Increasing personal contact for me is the way... not saying no tech but to keep a lid on it and going for the people upgrades instead...
Reducing or maintaining tech and doing the people thing. Because I for longevity and practice it's the people thing and I feel tech above a certain level of tech (like having Mastodon recently is quite enough) actually programming more can be hogging time and our squirrelling of perhaps is just not maintainable later or further attacked anyway.
So if now Mastodon is taken to be enough to develop and make contact with each other and then Jitsi Meet for audio/video, The we have more perfect relationships and sense of comfort with each other.
What else do we want / need? (and yes some of us will still do more stuff so don't worry just take foot of the gas a bit and head for the people)
When we have text and audio chats UNITED I think we can be united ourselves and quite formidable BUT again we just have to practise weekly talking more often... about everything and everything will slowly get better (more practised people).
IF THERE IS SOMEWHERE TALKING ABOUT THINGS LET'S MAKE A LIST WHILE GOOD POOL OF PEOPLE ARE HERE -
GO EARLY FOR THESE THINGS
