Over in the Mastodon-network (a silo of its own), people keep doing the self-introduction thing. I find this idea rather befuddling, esp. when it comes to sharing personal info which we learnt we shouldn't do on the web.

I think you can learn more about a person when you listen to her tone of voice, her manners, and only to some extent via her interests. With regard to the latter, an annotated list of my tags may suffice.

#batteries (although in the context of infrastructure, energy, climate, less as hardware or essential building blocks but as objects on which people put their misguided hopes on)

#counterculture (I went along with it for many years, now I primarily think about its negative impacts; historical interest)

#drought (is more than "heat" a concern to me)

#ecocolonialism (from the perspective of how Greens and Progressives offset environmental costs on poor nations when trying to jump-start their green economies)

#energy (broad category, includes "renewables", "nuclear", often "infrasturcture")

#federation (how its technical aspects create the conversations-based foundation of the Fediverse)

#fediverse (history as well as present and future developments of something that is more than the Mastodon-network)

#goodread (a corollary to "sources")

#heat (rarely)

#identica (history)
