> Using an #IndieWeb approach i.e. #Selfhost, there's an intrinsic guarantee that a publisher has put at least some effort and resources to make their materials public.

> This ensures that the published materials have certain 🫶 #authenticity and inherent amount of 💎 #quality. Publishing them "the indie way" functions as a kind of proof of work: not a guarantee of #excellence but evidence that something 💗 #meaningful was at stake in producing and sharing it.

Yo!

I'm looking for my next thing.

I'm a backend dev (primarily PHP with 15+ years professional experience), conference speaker, and a bit of a nerd. I've worked in #Fintech, #CyberSecurity with SANS Institute, and most recently #TrustAndSafety and #Authenticity with Bumble at scale.

I'm interested in something remote, I'm UK based. Engineering or engineering-coordination type jobs!

If you know of anything, hit me up!

Hi all, Crissy here, your resident romantic goth. I love coffee, cats, and connecting both IRL and online.

This year, my world has been cracked open by #grief from two significant deaths, on top of healing from a traumatic breakup last year.

I've come to realize that darkness isn't bad; it's often where profound truths and beauty reside. It's a space for introspection, growth, and finding a light within yourself that you never knew was there.

I'm an artist and #creative at heart. This desire for genuine connection and growth is why I founded #FediCollective --> a space where developers and creatives can find authentic community.

My core belief is People > Protocols > Platforms which is why I'm passionate about building on the #OpenWeb and actively exploring initiatives like the #PeerTube co-op, aiming for a #decentralized future where our humanity comes first.

If you're seeking insightful perspectives, a bit of spooky-cute charm, or value #authenticity over pretense, let's connect.

A thoughtful set of reflections, thank you. You urge us (and yourself) to accept that we live in an era of impurity, and to look out for the good strands in the work of those who submit to the evils of genAI.

I will try to learn from your reflections. Not sure whether I can accept those flirtations with the genAI devil. For me the key word is not Purity but Authenticity. Personal authenticity, human agency, personhood --- these are under unprecedented attack and people seem to enjoy it and celebrate it. But you are right, each of us is one big mess of contradictions and I must remain open to those around me.

I have always been a follower of Martin Buber's contradistinction of "I and Thou" vs "It and He". First and second person, not third and third person. Those who understood this distinction have always been in a minority, so perhaps the current moral catastrophy is just part of an ongoing forever-catastrophy!
