Given a "united commons" and "participative software development".
What is a Project?
An example. You start "Hello world" project, simplest possible. And then - because its a typescript project - you do npm install.
Now what is your Project?
From #FOSS perspective nothing much changed. It compiles and runs.
From #SOSS perspective you've just interwoven your project deep into a huge grassroots chaotic commons, and are exposed to the #sustainability risks of that decision.
#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:
The reason that Big Tech isn't all-in on decentralized technologies is not related to an inability to monetize this tech and keep their dominant position.
If #LinkedData refers to meaningful data, then we are not building a meaningful #fediverse.
You can be all #Meta on a #MetaVerse, and you can be all #people on a #peopleverse.
#SocialNetworking is literally how we live our lives and experience it with others.
Why then do we turn it into such a weird and warped concept online where at the end of our dev pipelines endless Twitters roll out?

Around 1975 Abdul Qadeer Khan, a Pakistani spy, managed to steal nuclear secrets from the highly secure uranium enrichment plant Urenco in the Netherlands. This led to nuclear proliferation and Pakistan having the nuclear bomb.
The layers of security at Urenco could not avoid this from happening.
Now..
Are we in #FOSS enriching uranium fully out in the open in how we develop the decentralized #SocialWeb? Or are we reasonably #secure?
Is it possible that while we are fiercely opposed to #AI and how this highly disruptive technology is just introduced everywhere in #society without a second thought (ignoring all the voices that advocate responsible use) ..
Is it possible that maybe with decentralized #SocialWeb technology with semantically meaningful #machine-readable services, we are creating the tech that'll bring AI up to our skin, into our very pores?
Is social web merely #technology?
