the fediverse, does that count?

Ruben

@liaizon Nope! And not planning on it either.

gotofritz

@liaizon I have hardly _spoken_ to anyone on the #fediverse, never mind meeting them πŸ˜†

Hella

@liaizon
Most of the persons from the fediverse I've met, I've met before me being in the fediverse ... so this doesn't count fully.

Der BrΓΌsseler πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

@liaizon @chpietsch before or after we all joined the #fediverse? I have been to #rp22, #DiWoKiel22 and #bcki22 this year. That's the type of place/event where you will meet at least one ore more people from the #fedivers.

@liaizon
I met 4 or 5 at HOPE. I also know there are a couple of fedi lurkers in my region as well, but we never seem to meet.

Frank πŸ›©οΈπŸͺ‚β›΅πŸ›΅πŸŽΏπŸ”­

@liaizon 😩 Unfortunately it is unclear to me (and others?) if I should include people I already knew for a long time and met a long time ago and who also happen to be on the fediverse just now. Or if your question was going for new people that I first encountered on the fediverse.

wakest ⁂

@frank I meant met first on fedi. Must be regional differences in english cause I dont think my sentence is unclear in this way but many people did.
