@andypiper@macaw.social does Matrix Live happen #live ? If so, where can one watch it live? If not, where can one petition them to do it live? Maybe talk with chat while discussing Matrix?

Bottom Right there are multiple pictures.

Top shows a shadowy man with the name John Mastodon and a cancelled banner over it.

Next is a man in a ball cap with glasses and a beard with the name MATT BAER.

Then man with a beard leaning towards the camera with DJANGO DOUCET.

Then a man with a dog behind him. DAN SUPERNAULT.

Then a picture of someone turned 120 degrees in a blanket waving. VAGRANT CASCADIAN.
