"A new generation which has grown up with a fresh sense of involvement will make radical alterations in the overall character of the music scene. The symphony hall and the opera house will be treated for what they are: museums for keeping the treasures of the past. The real musical life will be governed again by music of its own time."

Imagine if the #fcc #notam warning network ran on distributed #Fediverse services…
This also isn't centralized industrial networking's first wake up call 😅

Community hubs will be the future. Scale was the problem and this is the fix, so no worries, it will happen. #thefutureislocal 😊

You can move your account, taking your followers, but your content stays behind. If the old site exists I believe content redirects, but if they close, be aware of keeping backups.
Or run your own service! Talk to @stux if you need hosting. There is no crime in having a one person or household node, in fact its the future!
There is clearly an opportunity to build a better future, one that commits to digital spaces that enhance our social and civic life; one that gives communities control over where and how they come together online.

Offline, there are all sorts of rooms that we gather in: there are churches, bars, gyms—what we do in each of those is pretty different. Facebook is like a big conference center, with high ceilings,… Continue reading Welcome to Smalltown, a Civic Space Online

The idea that society is ordered from the top-down originated from Thomas Hobbes’ seminal 1651 book, Leviathan. And this idea still resonates strongly today: we agree to a social contract in which we give up some of our freedoms to the state, in the hope that it will ensure order and our protection. Yet here, Gary A.
