I feel so at home at Solidarity Hall—a rare community that understands the interconnections of theology, philosophy, and solidarity economies.

In their newsletter today, Elias Crim and I discuss my new book : https://solidarityhall.substack.com/p/a-chat-with-nathan-schneider

This is really freaking me out right now! I think it is just part of @pop_os_official doing a software update, and Pop never adopted the backdoored versions, but still.

@JMarkOckerbloom Yes, I'm excited to be in it (though I imagine my media studies colleagues are a bit baffled)

I keep brooding on the way the xz backdoor was enabled in significant part via weaponizing the FOSS culture of shitty behavior and abuse.

Yes, there're other pathologies at work here (the big tech capitalist pillaging of the commons, etc).

But what is striking is that the uncool, mean standards of FOSS conduct that many of us have decried for years, & that many defended as authentic, tough, etc., ended up not just being exclusionary loser behavior, but a significant attack surface.

@ophiocephalic @kissane @inquiline @Mer__edith and I completely agree on FOSS. In chapter 1 I do some exploration of how the power vacuums built into git help support tyrannies of structurelessness in FOSS projects.

There is no democracy without a commons.

This week I am grateful to be discussing on the Frontiers of Commoning podcast with one of my heroes, David Bollier: https://www.bollier.org/blog/nathan-schneider-building-democratic-governance-internet

David's books are a phenomenal intro to the power and craft of commoning.

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.

Read an excerpt of media theorist @ntnsndr's new book, Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life.
