#Fediverse is a *social* network, right? About being different from corporate anti-social media. Has ambitions to be more diverse, inclusive, cohesive. To provide inter-community social networking where people with similar interests find each other and interact.
Like the #ActivityPub developer community, for instance. The group of people who make all this possible in the first place. Together they uphold the fediverse technology ecosystem and are collectively responsible for evolving it. They chose fediverse as their communication medium, dogfooding their creations, even though this comes with its disadvantages. #Microblogging is ephemeral and fleety and discussions are dispersed and fragmented. There are clear points of improvements for the #fedi, frequently discussed.
What's very odd is that most AP devs hardly:
1. Engage with other AP devs posts.
2. Boost each other's msgs for visibility.
3. Use hashtags for discoverability.Low-hanging fruit for improvement?

#Fediverse today is like plaintext email.
Whereas #ActivityPub is rich email, where we can represent anything, be it an Invoice, Order confirmation, Postal package tracker, Train ticket, Concert booking, Restaurant reservation, Shopping list, Cooking recipe, Science paper, Academic citation, Sport coverage, Adventure game ..
Wherever your fantasy goes.

I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.
What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.
People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.
#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.
Grab anti-AI opportunity!

@aral curious if your poll was inspired by mine, where I took a single-person instance as the example of my #ThoughtProvoker toot..
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116542809803489003
Like in the responses to your poll it triggered a whole bunch of interesting discussion. Unfortunately all happens on a communication medium where all insights are lost tomorrow (except for those who keep records and archives, I guess :)
I think really this is an "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" kind of thing, which is inherent to how we evolve the app-centric fediverse. We try to hammer all forms of communication into a Microblog design.
The app platform becomes a straightjacket way of doing things as intended by its developer owners, plus a bag of features to allow variations to that for instance owners, so they can deal with a certain set of edge cases.
I'd choose the option "it depends". It is solution-specific. But there needs to be crystal clear mutual expectations and proper management thereof.

That is the nice thing of the #ThoughtProvoker hashtag. Leaves it to anyone to have and express an opinion, and those discussion hopeful input to social experience design of our collective social web. I agree with your Should/Shall/Will on the other post. Thank you for your replies.

In daily life, if you talk to someone, you have the right to remember what was said, right?
And if you don't possess photographic memory, you have the right to take notes, keep record, maintain a diary, yes?
And no one has the right to order you to forget your memories, or under normal circumstances to destroy your notes?
So if you have a single-person #fediverse instance, it is okay then to ignore #ActivityPub Delete requests to erase your memory of online public conversations you had with others?

Hypercapitalism is NOT root cause of #Humankind's wicked problems, like #ClimateChange. Or is it?
It is all a matter of perspective.. And making perspective shifts.

> "Progressive #people often divide themselves, to be conquered."
Said a couple times, witnessing what - in similar context offline - would be a minor issue and quick #reconciliation, lead to broken #relationships and silencing.
We sadly live in a day and age where dark forces gathered around the globe. As no day before in our lifetime its vital to stand #strong and #united in the face of evil.
#Progressive space is singled out by the enemy as a danger to them. It's not at all unthinkable, even likely that state actors closely surveil our #fedi #environment, looking for ways to weaken us.
We spread #activism here, forge #grassroots #bonds, lend supporting shoulders, take #care for each other. Build #resistance. ✊
Yet so easily we fight amongst ourselves: we block, we suspend, we ignore. Based on minute nuances of #progressive approach. Understandable. Our #moderation tools are but poor, our #culture fragile.
Let #Harmony be the tip of our spear!

In 2025 and with support of @nlnet I was able to continue my efforts, started in 2017, to help forge molecular bonds in our #fediverse petri dish, via my method of "Weaving in public", instrument of Social experience design. See:
https://discuss.coding.social/t/weaving-in-public-connecting-people-and-interests/85
The wicked problem is, when trying to organize for world improving radical change.. You can't be an atom that shouts: "All aboard! Let's form an organism and free us from the dish of #Hypercapitalism". It is not how Nature works. And yet, this is what we try to do, each in our own ways, and the means we are able provide.
To do this requires sustainable #evolution at scale for prolonged periods of time. To deliberately evolve into what we want to become: a better #future.
All our attempts to artificially scale, against forces of Nature, are doomed to fail. Nature emerges naturally, spontaneously, and grows organically.
We face the #Paradox of #Emergence in how we organize ourselves.

