   #ForkOff

   We should really focus on the governance structure to ensure we dont wind up with another "benevolent dictator" situation

     #ForkOff co-ops and other forms of democratic self governance are good for projects like this. So long as we ensure a voice is given to marginalized people

     @Laurelai I've seen a few suggesting a coop of sorts, I'd say maybe a mutualist coop would be the best type of coop for a fork.

     #ForkOff we should also promote the patreons of people involved to ensure they are compensated for their labor

     @Laurelai yes, I agree. I will make a loose analogy (that I do not mean to have taken too seriously, although inevitably someone will): we are currently in a state of affairs roughly analogous to various _interregna_ in history, particularly the "Articles of Confederation" era of American history, when the newly autonomous British colonies tried to muddle through governance as a loose collection of states
