Finally: I am very excited to be able to talk about fedi and other community-run social spaces online at a conference like #RePublica #rp23.
Almost exactly a decade ago, in December 2013, I gave a talk at #30C3 about how walled gardens should be called out as de-facto monopolies:

Community-run online spaces are one of the ways walled gardens can be defeated. So I am absolutely stoked to be able to help improve them by having thoughtful public conversations about them.
@rysiek Talk to the panel again about time. You have an hour, and I've found a whole lot of debate gets silenced in the interests of "nuance". It's a terrible balancing act, but helped if you have prior agreement that you can take away the mic for time alone.
