(#mna5wlq) @eaplmx LOL even worse 🤣 🤦‍♂️ So no 🤪

(#mna5wlq) @prologic Haha, Godperator then

(#mna5wlq) @eaplmx My only _gripe_ with the term "Poderator" is it's too close to "Moderator" but oh well 😅

(#mna5wlq) @prologic Smoot Poderator 🎶 Poderator is brilliant! Reminds me of the Podcast and the concept of Pod itself, Ham radio and such.

(#mna5wlq) @eaplmx Yeah I agree! 👌 One of my greatest hopes is that as Yarn.social continues to grow, that each Pod and it's Pod Owner/Operator (_we seem to be calling Poderator thanks to @ullarah_) will create and nature small communities. The "network" as such will basically be an interconnected network of Yarn pods + Twtxtv2 feeds.

(#mna5wlq) @prologic I would say empathy and compassion are extremely important and really difficult to grasp and practice! That being said, in this group/community/organization/oasis/bunch_of_people, I really appreciate having it!

(#mna5wlq) @movq I _think_ overall there are two issues at play here we can agree on, whether or not it's "managed" by a distro (_I think that's kind of irrelevant here, I use/develop on macOS for example and use `brew` but I don't want my deps to come from Homebrew uggh yuck_) -- Anyway There are two issues I see: - Supply Chain -- Being able to vet, validate and verify everything that goes into a piece of software or product/service - Library hygiene -- Being prudent about libraries as a Library author and reducing or eliminating "transitive" dependencies.

(#mna5wlq) @movq Yeah I get your points. I used to maintain hundreds of packages for the CRUX distro once upon a time, so I get it. Your points about having a "2nd pair of eyes" are somewhat valid, but I say that because I've been a maintainer myself, we don't often do the "right" things as a maintainer and we sometimes get sloppy/lazy....

(#mna5wlq) @eaplmx We can start with us, treat each other with respect and decency. That's a good start 👌 Listen to one another, have empathy and compassion. 🤗 These are not difficult concepts 😂

(#mna5wlq) politics is a really complicated topic, to not say dirty. Needed but dirty at the end, so we delegate that kind the people to manage the public life. That oversimplification said, we are surrounded by power, violence, rights violations and such. Simple fixes for complicated problems don't work, and the last question is: What are we going to do as individuals and as a community?
