#NOAW @FediVariety think a good #KISS path out of this mess is to move social communications to the Fediverse. But I’m going to say something that sounds controversial, but isn’t: they should not primarily use any of the current codebases, as they are kind of kludges.
The proposal is that they fund the production of three new codebases based on commons publishing. Why three? Because funding this would cost cents on the euro compared to what they currently spend. Why three? Because likely two of them will mess up, so we need diversity.
Why not use existing codebases? Simply because they are copies of #dotcons or #NGOs. But what they have achieved is the standardisation of code, protocols, and culture, and for this, we should thank them.
As this is a federated network, people can still access and interact with it from these existing tools. So widening the native #openweb adds to their value as well.

Happy to announce Nikolaus Pöchhacker (https://digiones.org/) will give #keynote for our #NOAW unconference:
"Coding communities? On the possibilities of building open digital societies through public value algorithms."
Nikolaus is part of the IDea_Lab at Uni Graz: https://idea-lab.uni-graz.at/en/specialist-areas/data-analysis/

Hamish Campbell is a long-time #openweb activist and technologist working on grassroots media and digital commons. He was involved in the early development of #Indymedia and continues this work through projects like the Open Media Network (#OMN), which works on how federated tools and community publishing supports public-interest media infrastructure. His focus is balancing building native platforms and on growing the social culture that makes the #openweb work: transparency, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/thinking-of-workshops-to-run-at-nodes-on-a-web-noaw-unconference/
I will be at Nodes on a Web from @FediVariety next week, so now is the perfect time to finally add multilingual support to the Mastodon list. This website aggregates daily lists of Mastodon accounts based on Wikidata queries and daily Mastodon meta numbers in different categories.
In total, there are 22 lists on this website: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/.
There are five new lists specific to the Netherlands:
1) 22 non-profit organisations with a total of 14,387 toots and 55,381 followers: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/non-profit-organisationen-NL
2) 18 state authorities with a total of 16,333 toots: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/behoerden-NL
3) 16 research institutions with a total of 5,099 toots: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/institute-NL
4) Three universities and colleges: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/hochschulen-NL
5) Three cities and municipalities: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/staedte-und-gemeinden-NLgradsoftware.de/staedte-und-gemeinden-NL
The software is open source and you can find the project here: https://github.com/54GradSoftware/playground_mastodon_hochschul_liste.
Feedback, pull requests and Wikibase queries for new lists are welcome. If you are at the conference, please say 'Moin'. (1/2)
