#loomio — Public Fediverse posts

@souverain J'ai utilisé Framavox pour une asso il y a un moment mais c'était compliqué de motiver les gens à aller dessus pour participer aux discussions et, votes même avec la possibilité d'être notifié par mail…
C'était il y a plusieurs années donc mes souvenirs sont un peu vagues. 😅

#Framavox #Loomio

#AskFedi I remember using a service that allows hosting #events and can generate .ics files. It allowed sending #rsvp using mastodon. But I can't remember the domain now. Can anyone #help ?

Update: Thanks to @smallcircles I found it, I was looking for https://gath.io/

Its pretty neat tool, especially if you want to share calendar events via channels other than email, like #xmpp.

These days I don't usually need it as #loomio can generate ics for time polls.

Back to promise and power of AP?
Sustainable #evolution, hmm, yes.
#Emergence, you say? Right, umm.. 🤷

#Fediverse-we-have vs. #ActivityPub, which is more powerful and #versatile ?

Lego Sets vs. Lego Blocks, which is more powerful and versatile?

View the video mentioned in the article about Emergent Complexity..

Can you influence and steer emergence and evolution? Some people like me, with Social experience design think so. Another person is Richard D. Bartlett known from #Loomio who also is behind #Microsolidarity, which I was reminded of the other day. Have a look for yourself..

Anyone keen to join a working group experimenting with a Hypermedia-Driven Architecture approach by applying it to an existing web app, Loomio, under the auspices of the Open App Ecosystem community?

@daz would you be willing to mentor such a group, given your excellent primer was my introduction to HDA?

There are interesting paradigm shifts possible today, which result in great opportunities to break the browser oligopoly, and SaaS + cloud vendor hegemony of Web 2.0 with its Rube Goldberg technology stack.

@strypey referred to one of them, in a post to the Open App Ecosystem community group on #Loomio: The #hypermedia #web.

Since my hobby (it doesn't earn income yet) involves elaborating #SX methodology as a Social experience designer, I thought it interesting to add my follow-up from that perspective..

Any Open App Ecosystem members who don't login to Loomio very often or allow it to send email notifications for new polls in the OAE group? I've started a sense check on the question of whether there's any interest in forming a subgroup to experiment with building a Hypermedia-Driven Architecture version of Loomio;

I'd love to know your honest opinions on this, whatever they might be.

#OAE #OpenAppEcosystem #Loomio

Seems Loomio.com no longer allows even public groups and discussions to be viewed by someone who isn't logged in (at least for me on LibreWolf /Fedora). Which means the public consultation on NZGOAL-SE;

https://www.loomio.org/g/NohQxyr9/nzgoal-software-extension-discussion-of-draft

... linked here;

https://www.data.govt.nz/toolkit/policies/nzgoal/nzgoal-se

Can't be viewed by any member of the public without a Loomio account, as it originally could be.

Is this due to a bug, or to commercially-motivated enshittification?

#Loomio #NZGOALSE

Loomio the collaborative decision making tool REALLY needs a mobile app.

Im in communities where some members dont even own a laptop/desktop and these folks arent just mobile first they are mobile only.

Also, NOT having a mobile app is causing exclusionary dynamics as people miss being involved; and then rightly so, push to move away from the tool.

I've made a *pretty crappy* pitch for this in the loomio github issues.

If you care about this also, you can read what I said and add your own thoughts here..

Dont know what loomio is?

“'Discussion' is clearer, more intuitive language, and makes it easier to explain how Loomio works without the awkwardness of the word 'thread'. For example, without this change, the previous paragraph would have read: Loomio works best when you start with a thread."

@robguthrie, 2025

I think these are good changes. I haven't been using Loomio as much since I started doing most of my online activity on mobile devices. Maybe it's time to get back into it.

#Loomio #UX

@Tutanota and here I was happily emailing people on #Thunderbird and making designs on #Penpot and #Inkscape to share via #XMPP, at which point I remembered to catch up on discussions on #Loomio, and got roped into drafting a manifesto on #Cryptpad, all while blissfully unaware of the chaos going on until I opened #Newsflash and read about it all on the #RSS feeds that I synchronise via #NextCloud, at which point I decided to head over to talk about it with the world thanks to #ActivityPub!

