The #fedivers was booted up on grassroot #openweb passion and crowed funding, it was sustained in the early growth by crowed funding and expanded (in an often not helpful way) by #geekproblem passion. Over the last 2 years we have seen this shift sharply to “institutional” funding, some of this has been behind the seanes…
lets flot a look at curuption in the #EU funding DRAFT
Think this is too strong a stick to wave around now, but it might be needed down the line. Let’s look at ideas for rooting out/mediating the corruption in the #EU Some examples from a resent #EU #NGI meeting https://www.ngi.eu/event/next-generation-internet-ngi-next-steps/?instance_id=573 you can document the same behaver at most meetings. Example, a horizontal public BBB video…
This view is not arrogance, I should know, having worked at the heart of this mess for 30 years.
With the growing influx of #EU funding into the #openweb we will see an increase in #techchurn due to the #geekproblem being feed by #mainstreaming #stupidindividualism of most of the #fashernista who can jump through the bureaucracy gatekeeper hoops. Hoping for a balance of good Vs damage, though the shear blinded arrogance of the vertical…
Hope is a swift flow and the strong current that pushes change/challenge
Talking to the #EU crew Hope is a swift left wing flow and the strong current that pushes change/challenge. Simple truth telling is a deep upwelling, the spring that feeds this fresh flow. We need to nurture truth and hope in every part of our society, both our tribalism and bureaucracy are part of this…
Influx of EU funding into the Fediverse
#Openweb – all together push through, the HARD block crumbles. Getting a good outcome is hard… feeling this influx of EU funding is going to do damage and little good to the #Fediverse health if it keeps funding as its current agenda. Though the Fediverse is drifting from its own lifestyle mess… Let’s try and…
Social media is a drug, we need to stop the self/movement harm now #OMN
Facebook is nothing to do with anarchy, it was set up to sell people’s attention to advertisers, so it’s actually about social control as are all #dotcons #failbook algorithms are defined to create divisions and arguments, so best not to talk about core activist things on here. Just give the clear, simple outreach messages…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Talking to the burocractic coop crew
A. I find it interesting, and revealing, that nobody here actually talked about what the thried was about Online governance – openwebgovernancebody – Gitea: Open Media Network 1 If you can look outside your world view… We are doing a funding proposal to do the simple well tested project/workflow (which we know dues not scale)…
Some questions answered on fediverse “governance”
An important word that needs some thought is “permissionless” The body is made up of three different, balanced groups: Stakeholders – the people who do the work, who run/mod the fediverse Users – the people who use the tools/services, who use the fediverse The Affiliate Stakeholders – the people who commit time to support the…
