I wish conservatives voters would understand that you can't conserve a world that's already gone. The world of the 1950s and 60s, of coal industries and decent blue collar jobs. Those are completely gone. Nothing we do will ever bring them back. In fact, our feverish attempts at bringing them back is causing more problems, giving conservative backers an excuse to conserve other systems that hold all of us back. We need new ideas, not more of the same. Change we can believe in. #society

Without this @nlnet support, given that I spent most my savings working-in-commons, delightful project would have likely become unmaintained in a way where it withers and is forgotten.
#Funding tech alone is inadequate in itself for proper #adoption of it within #society.
So I am very happy with the opportunity to give renewed attention to #fediverse and #SocialWeb technologies that I have been passionately advocating for the last 7 years.
We live in a #technosphere and are being force-fed #DigitalTransformation. See how it destroys the fabric of our #society.
#DelightfulCommons curated lists are inspired by #awesome lists on #Github and I realized they still represent a sterile lab with glaring TL lights and metal glinting everywhere.
In a quest to bring more of the missing #social connecting layers to bridge the gap between tech vs. #people and #humanity, I decided to give things a friendlier makeover.
