Iโm proud to be joining @Mastodonโs Board of Directors to guide and support this important platform.
I believe that #Mastodon and the #Fediverse represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.
But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because our strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.
I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now letโs build a better world together ๐

Try `margin-trim` instead.

STEM education taking a brutal beating in the grant cuts is despair-inducing because this is my wife's and all my closest friends' field. They all help hundreds upon hundreds of students every year. Awful. And darkly absurd given the enormous need for this work.
BINGO!! So much THIS!!
I sometimes get frustrated with people on the left, because I can sometimes reach people on the right. I'm carefully reeling them in to see the world in a more broadly kind way, and someone on the left suddenly starts attacking and wrecks my recruitment methods. Argh!

And is there a good comparison between Cryptpad and NextCloud that I can read somewhere?
