Hey tech friends, this is a great list idea and I think it'd be cool if we helped build it out - if you can contribute info on "tech conferences that offer childcare", throw a PR or two at it:

A gripping, personal account of the human network that supported Snowden's leak of documentation that detailed the machinery of surveillance in the US.

FRIENDLY REMINDER

These instances are not run on commercial servers that proprietary companies can afford. More often than not, these are hobbyists running an instance for the benefit of Mastodon.

DO NOT SPREAD WORD OF MASTODON WITHOUT CLARIFYING THIS. If you do, everyone coming will flock to Mastodon.social, which puts a strain on that one instance and makes it look bad. There are other instances for a reason.

Other than that small preparation, be sure to donate to your instance admin.