If we were atoms drifting among countless others in chaotic #commons of a petri dish.
How do we form tight molecules together, collaborate with other atoms around us? Equivalent to what #FOSS tries to do. We need good chemistry to make that happen. Take shape together, #organize, find #governance.
Laws of Nature. With many other molecules and atoms like us, how do we #unite? Form cohesive bonds. Become something much stronger still. How do we reach atoms remotely in vast petri dish space, eternities away?
Akin to how we try on #fedi too. Form substance. Take more meaningful shape. But how? We're organic matter, and our tech is rock hard.
How do we form a biological #ecosystems within this dish? #Sustainable, able to #survive? How do we become alive, gain collective #awareness, #agency, ability to act as #collectively?
Finally how are we able to thrive? Find #freedom? Organisms liberated from this dish?

In follow-up to "Grassroots fediverse evolution", which tells the tale of my 8 year social experience in the commons of #FOSS and #ActivityPub fedi, I am preparing another article, called "Paradox of emergent chaordic commons", which is a factor to take into account for ensuring Sustainable ecosystem evolution (SEE).
See the article's #poll and consider joining the brainstorm for yourself in my call-to-reflection on fedi's future: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116379158584600016
The pillars of the #fediverse, which I honor in my article, @evan and @silverpill are doing fabulous work. But it is also work that more people should do, the chores should be more fairly delegated and balanced between all commons participants.
#CommonsJanitoring. There's a saying that starts with "If we all did our part" which in #SX forms a key tenet. Proactive ecosystem participation should be duly rewarded for the commons to become more sustainable.
Discussion thread is already made:

#ParadoxOfEmergence. The Paradox of Emergence entails that the more intricate an #EmergentDesign gets, the more complex #WickedProblems it can potentially solve.
However, all the potential power remains dormant, ethereal and invisible, especially to people other than the designer. It can only be properly perceived and valued, either with deep attention and focus on the emergent dynamics of the design. Or by dilligent practice in the field.
A design may represent a beautiful emergent Golden Dragon of Problem Solving. Waiting in its lair under Wicked Problem mountain for when its time to breathe its Fires of Solution onto mankind. Ready to soar. Yet what most other people and even at times the designer themself perceive is merely a tiny mouse. Thus they are unwilling to add their 2 cents to a Potential they cannot grasp. Unable to see how their support adds to a sizable Dragon's Hoard that has already emerged, lending power to the dragon so it may be unleashed.

Emergence. So fascinating, that. I came to some deep insight re: commons organization, a concept I call the Paradox of (commons based) Emergence. Hope to post a forum topic on it soon.
I told so often on the channels that I shouldn't explain so much about SX concepts. That it was a failure condition. And it is. It was also my method to reiterate to myself for testing and improving them against various statements. And to jog my bad memory.
#SX #ThoughtExperiment. #Emergence needs 2 ingredients: Simple building blocks and a set of rules. What if you were the first person to invent chess? For chess you can write them down in a heartbeat. Then though, this first designer / inventor of the game, who thinks it through..
Can they imagine at that time Magnus Carlson level complexity?

The fun of #SX is that you don't have to learn it, nor do you have to get it taught to you.
Like chess you should #experience it to gain #experience, and you do that by meeting other #people and #practice it. By #SocialExperience with your friends and peers in the chess world #SocialGraph. Weaving #SocialFabric where you can be playful, creative and do experiments, engage in #challenges. This keeps one intrinsically #motivated to stay into the #game. Learn more. Enter a virtuous ⭕ circle of rewarding #exercises.
And perhaps one day. Suddenly and unexpected, #opportunity finds you to play against #MagnusCarlsen. And WIN!
The important thing is: You need not have any *expectation* for that. And most people shouldn't, as it is boils down to 'hanging yourself up to a Vision' if you simply don't possess the 'chess genius gene'. Most people don't.
However you can still #Dream about beating Magnus one day to have fun at every level of your progression path to mastery.

