    This is incredibly sad news. I knew of them through their work building Hachyderm, a Mastodon server. The transparency with which it was built gave me great confidence in the platform, and I have enjoyed my account there since late last year. Kris's Twitch streams working on the project were illuminating as well.

    Well wishes to those close to them in this difficult time.

    It's weird to say I felt a bit of a punch when I learned about her death yesterday, because I've never met her and only knew her through some posts, but she left that strong of an impression on me. Condolences to her loved ones.
