All the music curated for the Subvert alpha is so much cooler than I am! I feel like I have to drop everything and give myself a sonic education by listening to everything by every one of these artists !!

#FreeOurFeeds – help secure the future of social media
We are determined to free social media from billionaire control
Social media once promised to be a global public square, connecting communities and sparking creativity. Yet it is now under the control of a few billionaires, used to advance their own political and business objectives.
Building on the foundation built by the BlueSky team, we are launching project #FreeOurFeeds to create a new future for social media, that gives power and choice back to people.
Free Our Feeds will establish a new, independent foundation to secure the future of social media with independent infrastructure and an ecosystem of innovation and applications on top of open technology.
The funds will be used to:

#Brazil #PlatformCooperativism: "This article theorizes about how platform cooperativism is landing in Brazil, challenging dominant notions and presenting a more diverse meaning of worker-owned technologies from below. Drawing on research with platform co-ops under construction in Brazil, the article argues that, in Brazil, platform cooperativism does not necessarily present itself as either a cooperative or a platform. They are prototypes and experiments of worker-owned technologies anchored in local communities and their values. Instead of all these experiences being condensed and captured from Global North epistemic frameworks, there is the production of knowledge by the workers in search of autonomy. The article analyzes potentialities and critiques of platform cooperativism, especially from three dimensions of critique (economics, politics, and technology). It presents perspectives towards diversifying and expanding the meanings of technology in/from Latin America for understanding worker-owned technologies. It discusses two examples of worker-owned technologies: Senoritas Courier and the Homeless Worker Movement."

> Mind-meltingly rare to find both of those in one (sustainable) place at the same time
This is an excellent summary of one chronic problem with ethical tech movements (#FreeSoftware, #OpenSource, #Indymedia, #PlatformCooperativism). We've created structures that help us get the intent right (free licensing, realtime feedback and collaboration, open publishing, internalised ownership). But the cultural competence to mainstream all this, is often lacking.

I end with a return to Ivan Illich's philosophy of technology and his notion of 'convivial autonomy' to argue that #PlatformCooperativism offers the best option today to rekindle the promise of worker autonomy. 3/5

Nice chat with Open Food Network folks this morning -- great to see the network growing. I feel like OFN has staying power while the many VC backed platforms will end up fading. BUT only if we organize it.
...I still haven't read that book (nor have I bought it yet), but maybe I should...
I am exited for #platformcooperativism / #platformCoops ever since I heard about it via #Fairmondo.
Is there a creative platform / payment platform ( like #Steady, #Patreon, #Liberapay...), but as a #PlatformCoop?
I'd like to have that! ( I'm ok with the platforms I use making money - I just want to have the possibility to (co-)own it as well! )
Is #OpenCollective such a solution?
About to join a Webinar on Distributed Governance, organized by @daspitzberg @ntnsndr and others. Seems like it will be recorded.
Hate to link to FB here, but this event on May 7th with @Manuela looks really interesting:
"This is an open invitation for everyone who currently seeks orientation and guidance in building a cooperative project. The kit that we are going to propose is in an early stage of development, though already functional and inspiring to use..."
