Hi!
The Nexus Of Privacy looks at the connections between technology, policy, strategy, and justice. As well as privacy, that also includes AI ... and the fediverse!

Some recent threads, many including multiple posts

"It's possible to talk about The Bad Space without being racist or anti-trans – but it's not as easy as it sounds", "Compare and contrast: Fediseer, FIRES, and The Bad Space", and "Steps to a safer fediverse"
5 things white people can do to start making the fediverse less toxic for Black people
Strategies for the free fediverses, including "Focus on consent (including consent-based federation", "Support concentric federations of instances and communities", and "Consider "transitive defederation" from instances that federate with Meta"
And a few artciles as well:
