Also why I'm soft-forking and simplifying to the max the chatmail relay of the one and only REALLY federated alternative to Whatsapp.

It can only spread like a virus if sys.admins don't have to spend hours trying to understand how to install it and the docs get trimmed down to size.

(Hence me starting with the docs)

CONTEXT: I used to work for Hammersmith City Council in London for the Disabled People's Comission taking complex texts and converting them into Easy-Read format. I was literally paid 15GBP an hour to do this for months.

John Pring - A devastating read: John Pring's The Department lays bare the "slow bureaucratic violence" of the DWP

The author and journalist tells us about his stark exposΓ© of the machinations of the Department for Work and Pensions and the deaths associated with its actions – and inactions.

Now Then Sheffield

I believe our society should be accessible for everyone.

That is why I am proud to support the #EasyRead campaign in this election.
