Glad to hear Mozilla has restored the anti-censorship Firefox add-ons that they took offline at the request of Roskomnadzor.
But still weird that it happened.
Every reputable org I know does one thing with requests from Roskonnadzor: ignores them.

We did it, folks! Matrix has hit a new milestone in its open governance by electing a Governing Board to guide the Foundation and provide more representative and structured input to the evolution of the protocol.
Of course, while seating a Governing Board is a big deal, the hardest work remains ahead of us. I have high hopes for what we will accomplish together! 🚀 https://matrix.org/blog/2024/06/election-results/

Hey folks! I'm looking for examples of elected officials and people running for office who have accounts on the fediverse.
Know of one? Please let me know! Boosts appreciated :boost_requested:

The organizers of @npub1l9a…yneh have given community organizers a massive gift 🎁
Let's not squander it!
A *sold out* #PyConUS 2024 proved that even large events can prioritize safety and inclusion for caregivers and immunocompromised people by way of requiring masks, and gathering venue data to calibrate their policy from year-to-year. Smaller events have proven it's possible at that scale, too.
Now is the time for at least one other large event to step up.
Who will it be? 👀

The little library down the street which already features books and crafts, has been expanded to include seeds 🤩
Looking forward to adding to the collection!
Also, a PSA for locals, the Petaluma Regional Library *already* has a seed library 🌱

It is truly remarkable how Python communities are tackling the challenge head on. To my knowledge, no other tech community/ecosystem is mounting a response as robust as Python's.
I suspect it's no coincidence that Python was one of the first to confront its cultural issues in the early 2010's, and no doubt it helps that PyCon US is itself setting a high standard.
I'd love to see a flagship event in another ecosystem like Ruby or PHP step up – I bet it'd have great cascading effects.
