@pospi @racchio fiatjaf’s politics aren’t great but I think they’re also less coherent and thought out than the coverage makes out. It definitely is problematic. But the reason I work on permissionless social protocols is I don’t want to be dependent on the politics of one person or company. I do think there is good reason to kick someone out of your server or group or community if they don’t follow your values. But I’ll use tech from people I disagree with.

@rabble @racchio Thanks for that (RE fiatjaf), I'd forgotten the name & I am aware this is the more problematic topic than taking money from Dorsey.

I think there's nuance to be had in using tech from people we disagree with. Personally, I'll *use* it, but only if I can do so whilst giving NOTHING back. And that can be quite hard, because it means restraining from things like bug reports when you bump up against rough edges.

It is a systemic problem that talent and expertise end up pooled around cliques of hateful people, who increasingly have disproportionate access to mentorship and expertise over time as they push diverse contributors away. I have seen that happen in basically every community in #DWeb, save the scant couple of under-funded projects prepared to assert a culture of inclusion and maintain strong boundaries around conduct.

More or less this truth- https://kolektiva.social/@jaredwhite@indieweb.social/115391398337433244

I've been trying to find a name or descriptor for people who I think are looking at "AI" broadly and soberly, with a genuinely objective perspective and information that's not captured by the big tech companies but also fluent in the technology behind it. ( @simon would be the exemplar here.) What would you call this cohort? Because I think it's sort of a community without a name, which limits its impact.

@dweb #DWeb, but that’s not specific enough.

I’d look at folks around http://mariafarrell.com/ and https://abebabirhane.com/

On September 18, I also posted "Facts Over Feelings: Stop Waiting. Start Building" on LinkedIn to be transparent about who are the pivotal folx I've met IRL at #FediCon2025 that are helping on- and offline for the co-creation of the kind of #DWeb #OpenWeb we like.

I close it with actionable steps and a framework
"Don't critique the vibe - create it. Show up consistently. Build what the community needs."

I trust one of these two women to run a social media site.

@fedilore wild. Folks really make their political allegiances known in whom they speak out to defend, and who's suffering they ignore. I met Jay briefly at #DWeb camp in 2019 and it is saddening to witness that like many of the "nice vibes only" cohort in that space, the mission has actually been about defending and promoting hateful people and views.

I mean we already knew that with #Bluesky being a Nazi bar and all, but speaking out directly in defense of a far-right activist seems a more pointed kind of choice.

What if a #TechMeetup was more than just tech? 1 of 2

#FediCollective #CoffeeChats is a #ThirdSpace i.e a place outside of home & work where you can connect with people and build community.

It's not just about what but who we're building with IRL! I'm committed to making these events welcoming and #accessible to all. Here's what makes our #FediverseClub the best kind of #DWeb gathering:

1. Community First: As an alcohol-free and family-friendly event, the focus is on clear-headed conversations and genuine connection. Feel free to bring your kids and pets along; this is a space where your whole self is welcome

2. Accessible to All: Events are designed to be economically affordable for everyone. Located near a Skytrain station with free parking, we've removed the barriers so anyone can join the conversation and contribute

3. Intentional Connection: The goal isn't just networking; it's to have intentional conversations with developers, designers, and thinkers who are all about building a better #OpenWeb

I went to the #dwebcampcascadia and it was beautiful! #dweb #cascadia #camp

An open field with some camping tents and a yellow school bus.

A few people are seated and listening to a woman talking on a stage.

A sunset with a darkened pine-cone forest at the bottom and some orange clouds splashed, taking most of the photo.

People around a table, singing, playing the guitar and keyboards; in the dark but with colorful lights around.

#FediCollective designs I made for inviting teens & young adults to my #BrewBuild days where they actively co-create the #OpenWeb (vs. passive consumption). BTW "banger " is GenZ slang for "impressive"

#Vancouver I'd love your help with online and IRL get-togethers where young people feel safe to build with us!
