Imagine people you disagree with, politically and ideologically, have come into power and they intend to abuse this new capability to harm you directly. That’s where you should want to draw the line at government restraint. Expect abuse and ill will, and you’ll see where the boundaries ought to be. Even if you agree with those in power now, expect power to shift and define potential for harm on that basis.
Because it gives governments authority to pick and choose which sites to ban or allow, it’s a mechanism that can accommodate political coercion and subterfuge. The platforms can now be de-platformed.
It’s no longer user-to-user websites, its user-to government-to-user.
I'm surprised that's the case, I'll ask hiring team to take a look based on your username. If it's the same username on github, then that'll help. Sorry that happened.
I suggest keeping an eye out. We have regular internships and positions for those out of college. For eng, we’re backfilling right now with a focus on seniors. But our general need is for contributors who can work with our stack. Our code is all public. AI code generation and skill with the frameworks we need is our general trajectory.

I gave our hiring team a heads up about this thread as a source for candidates. Could you drop a comment if you don’t get the human reply you’re expecting in a while? Really appreciate you taking an interest, and I hope that we’re showing respect to folks like you in our process.
That’s interesting feedback about there not being a system level strategy communicated on the site. I’ll pass that along. Thanks for pointing that out.
It’s very much a system level strategy, but more by way of democratized technology as opposed to head on disruption. I asked the same questions when I joined.
We want to provide powerful technology to candidates that are not going to be supported by the two main parties. And we have some other qualifications, like not taking corporate money. The more that independent candidates can succeed and win, the more we normalize the electorate expecting something that isn’t just to two main parties. In a way, it’s the electorate that we are trying to empower by supporting viable alternatives to the current system.
I’m glad there is interest in what we’re doing. I think we are on track too, making increasing impacts and I am excited about our growing team.
