Hello! I am a new Mastodon user. I'm currently trying to break free from corporate social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm concerned about algorithmic manipulation, censorship, and online privacy issues. Politically, I'm a citizen of the United States, an Independent with Centrist views, and am concerned about how ideologically divided my country is. I am interested in learning and teaching how to avoid disinformation and media bias. I have an interest in Linux / Open Source Software
