My views alt socials rn:

Mastodon/fediverse: old school internet vibes, numbers matter less

Bluesky/Atprotocol: More modern interesting modularity, services imploding isn't a good look though

Futo's Polycentric: wow... I might as well be on X/Twitter this is somehow worse.

Consider verifying your accounts using harbor, a very useful app for building a cryptographic idendity that can be linked to various social media sites.

To my knowledge this improves censorship resistance, and also allows to easily gather donation ways!

Poorly the released App is currently only available here:

I want a #polycentric type system in my #programming language.

That is, I want the data structures to project back and forth between multiple type hierarchies.

As a result,
• One type system won't have to serve all purposes.
• Smaller, specific models can reuse terminology (not by include nor dependency).
• DSLs would be easier to write.
• Some services won't have to be broken out into separate code bases.
• All hope for perfection may finally be abandoned.

@Cat_LeFey This is why I like the #Polycentric #Polytheism model of Butler, it transcends the soft and hard versions of polytheism and negates them, to my mind at least.

Amazonian Polytheisms and Animism (Excerpt by Dr. Edward Butler)

"In South America we find many and diverse indigenous traditions, as well as traditions from the African Diaspora, which we will discuss separately. In the native traditions there is a sharp ecological and social difference between the forest dwelling, stateless peoples of the Amazon, represented in the reading for this unit by works of Yanomami theology, some collected by anthropologists and some authored by Davi Kopenawa, a spiritworker and advocate for his people and for the forest, and on the other hand, the Andean cultures of the mountains and seashore, which goes back as far as 3200 BCE, in which can be discerned a series of cultural phases, the latest of which being the empire of the Inca. The distinction between ‘stateless’ and ‘state’ societies, while of heuristic value, should not be taken to imply a lesser degree of ‘development’ or complexity in the former than the latter. In reality, all societies, having all lived through the same span of time, probably exhibit the same degree of ‘development’, albeit in different directions."

@rien The concept of #Polycentric is very interesting for this: cryptographic identities; you set up a list of servers to publish to, and they can choose which posts they pass on to their subscribers ("recommend"). This platform is still PoC quality though.

A screenshot of Polycentric dark mode. Users are identified by human-readable handles that they chose, but also a hash of their cryptographic public key. Every post in the "Explore" feed has an indication of which server "recommended" it.

@Em @AimeeMaroux As Euripides has Herakles say in the eponymous play.

**"Nor can I ever believe that one God is the lord of another.

A God, if he is a real God, is in need of nothing."**

Which works well with a #polycentric framework of #polytheism, I'd say.

Sovereignty of the Gods is shared amongst what #Proclus calls the totality of the divine set (pas ... theios arithmos), a manifold of Gods that are prior to Being where each God contains all of being.

@notittybimbo @darlingofishtar

#Polycentric is a term that's being used more these days, as 19th-century terms like monolatry and henotheism don't fit actual practices.

Here's a short intro:

@SimonB LOL, yes I've had thoughts on how the #polycentric nature of Proclus's polytheistic #theology is similar to the Fediverse model in some way! Every God/Instance is the whole thing, but in its own individual way that is revealed differently/in a varied way to other Gods/Instances.

@donnodubus @dianmanios Yes was going to say that extending from the Irish mediaeval literature context a God being Three doesn't negate a singular God of that name. Brighid & Lugh, the three sons of Tuireann, all have triadic vibes but in the pagan revival are worshiped mostly singularly when worshipped.

(In my modern interpretation I see this as the Irish & Gauls preempting a #Polycentric #Polytheist worldview but emphasis on *my* and *modern* there!).

Environmental governance systems are expanding in size and complexity as they become more integrated and ecosystem-based. In doing so, governance transitions often involve more actors and knowingly or unknowingly alter the autonomy of actors to make decisions, and thereby the ability of the governance system to self-organise. In other words, these governance systems are becoming increasingly polycentric, moving towards an institutional structure that is reported to confer a number of benefits to social-ecological systems. This article adds to a growing body of evidence on polycentric environmental governance in practice. It adds nuance to the normative and apolitical portrayals of governance transitions in general, and transitions towards more polycentric forms of governance in particular. We analyse the relations amongst actors and historical development of four large-scale marine governance systems in Southeast Asia to understand how context, particularly power, shapes the emergence and evolution of polycentric marine governance in practice. Our data indicate that transitions towards increased polycentricity do increase diversity and autonomy of decision-making centres, which can enable more innovation or flexibility to respond to changing circumstances.
