Earlier this year, I spoke with the excellent folks at @logic_magazine about my thoughts on the decentralized web, digital commons, and solidarity economics, and how we created @COMPOSTmag out of the intersections of these movements.

Cory is the staunchest defender of authors' interests against the content industry's corporate behemoths.

His kickstarter is raising funds for his audio book in resistance to Audible (aka Amazon)'s iron grip on the industry — support him+get copies of his next book!

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers @TorBooks and @HoZ_Books, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. 1/

Had a great time at the @KERNEL0x Fireside chat last week. Shared my thoughts alongside @brewster_kahle on the @GETDWeb work and what it means to meaningfully "take back the web" https://t.co/foegPDo6Bu (I joined late -- you'll find me at around 45:00)

excellent thread on the history of fraught interracial relations in LA + how it was very much a product of white supremacist economic oppression through “divide and conquer” tactics

[Scott Kurashige @scottkurashige]

I have spent over 30 years studying LA history, while insisting that understanding relations between communities of color is key to the future of politics, culture & society. Some thoughts on that secret recording that is the talk of the town. 1 of long🧵

[mai ishikawa sutton // @[email protected] @maira]

very into the revamped @HyphaCoop web site.
Besides being a lot more clear about what we do, it's beautiful and that much ~ shoomier ~

[Hypha Worker Co-operative @HyphaCoop]

New week, new website. https://t.co/7bMZbeesf5 got a refresh! At last, more info on our work and who we are. Thanks to Adrian Kiva for his work on this over the summer.

[Spark CBC Radio @sparkcbc]

The web of the '90s and early '00s has inspired many nostalgic projects, but it's not just the aesthetics that people miss. This week, we take a look at the efforts to build a new, open, decentralized web.

Really appreciate how this new article by @kait_tiffany maps the ideological differences, similarities, and linkages between DWeb and Web3.

Also stoked to see @DigiDem @COMPOSTmag @dwebpress mentioned as examples of what DWeb is about. :)

community mesh network projects in the global south are doing more as "emerging tech" than any start-up venture ever will. we don't need progress we need foundational shifts in worldview
