benpate@mastodon.social with the solutions π
High level overview of what we need to do to cross the chasm to reach the early adopters.
A quick shout-out to reiver@mastodon.social who is literally still doing conference org work during the conference.
"The cells in the body are less important than the body itself."
Am loving how benpate@mastodon.social is focusing on getting creators onto the fediverse. Important work to cross that chasm!
πΊ
dawn@cosocial.ca presenting an interesting history of how coop@cosocial.ca came to be.
I love how both we have representation from both CoSocial.ca and SocialBC!
dawn@cosocial.ca makes the point that it's important that cosocial members buy at least the share into the coop so as to have a stake in the coop itself.
It's more of a commitment than just filling in a form.
johannab@cosocial.ca on Digital Third Spaces!
Back in the day forums were that digital third space. Social media took that over and they've dropped the ball.
Let's bring them back (with more forums obviously)
Someone's got Mastodon open on their device with sound on and it keeps dinging, and I'm having a Pavlovian urge to check my phone.
I don't even use the Mastodon web app wth
Analog or digital, humans are the glue that holds together third spaces.
johannab@cosocial.ca making the assertion that fedi can make a better third space (digitally)
reiver@mastodon.social with a surprise demo of CrowdBucks! A new way to help fund the fediverse.
Congrats chad@mstdn.ca for winning the FediCon swag competition. Move over stickers here's a MUG.

@julian @chad @evan I have 2 of those! ,π

@julian
TLDR; but if it's akin to a viable microparyment service, then let's use it to pay rights holders for their IP. It could be commission-free small amounts that are still greater than the royalties proprietary incumbents pay and could attract a critical mass through a/ better pay & b/ ethical tech.
@reiver
@julian I hadnβt noticed the sound at all until I read this post, now I canβt stop hearing the ding too hahaha
@julian
I forget who caught me in the after party chaos and so wisely noted that Social Media != Social Network and among my FediUrbanism 2.0 revisions needs to be the idea that an online Social Network can possibly come closest to a true Third Space, but Social Media contains too many antithetical attributes.
@julian @dawn @coop I'm fully sighted, and I could do with some alt text for those tiny slides xD
