The community that I would like to be part of, would have only this commandment:
> Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness. Give me truth.
Of course, when talking #coops and #tools I'm thinking of social.coop too. If social.coop exists to cooperatively own and operate tool platforms (did I get that right?) . . what other tools than Mastodon will come under the umbrella? And which kinds of users will they be tools for? Tech nerds? Coders? Ordinary everday folks? P2P/solidarity economy activists? Etcetera. Diverse use cases, can't serve 'em all well?
If you know anyone working on an ActivityPub project and they need any advice/feedback/help or want to spread the word, tell them to DM me! I am more than willing to help or spread awareness! #activitypub #fediverse

@vmatekole here my #elixir study list...
I started from 2. Elixir school, since It seemed to me more coincise for a generic overview of the language...

If money really originates as a representation of labor time, or the ability to command labor, then we need dispersed labor rather than the concentrated labor of Sillicon Valley startups. Those startups really just piggyback upon the dispersed social labor time of thousands of FOSS developers worldwide.
Maybe this is where some kind of cryptocurrency needs to exist. A commons currency, or something like that. It would need to be something which doesn't easily concentrate and so isn't attractive to venture capitalists.
Going back into the history of labor there was once also the idea of "labor notes". Usually dismissed as an archaic concept. Probably the closest which exists today are time banks. Perhaps a FOSS time bank could be what's needed.
But of course I don't have the answers here. These are stupendously difficult problems and I'm just throwing ideas around.
@wu_lee We found those 3 tutorials, the first 2 are introductions to Elixir Syntax and philosophy (basic / advanced), and the last one is an app example....
atm I am reading a bit of both, but probably Ill continue and finish the elixir school, since it seems more coincise, before going to the rest.

👋 I am approaching the study of #Elixir lang.
is anyone else interested in study together?
"Mark’s manifesto isn’t about building a global community, it is about building a global colony – with himself as king and with his corporation and the Silicon Valley oligarchy as the court."
"Where Mark asks you to trust him to be a benevolent king, I say let us build a world without kings."
A very well-written article with a lot of quotable sentences.

in a nutshell, it's about autonomy. it's about social media autonomy for every person on the planet. all 7.6 billion of us. nobody else telling us to do, what to say, and nobody else forcing us to see things we don't want to see.
this means Pleroma is being built for an entirely new scale of fediverse: one with billions of nodes. it's also why Pleroma supports alternative transports such as TOR and I2P out of the box.
it also is a major differentiator between Pleroma and Mastodon. in the Mastodon model, there's maybe a few million islands which host a few thousand people each. to contrast, in our model, everyone who wants to host their own instance does so. that means everyone can choose to have total social media freedom.
but it's not just social media, we also intend to use the same underlying tech to enable real-time communications with the same capabilities as the social media side of things.
and it's universal: different frontends for different preferences. like Mastodon but don't have the resources to run it? use Pleroma with Mastodon frontend and apps. like GNU social? Pleroma's default frontend was modelled after it. like diaspora* but want to talk to your fediverse friends? use Feather. like the alternative Mastodon frontends like Pinafore and Brutaldon? they work too.
hate spam and harrassment? we have a mostly as yet untapped framework called MRF which can be leveraged to automate moderation of an instance.
want to modify it? drop by #pleroma on freenode and we help with that too.
It's such a learning experience working on the #MoodleNet project with @dajbelshaw, with an open-by-default approach, which isn't limited to the code - we're involving the #community in the whole process of "how the sauce is made".
Here for example are some diagrams of 3 possible approaches to building the #platform architecture:
- Fully #federated
- Federated with a core #API-as-a-service
- Centralised #SaaS

Criticism is welcome, but remember to give constructive criticism, which includes consideration of how your criticism will affect the other person emotionally. The golden rule applies: how would you feel if you read the message was directed at you? It's hard for someone to constructively make use of criticism if receiving it is an emotional drain.
@Graham_Mitchell @Antanicus @alcinnz
The big diff of protocol vs platform is that several different platforms (as in different apps using the same protocol) are now federated right here using the same protocol.
If you want, for example, to have a cooperative economic system, it better use a protocol so all the cooperatives can interact with each other.

We're actually working on that at https://docs.opencoopecosystem.net/ (slowly) looking at ActivityPub for the protocol.
This mediocre new Italian government is refusing to help more than 50 people, that are dying on the Mediterranean sea, only to prove a point to Europe...
The same Europe that never helped migrants, because they are already comfortable in letting thousands human beings die.
Migrants are not a problem of Europe, we're a problem for them...
