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?

Like seriously, if you have a suggestion please reply. I'm enthusiastically asking.

@onepict not Fediverse, but Rest of World provides a useful corrective:

@onepict Chinese activists. The PRC has the most sophisticated and comprehensive internet censorship and filtering mechanism in the world, and importantly: they also export their technology and knowledge to other repressive regimes.

The Net4People forum, hosted on Github issues, where people (not only Chinese but also Russians, Iranians, etc) discuss network censorship: https://github.com/net4people/bbs -

The community is broadly interested in resisting tech authoritarianism, using open technology for societal good, ensuring digital freedom, and preserving democracy in our anti-democratic technological age.
I think the best way to get an idea is to look at the talks from the previous g0v summit (@summit) from 2024: https://summit.g0v.tw/2024/agenda/

thank you for my sharing my essays! I’ll resume writing them this year. I’m almost done with my first paper submission (also on software freedom and social participation)! -

@onepict I tend to boost them when I see them, and I often write from a systems perspective on topics related to privacy, et al, from a global perspective.
Been involved at the WSIS level in the past, the LAC region (pretty much a lost cause), etc.
Writing's on KnowProSE.com, increasingly so.
Not self promoting. Looking for like minds myself.

@violetmadder @onepict As an #autistic, #Mastodon is one of the only Social media platforms I can stomach, as it's toned down, with no invasive, distracting garbage built into the platform. No ads, no algorithms, just a small army of abrasive, sensationalist, agenda-loudmouthed people needing to be muted and blocked. Then it's awesome.

@knowprose @info Interesting I found your digital twin post resonates with my own post about digital poppets for @fluconf

It's a common thread in privacy circles derived from the digital shadow that goes back to data shadow from Kristen Aner...
That's how the Intention economy changed polarity from Doc Searl's original thought...

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.

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 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.

@knowprose I hadn't heard of the digital shadow definition before so thank you for introducing me to it.
