In-depth article by Linux Magazine on the Fediverse with interviews with Ivan and Mayel from @Bonfire and @cwebber
A good read to share
- About the Open Science Network, the archipielago set-up and the Jacobin.de case (all Bonfire)
- About the ActivityPub standard with federation between servers and client-server with the apps
- About living systems that are brought in by sensor networks about which the neighbours can have conversations.
- About solidarity networks. Such as @coopcloud – a community first and a set of
deployment tools and recipes second - of which Bonfire and also the #DemocraticTechFund are members
- Also about how #VentureCapital money typically results in shiny but extractive businesses that turn into an #enshittification process to return maximum profit to shareholders. Instead we can have networks of community centred ventures and cooperative platforms, such as @SocialCoop. And public funding channeled through e.g. @nlnet
