Today’s #DWebFellowsFriday, is dedicated to Tanveer Anoy, a #DWebFellow at #DWebCamp 2024!

Tanveer founded the Bangladesh Feminist Archives (BFA). Their work centers on preserving and amplifying the stories of feminists, LGBTQ+ activists, and marginalized communities in Bangladesh.

As an activist and academic, they’ve spent years documenting these histories through oral histories, digital archiving, and grassroots organizing.

Support BFA’s ongoing fundraising! ⤵️

Today is Friday, and this means it’s time for…

#DWebFellowsFridays!

@EvanHahn was a #DWebCamp 2024 fellow. His work is very broad, as he worked with several different companies, including @signalapp!

Evan participates in the development of many #DWeb technologies, most notably he contributed to CoMapeo, an offline-only tool for Indigenous mapping and monitoring (https://awana.digital/comapeo)!

I got nostalgic, so I ended up browsing pictures from #DWebCamp2023, and I found these wild shots of me and @timbl. Almost two years have passed, and I still cannot completely believe that I spent time chatting with the creator of the #WorldWideWeb and that he autographed my thesis!

Unbelievable things happen at #DWebCamp.

(Thanks to @mai for the stolen shot 🌻)

Fun fact: @mark kindly came and picked me up at the airport and he drove me and TBL to DWeb Camp. The first thing they asked me about while getting to the car was this patch I had, simulating the hammer and sickle communist symbol, but actually representing a sickle popping open an Aperol Spritz. So there was me, super jet-lagged and hungover (because I had my last exam of my bachelor the day before) trying to explain what that was to the creator of #HTML and the director of the #WaybackMachine. It was super embarrassing but it is a great story to tell.

@liaizon @Trav Uuuuuh! Probably you saw my waterbottle from #DWebCamp 2023!

@cwebber Zaccheus is such a character! I really appreciated chatting at #DWebCamp. 💖

@internetarchive @dweb At this point I believe the journalistic community should be alerted to The Internet Archive & DWeb Camp's ongoing collaboration with hate actors. People need to be debriefed. There is a long history here of refusing to acknowledge cultural problems whilst meaninglessly touting the importance of EDI and hiding behind a set of principles that #DWebCamp and #TheInternetArchive themselves are completely unwilling to commit to.
https://getdweb.net/principles/

@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.

@dweb @internetarchive (Indeed, I know for a fact that #InternetArchive have physically hosted HOLO in the capacity of supporting far-right efforts at IA headquarters. On that year at #DWebCamp in '22, their co-founders were far too busy with Bierling and their problematic community manager's projects to give any of the diverse voices they'd brought along with them the time of day.)

@dweb @internetarchive Internet Archive & DWeb Camp were also aware of Brock's reactionary bullying, and of his tokenising use of fellow team member's (and their relatives) bodies as shields in refusing accountability for these actions and alt-right & White Nationalist collaborations.

These are the people they made their primary sponsors and champions again for #DWebCamp 2024.

@dweb @internetarchive None of the restorative actions I requested were ever taken, the person in question was never asked to undergo sensitivity training, and he remains a prominently displayed member of the #DWebCamp organising team in a position of power to this date.

#IFindHope in the way different communities are leveraging technologies to experiment with and build better ways of #relating. I am inspired by the #DWebCamp community and everyone working on #PublicAI, who continue to develop the foundations of a more equal, empowered ecosystem.
