New #Disintermedia blog post, using the metaphor of a cafe to tease out different aspects for running a platform cooperative using Free Code software;
https://disintermedia.net.nz/from-competing-digital-cages-to-cooperative/
Well, another recycled one really, this one a couple of times now. It was originally published on the archived CoActivate version of the Disintermedia blog, then reposted on the Bridge Seat Co-op. It's the final repost in a series of 5 posts related to Bridge Seat (see links).

First new #Disintermedia blog post for 2026!
https://disintermedia.net.nz/in-defence-of-servers/
Well ... kind of new. This is the first of 3 posts I wrote for the Bridge Seat co-op blog, which I'm reposting so I can stop sharing links to SS.
This one is about why geeks need to stop questing for the Holy Grail of pure P2P networks, and embrace a vision of servers as community-scale infrastructure, run by and for the people using them.
A vision of server admin of the people, for the people, by the people.

If anyone is wondering why they're getting a bunch of notifications about posts featuring #Disintermedia blog pieces, I just edited them to replace the SS links with links to my Ghost instance at disintermedia.net.nz.
#HatTip to @lightweight for providing hosting and a huge amount of handholding to help me get this off the ground.

If you'd like to follow the #Disintermedia blog from your fediverse account, I just set up an actor for my blog that you can follow from both the fediverse and the ATmosphere;
I'm hosting the blog on Ghost, which I thought was federated out-of-the-box. But it turns out I need a separate ActivityPub module to plug my Ghost instance into. As a stopgap, I can use BridgyFed for this.
#HatTip to the #BridgyFed team at @anewsocial for making this possible.

New #Disintermedia blog post, on the way that online tools that are superficially similar can be based on very different political-economic models, with very different social outcomes;
https://disintermedia.net.nz/crowdsourcing-or-outsourcing-who-benefits/
This is a repost of a piece I wrote a decade ago. At the time this was a fairly edgy analysis, and I'm quite proud of how it's held up.

New #Disintermedia blog post!
After months of inactivity, I've decided to declare the Bridge Seat project a success and close up shop. Thanks to everyone who backed the vision and tried to help us realise it. Honourable mentions in the blog post;
https://disintermedia.net.nz/a-bridge-too-far/
The way I worded this announcement might be a bit confusing. If I’m declaring it a success, why am I closing up shop? I explain this at some length in the blog post.

@internetarchive is there a way I can get a full copy of data from the WayBack Machine? I'd like the most recent version of the Disintermedia project at;
This was my virtual office, until the site went down unexpectedly and never came back.

If anyone is trying to look at blog.disintermedia.net.nz tonight, you might stumble into a construction site. All going well, it will all be tidied up and back to BAU by tomorrow morning (Aotearoa time).
Details for the curious:
We're tweaking the DNS. Mainly to deprecate the URL redirection at the domain registrar, and point disintermedia.net.nz at the About page of Ghost. Also to make the base domain name the root of the HTTPS certs, rather than the blog subdomain.

I still need to finish hanging the curtains and arranging the furniture in the new space, but the #Disintermedia migration from SS to Ghost is complete!
Here's the first blog post I can promote using the Disintermedia domain name, telling the story of why and how I finally made the move;

Finally, a bit of blatant self-promotion;
I'm now in the process of moving the #Disintermedia blog from SS to Ghost (watch this space!). So as soon as I carve out time to finish the migration and hang the curtains, Disintermedia will be published from a community-hosted instance, right here in Aotearoa.
Thanks to @lightweight for supplying a test server and walking me through a Ghost set-up, and to Prodigi.nz for agreeing to sponsor some dogfooding services under disintermedia.net.nz.
