Today's @spritely "technical values" thread touches on a topic very important to me personally: "Networks of consent"! https://social.coop/@spritely/113703378145858473
Indeed, you could say this is the most important value to me.
And if the framing sounds familiar, you may recognize you've heard it before in my writeup about where I think the fediverse should go: "OcapPub: Towards networks of consent"! https://gitlab.com/spritely/ocappub/blob/master/README.org
@cwebber @spritely In other contexts I've called this a "social proximity network", to contrast it with the physical/topological proximity metric of computer networks. The topology grows and changes to mimic the evolution of the social network it's facilitating, and "connect everything to everything" is an anti-goal, unlike the internet and incumbent social networks.
