You can see and comment on our proposal on GitHub discussions: github.com/alphagov/gov...

Please take 3 mins to feed back.

Really excited about doing a #Community themed UX talk at #UXScotland tomorrow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

🧑🏽‍💻 I’ll be writing it up after the event, so keep an eye out for post with the fully intended tongue-in-cheek title:

“With Great Community, Comes Great Responsibility”

Heading up to Edinburgh for #UXScotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 . Gimme a shout if you’re also about in Edinburgh this week!

Glad you enjoyed it Martin 🫡

It shows you clearly recognise some of this behaviour, implicitly if nothing else.

You’ve got good instincts!

So sorry to hear that. But good on you for taking action 💪

💥 New Blog Post 💥

The psychology of scaling community, featuring:

• What do 'diffusion of responsibility' and 'social loafing' mean?
• How do they impact team dynamics and communities?
• What can you do about them?

Looking forward to speaking to Content Club folks about considering compounding barriers & intersectionality when we think about accessibility.

Thank you @niacampbell.bsky.social @adrianortega.bsky.social @contentdesign.london for organising!

What’s up Bluesky, I’m starting to look for my next professional opportunity.

If you are looking for someone community, co-design or collaboration shaped, please get in touch 💬

We don’t have a dependency graph, but that might be a good thing for us to produce 👍

We hope it goes down well. It’s a bit of an experimental format.

Either way, we’ll learn from the first one and make the second one even better. I hope to make it a fixture of new releases.
