Remember: if you don't agree +with them, you can always create your own instance! That's the beauty +of the fediverse. + +The process for adding tags is simple: in your profile settings page, +there will be a text field where you can type a list of comma or space +separated tags. These will then show up in your profile, but you can +change them at any time. And worry not, we don't keep a record of your +past tags.
