@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange (I realise I'm muted here, but I think some of those negative points are significant) - No federation: some bastard can come along and buy it.

Do you fancy writing a little about #BoardGames and sharing it slowly with others? There&#39;s less than a week left to send something in for the first issue of #OfDiceAndMeeples, an APA. See https://tekeli.li/of-dice-and-meeples/ or ask me for more information.

Via our own actual RSS feed, would be best.
