The side of the story that law enforcement and lovers of 🥓 don't want to show. That every week for the last 3 years We The People NYC comes together to build community in Bed Stuy. It's love. It's joy. It's Blackity Black Black. It's non-hierarchical. It's a No 12 Zone. We take care of each other. RE:

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first year Fediverse power-user. You just got finished reading about how Bluesky isn’t decentralized — Christine’s blog post probably — and you’re convinced that AT Protocol is a flash in the pan while ActivityPub is the real hope for the web’s future. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreia52ujgl6cwidzbbm3i7tmy4bs4ic6lfcfece3g3xj3ivrpiyrkwq

Had a great convo with @Flipboard’s CEO @Mike McCue (who is also a big supporter of and contributor to Blacksky!) about building new kinds of communities that couldn’t have been built before (owning the data, infra, rules) Talk about mutual aid, stuff I’m thinking of building next, etc [Architecting a New Era of Comm...]( )
“It is a small number of people who decide to actually build something to show that something is possible who can meaningfully alter what this next generation of social networks look like. And that is pretty exciting to me.” ❤️‍🔥 RE:

> The more we fill our lives with complex, manufactured objects … the more important it is that they play well together The case for getting Meta, X, TikTok, etc to adopt AT Protocol or ActivityPub https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreicjydj6eqnfcjqhespf7xn74yl3e3qrqpyumcxbehztvuccceogcy
Today was the first day I really felt like “oh, this is how we win.” Should’ve been obvious. It’s not from investor money. It’s not from PR. It’s not sneakdissing other projects. It’s relationships. It’s community. Lots of folks pouring love (and money) into a community initiative. Reciprocity. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw&cid=bafkreif7yseienq5lxpqfxeqpwcbswoezx5nobbruoarjyguoaicqaouju
