I'm looking forward to seeing what you're coming up with, this is very interesting, and yes tricky. Also looking forward to what you come up with at @newpublic.org

Open internet, mutual aid, coops, social justice, etc for decades. It’s all exceedingly well documented. Recently I put out a podcast talking about all of this at @revolution.social

We’re not an AI company. We’re not giving or selling people’s content for AI training. It clearly says so in our FAQ at divine.video/faq I assume this rumor started because everyone distrusts tech companies. But you find who I am and what I’m about by searching about me. I’ve been working for an
