Very cool, Chris! +1 for making Mastodon a better place! Is there documentation for your translator I can read up on?

Hello Fediverse!

We're doing a crazy animation made with libre tools and giving it all away CC/GPL (many are new tools we made for the film). Check out the new Wires for Empathy teaser! You can donate to support the work, and get your name in the credits! We're also looking for sponsors. You can also help us by spreading the word.

We merge into theirs: 596 files
They merge back into ours: 250,000 files.

Gated Check-ins.
The best of times.

Maybe it's a good thing to be a little bit pessimistic. So when things work out fine, it's a pleasant surprise :)

The boss is out for a week. Hopefully he will have a newborn soon. That makes me the point of contact for a lot of things. A growing appreciation for the knowledge he has and the decisions he has to make.
