Not really. The space doesn't have any opinions on anything. The space is
its members and will inherit the opinions of its members. In order to make
this a more representative platform, tweeting will soon be opened up to all
members via hackr.

Usernames will be prefixed, or optionally twitter handles, to all tweets.

I do not. The very act of sharing that information is, in the same way the
existence of the space is, a political statement.
