The Transition9 movement works for the natural integration of human and next-level artificial intelligence in harmony with a new nature-inspired computing architecture.
We've described Transition9 in rather technical terms to date.
The far harder challenge is writing about it in ways everyone might understand regardless of their own expertise, experience, and talents.
Here is Transition9's “Explain it to me like I’m a teenager”
@radicle looks like an interesting Free Software to check out: it’s a peer-to-peer, local-first git forge for the decentralized Web!

Today’s fellow for the #DWebFellowFridays is @f!
He attended several DWeb Camps, and he has been active in digital freedom movements for many years, we consider him a veteran of the #DWeb community.
fauno works at @sutty and collaborates with @distributedpress, brewing countless projects and initiatives closely connected to local communities and knowledge preservation for minorities.

Attending #RightsCon2025 was incredible, so many wonderful encounters and happenings!

Especially if you couldn’t be there, learn more about it by reading @mai’s recap article: https://blog.archive.org/2025/03/26/dweb-and-digital-rights-a-report-back-from-rightscon-in-taipei/
So far, I have been delving into the #Web3 and #crypto debate only superficially, as the very few notions I got led me to abhor any kind of technology related to the #blockchain.
Since I started my new job at @dweb, though, I am finding myself revisiting my position by deepening my knowledge on the topic. I am mostly drawing the same conclusions—crypto is terrible—yet I am glad I am learning more also on what I am very critical about.
I am particularly thankful to @mai for writing this article, which I believe is a great starting point to develop an informed opinion.
Above all, as mai points out, nothing is all-bad, and there are for sure ideas and practices that can be learned (as cautionary tales in the worst case scenarios) even from problematic technologies, communities, and/or founders.

@mistersql Secure data distribution isn’t easy, but there are folks who are working on it like @roblach and folks in the #DWeb community
Teaser :-) In my talk tonight on "Identity on the Open Social Web", I'll address the key requirements. We need:
* Identity that I can share,
* Identity that I can recognize,
* and Identity that I can prove.
The Open Social Web today is close, but not quite there yet. I have some ideas what to do.
This #DWeb Seattle event is now full hybrid. See you there?
I'm speaking to DWeb Seattle this Friday on "Identity on the Open Social Web".
It's an in-person event, but yours' truly is going to present remotely, so perhaps people can also attend remotely.
Thanks @nigini for inviting me!
SO I'm, very unplanned, got "stuck" in #amsterdam for a few days.
Any recommendations? Or fellow geeks in the city that wants to meetup and chat about #dweb, #foss, or digital identities?
Is anyone up for a #FOSDEM coffee meeting? Probably on Sunday before noon, we could combine it with brunch.
We'll set location and time later if there will enough people interested.
Lost a website?
Get your website back and make it more resilient with the #DWeb
We're offering a Resilience Grant for NGOs, non-profits, and individuals. Apply before January 13th in this form

Please boost or share with contacts who might need this!
@ireneista Thanks for articulating that so well! Agree and this is why I wanted to talk it out a bit- it bothers me that engaging in resistance against malevolent forces can have the effect of their aggression finding its way into your language.
I think there is also something to be noted about *substance*. Even in those moments of outrage, the difference I find is that fascist actors' anger is expressed as vague hatemongering or condemnation against a broad target demographic (indeed, that's core to the whole deal). When myself and other activists confronting this condemn actions or call them out, the difference is that we point *precisely*.
Seeing this #DWeb mailout written this way seems to me like a milder form of prefigurative recruitment- labelling these as "knee jerk call outs" is completely disingenuous when numerous attempts at peaceful resolutions over the years have been pushed out; and your "community has raised serious issues about [Justine's] past tweets from 2014-2015 about Jewish people, indentured servitude, and slavery".
That is a long-term problem being ignored and a bigot being protected by a movement's leaders.
It's also a subtle broad condemnation of the DWeb community members who raised those serious issues, and that's why I label this mailout a fascist act.
They are recruiting.
@internetarchive @dweb #DWeb communities: just set the boundary: #NoFascistsAllowed. It actually *is* that simple.

@internetarchive @dweb It has been reported back to me by multiple sources that at least 5 different people approached the core #DWebCamp team with concerns about #HOLO sponsorship this year, and that those concerns were misrepresented internally by senior team members. Meanwhile communities adjacent to & within #Holochain and #DWeb are circulating Balaji Srinivasan conferences.
https://newrepublic.com/article/180487/balaji-srinivasan-network-state-plutocrat
@dweb @internetarchive I will add that this #DWeb mailout is not the first time I have encountered the words of #AdrienneMareeBrown being misappropriated to justify the inclusion of hate actors; and that my other encounter with this rhetoric was with Harris-Braun. If anyone would care to alert her that her work is being abused in this way, I'm sure she might appreciate knowing. Pretty sure the false idea that if we just be nice to fascists they'll stop being fascists is not what she had in mind.
@dweb @internetarchive It has also been conveyed to me that he has taken gatekeeping actions to prevent discussion of #Gaza / #Palestine from entering the #DWeb community- the topic is perceived as being "too volatile". In my experience #HOLO's focus has always been protecting the comforts of privileged people and silencing the voices of the marginalised. In fact that is how they chose to manipulate me at DWeb Camp in 2022. My formal complaint states as much.
