Abandoned space in Toronto subway station transformed into new sports complex
One of the great things about being a pickleball enthusiast in Toronto is that you can find a court practically anywhere: in the middle of a mall, an impromptu indoor lake, and now, even inside a subway station.This week, Pickleplex Social Club announced the opening of its newest...

I didnāt want to have to write this, but I feel like I need to speak up. Lately, people have been spreading false and really hurtful things about me, and itās been weighing on me a lot. Iāve been accused of being Amber, Jade, and even nora_mira, none of that is true. I honestly donāt understand why these rumours keep happening.
Iāve also seen people say that I evade blocks or ban people from my server. I donāt do that. I donāt ban people at all, and my server is small and quiet. Still, fake screenshots and made-up stories keep circulating, and it hurts to see things about myself that simply arenāt real.
I want to be honest: I do swear sometimes with close friends, and I regret that. But the things being said publicly, the behaviour being attached to my name that isnāt me. Iām part of a plural system, and I handle legal-related responsibilities within it, but I donāt go around taking legal action or trying to hurt anyone.
What hurts the most is seeing Google Docs and call-out posts made about me and my friends. These documents cause real damage, not just to reputations but to peopleās mental health. Thereās already so much drama on X/Twitter, and Iām scared of that kind of harm spreading here too.
I need to say this clearly: the allegations being thrown at me being called a pedophile, a groomer, a catfisher are false and deeply upsetting. Being falsely āexposedā like this is terrifying. I donāt want this. I never wanted any of this.
If you see screenshots or posts claiming to be from me, please know that they may be fake. All Iām asking is for the accusations to stop. I want peace. I want to be able to exist here without fear, without constantly having to defend myself.
Please, let this end.

Understanding what makes a social platform a community isn't straightforward. I'm very far from a sociologist, so I'm probably not the right person to ask, but as we look at growing the Social Web I think it's an important question. How do we help platforms become more?

A mural by Clara Leff in SĆ£o Paulo, Brazil.
Through color and form, the wall becomes a moment of calm within the urban landscape.
Street art as a gesture of presence and emotion.

Devrooms, lightning talks, hallway conversations, and more waffles than necessary
@fosdem is intense, but itās also one of the few moments where open source feels very tangible.
The full house at our community meetup this year was a great sign of how this ecosystem keeps growing. Thanks to everyone who joined, and to @nextcloud @openproject and @passbolt
He has given away more than 1500 Linux laptops to people in his community, and he's just getting warmed up.

I think the #Community movie will end up being a 50th anniversary special just like Inspector SpaceTime.
Coming Summer 2059. Only in theaters, if they still exists.
#UnplugBigTech. Schreibt uns:
1. Was ihr schon umgesetzt habt.
2. Was ihr aktuell umsetzt oder plant.
3. Was euch (noch) Kopfzerbrechen bereitet.
#Ansible track at #cfgmgmtcamp started with a full house with the "Ansible - State of the Community" talk by @gundalow .

šDuring these challenging times of banning #books and whitewashing history, we need educate ourselves and reflect on the truth that our destinies are connected, and progress for one #community strengthens us all.
