Hi!
I’m jdm2. I’ve been around for a while. Recently created the boriken.social Mastodon instance to facilitate the migration to the fediverse of the Puerto Rican online community.
I’m a software developer by trade, I collect books, listen to a bunch of music, love basketball and I’m very vocal about local and international politics.
And I’m covid conscious!
Si eres puertorriqueño y quieres unirte a una comuninad de Puerto Rico en Mastodon/el Fediverso, ya puedes! Únete a Borikén Social! 
If you are Puerto Rican and want to join a Puerto Rican community in Mastodon/the Fediverse, you can now! Join Borikén Social!
Hola!
Soy jdm2. Llevo tiempo en otras instancias pero acabo de crear boriken.social para propósitos de seguir trayendo más usuarios hispanoparlantes al fediverso desde el rinconsito de Puerto Rico.
Programo de día, colecciono libros de noche, no me gustan las aceitunas en los pasteles y le digo enpanadillas a los pastelillos involuntariamente.

Phrases that I’ve had to remember to stop and rephrase ever since most Spanish speakers around me ended up being Central American:
“Yo wa’ cogel la wawa”
youtube.com- YouTubeEnjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.
Lmao Puerto Ricans would like to have a word. Really we just wanna talk. We have questions. #PuertoRico #MastodonPR
Y en otro episodio de #LaColoniaEsUnChiste:
“El 12 de febrero, se estará realizando una vista pública sobre la Resolución de la Cámara 85 la cual busca evaluar medidas disuasivas para erradicar la peligrosa práctica de maniobras tipo “wheelie” realizadas por motociclistas en las carreteras de la Isla”
Metro Puerto Rico · Cámara de Representante celebrará vista pública para detener los “wheelies” en las carreteras
Hombre. Sorpresa hubiera sido que #Dominicana no ganara la #SeriedelCaribe
Ahí Mayagüez llegó tercero a duras penas. Que se le va a hacer. #PuertoRico #MastodonPR
The American tourist who burned down several businesses in Puerto Rico is facing up to 20 years in prison.
Ah sí, los partidos puertorriqueños: los pepes, los penes, los pipis, los pedos, y los meaos
My kid thinks that all frogs are called "coquí" because we have so many books that feature them. She'll just immediately point to a frog and start imitating the coquí. #MastodonPR #PuertoRico
En casa hicimos coquito de café. Divino.
I think I might finally be getting into this #VTuber trend because my wife has started sending me videos by #Ironmouse, who's apparently one of the most popular VTubers in the world... and she's Puerto Rican and disabled to the point of being home/bed bound. And I'm just so happy for her career?
Like, yeah, it sucks that she struggles with her health stuff, but in a world that really hates disabled people and wants to hide them and let them die, seeing someone find something like this for themselves and be HUGELY successful is so nice.
Also I'm a sucker for a good boricua success story. #MastodonPR, #PuertoRico #Disability
I’m just gonna bump this thread, for folks who want to learn more about the complexities of the politics around PR’s status question and why calling us gringos might (and should) earn you a sucker punch. There seems to be a lot of assumptions about what PRs “actually want” and whether the latest—or any—referendum represents our actual wishes
Toot.CatKat Marchán 🐈 (@zkat@toot.cat)@neoteotihuacan@mastodon.nz @blogdiva@mastodon.social not rigged in the sense of faking votes (although there really has been a thing where a bunch of literal dead people were found in the active voter rolls), I'm telling you that there's subtleties to the _way the referendum is defined_ (which is usually determined by the in-power party, the statehood party), which is designed to inflate the numbers to make support for statehood bigger than it actually is. That, combined with the number of people who vote for statehood out of fear of repercussions that are not necessarily going to happen.
For example, there's been referendums in the past where there were two separate commonwealth choices, intended to split the vote. Again, a referendum put out by the PNP, and which the PPD boycotted, effectively making the results look like statehood won (again), without representing the votes of the people who abstained from voting just on this issue, in protest (which was a LOT of people, just like in this case)

FWIW: the #MastodonPR hashtag is not for Public Relations but for Puerto Rico
