 Lastly, I think it's tempting for people who focus on fediverse problems (hi!) to want to wait until all the problems are fixed to invite new people in. I think this is worth really careful consideration. But also some of the problems will ease as more people (who are made aware of the risks and are willing to take them) come in and help enliven and enrich the ecosystem. That isn't—and shouldn't be— everyone, but for those folks, I want to help them find ways in. 4 comments
 @kissane Loved this. In terms of finding grants to sustain this pursuit, first I would look for papers on similar topics to see where they got funding. Also I apologize, I don't know much about the reputation of this organization but here are two possibles I found by looking for personhood and meaning grants: https://www.templeton.org/funding-areas/character-virtue-development  @kissane This is something I think about regularly, as the developer of a multi-user fedi project. Like the point you make about teaching users to understand and reason about governance is a great one. I have the same question, but for admins. And again for the project overall. How can the software/project help ask and answer those questions? How can it make the answers discoverable and legible to prospective members? I love that you're taking this on, and I'd love to help if I can. |

I like this analogy, and I especially liked this bit:
" a generous return policy ensures that you can return them for a refund and retain both your socks and your feet," 😅
(you have a typo, "snow" as "show" shortly after that)
