👁️ #attention fedizens

Those of you who still have an account on #linkedin: We started a neat little 🫂 #outreach campaign as #SX experiment.

In the coming year we hope to organize with participants from the #fediverse and help from supportive institutions, such as @nlnet @sovtechfund and @ngi to organize large #GrassrootsCampaigns that attact people from exploitative platforms to the #ActivityPub fedi.

You can help testdrive and reinforce this 🔮 #opportunity challenge.

#smallishuge #wishlist #smallest #happynewyear #socialexperiencedesign #nutshell #delightful #humanity #activitypub #grassrootsstandard #peopleverse #socialcg #socialhub #future #sociosphere… | Social coding commons

Following Arnold Schrijver's example we too will provide our #smallishuge #wishlist for whom we want to meet with in #2026. Our movement has undergone recent chaordic reorganization, and it would be most appropriate to reflect that in our message. So we'll formulate our #smallest wishlist for the #HappyNewYear along the following 3 hedonic drivers: 1. think - reflect on goals and objectives, so that you'll act accordingly. 2. act - find the people you need to collaborate with for proper solutions. 3. feel - imagine solutions where you want to be, that satisfy your needs. Simply put: "Think before you act, so you end up where you want to feel." This helps put you in play. That is #SocialExperienceDesign in a #Nutshell. Here then is our #delightful list: 1. We would like to dearly thank NLnet foundation and especially Michiel Leenaers, the strategical thinker who tirelessly works to help NGI - The Next Generation Internet become available for #Humanity. We hope to meet you soon! 2. Secondly we would live to convey our gratitude and thanks for all those people in the #ActivityPub developer ecosystem, who help this #GrassrootsStandard protocol evolve, and who evolve a #peopleverse. In particular our hearts go out to W3C #SocialCG and the affiliated #SocialHub community hosted by our friends at @paviliontech. Or 2nd pick is Angus McLeod, a great person who acted when needed. 3. Finally we'll look back at the past and try to connect to the #future. One of our members long ago met with someone beautiful, who as no other knows our #sociosphere around us. Our member lured them with what #fediverse had to offer and still does offers to this day: merely the #technosphere. There was no #connection to the #SocialImpact movements on the ground in #Amsterdam. Merlijn Twaalfhoven, on behalf of our member Arnold, we apologize to you, we'll hope we get a 🍒 second chance from you. Our organization exists to fill the enormous gap, where #humanity needs progess and our #tech seems hellbent to holding us back! Merlijn we focus the next year, on bringing #SocioCultural #innovation to the social web. If time, opportunity, and support allows us. I now pass on the 🔮 #wishlist opportunity challenge to the fine folks at the NLnet foundation. Do you dare to look ahead for our linked-in #collective and formulate 3 wishes for fine ♻️ #commons #connectors we should focus our 💗 #attention on in #2026 ?

@carmenlisandrette

I started https://community.humanetech.com doing tons of channel #outreach, and know exactly how you feel. I have a strong feeling that my #advocacy for a better world, still sees me algorithm-suppressed on linkedin today, for example.

We need to be wary of falling into a 'growth is good' mentality, which can ossify into a 'growth by any means necessary' approach. To me this is the fundamental ideological driver, lurking beneath the various political-economic factors @pluralistic identifies as the causes of enshittification on the platforms.

That said, I do agree with @deadsuperhero on the larger point he's making here. #Onboarding and #UX do need a dedicated pan-fediverse focus, like we have with IFTAS on Trust & Safety.

"I think one of the big barriers that a lot of organisations [have] - even we have at the @newsmast Foundation [and] we have fulltime employees ... - it's spreading yourself across the platforms, and maintaining the heavy [publishing] schedule you need to actually be seen on some of them. It's so much work, and for individual projects, I can understand why they can't do that."
