A lot of current #mainstreaming arguments that are treated as left and right are actually not. They are arguments between modernism and postmodernism. This is a mess that the postmodernists have pushed over the last 40 years. We need tools for composting this mess, shovels come to mind. But it’s hard to grasp a shovel…
Navigating Grassroots Evolution in Tech Communities: Challenges and Paths Forward
The landscape of technological evolution often traverses a spectrum between grassroots innovation and mainstream integration. Within this spectrum lies #Socialhub, a space that was born as a grassroots alternative—a bastion of the activertypub reboot’s integrity within its original framework. This trajectory from its inception in #activertypub delineates a distinctive approach in the technological realm. The…
Talking about #hashtags
We need to think of a serendipity view of how #hashtags work and how our coder kings implement them (#feudalism). Not saying this is a good aproch… i don’t know… but spelling hashtags “wrong” makes their use in categorization and sorting work differently. Might be worth thinking if this could add value or is purely…

They believed that technology should serve the needs of people, not just the interests of big corporations and governments. They called…
Nurturing community’s – tech is not going to do this
On the #fediverse, we need to work/think about the need to cross-link the subject instance. As, the idea of as instance as a community is lightly built into the code of mastodon. So individuals and groups need to push this into existence, then add issues to the #ygithub mastodon tracker to try and get this…
