Welcome to the SocialHub, Piotr. You have landed in the right category indeed.
As pointed out there are movements towards support for a P2P Fediverse. This is development on the technical level, and in that you should also be aware of DREAM, where @how, admin of this forum, and @pukkamustard, of openEngiadina take part, among others. With the addition of P2P we are moving to hybrid decentralization (mixed p2p + federated), which makes the most sense as a model, imho.
But as you are referring to, there’s very much the growing societal movement that needs this technology to take further steps towards realizing this vision. There’s many people on the Fediverse aligned with these ideas, and even more people beyond the Fediverse that we need to make aware of the tech foundations we are laying here. And then there are related trends that fit right in, such as Small Technology, by Aral Balkan / Laura Kalbag and others.
In this category we are thinking about some of these concepts, and the technology that’s needed to scale them up. I’ve written the Spiral Island analogy to describe the grassroots ways in which this occurs. We embrace people coming from more of an infrastructure background to help create solid structures that keep us afloat (I also tweeted netCommons, inviting them here).
Some interesting discussions to refer to:
- “Community has no Boundary” : Communities are everywhere in real life, interacting in complex social structures. How can we model that on the Fediverse?
- What would a fediverse "governance" body look like? : How can we model Governance in the various ways it represents itself, and what governance models would work best on the Fediverse?
- Improving fediverse culture and social behavior : How can we avoid the pitfalls of the traditional social media, as the Fediverse scales up and network effects come into play?
- Is your participation in this exchange worth 2 cents? (PonyUPS and PonyXPS) : Brainstorming on micropayment schemes that would work best on the level of small-scale interacting communities.
- Offers unchained: Federated Offerbots : Offers are everywhere, go way beyond the eCommerce domain, but online Big Tech aggregators thwart their free exchange. How can we break that model?
With a more technical perspective:
- From silo-first to task-oriented federated app design : Moving towards an approach of software development where application boundaries fade, and software knits together into tasks and processes.
- United Software Development: A new paradigm? : How can we leverage the decentralized nature of the Fediverse and its unique open culture to maximum extent, to development practices where everyone can participate?
Lotsa things to inspire. Dive right in and add your own ideas to the mix
