Skynet Community Update — November
2020 has been quite a year. I mean that in every way possible — there’s been good and bad, gains and losses, hope and despair. I never quite agreed with how lots of other companies operate — the idea that they should ignore world events in order to avoid possible negative attention to their product. But I understand the desire to focus without distraction.
I think we’ve walked a decent line here. The nature of our business is rooted in things that can be political: things like privacy, censorship, and the free spread of information. We certainly tackle privacy issues fairly frequently, especially on Twitter, and I was proud to see David’s announcements in our Discord channel regarding staying safe in the pandemic, voting, and important legislation related to free speech and security.
A lot has been happening, and we’ve got a lot to cover. You might have noticed that this post is no longer called the Sia Community Update— we’ll talk about that a little later on. This new cadence (every four months or so) is what you can now expect for these updates. Importantly, we’ve got a lot of other great ways to follow us, and you can find those at the end of the post.
Let’s get on with it.
