@stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe This reply is deliberately public. I wasn't expecting this mention, nor was I ready for it. I really balled my eyes out. Which is positive. I have never signed up for this in order to get known - or famous by any extend. not going to lie: at times it has been challenging. But also, I have met wonderful folks through the Fediverse and the web at large. I met @mischa@exquisite.social, I have met you and I got sucked in deeper into the BSDs. I like to think that this has been made possible by all of this. Whereas I started out to be an inspiration for you, you now have become my inspiration and aspiration. So: thank you - also to every member at Exquisite and the Fediverse - for being the awesome people that you are. Don't let anyone put you down - not ever. You all deserve a place, to be respected, cared for, looked after and loved :flan_heart: And please - don;t ever forget that we are all human. With our unique personality, upsides, ticks, flaws and whatnot.
