In New Canaan, equality isn’t just a concept—it’s the foundation. Israelis and Palestinians would enjoy equal rights and shared governance, where no one group dominates, and every voice is heard. A future built on respect, equality, and cooperation offers both peoples the chance to thrive together, building a peaceful society where dignity and fairness are cornerstones of everyday life. This future isn’t distant—it’s possible. 🤝 #NewCanaan #Equality #SharedGovernance #PeaceNow

"I've long been frustrated at the way that #techbros claim to be #democratizing things like #accessToAI or "access to information". It always seems to be deployed as an excuse for hoarding data…

My rejoinder has been: "#Democracy means #sharedgovernance, not just broad access. Where is your system for allowing everyone represented in that data to have a say about how it is collected, stored, and used?"

@toddo on top of that there's bias based on the difficulty of the class and on the introduction of new concepts that the students don't believe will benefit them. We're negotiating this with warning introductions to the person reading the evals for, say, tenure or promotion. We're going to include more summaries of the class size and nature but our Uni bylaws say that they must be collected and used.bso we'll warn you and use them less I guess.
#SharedGovernance #Evaluations
“The most familiar example of integrating as the social process is when two or three people meet to #decide on some course of action, and separate with a purpose, a will, which was not possessed by anyone when he came to the meeting but is the result of the interweaving of all. In this true social process there takes place neither absorption nor #compromise.” Mary P. #Follett, 1924

How do we grow a shared governance system that can feed approved domains to block to other instances without or less human intervention?

(copy pasting domain one by one isn't scalable)

Need a strong governance system to make sure it #fediblock really really unconscionable instances.

“The fundamental reason for the
study of #group psychology is that no one can give us democracy, we must
learn #democracy. To be a democrat is not to decide on a certain form of human #association, it is to learn how to live with other men.”

I’d recommend respecting the #Mastodon devs’ wishing and instead of beating them over the head about their bad decision, reaching out to the #GlitchSoc or #Hometown maintainers. They’re both forks ...
