All opinions expressed on social media, blog posts and any other place are my own.

I've been staying away from large online communities for as long as I've been on the internet. This is not about to change.

While I've founded and administered communities before, I do not wish to interact with moderation. In regards to Resonite, I do not hold any moderation privileges on the Discord IM chats and cannot assist with moderation matters on-platform. Please open a moderation ticket in case you need the assistance of a moderator.
