I'm Arnold Schrijver (he/him). Social coder. #FOSS, #HumaneTech and #SocialWeb advocate.

I help foster #Solutions that improve #Wellbeing, #Freedom and #Society

Let's #ReimagineSocial and envision a #Peopleverse where archipelagos, built by the #Commons, unfold the #HumanWeb. Delightful Realms of Creation, where only our dreams may hold us back.

Saddening me time and again is seeing individualism and fragmentation in #FOSS.

#Collaboration between projects that's so often low-hanging fruit, yet never happens. More anticipation of needs, helping each other, be stronger together. Yet it hardly shapes up to the extent that it could.

We seem to lack time to become sustainable, let alone 'win' from #Hypercapitalism. No time to seek collab as we prod on alone.

There are exceptions of course, and better collab tools are becoming available.

@guenther yes, that can be improved.

Loom is a screen capture service that is very easy to use, and quite popular.

Here's an example Loom recording of Angus McLeod doing an explanation about the ActivityPub integration in Discourse forum software he is working on:

@guenther yes, guess you can say so. I don't know about all its (social) features, as I am not someone using it myself, but I get frequently passed Loom vids. Often used for giving feedback, where seeing the speaker in the circle is major part of the experience.

Virtue-based economy.

@konrad

Nope. That's vice-based economy :)

Bye bye, 👋

(I decided to keep my account. My statement that SO has some of my work, yet stole it. But I will not, can not contribute anything more.)

Onwards we march towards decentralized Q&A on the fedi ✊

@janvlug over time I got a lot of benefit and also direct help from SO. But the enshittification was always looming.

It is the same for LI btw, where I have some uses for it (until a federated alternative arrives). I recently edited my profile indicating I'm not playing the LI game, though. Should still finish that, but my CV will be elsewhere 😅

@janvlug there used to be Flockingbird project under development, but the maintainer pivoted to building a job search bot + site, and then abandoned that.

@ggpsv

@hobs did a search on non-federated codebases to build from: https://mstdn.social/@hobs/112414438147753719

And @andre reminded me of @retrospring that has several open issues on their tracker. Mentioned in this thread, also on the topic of finding alternatives: https://fedi.jaenis.ch/@andre/statuses/01HXH5R3NQ4FER2TXS68YVGGW6

@luceos @janvlug

Yes, I think so too. Creating some MVP might be a bit of a low-hanging fruit if one is already well-underway with fedi expertise.
