Strongly agree with Alanna Irving's take (unsurprisingly - she's consistently one of the most thoughtful people about online collaboration). Sharing here for emphasis:

"They are excited by the parts of the problem that are quantifiable or cryptofiable and forget that the important or hard parts of the problem (building trust, connecting your vision with the outside world) aren't quantifiable at all."

Bingo. This is also a criticism of a lot of the "platform co-op" space - they focus on the tech too much and the cooperative culture aspects (almost) not at all.

@GuerillaOntologist @shauna @Matt_Noyes @Stacco @alannairving @mattcropp I don't know where to begin.

But, for instance, that quote is coming from Alanna, who is herself a veteran leader of several cooperative platforms and a major voice in the movement.

Your comment erases the incredible work of many people in our movement.

@GuerillaOntologist @shauna @Matt_Noyes @Stacco @alannairving @mattcropp I might also share the intervention of the DWeb Principles (and related camps and events), led by @mai (and which I contributed to a bit). This is an example of work focused on centering "decentralization" efforts around culture, not tech solutionism: getdweb.net/principles/

So many more examples, many of them just part of my daily life and that of my comrades.