- [chess ingredients here]
And then to continue onwards and think how the relationship is between #FOSS individuals who give their all-in best-efforts for world improvement, make real sacrifices, and who gift their 2 cts with best-intentions, still are faced with uncomfortable questions.
To turn that into solution-orientation we must find a good recipe, and note down #recipe ingredients..

@laurenshof wrote fabulous reports analysing our #SocialWeb and sadly this included raging techno-ideological #ProtocolWars too. How can we turn that to #Progress?
So much friction and heat in the raging discussions #ActivityPub vs. #ATProto 😭
🔮 What is *much* more relevant in #Bluesky vs AP is WHY ❔ Bluesky + ATProto gets the bigger uptake, despite compromising on #moral and #ethical values and #principles we hold dear.
Knowing the answers to that is where #opportunity for strategic action comes from. And subsequently following what you may call #FocusedPragmatism instead of just 'wild-coding' the chaotic #fedi with countless independent, uncoordinated "Show, don't tells" of yet more code to shove onto the #BigBallOfMud that fediverse-we-have increasingly represents.
#ActivityPubAPI provides such Opportunity.
To revive on a *greenfield basis* doing #Protocol design and adopt lessons-learned from APv1 #Microbloggosphere vs. #Atmosphere.

But finally.. here we are. My #ThoughtProvoker article, and it became a whopping 53 min. read 🤯. Publishing such long reflective texts is not common. So I added a #poll to #AskFedi how they parse and consume such #fediverse posted content..
https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116379158584600016
My follow-up appeal for reflection is also fascinating as it relates to #Emergence which is one the key drivers for #Evolution in #SX and being involved in #SocialCoding..

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..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HqUYpGQIfs
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..

#ThoughtProvoker :blobhyperthink:
This same discussion is raging across the entire planet. Yet the 'yes I like it / no I hate it' back & forth isn't very interesting and fruitful. Turning thoughful debate into heated shouting matches.
Instead ponder the technology as-is. Adopt a more strategical, but also philosophical and psychological viewpoint, shift perspective. We need calm environments to analyse what all this means for our #future. Deal with utterly disruptive technology that is *already* dumped right in the midst of us. Much more to come.
Solution orientation is needed to tackle this huge #challenge. I consider LLM's inhumane tech, immoral and unethically introduced. Corporate capture of all human knowledge for pure commercial gain. Greed, vanity, power of the #EpsteinClass. Enormous resource use. Looming AI #dystopia. Hallmarks of #hypercapitalism.
What risks does #humanity face? How can we protect our #freedom? Can we tackle wicked problems?

Solution orientation is needed to tackle this huge #challenge. I consider LLM's inhumane tech, immoral and unethically introduced. Corporate capture of all human knowledge for pure commercial gain. Greed, vanity, power of the #EpsteinClass. Enormous resource use. Looming AI #dystopia. Hallmarks of #hypercapitalism.
What risks does #humanity face? How can we protect our #freedom? Can we tackle wicked problems?

#fediverse is at an inflection point.
Either revival and course correction to the original #ActivityPub protocol power and promise. With the potential to #ReimagineSocial.
Or keep current track with fedi-we-have. Be content with a few great and reasonably popular app platforms. Surely some more to come. But with a messy wire protocol that stifles #innovation and isn't future-proof.
#AskFedi do you dare to dream?
This special thought provoker is based on personal reflection and 8 years of #commoning. Deliberately exposed to the inherent unsustainability of the #FOSS movement. Burning privilege by spending my savings.
Goal: 1st-hand experience to learn the #social dynamics that make a #commons tick.
I invite you to a #brainstorm & #ideation ride. To ponder how #fedi can organically evolve. Become unbeatable by #hypercapitalism.
