It occurs to me that there are other voices we should be listening to that aren't European or American in our internet spaces.

You might want to take a look at the Stochastic Penal Colony with the digital twin in mind... I worked from Robert Grimm's excellent paper I found here on Mastodon. Linked in the post.
Digital Twins also get us in trouble in interesting ways. In some ways, the Internet has become a stochastic penal colony, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
The Building of the Stochastic Penal Colony - KnowProSE.com
Chronologically, I first encountered a post by Robert Grimm, linking to his paper “Mapping the Stochastic Penal Colony” on arXiv. That paper, in turn,
KnowProSE.com (knowprose.com)
@knowprose ooh thank you, I will read it.

@knowprose I hadn't heard of the digital shadow definition before so thank you for introducing me to it.
@onepict Yeah - I was introduced to it through Daniel J. Solove's book. He's weirdly active on LinkedIn, worth a follow there, though he tends to be deeper in international law with a focus on US law.
Reading your stuff now. Loving the wizard-mana metaphor.

@knowprose I have accepted.
This was the post I wrote for @fluconf It is a bit long, I need to pop in some bookmark links for the sections when I have a moment.
@onepict @fluconf This was a pleasure to read. It's nice to see like writing from a different cauldron.
On KnowProSE.com, I tend to be more systems neutral and say, "What do you think?" sort of stuff because I have to dance between worlds without stubbing my toes.
I have RealityFragments for... me. KnowProSE is more of a 'speak to policymakers' sort of site, and I've been building foundational content to link through.
Fluconf sounds like it was fun. Keep writing and advocating!

I am glad you enjoyed it.

@onepict @fluconf I'm glad I found your post, and all this stuff.
We need more awareness about these sort of concerns. Our enemy is proximity bias, and we need to find footholds that connect the broader picture with the digital poppets in the audience.
I can't say it's as fulfilling as I would like, but I can say it's an honest life.

So Fediverse who else should we be reading when we worry about Internet Freedom?
About the centralisation dangers and censorship on the internet?
Who are we drowning out?
EDIT:
Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.
@onepict @davidgerard Check out @APC and @globalvoices

@onepict the Homeless Workers Movement from Brazil has a technology chapter (I am part of it) and we have a short comic book in English: https://digilabour.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Other-Tech-Worlds-Are-Possible-Vol.-1-Homeless-Workers-Movement-in-Brazil-English.pdf
We also have a non fiction book released last year that probably will get translated into English as well.

@knowprose I think it's good that there are many different ways we can tell our communities around us about our online landscape. Especially when we come to this from different backgrounds.
It's also good to know we aren't alone in this.

@onepict Isles of coherence.
