I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

The truth is, if your employees are having to consistently work through nights and weekends to meet the deadlines *your own company* has set, there’s something wrong with scheduling, staffing, expectations, or some combo of the three. https://twitter.com/dankim/status/1135627135576629248
