I understand where they are coming from but that is way too much of a technological framing. Even an encrypted open source Internet can be super unsafe to exist in.

Safety comes from social and political structures and decisions that […]

‘AltMetric’-style services, which track citations to academic papers outside of academic literature—so in the news, social media, etc.—have been quick to incorporate #bluesky posts, but I’ve yet to see one that includes the #fediverse

Republicans have no ideas for who they want to help or what they want to make. They just want to get rid of people.

Fighting autocracy is a shared struggle ✊
"Democracy is now back to 1985 levels according to some metrics, with 72 percent of the world’s population now living under autocracy. Russia and China are less free today than 20 years ago. And so is the United States".
