@Mike McCue nice interview with @npub1sacl...kcpe and @npub1fd2l...f2f9 I'm super curious about your research in to / hearing from folks who want groups / privacy and are frustrated.

I find it funny that Americans are very focused on the 13 British colonies that joined the United States of America and nobody ever even acknowledges the 10 others which did not. It feels like a massive blind spot. The only time they’re even obliquely referenced is related to the war of 1812. Odd given how much obsession Americans have with the country’s founding.
