Hi all, excited to join the #socialcoop and looking forward to getting more involved in the community! I'm interested in #selfhosting, #privacy, and #dataautonomy, so I'm curious to learn more about the #platformcoop model. Other interests include #freesoftware, #soccer, #backpacking, and #music (especially #heavymetal). #introduction #brooklyn
