For my booth at this year’s #yellowknife trade show, I would like to make a VR #ProportionalRepresentation simulator that lets you experience life in a healthy multi-party democracy. Not sure how to do this though. @ikesau @paige @reece you have any ideas? Maybe it could be an augmented reality thing where you rent goggles for a couple days that make it look like your town has cheaper houses and better transit etc.

Big appreciation to @Jeremy for building, promoting, and maintaining nwt.social.

In a place like Yellowknife, creating digital infrastructure that is locally rooted actually matters. It is easy to use global platforms. It is harder to build something.

Genuinely curious: how can local businesses meaningfully support independent servers and communities like this without turning it into advertising?
