#XMPP / #Jabber «[..]Conversations isn’t trying to replace current commercial messengers. It will simply outlive them. Commercial, closed source products are coming and going. 15 years ago we had ICQ which was replaced by Skype. MySpace was replaced by Facebook. WhatsApp and Hangouts will disappear soon. Internet standards however stick around. People are still using IRC and e-mail even though these protocols have been around for decades.[..] »

Federation of Democratic Instances (FeDI):

* Social.coop
* Sunbeam.city
* Plush.city

Any other democratically run instances I'm missing?

social media is community infrastructure and requires ethical, accountable governance as much as roads and bridges do.

@garbados Additionally maintainers should also educate themselves about consensus building and other democratic processes that are resistant to conventional liberal bikeshedding. You are exactly right that collaboration and delegation are administrative skils that are necessary, but political acumen beyond the technical is another, perhaps even more crucial aspect of this,

So I think I can attack any developer's machine running IPFS as a daemon to upload files from their system to the network pretty easily.

We are not going to compete with the mainstream car industry by promoting engine replacements. We are going to compete with the mainstream car industry by building better cars that are safer and more sustainable. But those cars aren’t going to grow on trees. We must fund the organisations that will create them from the commons for the common good.

#EthicalTechnology

In the same way that the proletariat was first defined by the capitalist oppressors but then self actualized and grew into an independant identity based off of their experience and work and the capitalists remain defined by their oppression of the working classes.

So too was blackness defined by white supremacists, but through our experience, through our work and our humanity and our love we have gained an identity independent of whiteness, while those who claim whiteness are still defined by supremacy.

Blackness can exist on its own, but whiteness can not.

So celebrate with your comrades who celebrate their blackness, and shed any kinship you have with the oppressive identity of whiteness and the evil supremacy that it always carries.

I renamed my iPhone “You’re on Stolen Land” as a reminder to random people when they’re looking for a wifi network.

Facebook is rolling messaging between WhatsApp Instagram and Facebook messenger into one.

While they claim to add end-to-end encryption (let's see about that), the silent part is about profiles, contact lists and access.

Internally, the founders of WhatsApp left over this and employees are rebelling. That tells you a lot about how user-hostile these changes will be.

Zuck wants more data. #DeleteWhatsApp.

Anarchist Training Guide Request :anarchism: #anarchism

Can some people crowd-write a training guide on how to defy authority and how to practice and hone the skill of defying authority?

Those who have lived a life of privilege and who have never claimed or experienced the benefits of defiance are often completely lacking in these skills and when the time comes to use them, they have no defenses or counters to these psychological attacks. This makes them and their comrades unacceptably vulnerable.

We need to have some guides available so that marginalized comrades are not forced to do obscene amounts of emotional labor and deal with unacceptable levels of danger when organizing.

Thank you!
