Mastodawn

Kate Nov 29, 2016

Thinking: the difference between mastodon as a bundle of replicable open source affordances; and mastodon as a forming common ground community of very unlike types taking care with one another's needs and interests.

I can see why critical educators will jump away to a specialist instance and I'm keen to do this work, but while we're here I am really loving what I'm learning about human capacity to trust and share.

@katebowles It is very important IMO, that as learn as much as possible & document the two processes you describe: M as fed open source affordances & as how community forms/takes care of interests.
I am confident that while the path will be rocky, the long term outcome of Trump/Brexit/neolib crap will be a collapse of centralized hierarchies. Many people will want to follow in the paths we walking to create here. We need to be able to show them how some day.
