buc.ci is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
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.

"Our custom #bikes and gear reflect our dirt intentions and we #LeaveNoTrace to keep it all sustainable. Our #bikepacking #commons weaves us together and forms the grounds of this community. We all help maintain our commons first and foremost by riding."
Important piece by Josh Meissner about how #Komoot betrayed the commons and what the bikepacking community must learn from it.
Das ist eine sehr schöner und rundum gelungener journalistischer Beitrag von Joshua Meissner bei Netzpolitk.org "Komoot: Wie Kapital die Community in die Irre führt"
- Analysiert den Zustand,
- Stellt Perspektiven dar (Nutzer/Eigentümer)
- Stellt Problme dar.
- Stellt die Probleme in verschiedene Kontexte.
- Offenbart Lösungsmöglichkeiten
Das ist guter "KonstruktiverJournalismus", super.

I did a basic image search from StartPage yesterday, for "Sisyphus".
Wow.
I guess it's been a while since I tried this. There are lots of famous paintings and drawings around this classic character and his story, but rather than getting a lot of those, 95% of the results were very obvious "AI" slop. Awful, shitty slop. Stuff that jumps off the page saying "No human intellect or feeling was used in the production of this image".
A few big landowners are really letting their flocks shit all over the village commons. Not gonna have much of a commons left at this rate.
