in a year or of fedizenship I’ve done a lot of poking around and chatting with folks about the promise & problems of the fediverse. I was influenced by @Are0h’s ideas about building beyond mastodon and so joined his patreon to support his Fipamo project. amid the chaos & critiques we gotta look for the helpers & the doers. It’s a big system with a lot of unknowns so good to team up w/folks who are being creative & trying to get it right. join me?

white tech bros, on their own, do a lot of repetitive damage to DIY social media. To make it better, we need more types of people empowered to create and collaborate in these computery spaces, people who bring lived experience with pushing for social change and dismantling systems of oppression are essential! Find these people! support them!
I don’t think we can know if any one person or project will lead to the promised land here, but by supporting & collaborating with people who are chasing the vision, we help make sure we’re moving in the right direction. experiment! Make mistakes! Fail! Learn! Try all the things! Communicate! make art that connects people! you get the idea lol
@seachanger and avoid the hell out of any one person who says they can lead us to the promised land 'cause that's a cult