Our #Inktober for Day 3 has a very simple message from our #XMPP project: community rules! 👑️

Thanks to the #Loomio decision-making platform for enabling us to manage community discussions, votes, and polls, and the Free Software Community of India (#FSCI) for hosting the instance #Codema that we use for it 🗳️

Another service we maintain - https://codema.in needs to renew its domain as well. Anyone likes to sponsor the domain rewal cost of 800 INR ?

codema.in is an instance of loomio collaborative decision making tool used by @fsci , @prav , @piratesin #debphoshfund etc and open for other communities to join. It comes with many kinds of polls integrated into a forum like interface.

#FreeSoftware #democracy #collaboration #codema #loomio

@admin Connaissez-vous une instance #Mastodon gérée par des membres francophones ou des personnes localisées en France, dont le financement et la gouvernance s'inspirent de celle de "social.coop" (https://social.coop/ #SocialCoop) ?

Autrement dit, une instance financée par ses utilisateurs, avec un financement transparent via #OpenCollective et des décisions prises collectivement sur #Loomio

@ntnsndr Do you know a Mastodon #instance managed by #French members whose financing and governance are inspired by that of “social.coop” (#SocialCoop) ?

In other words, an instance funded by its users, with transparent financing via #OpenCollective and decisions taken collectively on #Loomio

@GerryT @praveen It's a #Loomio instance https://github.com/loomio/loomio

My #coop has a really hard time meeting in person, or even online, because people's schedules are so crowded. Has anyone used #Loomio in similar circumstance? How has it gone?

“Fostering deliberation would require platforms that encourage long-term and in-depth interaction with arguments and less 'communicative plenty'“

Fair comment. I do find that conversations on Discourse forums or Loomio groups are more likely to go deep, and lead to covergent outcomes, then even the most constructive chats here. I haven't used Pol.is, but I've read impressive things about its by #g0v for vTaiwan.

#Discourse #Loomio #deliberation #vTaiwan

The discussion on limiting threads.net has now spawned a discussion about limiting #Loomio threads.

I am not making this up!

I am however being very misleading in my presentation 😉

https://www.loomio.com/d/TvlY4wPJ/discussion-appropriate-length-for-loomio-threads

Really cool to have close to 100 people already voting on the #SocialCoop instance policy vis-a-vis Threads. We use #Loomio for these kinds of decisions. There's always room for improvement, but I'm just glad we have participatory processes for policies that affect all users of the server.

@silentashes
thanks for sharing your feedback!
I think we are on the same page. While our instance is in our bootstrapping phase, we chose discord for backend communication because some of us were familiar with setting up a community server and it was easy to manage things there while we figured out what would be our within-instance communication strategy after our processes (governance, rules, CoC) were fairly established.

We currently self-host our decision making system #loomio (https://www.loomio.com/) which is #FLOSS under #AGPL license (https://github.com/loomio/loomio)

We have been discussing how to avoid having to use too many platforms (and having to create different accounts for each) to cooperatively govern the instance because those can become bottlenecks for instance-level participation in important discussions. We are discussing a way to self-host our own forum #lemmy (relevant thread: https://neuromatch.social/@manisha/110641946898243726) but we are volunteers and so our progress has been according to our limited bandwidths (we are trying to get funding though, so pointers to funding sources would be appreciated -- other than the crowd-sourcing ones like OpenCollective, Patreon, etc, we are aware that several #MastoAdmin use that). And how fast we make progress also depends on how much support we can get from other volunteers from our #neuromatchstodon instance to help out with this stuff.

We are slowly but surely working towards using open-source tools and self-hosting and making it easier for instance members to participate in discussions (which is why we let them know to reply to our OP here if they don't want to go to discord).

We currently run a fork of #glitch which allows local-only posts. I had tested that but there was a tiny bug there (e.g. https://neuromatch.social/@manisha/109753892418948128) that I haven't had the time to look into. But that's another option worth considering for instance-only discussions with caveats like this -> replies to local-only posts can become public and then the thread may seem weird for those who can't see the OP.

Given the cooperative structure that we are establishing, we will likely not move to #DiscourseSoftware if we can't have all of our instance member switch there easily (but I don't know the details fully so this is just going off of what you mentioned)

Thank you for pointing us to #Mobilizon. Have you tried it or know someone who has? I'd love to hear how the experience has been there, especially if it uses #ActivityPub

sorry for this #LongPost :)

For lack of an obvious means to automate it with #Loomio, I decided to ask people to start comments with "Block" in case they wish to block, and if that happens, we calculate the results manually.
