- Maintains the Commune Blog with great write ups on the issues of the modern web, social media, etc. and how they can be improved (by Commune or related projects)
- Also maintains a Personal Blog about similar topics
The Commune community is very interested in various topics and how they can relate together:
- Federated Identity
- Personal Web
- Digital Gardens
- Social Media
- The common themes here are they want these things Decentralized and Freeform
- They're also building Weird to make several of these more accessible
