What if independent social networks were no longer synonymous with loneliness? This article is both an invitation to debate and a call to action. Can't wait to read your thoughts and please share!

Sense8 and ActivityPub: what if everything was connected?

Sense8 cancelled by Netflix despite 500,000 mobilized fans. What if this series was an allegory of the Fediverse? An immense potential. Not yet fully exploited.

@novafuture thank you, your article is mighty interesting to me. Somehow I managed to skip by Sense8 recommended to me by Netflix many times 😢

There are certain philosophies that when elaborated by different parties independently, lead to highly powerful, profound insights - showing a way forward to progress and #prosperity - which when followed through lead to very similar but very unorthodox approaches. There is a universal wisdom and logic to tap into, where things get closer to #Nature and natural forces.

None of the ideas are new, the wisdom is on the street while we trample on it, on our rushed day to day. I sense (pun intended) a deep alignment to what I'm doing, and where thinking in the article ventures.

Social coding commons is based on a simple life philosophy - eternal teaser at https://innercircles.community - which ultimately won't have to be taught to spread. It just needs to be experienced. It's based on making people realize the power of #Humanity by wielding ones virtues.

@smallcircles Thanks for your kind message :-) Yeah, you absolutely have to watch Sense8 :-) Wow! I don't know what you're working on with Innercircles, but it's totally breaking all the rules! I love it! Please keep us updated!

@novafuture I did see Sky Atlas which I really liked.

Btw. I call it 'eternal teaser' since the intent is there will never be more at that url. It should not be needed, and is something long-term even timeless in any case.

More concretely I am working (in 'hobby time' still atm) on Social coding commons and Social experience design, see https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social

How We Reimagine the Social Web

We find novel ways to collaborate and create value together.

@smallcircles Thanks for the link! It's so great to discover you have a real vision for the indie web. From what I've read, I completely agree with your point of view. Your project is very ambitious, which is a good thing. Funnily enough we might already be doing some of what you describe, would love to exchange on that!

@novafuture I think so too, and that it is a natural alignment that flows from exploring these universal principles.

In this case 'ambitious' isn't the right word, though. Only when thought about in the old system perhaps, but a failure condition for the new. For something to be ambitious there must be a definition of success. But the scope is unbounded, so that is impossible. Because we all can't give more than just our 2 cents. Instead there's the Mindfulness core principle which only values progress, however small. This eliminates the need for success, while failure is a learning experience, also progress. The rest is timelessness, there are no expectations.

@smallcircles I think we're in an extremely difficult time for progressive movements, being devoured by capitalism. And I believe the only way out is to build bridges between indie projects. How would you see a bridge between NovaFuture and Social coding commons?
