This text is about “us” it dues not talk about “them” It’s good to keep this in mind that am likely talking about YOU. There is a large amount of pointlessness in the world, open up a space and pointlessness will flood in. While meaning mostly, its self is just noise that soon fades. In…
The is such a thing as society
“The is such a thing as society” we need to build our tools for this anti “common sense” statement. The advantage of “governance” of the #fediverse (which it needs if it is to become a part of our #openweb based society that is essential for social change/challenge in the era of #climatechaos) is that the…
Really good questions, let’s try and address some issues.
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. We had no voice, only “cats” with everyone…
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. Have been working with bridging this often hostile divide for more than 30 years in hundreds of campaigns on the ground and online. The best outcome you can hope for is “diversity of tactics/strategy” You’re also drawing attention to the…
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. The “missing bits” have a function, to be filled in otherwise we would be pushing clean non-messy #dotcons world view which…
We live in a world full of monsters dressed in fluffy clothes
Monsters, scratch our fluff crew, and they turn spiky, repression is a universal human problem to be mediated. The subject of the fluffy/spiky debate – respect for diversity and the desire for debate based on this respect is a core outcome. We need to build bridges. If you suffer from stress in this context, please…
On the wider subject of this thread, Identity politics and the agender it pushes
In the face of growing #climatechaos and our attention being trapped inside the #dotcons, I see most people as complete fantasists and see the worship of the #deathcult as their main motivation. In the next 5–10 years, I see a lot of BLOCKING and lots of blowing of smoke to cover this behaver. I live…
