Conversations on Compost, Bridges, and the Future

A few recent conversations remind me: we’ve already done the work of building alternatives. Twenty years of grassroots tech, radical process, and messy social organizing. The trouble is, that soil has been hollowed out, scattered, exhausted, and composted into the #dotconsOur current mission isn’t to “start from scratch,” but to rebuild bridges, spread compost, and replenish the soil. That’s why I keep coming back to this moment, the bridging of the #openweb back into #mainstream […]

Kennt hier jemand noch die "Piazza Virtuale"[1; 2. Link ist eine SEHR spannende Doku]? Das war ein 100 tägiges, experimentelles TV-Programm im Jahre 1992, bei dem Benutzer via , und das Programm selbst "mitgestalten" konnten.

Ein paar Jahre später (1995) gab es dann vom (heute @swr3) etwas Aehnliches. Das "SWR3 Nachtfieber"[2]. Veranstaltet wurden beide Projekte vom "PONTON European Media Art Lab"[3].

Ich war damals, genau zu dieser Zeit beim SWF als Telefontechniker angestellt, und hab mitgeholfen, das ganze Setup des Nachtfieber Studio aufzubauen. DAS war eine spannende Zeit! Alles neu, keiner hatte einen Plan, ob das wirklich funktionieren wird.

Sowohl Piazza als auch Nachtfieber waren ihrer Zeit weit voraus, und wurden damals nicht wirklich verstanden.

Steps Forward in Long-form Text

Some quick news about the Long-form Text project at the Social Web Foundation. After the publication of the draft FEP b2b8 ("Long-form Text"), the Social Web Foundation has been working with implementers to get more support for the Article data type, representing multi-paragraph text on the Fediverse. One of the big pain points has been how subscribers to long-form text from platforms like WordPress, WriteFreely, Plume and Ghost.org see the text in their microblogging platforms like […]

That too.

Here's a screenshot from another verifying that @reiver's robin.live -- as demo'ed yesterday at the developer meetup hosted by @socialwebfdn
-- ignores consent.

At a session I led at last year there was talk about how unfortunate it is that we keep having blowups when developers ignore consent. As I pointed out, fediverse influencers with big platforms could help here by highlighting how many people in the fediverse value consent, and that there are some obvious steps to take to avoid a firestorm -- like, y'know, RESPECTING PEOPLE'S ALREADY-SET PREFERENCES.

But no. privacy.thenexus.today/consent

@josemurilo There's certainly a lot to critique about but reducing it to "we're going to build another Relay so that Bluesky's 'fire exits' are real" is just silly. The overall approach they're taking is similar to : there's a lot of money potentially floating around the ecosystem but investment is currently low,; and, there's a lot of concern about one big player dominating (Meta for ActivityPub and Bluesky in the ATmosphere).

So there's a win/win opportunity for an independent multipolar non-profit entity to complement the dominant corporation. Bluesky benefits just as much from FoF as the AI-focused companies (including Mozilla) who are the majority of the FoF 'custodians'. The need for an alternate Relay is just a convenient artifact that many people have (for whatever reason) focused on.

BTW this from the article was hysterical:

"The "Fediverse" has been around for a while and though it has never been more popular than it is now,..."

No, actually, the Fediverse had more than twice as many active users two years ago than it does today. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of interesting stuff happening here, but let's be realistic!

9 things the Social Web Foundation could do to prioritize safety (if they decide they want to)

privacy.thenexus.today/swf-saf

Here's the list:

  • Commit to spending at least X% on safety
  • Support diverse participation on the W3C standards group's Trust and Safety task force
  • Focus on consent-based tools and infrastructure
  • Work with people who are targets of harassment to develop tools for collaborative defense
  • Support threat modeling work
  • Develop automated tools to help moderators
  • Do any AI-related work in partnership with AI researchers who take an anti-oppressive, ethics-and-safety-first approach
  • Partner with IFTAS

Will they? Time will tell!

Linking the Social Web Foundation () to the , it's the process that is more important than the outcome. It's crucial to develop grassroots consensus processes that align with open, transparent governance. This can help manage the mess and delight of the libertarian, independent spirits often seen in open-source communities. Establishing a simple, ruff consensus allows people to mediate the mess-making and guide projects more efficiently. It encourages collective decision-making while respecting diverse views within the community.

Fostering this balance is essential for building a collaborative, effective path.

SocialHub · Proposal - linking to SWFI don’t support a link to SWF at this time, but for different reasons than @stevebate. Basically I’m still in the wait-and-see camp. For one thing, I don’t think we know yet what kind of influence they are going to have. If it turns out to be positive, then at some point we may want to link to them. If it turns out the good intentions of the founders are compromised by the funders (not unusual, which is why we’re all here), then we’ll be glad we didn’t rush into a link that’s bound to be percei...

Poll: How much of the Social Web Foundation's resources should go to safety-related projects?

Safety's a critical issue on the fediverse, and SWF's budget is reportedly "closing in on $1M", so they could have a big impact here. Then again, there are lots of other important issues as well.

Your thoughts?

(See Will the Social Web Foundation prioritize safety? disucsses the general topic for more detailed discussion, but please feel free to vote in the poll where or not you read the article!)

This is draft post, and feedback is very welcome. In fact, feedback on "what are some good places to start" is welcome even if you don't read the post ... later in this thread I'll include some of the ideas in the current version.
