Found anything worth noting? Want to send something to be included in the next issue? Want to chat about something?
You can contact me on Matrix. Be aware that Matrix is centralized due to the fact that most people make an account on Matrix.org operated by the Matrix Foundation - That’s a lot of metadata controlled unjust by just one entity.
