mastodon republic
name of museum of care room to gather and discuss rules et al of mastodon space via nika dubrovsky et al [https://museum.care/room/mastodon-republic/]:
The David Greaber Institute‘s Mastodon server is up and running. I hope it will be useful to some.
Unlike other Mastodon servers, my idea is to try to leave the rules as open as possible and have ongoing discussions about them. I see our Mastodon server as an online laboratory for creating and recreating social relationships.
For that, we will hold Assemblies where the rules can be discussed.
We plan to hold the first Assembly at 04 May, 2023 20:00 (London time)
m of care – may 4 (in draft form – requested to not publish)
2) How can we organize a collective discussion about rules for our server?
How can we organize a collective discussion of the rules of our server without destroying it with chaos or, conversely, overly strict order?
These are all old questions about the nature of technology, about direct democracy, about how projects really work.
Here is my explanation of how art, social design and technology are connected and why such a project as Mastodon has everything to do with the Museum, specifically because this is a Museum of Care.
links to: THE ARTIST IS LIKE THE PROGRAMMER OF AN OPEN-SOURCE SOFTWARE:
We need to fight FOR societal rules that allow those who disagree to safely leave projects they are not comfortable with and create projects of their own that they feel good about.
or perhaps even better/deeper.. org around legit needs sans any form of m\a\p so that it’s not about choosing/deciding on projects.. it’s about listening to the itch-in-the-soul 1st thing everyday & using that data to connect us.. new everyday.. to no need to leave and search.. everyday anew depending on your itch/curiosity that day

from tweet about it [https://twitter.com/museumofcare/status/1663574592932270080?s=20]:
2/2 This is the most important project for us, which corresponds to our beliefs and passions:
– direct action,
– learning by doing,
– the creation of social space that cannot be delegated or alienated by private institutions.

yikes: Admin of an anarchist Mastodon server raided by FBI, insecure user data gets seized [https://www.neowin.net/news/admin-of-an-anarchist-mastodon-server-raided-by-fbi-insecure-user-data-gets-seized/]
While federated platforms like Mastodon are nothing new, many mainstream users are only just coming into contact with them. One of the new issues people need to think about is whose server you join. Do you trust anarchists with your data and ones that have come under the suspicion of the FBI?

Luckely on http://graeber.social, we don’t have any secret info. 1/
The Mastadon project is important, not because it is a great place to store secret information, but because it is a space organized for the people by the people. It does not have advertising, censorship or manipulation of opinions. 2/
It is difficult to shut it down completely, although they can. After all, there are already thousands of servers, and I encourage everyone to set up as many as possible. The more there are, the harder and more expensive it will be to stop the whole system. 3/
infinitesimal structures approaching the limit of structureless\ness and/or vice versa .. aka: ginorm/small ness
ie: imagine if we ness of a nother way .. why gershenfeld something else law best ‘safety/security/antifragility’ et al..
