  8**Warning:** an individual is currently attempting to impersonate me on XMPP and
  9stir up trouble. They've been spamming various groups and posting transphobic,
 10homophobic, and racist content, as well as sending extremely graphic imagery.
 11**This individual is not me.** I do have `amolith@nixnet.services`, but my
 12primary XMPP account is `amolith@secluded.site`. If there's any doubt whether a
 13particular JID is me, please contact `amolith@secluded.site`.

 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.

 64## About the site
 65
 66Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
 67[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
 68eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
 69little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
 70copy the theme to your site.
