   Nip it in the bud. The reactionary dismantling of the federated Internet.

   There is a huge outcry about the fact that a discussion forum was held at the CCC's Chaos Congress to discuss the possibilities of centralizing and censoring the federated Internet. https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/de/event/fediverse-governance-fishbowl-diskussion/

   Now, the #Chaos in Chaos Computer Club stands for chaos (get it?) and not for order and cleanliness. If I had wanted surveillance and law and order, I would have joined the CDU or become a cop. It is also impressive that the independent Internet is referred to as “radical anarchism” and that is obviously a bad thing. And now we don't know exactly what a non-radical anarchism would look like? With a king? Or a police state?

   And what I always ask myself in the face of such authoritarian outbursts is: who then makes the rules that we are supposed to follow? Usually it is the fantasies of omnipotence of those who demand it. But why should we follow them? Where does the authority to decide for others come from?

   In “Radical Enlightenment A world of open sources” this question is also asked: Freedom, our greatest good? https://word.undeadnetwork.de/freiheit-unser-hochstes-gut

   In this context, @tuxwise criticizes the discovery plan of the Mastodon project. Quite rightly, I must say. https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/issues/46

   In summary, I think both #Mastodon and #CCC are great things that I have actively supported for many years. And that is why these reactionary, authoritarian tendencies must be strongly opposed! The FOSS community has been creating tools to do just that from the very beginning! NIP IT IN THE BUD!

     ist auch so (https://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/hacker-howto.html#believe4).

     der CCC ist inzwischen einfach eine progressive NGO. der congress wirkt wie "lightshow" mit unterbrechungen für polit-talks.

     Was mich an dieser Sache so wundert: Ich dachte eigentlich der ganzen Hacker-Kultur wäre ein gewisser Anarchismus/Libertarianismus immanent.
     Aber ganz offenbar sind die auch vom autoritären Groupthink befallen - natürlich nur im Dienste der "guten Sache" - "gegen Nazis" oder whatever.
