Skim before following: https://seirdy.one/about/fediverse-greeting/. It describes how I accept follow requests, block people, etc.

Does not believe in ignoring demographics because they're "only N% of our users". Interested in #Accessibility, #SearchEngines, #Privacy, #Security (in that order).

tech-stuff: check my "uses" page: https://seirdy.one/about/uses/
Other tech interests in no particular order: linked data, the #IndieWeb, the #Gemini protocol (more into the community than the technology).

Politics: Leftist. Under-represented groups deserve disproportionately greater attention. Trans rights, abortion is healthcare, be crime do gay. Second generation Indian-American.

Neuro-atypicality: I have #anxiety and #ADHD, and deal with #OverStimulation.
