@ntnsndr I took option 2 to mean something like: things of greater consequence could be formally signed off by more people, like defederating from a big instance, doing a system upgrade, appointing new admins/mods, etc. (Routine mod actions could still be done solo)

Sure, as long as there is a single server, rogue sysadmin still a threat - but it does not happen often. Let's push sysadmin further toward "titular" power. (i.e. option 2 can be DAO-less)

@ntnsndr point being: I read opt. 2 to mean _more_ human involvement than opt. 1.

@tootbrute @tyil yeah, I get that part about ownership... Would still make me feel more comfortable were it not the case. Looks like Cryptpad are using onlyoffice code for their editors.

And it also seems like Collabora has a desktop version now...

I started a pol.is conversation on the topic "Fediverse acceleration(?) " ⬇️ (You don't need an account)

https://pol.is/6skfwtthmn

pol.is is a FOSS web-app to help find consensus global & subgroup opinions within a set of participants 🤝

I've heard a lot about it over the years, but have had no experience with it. It looks like you rate statements positively 👍 or negatively 👎 and can write your own ✍️ After 7 participants, report data should become available.

@patrickleavy @resl @ntnsndr @pintoch @nathaliesz @nick @liaizon @nonzerosumjames @rosano perhaps some of you interested ⬆️ (otherwise sorry for spam 🙏)

Every time I want to search for something, I'm showed the trends and inevitably lose 5 minutes and 10 #attention hitpoints.

Can I switch it off? Default off toggle? Using mastodon web-app, could change.

@pintoch nice piece. It feels like making the best with the tools we've been given.

New organizational tools would enable new modalities ( Bernie voice: "I am asking you once again to read 'Governable Spaces' by @ntnsndr ")

@madargon Hey, I totally agree with the content of post.

But do you know of the time Nixon said, "I am not a crook", and then everyone thought he _was_ a crook?

A couple of psychologists I skimmed over reckon that because of the associative nature of memory, "negating the frame, evokes the frame, reinforces the frame.

This is why "make X great again" reinforces Trump, whatever you decide to make X.

What resources would you recommend for getting into #activitypub

Basic theory, hello world ... implementation

Don't hold back, flood me 🌊

Seen in #Berlin - Nice one punx.social

@kaia I'm helping migrate a server away from them... But no experience with them myself.

@kaia @bekopharm kleinanzeigennnnn

@ntnsndr @pop_os_official ooh, you're using cosmic now... Is in beta now?

@ntnsndr @pop_os_official alpha 7 I see. But stable enough?

#CapitalistRealism 🤝 #ImplicitFeudalism

"‘capitalist realism’: the widespread sense that not only is capitalism the only viable political and economic system, but also that it is now impossible even to imagine a coherent alternative to it."

— "Capitalist realism", Mark Fisher, 2009

"implicit feudalism, the dominant design pattern for online spaces, in which all power derives from founders and admins, and most users lack opportunities for direct, instrumental effective voice"

— "Governable spaces", @ntnsndr, 2024

Tell me:

Is there any FOSS contact app that has a map view for all contacts with addresses?

As an extroverted and forgetful traveller this would be incredibly helpful!

@kaia u should be kaisa

Expand the #commons! Lend money to buy out k21 if you can. (Free space in Germany dedicated to radical change (the good kind))

(Although I wasn't there, I have enough secondary connections to trust them sincerely.)

@nemobis oof... firstly, that's a real rough handling of Arrow's Impossibility theorem and secondly his point is pretty much the generalization that "you can't make everyone happy" 😓

But thanks for giving me some things to think about, I'll see how I might weave it in.

Do you have a history with meatballwiki?
