🙌 Thank you 🙌 to everyone contributing to a lively discussion just now on #ActivityPub for Administrations! And especially thank @redchrision for the clear presentation 👍
Important points were raised, on how to engage with citizens as an institution, what moderating capabilities the #fediverse offers, possible administrative limitations to self-hosting / moderating. The next webinar April 26th 10 am CEST delves deeper into ActivityPub with co-author @cwebber -> https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/pub/ec-ngi0-liaison-webinars-and-workshop-april-2021
The thread that keeps going and going.

“Actually, if you look carefully, you can see we are choking the baby, not shooting it…”
“What about them? They shoot babies too!”
“You’re just jealous you don’t get to shoot babies.”
“It’s our baby to shoot.”
Basically every argument of every #Bitcoin reply bro, ever.
Proof of work mining should be illegal. Destroying our habitat by intentionally wasting energy on an already-unconscionable and ever-increasing scale is a crime against humanity.
And no, I’m not worried someone else will “steal” that idea.
Ideas are cheap. Dime a dozen. Dime a HUNDRED.
The discipline to write the damn thing? THAT’S the important, very expensive part.

I am contributor to Hacker Public Radio, Linux user, and generally interested in tech. I also plan to get an RV in the next few years and spend more time on the road. I love music of many kinds, and science, science fiction, and politics
