  1. A keen observation from Laurens, and the #OpenSocialWeb needs both of these:

    "If you read that statement with the fediverse and the atmosphere in mind, this is almost a diagram of the two ways the project can fail. Subsidiarity without solidarity is fragmentation: a thousand instances each guarding their own place, with no shared obligation or collaboration, with no place to maintain the commons that is the network itself.

  6. TIL I’m ambidextrous! I needed to slice potatoes for dinner and used my left hand for that.

    I usually do things with my right because I’m right handed but today my wrist was like “nah, fam.”

    Before slicing potatoes, i was handwriting the new mini posters for PurrEssence: Cozy Chats (formerly FediCollective)

  11. RE: indieweb.social/@tchambers/116

    Indeed this presentation is making some excellent points especially “The era of a single feed for billions is ending…”

    The era of tens of thousands of high trust micro communities all federated via standards like activity pub is dawning…

    and infrastructure like Commonshub is designed to help that transition occur faster.

  12. This is a recent talk that captures the main goal of why we are developing Commonshub. The world needs and wants a healthy alternative to toxic centralized social media and it exists but not enough people know about it. That will change if more organizations and or individual creators setup up their own communities and invite people to join. Exactly what Commonshub is designed for...

  17. Hey Canadian Bluesky users!
    Getting uncomfortable with Bluesky’s inevitable decline into USA corporate, private-equity, control?

    Now is the time to come over to the Canadian Social Web.

    It is free, open, community driven, and growing fast.

    There is a handy directory of Canadian spaces at TheSocialWeb.ca.

    And don’t worry, you can even bridge over to Bluesky from your Canadian account so you're not out of the loop.

  22. I know that in some quarters of both the Bluesky and Fediverse side of the #OpenSocialWeb there is a justifiably allergic reaction to AI. I get it and share it. But I'm becoming more convinced than ever at this: if we in the open social web space don't build our own healthy, safe and fair versions of #AgenticWeb interactions here, it will be defined and done for and to us.
