"The future belongs to the builders, not the critics."
Now my personal motto. To be mentioned at the start of all #FediCollective #brewbuild IRL coffee + #EthicalAI discussions I host #Vancouver

Brew & Build: a low-pressure #ThirdSpace
Creative & Data-Driven Collaboration

The Pitch
The Gap: I've always felt a disconnect between creative design and data development worlds.
The Solution: A low-pressure third space where creatives and data folks can mingle and form teams.
The Goal: Fuse creative empathy with data rigor to build the next generation of social platforms.

#CoffeeWithCrissy VIBE
We want this to be a kind place. Our goal is to build a warm and diverse community. No question is too small. No idea is too silly. This is a place where we all help each other learn and grow. where creatives and data folks come together to build the future of the internet.

Build solutions peacefully to benefit #DWeb #OpenWeb and use #TechForGood via tech optimism; build what we love together

#FediCollective poster with Margaret Mead quote: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Hello. Join @atomicpoet and I for an IRL #coffeechat RE:

1. #PeerTube co-operative (member-owned to help make video-sharing more affordable on #fedi)

2. #BIPOC & #2SLGBTQIA representation on #DecentralizedSocial #DWeb with Tiny Ghost Game Studios co-founder Mayumi Rollings

Let's build the #OpenWeb together to be a safe and fun online space where you're seen, heard, respected!

#FediCollective meets on last Sunday of September, 3pm PDT at La Forêt on Palm Ave. (near Royal Oak Skytrain).

Agenda posted next week but this is the most advanced notice I can provide currently so stay tuned!

Inviting #Vancouver-local folx like @reiver @boris and everyone who joined us during #FediCon2025 :)

#FediCollective designs I made for inviting teens & young adults to my #BrewBuild days where WE actively co-create the #OpenWeb (vs. passive consumption).

ICYMI "banger " is GenZ slang for "impressive" (LOL) otherwise I"m thinking bangers and mash (I'm Canadian but I love that food)!

#Vancouver & #Fediverse I'd love your help with online and IRL get-togethers where young people feel safe to build with us!

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.”
