  8<!-- **Warning:** an individual is currently attempting to impersonate me on XMPP and -->
  9<!-- stir up trouble. They've been spamming various groups and posting transphobic, -->
 10<!-- homophobic, and racist content, as well as sending extremely graphic imagery. -->
 11<!-- **This individual is not me.** I do have `amolith@nixnet.services`, but my -->
 12<!-- primary XMPP account is `amolith@secluded.site`. If there's any doubt whether a -->

 16## Welcome!

 18My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
 19be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
 20co-host of the [Linux Lads] and [Linux Downtime] podcasts, small business owner,
 21and founder of not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] I also work with [MBOA,][m] a wonderful
 22co-op that creates [JMP.chat][JMP] (self-promo ahead). [JMP] gives you a regular phone
 23number that people can call and text and you receive those on any device you
 24have [an XMPP client] on. Optionally included with the $5/mo subscription is your
 25own [Snikket] server for family and friends.

 62## About the site
 63
 64Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
 65[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
 66eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
 67little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
 68copy the theme to your site.

 82## Contact
 83
 84I can be contacted through many methods but the most reliable, instance, and my
 85most preferred will _always_ be XMPP. In order of preference…
 86
 871. **XMPP:** `amolith@secluded.site`
 882. **Email:** `amolith@secluded.site`  
 89   If you wanted encrypted email, my [age] public keys are [here on my
 90   website.](/age.keys)
 913. **IRC:** `amolith` on [Libera] and [NixNet]
 924. **Matrix:** `@_bifrost_amolith=40secluded.site:aria-net.org`  
 93   If you absolutely must contact me over Matrix, do so through an XMPP bridge
 94   like the one above.
