Brilliant article by @profplum99 - I don’t think this could have been articulated anyway possibly better.

@yoheinakajima I loved chatting with Mean VC. I'm surprised it only took 4 turns to get it on my side -- the first response was brutal >_< https://t.co/IfFZFVXLrH Would love to chat with you about what we are building in public over at @hylo, hmu <3

Of course, what uncle zippy calls the "progenitor style" or what we refer to as the "colonial model" type groups will still exist. This will be a different group type -- we are still not quite sure what to call it. It's "democratic", and definitely we reverse engineered a lot of Ostrum's work, so it could also be a "commons", or "member-led".

bro I gotta show you our trust graph demo, this is literally how group roles will work on Hylo soon.

For each dimension of trust (role)
Let each person declare on a scale of 0-1 how much they trust someone in that role
Let each declaration be seen in the context where it is declared (transparency in-context: within a group, publicly or privately)
Let each declaration be modified at any time
Let the threshold of aggregate trust necessary to obtain a role be modifiable by all within a context
Let the trust threshold be set by the average and expressed as a percentage
When a person has sufficient trust, they enter automatically into the role, and obtain the powers & responsibilities available to that role
While a person maintains trust above the trust threshold, they remain in the role
When a person's aggregate trust decreases, due to others modifying their confidence vote, and falls below the threshold, they are removed from the role and lose access to powers and responsibilities.

This is v1. The model will eventually need entropy to scale -- trust should decay or have a cliff. This is the second necessary component to public online spaces that nobody owns, or can purchase. The second is collective moderation - which we already have a version of working.

Using HydroBasins or something similar, we will start recommending local groups to people. Each watershed will have buy nothing, mutual aid & disaster response groups. We will also be using RAG to recommend "crews" to people -- if there are, for instance, 50 people within 100 miles of each other that are all into regen ag, a notification is sent out to all 100 people that when 15 people opt in, the group will be created. When the group is created, it continues to be recommended to the other 85 people, and any new members who fit the vector will also see it.

Sending love, catch up soon <3

From the ages of 16 to 36, I lived near this park. My father also grew up across the street, next door to the old church on Haight. This place was very special to me. I moved away to bring a baby into the world. I was heartbroken to leave, but in the end it was worth it.

Here is a song that came through, in the last month I was there:

O fertile valley
I will miss you
Reaching grasping canopy
Kissing the fog with your eyes
In the whispering winds, swaying
With each breath, “I am alive”
You in the sun, receiving its life
Bathed in its beauty and indirect light
Mist rising from the seas and the earth
Caressing your face in the time between times
Coyote and hawk, some thought they were landlocked
But I know why they are here
Shelter and home, to those once alone
At once tender child, lover, brother, mother and crone
Birds brown, green and blue
Their voices in full chorus singing gratitude
Sacred forest in the heart of this town
Yerba buena, buena vista, gold and green crown
In the hush of your night
Moon dappled dancing, secret lovers delight
Closer you hold the scared and the bold
Bounty for the hungry, an embrace for the weak
Place of love, place of peace
Blessed slopes I am sad to leave
O fertile valley
I will miss you

@cognitivepolicy Our bodies are our first place, the bioregion whose health supports all of our actions on earth. Thank you for caring for this blessed world called Joe Brewer.

@realfrankwilder @real_n3o Love seeing you two succeed. Big hugs.

@cmilesb yes, this is a theme -- constantly wondering if ones presence in their home is an asset or liability on someone else's balance sheet
