  1. @laurenshof The framing "sovereignty asks who controls the infrastructure, community asks what people build inside it" maps onto the AI Governance track too. Article 4 — "A Smaller Room Than You Think" — asks that authority question for AI specifically. NLnet Fediversity-funded work from the same cohort.

  2. An amazing demonstration for International Women’s Day took place in Berlin yesterday, with an estimated 30,000 attendees, most of whom were women.

    Later, when I searched the Fediverse for posts about the demonstration, I could only find three profiles other than my own.

    This made me wonder about the discrepancy between what happens in the streets and what is reflected on social media. Social media can be a powerful space for political expression, dialogue, and connection. However, it requires a critical mass of users.

    Some time ago, I ran a small poll asking women if patriarchal dynamics and male behavior on Mastodon, which is still largely dominated by white men, make participation harder.

    Out of 169 responses, about 59% said yes (23% totally agree and 36% partially agree). Just 20% totally disagree. [1]

    Even though that poll is far from representative, I couldn't forget the result when I noticed how little discussion there was here about the 30,000-person feminist demonstration in Berlin.

    For the Fediverse to be a viable alternative to mainstream platforms, it must reflect the diversity and energy of offline movements. In my opinion, suggesting that "normies" should remain on Bluesky is not the way to go.

  7. Tomorrow, I think I should mostly share and not post. Does anyone have recommendations for good feminist people I could follow?

    After I questioned [1] this topic in a space dominated by white men from the global north, I can mention some nice people that joined the discussion:

  12. I didn't expect my question to the women of the Fediverse to generate such interesting responses. I discovered some interesting feminist profiles that I began following and read some thoughtful opinions, mainly from women.

    However, I did expect that, in a male-dominated environment, white men from wealthy countries would display their machismo.

  17. In a recent comparison of engagement around a Leave.X campaign post,[1] someone pointed out that a female journalist who is active in the feminist movement and critical of Big Tech had a very different experience than others.

    The Mastodon post was shared twice, while the Bluesky version was shared over 200 times and received significantly more interactions. This raises questions about tech-savvy spaces like Mastodon and how they reflect broader societal issues.

    For women on Mastodon:

    Do you feel that the patriarchal dynamics and male behavior in this space, which is still largely dominated by white men, make it harder for women to participate?

    We'll meet Thursday the 26th at the ProcoliX office in Dordrecht (near Rotterdam) and have two speakers:

    * @kiara will talk about the @fediversity project
    * @aequitas will talk about how Nix is used in the @basisbeveiliging project

    After that there will be plenty of time to socialize with other Nix folks.
