Thinking that, if Melon Husk ends up in some govt level role, I'm now more concerned than ever about sovereignty of online information and data.
I'll just leave this here.

This.
At Public Spaces where fortunately mastodon had a Talk too, I called it
„The end of humanity“:

Anyway, since probably _all_ fedi devs are now seriously concerned „about sovereignty of online information“ my only solution is that we should establish a monthly or biweekly robust virtual Place where we talk and come together. Especially those working fulltime and payed work fine but they do not work _together_ ...
@sl007 my RubyWorld keynote in Japan next month will talk about this in the context of decentralisation as well. I agree that finding ways to collaborate, and doing so broadly and globally, is very important.
BTW I have my Fediverse Explorer poster from digital.courage ready to hang in my home office now!
