Educating users about potential dangers and promoting digital literacy will empower individuals to make informed decisions about their online presence and the devices they use."

Learn about assistive technology enabling more people to do software development, such as: - Typing using only the eyes with OptiKey - Using software without sight with NVDA - The use of AI tools for coders with dyslexia, cerebral palsy, or trouble communicating The use of these tools reflects the [Social model of disability](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_model_of_disability) which says that if a disabled person is prevented from their job because the tools are not accessible, it's not a deficiency with their body; it's a deficiency in their environment.

Pay - if you can - for that password manager, the pro version of your favorite browser, buy some Steam games on Linux. Do what you can to help support the cause you hold dear. Not only are you thanking a developer for their hard work, you're showing companies that there is, in fact, a market for Linux software.

    We’re a collective of individuals upset with the way social media has been traditionally governed. A severe lack of moderation has led to major platforms like Facebook to turn into political machinery focused on disinformation campaigns as a way to make profit off of users. Websites with ineffective moderation allow hate speech to proliferate and contribute to the erosion of minority rights and safe spaces. Our goal with Beehaw is to demonstrate and promote a healthier environment.

    Some thoughts on our philosophy:

    Operating our server costs money. If you donate, you should know that 100% of the costs will go towards server time, licensing costs, and artwork. In the future if we need to hire developers or other labor, it would be sourced through the Open Collective Foundation, and it would be transparent to the community before any changes were made.

    As a news aggregator and a social media outlet, with a focus on being a safe and accepting space, we strive to create a positive social impact. We will, also, help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.
