Happy to see more police than protesters at Dudula's appearance in Mouille Point. Interesting to see Dudula on their Twitter account also supportive of the UK fascist group Britain First, who claim the term "racism" was "invented by a communist mass murderer"

So I think @zulip is the solution for all the problems I've got with free Slack for the community orgs I work with. The problems with free Slack: - Only 90 days message history - The more channels you have, the worse it is. - Thread discover is shit. And Zulip solves all that.

I found this entertaining presentation, Legacy Cities, on an instance of the extinct elephant site that Twitter does not permit to be named: octodon.social/@ethanz/109479… Perhaps @urbanjodi and other urbanists will enjoy
