Maybe there's something to be said for getting a lot of smart people into the room to talk about tech in a fun and accessible and forward-looking way. It helps promote a sense of optimism, that we can pick up these tools and build something grand with them together.

On Mastodon, I think I spend too much time promoting a sense of embattlement, of "aha, here's how to block ads/trackers," or "aha, here's all the awful things <tech company> is doing." I act like we're all under siege.
