Hi fedi! @darius and I are digging into our governance research, and we have a great starter list of server admins to potentially talk to about governance and administration models and challenges, but *very unofficially*, I’d love to hear suggestions, too.
We’re looking at active servers ranging from ~100-2,500 users with some flex on either end of the range, and we’re building our list with an eye on structural, geographic, demographic (along multiple axes), and linguistic diversity.

constructive sabotage idea for anti-capitalists
Build FOSS software that's clearly better than the alternatives, but make it *exactly* the right amount of hostile-to-corporations; so that it is frustrating to use and slows down business processes, but isn't *so* bad that it justifies buying or developing an alternative

Also works with existing projects that are already widely adopted by corporations

My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
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.
