Stories That Matter

We’re not just working on code. We're writing narrative.

In the outreach story Stalls and Code, #dat saves the day when DNS takedowns start happening.

In Oxford: Going With the Flow, we see #OGB and #OMN forming the backbone of an alternative society during #climatechaos.

These stories aren’t fantasies—they're roadmaps for resilience. They're how we reach beyond the technical bubble to bring others into the fold.

... in peer to peer its different. There is no main or any instance to choose. you run it on your machine just like everyone else and connect directly... just like anyone else.

no DNS to be censored. no big instqnces to bribe or take over... its literally unsinkable without shutting down the entire internet or boiling the ocean... and that will cause mich bigger problems and even that wont kill it entirely, because you can use bluetooth phone to phone or local wifi connections

@serapath in the story #dat saves the day, when the DNS takedowns happen. It's about making the tech social meaningful, at the moment it's negatively irrelevant to the majority, and not important to the minority. If we can't change this, nothing works #KISS
@hamishcampbell
... if you have skilled professionals who could help built ecosystems for and with the people to change the game, its best to convince them that these systems need to be encrypted, anonymous, seceret, etc... ...of course to protect from eveil surveillande capitalists.... ...but by doing or following that narrative those systems get rendered impotent to cause change at massive scales, because that would require openness so others can learn and join... and they cant if closed

Real world tackling the #geekproblem

DRAFT

With rebooting the #openweb we run headfirst into the #geekproblem, a recurring pattern where: Technically brilliant people build powerful tools …but those tools remain socially unusable …or solve only geek problems, not the needs of actual communities. It’s not malice, often it’s idealism, but it creates a dead-end culture of endless prototypes, abandoned standards, and empty tech demos. Meanwhile, the real-world crisis deepens.The work we need is bridges building, let’s […]

what if instead of always-on feeds, we had digital gardens?
what if media responded to weather, to light, to rest?
what if the internet could nap?

solarsocial is another seed. a theoretical framework.
it’s not just for disruption. it’s for re-rooting.
