MastoDon Juan/Juanita<p>Hi, I'm [redacted], and I decided to join kolektiva dot social when my previous instance admin went on a rant about "outrage culture," said he didn't care, then played the victim when people rightfully called him out on it. As the famous quote goes, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." I prefer to keep most of my personal details private, but here are the things about me I choose to reveal for my <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a>:<br>- I am <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/queer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>queer</span></a> in many senses of the word. <br>- In my free time I enjoy playing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VideoGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VideoGames</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>travel</span></a> (and learning new <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>languages</span></a>). I also like to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/camp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>camp</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hike</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/backpack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>backpack</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReadBooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReadBooks</span></a>. I'm also a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> worker but I vacillate between loving/hating that. 😅<br>- I believe organizations and societies function best when there are guiding principles but no rigid structure; I believe in a non-religious <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/God" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>God</span></a> (of course others are entitled to their own beliefs) and believe people are generally born "good" but also recognize that humans have created hell on earth vis a vis various methods of economics/government. Thus far in history, methods of social control only end up serving the ruling class and oppressing minorities.<br>- I only have a few close friends and people generally disappoint me. Prove me wrong! 😉</p>
