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."

@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!

Christian, Wendy, kev, nanomonkey, Dmitri and me organised this event here over the last months and finally it is happening next week at the @internetarchive in SF!

The idea is to bring people together to reflect about the last years of building peer-to-peer software and formulate ideas for the future.

https://dwebseminar.org/

* DWeb Seminar, August 13 - 15: we've invited ten researchers and developers from different p2p projects to come, cook and live together, share learnings and formulate a publication
* DWeb Weekend, August 16 - 17: Public days full of roundtable discussions, workshops, presentations and demos

Come and join us if you can! For Sunday we still have free slots for your talks and workshops.

@dweb wasn't there a rule at #dweb camp last year that no one could hang a Palestinian flag? How do we resist that with tech?

Personally I think a more useful view to resist authoritarianism is: Tech Won't Save Us
