   I think I'm largely preaching to the converted about this on the fediverse, but I have a reason:

   Many of you, at some point, will be involved in the planning of an event. Please be the person who pushes the other organisers to *really* justify running the event in-person only. If there's any way remote attendance can be accommodated, please fight for it!

     I've seen discussion around several in-person only events lately, where the organisers justify it by saying they can't get the best quality of conversation online.

     Well, you can't get any of my conversation at an event I can't get to.

     An in-person event that you have to travel to excludes people with caring responsibilities, disabilities, and limited funds.
