this is what @semble.so is building towards (albeit with a skew towards academic researchers)
For example, I'm using to collectively-source atmosphere new and turn it into newsletters
bsky.app/profile/chri...
one of the clearest gaps in the ecosystem - working against the lofty decentralisation goals - is how power concentrates in tools: lists/feeds/labellers
the implicit decision by bsky rn is "don't let these things become powerful", which also means "don't let these things become *too* useful"

Great atmospheric experiment with collective curation + publishing pipeline!
Would love to support ways to publish more collaborative in @leaflet.pub but even now things like open collections in @semble.so make it easy to prototype in this direction!
wrote about this and more reflections on this alternate internet of Chinese apps & design

thank you! ๐๐ป
ah weird i'll look into, but it seems like a bug in leaflet!

This is a radically different idea than the advocacy Iโve seen for โdata portabilityโ and โdata sovereigntyโ. Itโs a *restructuring* of power rather than small adjustments to existing structures.
atproto and local-first, both in their own ways, demonstrate what such a restructuring can look like.
The first at://news weather report is here, learn about what happened across the atmosphere this week and how we are exploring how to collectively-source future newsletters with your help!
An ethics for technology that doesnโt get embraced (socially and technologically) or becomes appropriated doesnโt mean much tbh.
Adjacent, but Pfaffenbergerโs analysis around how political values are interwoven into technological artifacts and the ways they can resist the dominant ideology but usually end up reinforcing existing social structures seems equally important.

I guess when i said data sovereignty i was specifically thinking cloud sovereignty, the servers your data is stored and used on are moved within the border of your nation state.
sounds like a case for
document.addEventListener(
'keydown',
e => { e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); },
{ capture: true }
)
Publishing tomorrow, add any links you'd like to see included soon!
Independent as in โnot blueskyโ?

It's true that opening up the social graph removes huge network effect, but it's not the only one.
Note similar power dynamics emerging here

been saying this!
I wonder if this could be a web tile that handles the link redirection client side?

in this week's article I talk about Mastodon's new Share button, and how a network that cares strongly about open protocols gradually became dependent on proprietary protocols instead

wonder if you could elaborate on the power aspect?
ooh very cool! the @ecosystemaction.com folks might be interested in know more about this
cc @christian.bsky.social @tessa.germnetwork.com @captaincalliope.blue
folks at @ecosystemaction.com should call themselves meteorologists... change my mind
Really good article by @chrisshank.com about the politics and semantics of the @ symbol in relation to its use as a signifier of an address or person.
After all, with enough time, the politics and social understanding that arose during the development of technologies slowly fade away from the collective conscious, but they persist, invisible to the mind, nonetheless.

The construction of technology is, simultaneously, the act of embedding political and social values into those artifacts. What does it mean for the US military to be the primary funder of computing and AI then, honestly I'm not sure we meaningfully understand.
