  8**Warning:** an individual has been impersonating me on XMPP for a long while,
  9spamming homophobic, transphobic, and racist content, as well as sending
 10extremely graphic imagery. **This individual is not me.** If there's any doubt
 11whether a particular JID is me, please contact `amolith@secluded.site`.

 14## Welcome!
 15
 16My online pseudonym is Amolith. However, if we end up meeting in person, I would
 17be happy to introduce myself as myself. I am a musician, developer, sysadmin,
 18co-host of the [Linux Lads] and [Linux Dev Time] podcasts, small business owner,
 19and founder of not-for-profit [NixNet.][nn] I also work with [MBOA,][m] a
 20wonderful co-op that creates [JMP.chat][JMP] (self-promo ahead). [JMP] gives you
 21a regular phone number that people can call and text and you receive those on
 22any device you have [an XMPP client] on. Optionally included with the $5/mo
 23subscription is your own [Snikket] server for yourself, family, and friends.

 60## About the site
 61
 62Secluded.Site was hand-written entirely by me and is generated with
 63[Hugo.][hugo] [The theme][theme] is public and available for anyone to use. I'll
 64eventually get it added to [the themes directory][dir] once I clean it up a
 65little (patches welcome!), but until then, you can simply clone the repo and
 66copy the theme to your site.
