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'. ^^

'Mastodon stuffed toy (mini)' in orange, 'Mastodon Pumpkin Spice Elephant Mug', Mastodon sticker with QR-code and '#plushtodon sign' on brown table.

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, @fedoraFedora Project, @nitrokey, @signalappSignal, @Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified:, @GrapheneOS, @torvaldsLinus Torvalds, @techlore, @protonprivacyProton, @organicmaps, @librewolf, @mullvadnetMullvad VPN, @privacyguides, @torprojectThe Tor Project, @privacytestsPrivacyTests.org & so many more! <3
