Hello I am Matt, I joined mastodon a few times and recently lost my account on librem.one due to some technical issues and a misunderstanding. Anyway here I am starting over again, I had considered running my own instance but #qoto seemed to hold similar values so here I am.
I love the outdoors and computing. Philisophically I think personal #freedom is the ultimate persuit of expression and hapiness, while engaging with other free individuals we create a understanding society. The only way to have a #free and respectful #society is to respect others freedoms.
This love of freedom like #freespeech is also important in computing. #freesoftware should be a bigger topic in the mainstream, even if someone is not technically compotent, it should be easy to understand that the blueprints to the software that run our dams, electrical, city halls, science, communication etc, etc.. is very important.
My hope is to share various passions of mine here on qoto and find new friends in the fediverse. Eventually see all the people I love on fediverse. This is more ethical platform for social connectedness and more natural like the p2p nature of in person communicatrion.
Here are a list of some of my interests in hash tags:

I'll attempt to repost this and add tags as time goes on.

Yes freedom of speech should be defined clearly.
A great example is if a person comes up behind you points something in your back stating he has a gun and he wants all your money.
Even if you resist, get away with no theft or violence.. that kind of speech is a type of violence.
our supreme laws should be clear.
Directly threatening unquestionable violence, theft or anything that we all clearly identify as crime. however threatening a person with a trial resulting in death penalty or hoping they die in a fire should not be a crime IMO.
