I believe those that built #activitypub and that have projects and or major influence within the #Fediverse should absolutely come together to provide education, information, stability and uniformity. Especially, as there’s this incredible growth is happening. It would clear up any misinformation. People by nature like things clearly defined. I believe with #Barcelona coming soon, Mozilla’s #Mastodon instance and those migrating from #Reddit now is an opportune time.

@damon @Hamishcampbell seems to be talking about creating a governance model for the #fediverse. He talks about the need for some overarching #governance model, rather than a governing body. He suggests that copying the corporations way of doing things may not play to the strengths of the fediverse. I.e the lack of control afforded by not having a governing body promotes creativity.

yep, It's something that came out of a lot of work on #socalhub and outreaching #activertypub to the #EU

Working and thinking on "native" #openweb aproches to governance

The #SocialHub and the #fediverse do not have to conform to traditional hierarchies and power structures. Instead, they have the potential to create new models of governance and organization that empower communities and promote social change. To achieve this, it is important to resist the urge to impose liberal “common sense” solutions that align with existing power structures, and instead use social code to build a new kind of society that is native to the #fediverse and #openweb #OGB proje...

@damon @Hamishcampbell @adar yes and no, people in general do not see the need to move beyond the #feudalism of #FOSS governance... in this they spend a lot of time #blocking

So the #OGB project is a build it permissionless and let it loose, people will see the value or not.

A different and much larger group of people are empowered in tech and can build consensus and push the "social" agenda they need.

It's a #KISS project.
