Following some great advice given here: my bio in hashtags. Hope it’ll help connect with the right crowds!

@freemo thank you! It’s great here, feels like vintage Internet before people started screaming at each other 😍
@lakoma That is very intentional. I started this instance to create a place where people could talk about hard controversial subjects and still be respectful... during the early days it was hard to curate especially given our tenndency to want to talk things out rather than relying on bans for bad actors (though we do have our limits)... now that we have a large established community and that energy is deeply rooted in the community it seems new users appreciate it and carry it on. So in the end, in my bias opinion, we really do have one of the most drama free open, and relaxing communities on the fediverse.
@lakoma Oh, I didn't realise that was a thing. I'll need to do that too...it feels like some sort of self-help task (or something I'd use in my workshops, "describe yourself In #).
@alicjapawluczuk yup, it took me longer than I thought and I’m sure I missed something. I’d like to think I’m more than a few hashtags 😉
@lakoma works for me!
@lakoma Great to have you here. Hit me up any time if you feel like chatting.
