An excellent talk - worth watching for anybody interested in creating better digital spaces - followed by an equally-excellent Q&A session. Dr. Coghill's segment starts about 12 minutes in.
In my keynote yesterday I made sure to highlight @rude1.blacksky.team & @blackskyweb.xyz , @transrights.northsky.social , @latinsky.social when talking about a just digital community for marginalized people. @clirnews.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/VQ-rH7A...
