Everybody!

Esteemed #Fediverse

“Twit” blocks accounts of journalists and competitors.
We are fully aware of the #mastodon bans at Elmo.

As elected Policy Lead for #ActivityPub I have expressed my deepest concerns and strong protest in a Telephone Call with the Assistant to @EC_Commissioner_Vestager this morning. #EU

Our task should be to enable 6 year old kids to write Fediverse software.
And we should really try to avoid any western, white only view.
The people on the Carteret Islands are amongst the Climate Refugees of Oceania and they do _not_ have Internet.
