Ronen Tamari @ronentk.me · 30/09/2026Of course this is easier said than done, but similar to what @emily.space said - building on AT Protocol with the awesome collaborative community here opens up new opportunities for implementing these principles and creating truly resilient and democratic infrastructure! 150
Ronen Tamari @ronentk.me · 30/09/2026Yep that's a fair concern, a lot of open science ventures started open but then got enshittified like so many other startups.
