#FediBlock in case you missed it: me.dm - it seems to have launched about a week ago.

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
