I think this community is at its best when it's actively agitating in other communities, but that is notoriously one of the most divisive issues in the community (i.e. "should we do that or not?") and I've personally been really busy lately, so I haven't had a good opportunity to advocate for it. There's already a specter haunting the fediverse, so we might as well make it real.
