#Governance of the #Fediverse is kind of triggering me since I'm reading toots and publications of @Weizenbaum_Institut for a while now. Unfortunately, @cbase is too far outer space to join in person, but I'm really looking forward to see stage talks with @ErikUden, @andypiper and many more #activitypub supporters #videostream'd

❓ Wie und nach welchen Prinzipien kommen Entscheidungen zustande?

❕Entscheidungen werden so herbeigeführt, dass sich alle Beteiligten gesehen und gehört fühlen und ihre Wünsche und Befürchtungen einbezogen werden. Im Gegensatz zum Mehrheitsentscheid werden keine systematischen Gewinnerïnnen und Verliererïnnen erzeugt.

👉 Beim Systemischen Konsensieren werden Widerstände zu Entscheidungsoptionen abgefragt. Je weniger Widerstände, desto langfristiger die Akzeptanz. Einwände werden genutzt, um Vorschläge zu verbessern. Konsent statt Konsens ist hier das Motto.
👉 Oft nützt es, die Entscheidungsoptionen über Pro & Contra hinaus zu erweitern. Beim Quäker Kontinuum können Menschen sechs verschiedene Positionen zu einer Frage einnehmen: von voller Unterstützung bis zu totaler Ablehnung.
👉 Für Beschlüsse kann ein Verfallsdatum festgelegt werden.

#Keet & #Holepunch @holepunch_to teams- following up from yesterday:

Pragmatically, I'll still use your software (though it makes trusting proprietary modules feel even more sketchy tbh). Yours is probably the one #TechnoFascist project I'm aware of that actually has good code & UX. And it's self sovereign, so.

If your response goes further into a downward spiral of innocense & virtue instead of some amends, accountability and recovery, I'll just do what we're doing for #Holochain. Authoring politically assertive #governance processes around my collective's & partnership's use of their software, explicitly calling out the harm and creating guardrails to prevent any upstream contributions (intellectual, social or otherwise). And then we'll open source those docs, surface them everywhere, and make them easily adoptable & forkable.

If you are interested in #Sociocracy or #Peer #Governance, this next Saturday 22 will be the "5th Annual Intentional Communities Conference — Bringing Our Best Selves to the Whole" > https://www.sociocracyforall.org/sociocracy-in-intentional-communities-conference-2025/

Surely not the best part, but I will participate in a Advocate for Sociocracy in #IntentionalCommunities Circle open session and will share some thoughts (and dialog) about "Roots of Sociocracy: #ComplexSystems, relationships, #holons, #EmergentProperties and life in the #chaordic space".

@ncoca Welcome to the pavements/sidewalks of Malaysia! Malaysia's development overly focuses on roads, to the extent that they forget pedestrians have legs and lives too, and need to walk. Maybe the politicians are enjoying their wealthy life in moneyland while we are all in poverty, and we are blamed for our poverty.
