@Vivaldi I run a IT helpdesk. I've been doing it for over 20 years

Well to blow my own trumpet:

Librecast on building the next-generation internet: “The code we create and the tools we use can help or harm humanity. We write our political values into our code”

This month we speak to Esther Payne, community manager and privacy advocate at Librecast. The organisation develops free and open-source (FOSS) software to enable multicast transmitting data to groups simultaneously without depending on a centralised structure.

@onepict as you should! I love your rights-based approach to your technology, and the fact that you value and help build community within tech. As a person who holds a master's in Human Rights and is currently working as a community specialist a tech company, your message truly resonated. 🙂 Have a nice week!

Esther Payne

@Vivaldi thank you. It's nice to know a little about the person behind the account. Especially in these times 😊

@onepict there's a thin line between managing a brand account in an authentic way, while also preserving one's right to privacy! But I get where you're coming from. Luckily this is a very safe company with a strong focus on community. (I just realized I didn't include it in my original response, but I'm a woman as well. 🙂)

Esther Payne

@Vivaldi You're right, and my case is different because my project @librecast is still building and we are fortunate to have received help from @NGIZero it's a very different circumstance. As I feel it's important for folks to know who's on our project. But we've also got a responsibility to be open to folks on here.

Also as a woman you have to assess how much to put out there. Especially as as you point out Vivaldi is a browser but you're posting on it's behalf.

@Vivaldi But I totally get where you're coming from.

Because for many women online in the public eye, harrassment and stalking are a sad fact of life.

The silence

Whenever there's fall out in a community or a community space is less diverse, we end up with a postmortem on our community areas. Somet...

"Women don't belong" is such an American idea. I'm over it.

wheresalice Mar 8

@Vivaldi what do you do to acknowledge this on the other 364 days of the year?

@wheresalice I wholeheartedly support your question to make sure we're not virtue-signaling here. I'm a woman and this post was published out of my own initiative, it's not part of any pre-planned social media strategies or anything like that.

I don't think I can answer your question other than with examples from my own experience, but you're welcome to send an email to our HR and Office Culture Manager ([email protected]), I'm sure she will be happy to give you a more detailed answer.

Fubaroque Mar 8

@Vivaldi

Do you?

So how many male/female/other employees do you have? And what is the average salary of each category?

#letusknow

@fubaroque well I don't know what the question refers to. I am a woman, and we are 10 women (in a team of 57, if I'm not mistaken). I don't personally know what my colleagues make, although all salaries are of public domain in Norway, I haven't checked. If you want to discuss this further you're welcome to send an email to our HR manager ([email protected]), she will able to give you a much more detailed response :)

@Vivaldi Any suggested alternatives to Proton since they're helping authoritarians now?

@karamazov1879 @Vivaldi

One, Proton are following the law in the country in which they are incorporated and only provided billing information which was then able to be linked to a person. If that person had exercised better op sec, their billing information would have been inadequate for that task.
