The plan was to make PV4 federated for a single user, but after the events of the last week or so, I'm thinking hard about just opening it up the platform to everyone.

That's so much more work, but the need is apparent.

I do believe we are pushing forward in terms of social media improving, but most if not all of these efforts hit the wall at the white gaze.

The tech is the easy part. The problem is culture.

I think it's going to take building a culture of inclusivity around the tech needs. De-centralizing social media is a fantastic idea, but it seems de-centralizing the culture around social media needs to be a priority.

Diversity and inclusivity have to be baked in before a single line of code is written. Personal ideology can't dictate what needs are met vs those that are not.

Protecting people cannot be a tacked on feature.

@Are0h This is why I'm trying to do "Org first - Code later"

@maloki Word. This is smart. I think that's what it's really going to take.

@maloki @Are0h Theoretically nice, but in my experience that hits just as many problems, with people not really wanting to organize around nothing... at the very least a design document rough draft is probably necessary very early on, before formal organization.
