@Mastodon Why not have a user-elected board of directors? A real missed opportunity to bring democratic values to Mastodon.

I'm in volume 4 of Kernel, a techno-optimist magazine with contributions I'm more than glad to be next to.

You can get your copy at https://shop.kernelmag.io/products/kernel-4?variant=40975508635721

I was inspired to write for them after reading two articles in volume 3, namely "When the computer is the witness" and "No girls on the Internet"!

(also more people should try doing this! I didn't think it'd work out but here we are!)

In which @ntnsndr, in conversation with David Bollier – https://overcast.fm/+YVzymNQfY – does that thing where someone points out a dynamic that should be obvious, but it needs that someone to point it out to you:

Namely, that the client-server model of online infrastructure is inherently antithetical to democratic governance.

In our online lives, “we are in some sense being trained out of the democratic practices that have been so essential to practices of political democracies”

He’s even optimistic and energetic enough to see how the blockchain could be employed to distribute in a more democratic fashion.”

AI is just today’s buzzword for “outsourcing,” and it comes with the same problems that have plagued outsourced companies and workforces for decades, writes Princeton University sociologist Janet Vertesi:

Why is the default for digital communities a system where community members have no power, representation, or agency?

This “implicit feudalism” isn’t great for moderators either — they’re just vassals of the platform CEOs.

Ch2: Examination of the California Ideology, its "politics of no politics", frontierism and homesteading logic, and "faithless religion of exit." Stands to reason the tech does not teach political skills. Contrasts with homeplaces, Politics of everyday life, consensus building and basically microsolidarity.

Would you like to see higher adoption of Mastodon in higher education?

Here’s an opportunity “tip the scale” & show that Mastodon can be an effective part of their social strategy while ALSO supporting an organization doing amazing work in the fediverse. If you use this link to donate to the College of Media, Communication & Information, the source of the donation will show up as coming from Mastodon.

The UI suggests $25, but you can donate as little as $1
