“.....Unlike the apartment complex of Big Tech, the Fediverse is a neighborhood of houses with different rules,” he said. “It’s built on open protocols. People there talk about commons, about collective responsibility for the infrastructure.”

The emotional tone is different too: not cynicism, but care. “There is a shared ethic of attentiveness, interdependence, and persistence in disagreement. That’s what sustains collective well-being.......”

Today IO+ published part 3 of a 3-part series from the talk “Who Formats Our Futures?” Rianne Riemens and I gave.

The article discusses how I bridge my PhD research with political work for Volt. I argue that we need:

🧠 algorithmic transparency + an algorithm register
🌐 open standards/open source with space for the fediverse & data commons
🏛 public governance over private design

Steering Committee of the Federated Video Co-op Initiative has published its Founding Framework—a working draft that defines our purpose, mission, vision, and values.

It lays the groundwork for a sustainable, community-owned alternative to corporate video platforms—one that empowers creators, respects audiences, and keeps the infrastructure of online video in the hands of the people who use it.

Was reading one of my favorite articles again and then discovered, again, that @rysiek wrote it! I'm the worst at remembering which Fedi people wrote my favorite thing, so it's always a happy surprise when I look them up and then it all clicks again! Ah yes, I remember this Fedi handle wrote this thing, but enjoy anyway! https://rys.io/en/177.html #Fediverse #Mastodon

Building a Mastodon app?
https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK has been designed to handle the quirks of the many different servers across the fediverse. It’s been growing fast to support more APIs and edge cases, so you can focus on building your app instead. Also mirrored on https://codeberg.org/TootSDK/TootSDK 🚀

Maybe a better approach would be a way for a Fediverse server to be able to nominate and mark itself as as “Shared Blocklist” source, then host discussion of moderation decisions, and share its current net Blocklist. It would need a TBD simple and efficient way for each Shared Blocklist server to periodically accept or reject proposed changes from Shared Blocklist servers *it* references…

@mike @mekkaokereke @fleeky @rapscalorie @me

Another approach would be to publish and manage each Communal Blocklist that aims to gain a wide following as a GitHub-like project, with discussion, proposals, and deliberative approval of small — or large — batches of blocklist changes. This would make it possible for a blocklist to maintain a public reputation for fairness, prompt action, and topic focus. Change volume would likely be a challenge…

Blocklists are good, actually. Blocklists are the only thing that made Twitter usable back in the day, and if we want the #fediverse to be a usable space we damn well better support blocklists, both technologically and culturally. https://polychrom.ing/@are0h/statuses/01K8GQ4ASAT6ZT586X1S5PJ0N9

Slashdot-style distributed content moderation / Karma might also be applied to blocklist arbitration:

Hi! So I migrated from my old account @autumn_64@metapixl.com, and maybe I should do my #introduction again.



I'm a CS Engineering student from México, and I'm trans. I mostly do FOSS activism in Spanish on the Internet, but I also sometimes post stuff in Esperanto, I host a few libre services (for instance, I currently host SearXNG and Redlib) and I'm also an indie musician. Everything I do can be accessed from my website — link on my profile!



I wish to use Instagram less, so I intend to use this account to post selfies and the occasional drawings I make.



I've been using the Fediverse for 2 years though — I'm not that new lol ~
