Our Foundation was founded to protect knowledge sharing across social media.

We aim to defend and grow peer to peer learning, first-hand accounts, and credible voices across open social networks.

That's why we care so much about the open social web. It's an open social network which puts community first, letting you learn from the people around you in the digital space.

We're proud to be here.

To all those warning of a coup in the US, it’s too late! What needs to be discussed is how to take back our government. And I don’t mean going back to the status quo of the pre trump era of politics. That is what got us here.

Just a few ideas to start the discussion.
1. Reign in the oligarchy.
2. Implement and enforce anti monopoly policies. Block the merger and acquisitions that lead to consolidation of industries.
3. Revise the tax code. End corporate loopholes, investor class loopholes and special interest groups loopholes including religious organizations.
4. Institute data privacy protections
5. Change the way the judicial branch operates. End life time appointments and change how judges are appointed.
6. Change the licensing process for media companies including so called social media.
7. Confront the distortions in society have created a permanent segregated society for large sections of society.
8. Confront the epidemic of poverty and homelessness nationwide.
9. Institutes a universal healthcare system. Take health care out of the hands of employers.
10. Institute a policy of research and development on a national scale. The US will not be able to compete, let alone win global competition with a population of ignorant religious fanatics. Expertise is what we should strive for.

Dear Fedi: please help me to help you. With all the clusterf*cks and fascist coup happening in the US: what data is important to preserve and keep spreading?

Already have been seeding the CDC dataset and Wikipedia dumps into oblivion (couple of hundreds of TBs of traffic) - but I'd like to do more.

If you know important projects that need this kind of help - preferably less than a TB in size - please share!

(boosts appreciated for visibility)

Listen! #Knowledge coming from #museums:
"#ActivityPub is plumbing. It is plumbing built on top of the web, which coordinates the ability for independently operated services, for example a collection of federated social media services, to exchange messages with each other in a decentralized manner.
So #SFOMuseum has built its own ActivityPub server for publishing #socialmedia style messages.
In doing so, it means that we can(& have)created social media accounts for 60,000 objects in our collection including this roll of #HelloKitty toilet paper from #EvaAirlines."
