The consequences of the calls to action to incite violence by Trump and his allies - politicians, media, family, supporters - are not over.
They continue to be felt now, during this transition time, and will be after President-elect Biden is sworn in. Words and actions matter.
There must be accountability at the voting booths, in the courts, and in the bank accounts of offenders. It's past time to drive home the point that supporting white supremacy and dangerous lies is unconscionable and carries consequences.

I am trying to work out, given the current employer insistence that people have certificates / evidence for skills etc if we should as a community come up with our own for using mastodon / fediverse and other free software tools.
I found a LaTeX template so am experimenting a little here.
No idea how we could award this, but could be some sort of internal thing, to those who have been here and interacted for say 6th months +
Just a thought.

I tried to e-mail Tom to suggest Activity Pub, e-mail failed and got sent back. I used the contact form on their website , hardly a good first impression that eh.
Here is the contact form anyway.

WordPress ActivityPub support
Hi all
I just noticed that https://www.creativeeducation.co.uk
are looking for a WordPress developer so I have contacted them to ask if they could implement activity pub within their new website structure.
Worth a try.,
If anyone is interested in the role or maybe would like to contact Tom and ask for ActivityPub support to be included it may help.
Anyone got a suggestion for a privacy friendly url shortener please to avoid the long urls like above in posts., thanks
