There's a discussion going on about whether the Fediverse should set up a governance structure to decide its future
I think that the Fediverse should be governed as a co-operative ! I don't think it makes sense to govern a decentralised network with a centralised hierarchy ?

We made a game! Over the weekend I participated in the Global Game Jam and we made a chess-like arcade game where your pieces move semi-automatically and your goal is to protect an unpredictable king
I think that the lack of peer governance in the Fediverse is a vulnerability for self-serving interests and for "market poisoning" or enclosure
I pinned a toot that's important to me. It links to a thread about governance in the Fediverse (https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/what-would-a-fediverse-governance-body-look-like/1497/22). To protect a commons like the Fediverse, it's paramount that governance is completed by the community on a direct basis. This is not the same thing as *no* governance. We have to self-organise!
There is an open letter calling for the resignation of Eugen Rochko (Gargron) from Mastodon development: https://seedy.xyz/posts/0005-open-letter/
The letter mentions some technical disagreements and the manner in which they've been handled, but most concerningly to me efforts to make Mastodon "marketable" to venture capitalists which may amount to nothing short of the enclosure of our common space
in the concept of Development:
“The lead runners show the way; they are at the forefront of social evolution, indicating a common destination even for countries which had highly diverse trajectories in the past. Many different histories merge into one ‘master history’ ... the imagined time is linear, only allowing for progressing or regressing” (Wolfgang Sachs)
And yet we know the destination of this 'master history' already! This is an oppressive pretension and it is poison!
My co-op @autonomic is hosting a #peertube instance for our client and we're mirroring the Sonic Liberation Front stream.

We have an ongoing discussion about community empowerment and @activitypub plus #FediverseFutures at the #SocialHub community.
https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/organizing-for-socialhub-community-empowerment/1529
We want to be firmly on the path towards #SocialMediaReimagined
Do you help with that?
Boosts appreciated :)
An AI created a 'new' Nirvana song and humans performed it. I think it's pretty good
