Ok, I... have to say this again, because the last post with this information is buried deep in the archives... but:
Hi! Welcome to the Fediverse (or, welcome to finding my part of it.)
Do we know each other? Say hi. I LIKELY recognize you, and then it's "oh hey" and then mutual follows.
So, if we HAVEN'T met:
Hi! I'm Truck. I like people. However, I have limits on how many people I can actually talk to, and I passed that limit about ... 30 years ago, and I keep making new friends. So. If you wanna talk, cool... just... tell me who you ARE first, so I can say "oh! hey! it's that guy."
So: Ask when you wanna follow, ok? And tell me what interests you, and why you wanna chat.
However: Fascists can FUCK RIGHT THE HELL OFF.
Also, if you don't like "black" folks, and think "indians should go back to India" or "why the fuck should I care if the US is dumping gasoline in the Hawaiian water supply, I'm not in Hawaii" - you best just not get me (and _us_) fucking started.
