(2/?)Which NGO do you chair? Any local groups/networks you're active with?Totally take your point about channel exhaustion. Which is why I'm keen to use something like Ghost, to integrate the shared blog into people's RSS, or email, or (in time) fediverse workflows.Also, I envision the blog - as NZCommons did - serving as a low traffic portal into what different groups are up to. Including contact addresses for featured groups (web, email, fediverse, etc), for people who want to follow up.

(3/3)Honestly, the most useful thing you could do right now for the prospects of an OpenEverything.nz blog, is to spread the word that you like the idea, and encourage people to pitch articles. If we get a good response to such conversations over the summer, the idea might have legs.I'm guessing @davemosk could offer a piece about the Christchurch Call? And that @thomasbeagle would be keen to write something about the groups trying to hold the government to the Open Government Partnership?

@aimee > Are you interested in science-related stuff? If so, I know a community you know may be interested in too, also new :)Definitely, wow! Science is the original open endeavor IMHO. So as with CreativeCommon, open science in all its forms, has got to be part of an OpenEverything.nz blog.Including Open access, open data, OER, open research methodologies, open scholarly social networks, and so on. As well as Free Code projects developing Free Code software for scientific use.

@aimee Love it! The Māori name reminds me there's a whole galaxy of Māori groups I could approach about pieces on a whole bunch of topics in the space. Notably digital sovereignty issues, which are rapidly expanding to include monetary sovereignty (eg CBDCs).Been taking notes here on who to follow up with about how these;https://community.iridescent.nz/t/engagement-with-maori-digital-sovereignty-work/96

Kia ora @mandylibrary, I know the calendar year is all but over and your may not see this until after the silly season, but I thought the OpenEverything.nz project idea might be of interest to you and the TohaToha crew. It sparked into being in a fediverse thread starting here; https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/113654370146932638

Glad to be of help @aimee.> Looks like my experiment predates itIndeed. Murmurations was a response to the fortunes of a lot of cool projects over the years, based around mapping interest spaces. At first cartographically (eg Green Maps), then online manifestations like yours.At the Open 2018 conference in London I met some of the people behind it, and heard a talk about the thinking that led to the idea of a protocol;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqfyAH0wiqQ

I'm still learning about this myself. I just know it's a thing. I allowed my Mastodon account to be bridged over Bridgyfed after it went opt-in, so people on BS could still interact with me.What would be good is if you connect the 2 accounts over a bridge, so they function as if they were one. But sadly that's not BridgyFed works.So yes, if BS is the account you use the most, I'd suggest opting in to BridgyFed with that, and encouraging people in the verse to follow and interact with that.

@aimee > I'm on Bsky because, tbh, there's just a lot of awesome stuff going on there, and I've found mastodon to be very quiet...Fair enough. If I was looking for noisy, I'd be on FarceBook or Xitter ; )I've been using the fediverse for more than a decade now. I also use XMPP, Matrix, SSB, and most recently Nostr. Because I want to contribute to the network effects of social networks that diffuse social power to the edges. For me, BS is not really that;https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

@strypey I didn't say noisy, heh (that's up to each user), but I do want engagement, or why bother? I also really enjoy the various feeds and stuff, and the fact that people are, for the most part, engaging enthusiastically and kindly is really lovely :)I got started on Matrix but it almost immediately just got really difficult for a non-expert to try use, which is a major issue - not everyone can or wants to have to become an expert to use services...

@strypey ...[ctd]I hear ya reyour goals :) I _also_ want to (and do) contribute to good stuff, obvs as well as engage with awesome people into various things :) I don't think I ever claimed BS was decentralised, but I do like their ethos around the protocol.It's not an either/or.Not sure the judgemental / condescending tone some folks use when it comes to fediverse / open source / etc helps, tbh. Nothing's perfect, everything has pros and cons, etc.

(2/?)I totally agree that moralising is unhelpful.I've been an activist for decades, starting back when it was all in-person argumentation. I quickly learned that telling people they're bad and wrong for doing things I disagree with - even for very good reasons - is counterproductive, not to mention arrogant.None of us have the right to tell anyone else what to value, how to think, or what will work in their life. These are things each person has a right and a need to decide for ourselves.

(3/3)A lot of people still use FarceBook, whether or not they want to, because of the very monopoly power and network effects that cause us to object to it. I try frame to frame this as a collective failure to organise around effective replacements, eg see the thread starting here;@https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/113800463892646181But I often see posts framing that choice to keep using FB as a personal moral failure. This kind of attitude solves nothing, it just alienates people.

(1/?)@aimee > but I do want engagement, or why bother?Fair cop : ) BS is having a moment right now, and I totally understand people wanting to get in on it. Which is why I encourage you to bridge your BS account, where you're currently most active, rather than twisting your arm to use Mastodon (or other fediverse software) instead.I've been in the decentralised social media game for decades, so I have strong opinions about long term viability. But I try not to mistake those for facts ; )

The Matrix folks are very aware of how important it is to make their system more simple, intuitive and pleasant to use. It's improved a lot in that respect in the 5 years or so that I've been using it.Matrix 2.0 looks to be a gamechanger, so I encourage you to give it another crack in maybe 6-12 months

should I run a pilot of a show under the name "Open Everything" to collect some listenership data?This is an idea I have floated around in various forms before. I once had the idea of doing it on Bikes called Bicyclists on Bikes talking Bullshit.This would kinda be an interview show but not really. Kinda like Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee but in this case it would be virtual. It'd loosely revolve around music since it would be on the Friends of CC Music YouTube/ #PeerTube#music #ccmusic

(2/?)I've long wanted to set up a replacement for NZCommons. With a collective of writers and researchers organised around regular in-person meetups, in as many parts of the country as we can set up.If I were to do it in 2025, it would be a Ghost instance. Ghost is lightweight to host, and easy to use, with integrated email subscription tools. Plus ActivityPub support is in progress;https://activitypub.ghost.org/openeverything.com would be an ideal domain name for a project like this.
