The more I think about this, the more important it seems. JUSTICE, not FREEDOM, is what I want from software. Freedom could be a means, but is not the end.https://twitter.com/lizthegrey/status/1172926347603259392 …

When you have time, can you say more about how "justice" can originate from software? I see use of software being just/unjust but not software qua software. Thanks!

Who decides what software features take priority? Which marginalized groups are being left behind when we choose to deprioritize anti-harassment festures, accessibility, translation, and usability for "pure technical features"? All technical decisions are political decisions.

+1! on "All technical decisions are political decisions." All features have a cost. Who decides on the cost / feature tradeoff? Is an English only interface unjust if never marketed to a Hindi audience?
