👋 I'm one of the admins here on #NelsonSocial
This is my "personal" account, I have a more professional one on https://hachyderm.io/@mattwynne for my work in #OpenSource #Software.
I'm from northwest England originally, I moved to #Nelson in January 2021 with my #Family. We came here for the #mountains and especially the #skiing but I think we'll stay for the lovely people.

“Conspiracy fictions also tell us we don’t have to act. If the problem is a remote and highly unlikely Other – rather than a system in which we’re deeply embedded, which demands a democratic campaign of resistance and reconstruction – you can wash your hands of it”
Covid vaccines, chemtrails, the Great Reset … Why do people invent false conspiracies when there are so many real ones to worry about? There’s only one way to find out: ask a believer
