I'm thrilled to see #Purism grow. I'm here to do my part in augmenting humanity's creativity, agency, consent, and coordination through computing. And I'm glad such an amazing team is furthering the reach and development of tools to enable those goals.

Here's hoping that it catches on with the masses
