I'm a UK -ist and anarchist, (www.footprinters.co.uk, www.radicalroutes.co.uk) moving round North America vaguely clock-wisely til Oct 2018, visiting projects with an explicit radical social change focus. That covers a lot of stuff: P2P, decentralised comms, workplace democracy, eco stuff In theory learning what works and what doesn't with enough relevance to apply to ,

Egypt has done more than censor the internet. Egypt was found to have hijacked unencrypted HTTP connections for advertising and cryptomining πŸ’°

A groundbreaking new report by OONI and AFTE details these anomalies and more: blog.torproject.org/egypt-inte

I'm new here. I'm a software engineer living in SF Bay Area. Very curious about social.coop in particular and in general about better ways of interacting, working and being together and in society.

I am invited to run a workshop at an event hosted by prodii.com on building in .

One of the questions we'll explore is:

*How do you build trust digitally?
How do you create trust & collaboration with people you don’t know and have never meet in real life?

What do you think? What kind behaviours & conditions are supportive?

#MondayAnarchy #Anarchism

Should I revive this #MondayAnarchy mastodon effort, or not? Many months ago I initiated this to start a conversation around anarchism or socialism etc starting every monday (when people are annoyed with going to work).

Continue? What should be the next question? theme? or issue?

@njoseph IMHO breaking folks out of the #DataFarms requires every geek to set up a VPS (or box-in-the-closet) for their tribe (150 closest family and friends), and actively trained anyone keen to learn how to do the same; #CommunityHosting more so than #SelfHosting

I'm going to the 2018.open.coop event in London 26/27 July. I would love to meet up with any people who will be there.

I'll be aiming to talk about platform6.coop and P2P crowdsourcing for startups, https://diglife.comand the potential for Cooperation as a Service (CaaS), and looking collaborators, partners and funders πŸ˜‰

@mike_hales Cooperative management of shared infrastructure is path to "libre." A more libertarian approach is decentralization and federation around fixed (or cooperatively managed?) protocols which deemphasize the need for shared infrastructure in some way.

If we believe that effective cooperatives will be limited in scale or scope, a combination of the two may be necessary. This is more or less what we have here at social.coop which is part of a larger federated network.

Of course, when talking and 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?

Mayel boosted

Puzzled . . @mako makes a clear pitch on "Free software production needs free tools" youtube.com/watch?v=U_nK6nP_RC
And is very clear on and (though says most code comes from solo not collaboration!). Yet not a hint of coop ownership of to keep tools honest & open (GitHub!). Surely tools today become platforms? And platforms require collaboration even if code doesn't? So why doesn't follow automatically, as we talk tools? How does libre not equal coop in FLOSS world?

Together with the Governance Working Group, I've just posted a proposal to clarify the language in the Bylaws: loomio.org/p/1PSop0v2/bylaws-r Please participate. The proposal is open for 10 days.

Can you push to multiple git remotes with a single command?

In other words, can I do something like configure one remote "name" that pushes my local changes to several different remotes at the same time?

Anybody know anything about FairBnB? Apparently it's a version of AirBnB.

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

@mayel @ti calling this a project is generous. There's a few GitHub issues by 4 people, 20 days ago, and then it stopped. The list is also basically empty
