  1. Interesting perspectives and insights shared by folks who created “love matters” around how ads on female pleasure, female hygiene/health and similar things were either blocked or outright rejected on Meta platforms. #mozfest #SocialCensorship #DigitalAds

  2. Looking at the paths out of the current mess

    We need an effective way of communicating that all value on the #fedivers is cultural, the tech itself is a product of this #openweb culture. The #activertypub speck is an accident of this culture not being swamped become the #mainstreaming was not interested at the time

    We have an increasing number of funders pouring money down the drain in #fedivers tech, when the source of the value #openweb culture that created this new “commons” is swamped by the #mainstreaming agenda.

    This #fediforum thing is going to be a hardcore invisible clash of cultures, all the #fashernitas who stood back from the #ActivertyPub push for the last 5 years are now flooding in, as are refugees from the encryptions mess. The language might be #fedvers BUT most of the people will not be. Let’s try and create focus, small steps.

    #Mozfest Is on if you want to see posers, #fashernitas and general #NGO pointless. I did sign up but when the time came to log in I could not be bothered. I do use the browser, though.

    We do need to express contempt for what a lot of the assumptions and agenda (often unspoken) our #NGO and #fashernitas crew push. Yes, it’s crap and pointless, so please say this, in most cases the “emperor’s” are not wearing any clothes. Express yourself, it’s needed.

    The is going to be an increasing mix of #mainstreming people moving back to the #openweb we need much better tools and process to deal with the mess they bring with them as well as our own mess we have here. The is going to be a lot of prat’ish behaviour from both inside our #openweb movement and outside from the #dotcons we need a way to mediate this… as it’s obviously damage dressed up in #NGO clothing.

    The problem with this negative circle is that it is self reinforcing, the prats, don’t like being pointed at as prats, and in reaction they dig deeper into prat’ish behaver. This damage is not helpful, we need fresh thinking, what do we do when “our” people act as prats. Ideas please?

    The is a solution to this, the #OGB which mediates prat’ish behaver by democracy unite.openworlds.info/Open-Med

    Anyone finds anything #openweb useful I should catch up on?

  4. @CarbonWriter Yeah, I've long been impressed with #MozFest and the community around it. #ForwardThinking with a focus on #SocialGood. Glad you had a great first day. Sorry I missed your session.

  7. Some days ago the #mozfest ("#Mozilla Festival") happend.
    Part of it was the #MisinfoCon (Missinformation Conference)

    some thoughts:

    While it's important to tackle missinformation we must bare in mind the question "who will decide what is false/missinformation/true".
    Authorities usually have an interest in defining truth. With many goverments moving towards more authoritarianism even more.

    I haven't done much reseach in that field, but what I know is that companies involved in mass surveillance and military service have a "good" presence there.

    Some time ago I did a bit of reseach about one of such projets, that says wanting to tackle missinformation and on the same being involved in mass surveillance and military service.

    I haven't followed it latest process, so the writing is a bit outdated.
