Indieweb Social states its "a home for those who build, study, promote - or are just fascinated by - #openweb, #indieweb, #federated & #humanetech practices & tech"
I'll add to that. It's also a place for 80s style nerds like @tchambers

@cpkimber #Edupunk is a movement in #elearning and #instructionaldesign to look at the paths that were not taken in history, retracing our steps to see if there are better ways forward if we proceed with a #lowtech, #humanetech, #FOSS ethos rather than following the dictates of market capitalism. I think of #solarpunk as a challenge to do that with science as well..
just came up with a humane approach to social media: this "multihoming" model we're trying with ChuuniIRC should be much better than centralized, federated and even peer-to-peer social networks.
After 15 years of fighting to make the web safer and more accessible, co-founders Tim Berners-Lee (inventor of the #WWW) and Rosemary Leith will shut down the World Wide Web Foundation.

My favorite #Mastodon feed? The Local feed of my instance, indieweb.social
Why? Because with about ~1300 monthly active users, and ~10 posts/hour, or less, it is actually possible to check *everything* that was posted today in a reasonable time!
And, I automatically have something in common with everyone here; the instance's focus: #openweb, #indieweb, #fediverse & #humanetech
It feels like the good old days of being a regular on a bulletin board forum around a topic I really enjoy.
@evan And if there is any platform that should center #HumaneTech and #Calmtech versus the more toxic and intense and addictive choices commercial siloes do to drive ad clicks, etc, it should be us. In theory, the non-commercial elements of the Fediverse should have no other incentive but a healthier online space.
This is an important distinction that @pixelfed and the #Fediverse can offer: a respite from the storm of AI junk posts, junk images, and noise. #CalmTech and #HumaneTech is built into the Fediverse DNA.

I've been following the co-founders of the Center for #HumaneTech since #CambridgeAnalytica, and here they are in a recent episode of JRE informing me of things I didn't know before about #AI, #AGI, consciousness, slavery, nukes, Game Theory, and the Middle East.
I understand Joe Rogan may be seen as controversial, but give this a chance. Unless you're able and willing to listen to it all, I think a good place to start is 1:16:44.

I had to relisten some parts to get the idea and oh boy do I like this model.
Digital wellbeing move of the week: I set up an e-mail address for the sole purpose of signing up to newsletters. From idea to action in just 3 years, wow.
What are some rad newsletters to sign up for?
Topics: #SmallWeb #design #ethicaltech #humanetech #humanedesign #ecology #diy #infosec #sustainability #cycling

UPDATE: Thanks, I am not looking for bridging solutions or alternatives. Just good newsletters.
All roads lead to Mastodon - exciting to be here and finally try this out!
As for my #introduction: I'm a Belgian software developer & UX designer living in #Helsinki . I work with my two Belgian colleagues on Welcome To My Garden, a #slowtravel platform
. I'm into #webdev, #lowcode, #humanetech and #reading - I'm also the maintainer of the social reading app readup.org
Thanks @Chronotope for making me discover IndieWeb
Fourth, as if it wasn't enough that nothing is said about who's behind the initiative, they seem to have no #Fediverse presence. And yes, this is important: especially when combined with the restrictive terms of use of the badges, it's an indication of a substantial lack of interest (at best) or antagonism (at worst) towards #freeCulture and #humaneTech, which given the alleged mission behind the badge, is a significant failure.
The distraction blocker Freedom (www.freedom.to / App Store) can now block iOS apps. If you find yourself pulled into a certain app or website more than you want to be, you can block it for however long you wish. You can also set up a recurring schedule, so that YouTube is blocked during work hours, for example.
I've used it over the years to help get work done. Attention is precious water and your phone is a sieve!
How could #BigTech "shift from reducing to enhancing human flourishing and creativity"? Interesting question from this #earth4all report by Otto Scharmer from MIT.
