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!

Appena presi 2 biglietti per i Casino Royale il 28 Maggio al Monk (Roma) - Sempre più vicino Reloaded Tour, un album che ascolto ininterrottamente da buoni 20 anni...

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

@deadsuperhero@spark.box464.social not, we currently display events from gancio, mobilizon etc and have a custom feed for events that you can include in your navbar - but you cannot create events on bonfire yet.

We are working with @klasse_methode@chaos.social to federate Lauti, their community calendar...
