#prosocialweb — Public Fediverse posts

Woot, a rave review by @thefulcrum 💞 on my blog post "Paradigm shift to the Prosocial web".

Thank you very much!

#SX #SocialWeb #ProsocialWeb #ActivityPub #fediverse

#AI opens exciting opportunities for those NOT offering it! 🤯

Imagine a travel agency that just offers a phone number that immediately gives you a real human on the line to help you enjoy your well-earned vacation. And that you no longer have some Booking.com #LLM hellhole to wade through.

Imagine real human connection at the customer service of an online webshop, when you want to return something or have questions on a product.

Imagine government agencies having emphatic people available who care about your problems, and help you get on your way.

Imagine developer tools that just do what is on the tin and nothing more. Like they used to do before becoming AI-first.

What a delight all that will be. And you know what is most delicious? It is ALL readily available to us! 🚀

Human to human services. They rock! We can bring them to a #fediverse near you..

Enter the #ProsocialWeb.

I think perhaps you meant to reply to this toot: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/117206354772977259 ?

Yes, that is true. But the concept of #SOSS takes that into account, being adapted for today's reality. It brings an extension to the idea of "working in public" that is common in #FOSS, and introduces "working in commons". This #commons is a more value-aligned protected space, where participants take care of each other's needs, following #sustainability-first principles.

Service-orientation that comes with the paradigm shift to the #ProsocialWeb is not just technical in nature, but extends into social-cultural space, where people are focused to satisfy needs on the basis of value exchange. Within this environment a commons-based value #economy may emerge.

There are already very promising technologies on the #SocialWeb that may be foundations for such an economy, such as https://valueflo.ws and the #Bonfire project, that is working to support the #Valueflows specifications.
