a great article by @thisismissem@hachyderm.io on going beyond binary approach to federation...
" > However, we've been presented with a false dichotomy here: we don't need to operate in a world where we either allow everything until blocked, or block everything until we allow it. There are other ways that we can look at federation management. Some of these include Consent Based Federation, where a moderator or administrator has to review and approve a server before accepting federation (or denying it), or models that resemble a firewall on a computer or server: you'd don't just have to accept or deny federation, but you can also apply filters to the federation between your server and another."

Hi everyone

We're a new tech co-op that aims to support people working for social good with compassionate and caring tech support. No more feeling alone, no more getting stuck. That thing that is a total showstopper for you, may be an easy fix for us. We’ll be there for you.

We're currently mostly one person @kawaiipunk who is a founder member of @autonomic (and friends) but we're looking to expand.

Resisting the Monoculture of the Mind, Donna Haraway in conversation with Laura Flanders

On Saturday May 9th in Rome, as part of the Nina Festival, we're hosting a workshop to think with Bonfire, exploring and co-designing federated digital spaces for caring for our communities.
Together with @reclaimthetech@mastodon.uno, Zero81, Scift Lab and more.
📍 Millepiani, Via Odero 13, 3pm
If you're in (or near) Rome, come join us!

we draw on design workshops to sketch out a vision of trust bubbles, coalition-building, and shared vocabularies. what really excites me is that the ecosystem participants envisioned was quite coherent - we're actually now developing some ideas for tools 🧰🔧 + resources 📝 in partnership with @Bonfire

in this paper in particular, we highlight tensions around autonomy and labor + identify three principles of design (modularity, polycentricity, forkability) that are guiding our ongoing efforts!

Had guests this morning ....

At #AtmosphereConf today, I'll be talking about our work at @anew.social@bsky.brid.gy building Bridgy, breaking down walls, and centering people, not platforms. Hope to see you at Great Hall South @ 4pm 🌐

Building Bridgy, Not Walls

Oggi prima giornata di Aurora tutta sola al Maneggio, anche primo vero giorno di primavera 🌱

Mentre tornavamo a casa assieme, abbiamo messo "Colori" di Piotta e Remo Remotti, o come lo chiama rory, quello scemotto di remo remotti... momenti preziosissimi

We just released Bonfire 1.0.2, an update focused on giving you a more stable and reliable experience.

We're also heads-down working with several communities who are setting up their own Bonfire servers.

Plus updates on end to end encryption and federated groups.

More details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

Finally, LAUTI has it's own fediverse account! 👋 Up until now, we used @klasse_methode@chaos.social to post about LAUTI, but we think it deserves it's own account. And we hope you think so too. 😀

We're glad that our friends from @Bonfire provided us with an account on their server. And it makes total sense, as we work closely with them on different projects, one of them being the tight integration of LAUTI events into Bonfire.

For all who don't know LAUTI yet: LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar provides communities with a sovereign platform to share their events. Fediverse integration is in the making. For more check lauti.org

Help spread the word if you like. 🤝

Here's these posts in blog article form: https://writings.thisismissem.social/how-standards-are-made/

I've been increasingly concerned about the corporate monopoly over frontier LLMs. While many ethically-minded people choose to boycott these models, I believe passive resistance alone cannot break the structural grip of big tech. To truly “liberate” these technologies and turn them into public goods, we need to look beyond moral high grounds and engage with the material basis of AI—specifically compute, data, and the relations of production.

I've written two posts exploring this through the lens of historical materialism. The first piece analyzes why current “open source” definitions struggle with LLMs, and the second discusses what it means to “act materialistically” in our imperfect world. My goal is to suggest a path forward that moves from mere boycotting to a more proactive, structural socialization of AI infrastructure.

If you've been feeling uneasy about the AI landscape but aren't sure if boycotting is the final answer, I'd love for you to give these a read:

• Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them
• Acting materialistically in an imperfect world: LLMs as means of production and social relations
