    Looking forward to next week's conference, "For a Collective Internet": how can we organise civic online communities and AI based on public values and democratic principles?

  • Web 2.0 was about "social media", then turned into the predominant North-American "social space": a consumer shopping mall.

    The is currently about "societal media". Still a predominantly Western-oriented social space, but rooted in democratic rather than feudal/private sector/benevolent dictator models.

    To preserve our key values:

    1. We need non-Western models of society in here.

    2. We need to talk about governance and "citizenship" more than about tech features.

  • Time to bring SOCIAL back into : clubs and institutions host their staff's and patron's accounts, built upon the social structures we already have in place.

    What and are about, I think.

    EU and German governments are doing it, any newspapers already on board?

    And linked to where the word "pub" comes from: a public place, but with privacy and protection.

    We will replicate the power structures we have, yes, but at least not regress further to feudal days.
