Libera.Chat would not be what we are today, if not for OSL.

OSL has been an integral part of open source and open culture project support for a long time.

Nonprofits, businesses, and governments, and you depend on projects OSL sponsors.

OSL is worth saving.

My first posts on here last year were a collection of OC cloud cartoons. I've recently added those -- and the plant cartoons I made for my Rimworld houseplants mod -- to redbubble and spreadshirt. Links are on my website!

Moderation is a skill.

Hiring a team of moderators is a related, but different skill.

Defining and refining a set of policies for teams of skilled moderators to enforce, is yet another skill.

Building tools and telemetry for skilled moderators to use to enforce policies, is yet another skill.

@washingtonpost.com STILL hasn't addressed that 🚩LoTT🚩 follower's front page print article!

The article WRONGLY represents out of date data as proof most people in the US support anti-trans legislation. The data DISPROVES this!

The article is still online with a deceptively vague clarification!

DeSantis just signed the most extreme slate of anti-trans laws in modern history.

A bathroom ban will result in many arrests in months to come.

A care ban targets 80% of adult care.

They are getting little coverage.

Governor Ron DeSantis signed several anti-trans bills today. One of these bills, a bathroom ban, is likely to lead to many arrests of transgender people in bathrooms.

Always a lot of concern about free speech around fascists- and I think it’s important to talk about how fascists actually make it much much more difficult to have free conversation and speech. By protecting their speech we are limiting so much other speech.
