I put a footnote recently to a similar call to "Use FOSS, people!" as it should come with the notion that #FOSS does not appear out of the blue, especially not valuable, sustainable FOSS that satisfies all the real needs that these people have. FOSS can do much better to anticipate them, which is my fascination in exploring and elaborating Social experience design (SX) at https://coding.social ..

https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116656790000134936

#SX focuses on the ability to form social supply chains within the #commons, and foster chaordic organization where commons participants engage in #service development, delivery, and exchange so that over time a commons based value #economy can emerge.

Instead of FOSS projects, SX refers to SOSS initiatives. Sustainable open social software / systems / services / solutions / social experiences. FOSS then is just the codebase + a license, the deliverable at the end of the pipeline that must satisfy needs, and bridge the gap between tech and people.

Like the previous article on Grassroots fediverse evolution, this is a long blog post, so I provided an article summary to be TL;DR'ed 😊

> So I would say: do not be afraid of standing on the shoulders of giants. [..] So, to answer your question: we have built the foundations. Now it is time to use them more. Continuing to develop everything from scratch may be enjoyable for some people

In my blog post I briefly mention that related to Social experience design, and the mindset / perspective shifts that are involved, there is a different way to perceive our commons, which is less likely to lead to all kinds of expectation mismatches.

I mention the counter-intuitive first rule of Hedonic peer production again, of:

> Do not ask what you can do for the commons, but what the commons can do for you.

This turns things upside down to how we usually view our #commons participation e.g. in an implied "I created this FOSS project already, so now I deserve your contributions". That is a false notion. You should not be expecting that, can't expect that, and have firm drivers and motivators.

Great that you found the lists useful. There are 2 other fediverse-related list in the delightful commons initiative.

@flancian it depends 😅

On one hand #SX constitutes an entire new field of #ICT. A perspective and mindset shift, a way of viewing technology development and adoption differently, and be able to perceive the huge gap to where tech ends and real human needs start. There's some 'Umdenken', rethinking involved. Going the opposite direction from the tech-first approach that dominates today. "We create tech, and you must adapt to it" is the implicit call of the #DigitalTransformation hype, for instance. It is already implied by the name.

Being an entire field, it is open to any adventurer to explore in their own way. There's a huge niche, especially for grassroots social web based ecosystems.

And then there's my own applied research on an opinionated SX methodology at https://coding.social

Here I'm ready to set a growth process in motion that leads to formation of a #commons based value economy. However, I lack savings and income, thus this is hobby track only and very slow-moving atm.

@fgraf

Yes, indeed. @Johns_priv also brought this up, to which I replied here:

What the discussions to the poll shows is that there is so much nuance, and numerous communication use cases and edge cases.

And in the call to "join the fediverse" and plug in to the wire there is high risk that this nuance is not properly addressed, or is even unaddressible by the general approach that is followed. It is not "been there, done that, copy mastodon, bolt on feature". That organic chaotic growth does not have a naturally healthy outcome. It can grow the blob too.

That is more or less the key point of my blog post on Grassroots fediverse evolution: that there is a sweet spot to be found between spontaneous grassroots emergence and orchestrated top-down standardization and guidance.

#SX has a focus on the prosocial design patterns that underly all the various online communication modes, and these can be defined in a tech-independent manner.
