The need for “governance” came out of a practical problem, the #activitypub community is made up of “cats” you know the slogan “herding cats” we were doing seminars outreach to powerful EU Eurocrats on why they should be interested in #activertypub and interesting they really are interested.

Fluff/spiky debate and the respect for diversity of tactics – talking to the coop tech crew
I’ve changed the title of this thread as it seems to have drifted away from its original topic (and my apologies for the poor choice of original name). The changing of title is telling for what we are talking about here “Fluffy” vs “Spiky” is the perfect example of the problem. Fluff/spiky debate and the…
NFT – The whole thing is a scam
A. We have to stop our #fashionista falling for this #encryptionist crap NFTs are actually a terrible way to support artists. Most artists don’t break even on NFTs.

Q&A on outreaching the fluffy/spiky debate to the fluffys
You’re bringing in the idea of “fluffy” and “spiky”. And you think both have merit.

Misunderstanding – Out reaching the #OMN #openweb projects.
I start to understand the misunderstanding, blocking many of the people outreaching the #OMN. It’s a DIY project there is the assumption that people will see the need and fill in the missing bits.

Knight foundation and its impact on grassrots media and the #openweb
Dropped into the events for this https://knightcolumbia.org/events/reimagine-the-internet if you won’t an example of pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ down the drain the Knight foundation is it. This is normal, but by doing this they shaped the agender of the #openweb for the last 10 years, this is a problem, a BIG problem, they need…
