I know there will be mean-spirited attacks from the usual suspects, trying to make Fediverse developers and enjoyers feel bad for getting together and talking about the things we love.

Every movement has its gatekeepers who don't want to do anything, but also want to keep the rest of us from doing anything, either. 🤷🏽

But I hope for people who actually care about the Fediverse, you know that you're wanted in this movement, and we can find ways to connect.

If you can't make it to Brussels, it doesn't mean the people who are there don't value you.
