Yesterday the "Reflection" project started officially as part of the new @PrototypeFund round! 🌟🌈

The team consists of @p2panda and people from the GNOME gang around @tbernard and @jsparber.

We gonna release "Reflection" (formerly Aardvark) - a GTK-based, collaborative, local-first text editor! Aaaand:

All of this is part of a larger effort to explore p2p code, UX patterns, reusable UI components, debugging tools, organize events and document our learnings.

in case anyone missed it over the weekend:

the new, improved Fosstodon dot org platformed a fash mod again.

people had to raise the alarm over him again, and he stepped down of his own accord before he could be held accountable again.

the story in brief is that a couple of whistleblowers found that volunteer moderator Anachron had posted a... let's say, questionable entry on his personal blog. Anachron since deleted that post - but, well, thankfully for us (though perhaps not so for your psyche), nothing is ever truly deleted from the Internet.

an archive of the post can be found here: https://archive.is/vreBu

last night, instance owner Gina stated that, in response to the alarm raised over this post, Anachron had decided to step down. she further clarified that she had read the post before accepting his offer to volunteer(!) and thought that it was A-okay.

Anachron then posted a follow-up to his first blog post, the format of which I'm sure will surprise nobody who's used to how white-boy techbros behave when called out on their shit: painting himself as the victim of a harassment mob hell-bent on shoving "their political views" into "a platform full of... smart people with a lot of passion and amazing ideas."
