Always fighting for a better world

..but on Mastodon, it seems like I found a place, where people fight back, share important news and tips, connect to build a better world and help each other to do the same! That's not necessarily what I came for, but why I will stay. Thanks for reading, and feel free to reach out to me, whenever you feel like it! :)

Not even a month ago, I made my first Mastodon account, and realized very quickly: I absolutely love it! The idea of a decentralized social media platform, the mascot, the people I discovered and most importantly the together and the feeling of exploring a great community of humans! Everyone is so nice, so considerate, so caring of each other and the world. It really is kind of a boost of hope in these rather dark political times, where the whole world seems to move to the far right..
A few years ago I started my privacy journey - and learned a lot!
I enjoy and appreciate good software/hardware and I think, that there are a lot of awesome people and projects, that help the world build a privacy oriented, productive, safe and fun online world. Yes, I'm talking to you @Mastodon, @fedora, @nitrokey, @signalapp, @Em0nM4stodon, @GrapheneOS, @torvalds, @techlore, @protonprivacy, @organicmaps, @librewolf, @mullvadnet, @privacyguides, @torproject, @privacytests & so many more! <3

I'm typically not the kind of person who buys merch, but since my Mastodon experience is such a great one (and the merch is really cute), I decided to support it and buy a plushtodon and a mug.
I also had the thought, that this is the perfect way to introduce myself to the Mastodon communities, so here we go:

Well, hi! My name is.. not public for now, because I'm a very privacy conscious person, especially when it comes to the vast space, that is the internet - so just call me 'Chestnut'. ^^

This is my first test for "quiet public" posts.
