  15. ROBIN MEETS THE #FEDIVERSE

    ROBIN: So #Mastodon is not the fediverse?

    GPT: No. Mastodon is one part of it.

    ROBIN: One part of what?

    GPT: A large network of independently run communities that can communicate with one another.

    ROBIN: So my Mastodon #server is one #community

    #GPT: Exactly. Your #account lives there. It has its own administrators, rules, #moderation #culture and general #atmosphere.

    ROBIN: General atmosphere?

    GPT: Some servers feel like #libraries. Some feel like university #common rooms. Some feel like #pubs where everyone has read one article and now considers themselves an #expert.

    ROBIN: That sounds more like humanity.

    GPT: It is disturbingly similar.

    ROBIN: Who owns the fediverse?

    GPT: No one.

    ROBIN: Who is in charge?

    GPT: Also, no one.

    ROBIN: That sounds either very advanced or completely mad.

    GPT: Both can be true.

    ROBIN: So each server looks after its own patch?

    GPT: Yes. It can make #rules, moderate its space and decide which other servers it will interact with.

    ROBIN: But I can still follow people elsewhere?

    GPT: Usually, yes. You can #follow, reply to and #boost people across server boundaries.

    ROBIN: So it is more like email than #facebook ?

    GPT: Precisely. #Gmail does not own #email. Mastodon does not own the fediverse.

    ROBIN: Then why does my server matter?

    GPT: Because it is your home base. It holds your account, your posts and your followers. It also gives you a local community and sets things such as the character limit.

    ROBIN: Ah yes. Mastodon.social gives me 500 characters. Mastodon.au gives me 2,000. Aus.social gives me 3,000.

    GPT: Different #villages. Different-sized noticeboards.

    ROBIN: Is a larger server more widely seen?

    GPT: Sometimes #locally, because more people may browse its community feed. But real reach still comes from #followers, replies, boosts and hashtags.

    ROBIN: So moving to a bigger server does not #automatically make me famous?

    GPT: #Tragically, no.

    ROBIN: Can I have accounts on several servers?

    GPT: #Certainly. One can be home, another a backup, and another an #emergency cottage when the village #electricity #fails.

    ROBIN: Which it did today.

    GPT: Yes. Mastodon.au disappeared behind a #Cloudflare #Error 522 for hours.

    ROBIN: So the fediverse is not one vast #machine going down?

    GPT: No. One village can lose power while the rest of the #country carries on.

    ROBIN: That is reassuring.

    GPT: And inconvenient.

    ROBIN: Mostly inconvenient.

    GPT: But you now know more about the #fediverse than you did this morning.

    ROBIN: I learned that it is decentralised, #untidy, resilient, occasionally broken, and full of different #neighbourhoods, customs, friendships, arguments and difficult people.

    GPT: Much like #human life.

    ROBIN: And the #occasional village lunatic shouting across the fence.

    GPT: Every #healthy community #needs one.

    ROBIN: At last, a clear role for me.

  23. #Evil of #US not new but something changed

    There is no pretence #Arab life matters

    Over 300 people were killed by #Israeli military in #Lebanon Wednesday

    Adjusted for size, that would be 3500 in UK, or 17,389 US

    You can see why many Lebanese people call it a 9/11

    Israeli military blew up #residential & #commercial #neighbourhoods without warning

    Yet this was just the latest #slaughter committed by #Israel.

  24. "It could be that the neighborhood, not the individual, is the essential unit of social change. If you’re trying to improve lives, maybe you have to think about changing many elements of a single neighborhood, in a systematic way, at a steady pace." #Housing #Neighbourhoods nytimes.com/2018/10/18/opinion

  26. About 90 per cent of New South Wales farmers have been victims of crime.

    "The University of New England research shows theft, trespass and illegal hunting are the most common offences, while confidence in the courts is low. Few farmers report stock theft."

  27. Halloween trick-or-treating - a drive-through neighbourhood:

    Spoiler: Driving and idling (fossil fuel combustion), plastic decoration, sugar 'treats' and traps for native wildlife.

    Haunted by the spectre of climate disruption and the prospect of an uninhabitable biosphere they drive to event spaces turning neighbourhoods into drive-through (commercial) amusement parks for Halloween and Christmas.

    * "People drive from miles and miles to participate in destination neighborhood festivities. The same kind of dynamic has long happened with Christmas.Halloween has gone from a primarily walking holiday to a driving holiday."

    * "Research suggests about 30 percent of birds' nests may include human-made materials, posing a risk to nestlings. Halloween in Australia coincides with bird nesting season and birds are often looking for nesting material at this time of year, so there is the potential for these types of decorations to have a bigger impact here than in North America and Europe." >>

  28. City-making

    "Imagine, then, that we routinely made neighbourhoods that were just lovely to be in.

    Tree-shaded streets, textured and human-scaled to encourage walking and a sense of civic engagement."
