🫧 socialcoding..Very elaborate notes, thanks for sharing. On #fediverse I read this, and totally agree:
> there is this huge gulf between people who design these systems and the people who will use these systems.
There are follow-up notes about maintenance and #moderation, and how volunteers burn out on upholding the always-on instances that #ActivityPub requires.
Interest areas where Social coding commons focuses. The fediverse by itself is just tech, created in a technosphere. Tech that should ultimately fulfill social needs of the people using it. In the sociosphere.
Social experience design #SX focuses on the intersection of #SocialWeb, #SustainableFOSS, and the #commons that creates it and relies on it. #Sustainability is a core principle, sustainable evolution and natural growth are objectives.
Moderation is but one of many #governance patterns that works at certain scales. SX is focused on overarching formation of #ChaordicOrganization.

Like "putting aside the obvious moral and ethical concerns of breaking into my neighbours' houses, I'm interested in evaluating whether this can be useful for acquiring other people's valuables."

eclectechYou might remember my distress at not having been able to grab any tiny balancing sheep photos. Went out for a walk today and it wasn't perfect (the pathway is noticeably higher than the field which makes it tricky) BUT VICTORY IS MINE! 🐑 😁
I continue to stand by rubbish-but-real being better than polished-but-fake.
Behold my rubbish-but-real triptych.
