In-depth article by Linux Magazine on the Fediverse with interviews with Ivan and Mayel from Bonfire (npub14rp…za3l) and Christine Lemmer-Webber (npub1urx…v0z4)
A good read to share
- About the Open Science Network, the archipielago set-up and the Jacobin.de case (all Bonfire)
- About the ActivityPub standard with federation between servers and client-server with the apps
- About living systems that are brought in by sensor networks about which the neighbours can have conversations.
- About solidarity networks. Such as Co-op Cloud (npub1mnc…05w9) – a community first and a set of
deployment tools and recipes second - of which Bonfire and also the #DemocraticTechFund are members
- Also about how #VentureCapital money typically results in shiny but extractive businesses that turn into an #enshittification process to return maximum profit to shareholders. Instead we can have networks of community centred ventures and cooperative platforms, such as Social.coop (npub1yq9…z5wx). And public funding channeled through e.g. NLnet (npub1n8y…l96n)
