✨ Have a look at these fantastic albums of photos taken by Cristán Gutierrez, who came back to camp after joining as an Internet Archive intern in 2023 👀 archive.org/details/@cristan… #DWeb #DWebCamp #decentralization #camp #hackercamp

💡 Get to know some of the incredible projects that got love and excitement at DWeb Camp! ✨ During our latest virtual meetup, we fought camp FOMO and embraced JOMO, the Joy Of Missing Out: you can discover what happened in the following recording! 🌻 archive.org/details/dweb-vir…

💡 For many orbiting in the DWeb ecosystem Neal Stephenson is a true inspiration. 📕 Join us at @internetarchive in San Francisco for the presentation of his work “D: Heavy Water” on October 15. 🎟️ Tickets required, 20$ each. app.gopassage.com/events/405…

Mmmmmhh what’s happening out there, in the “dark side”? In decentralised social networks? Join us at the super cool Berlin Fedi Day on September 11-13 at c-base! Ticket presale ends on Aug 24. fediday.berlin/en/

Unmasking and ultimately dismantling systems of oppression is the fundamental step to foster decentralisation beyond technology, for a just society. Thank you @Logos_network for curating the Museum of Civil Liberties to help us learn from the past, and build for the present.

✴️ DWeb Tokyo is now a full DWeb Node! 🎉 🗓️ Join the next meetup + Shūri (Repair) Cafe on August 18th. Free attendance, limited spots! RSVP here ➡️ luma.com/iiq08jzr

Two weeks ago Solibus e.V. got everyone to #DWebCamp and back. A grassroots project from Berlin, financed through solidarity: mobility for all, so camp was accessible to everyone. Danke. @ESolibus 👇

What happens when you put builders, researchers, activists, and creators in the middle of a forest for a week? You get new ideas. New collaborations. New friends. And a little more hope for the future of the Internet. @GETDWeb, you was incredible 🖤 Until next time!

Still buzzing from my first year at the legendary @GETDWeb Campout in Berlin! What a week of idea-remixing and relationship-building in service of better futures, making allies for @atlasresear_ch and scheming at the bleeding edge of commons-owned collective intelligence work. Very honored I was invited to speak. My talk mapped the evolutionary strategies employed by complex systems to successfully navigate information scaling crises, and the implications for our next, much more dynamic and #flourishing economy. Talks will be up on @internetarchive soon! Comment and I'll send the link when it's ready. Teaser: Most people working at the frontier of anything genuinely important right now share a specific, uncomfortable experience: the sense that the work that matters most — the work that is irreducibly contextual, relational, and hard to explain — is invisible to institutional incentive structures. Researchers who follow genuinely novel threads get penalized by metrics optimized for legible consensus. Builders who prioritize trust and care over throughput lose funding rounds to faster-moving competitors. Artists, educators, and community organizers are ignored by the very systems their work keeps alive. Meanwhile, the recommendation algorithms that were supposed to connect us have collapsed the information landscape, gradually narrowing the adjacent possible available to each of us and eroding the cognitive diversity that any healthy collective intelligence depends on. The frame this talk offers is a structural account of why these experiences are happening simultaneously, why they are symptoms of the same underlying dynamic, and how to see the very existence of the #DWeb ecosystem as evidence that we are on track for a total inversion of economic value. Drawing on twenty years of research into complex adaptive systems and major #evolutionary transitions, Michael Garfield (formerly Santa Fe Institute, Long Now, Mozilla) will recast our current economic, ecological, and epistemic crises as a transitional moment in the emergence of #TheLivingWeb: a future of thriving #collectiveintelligence enabled by decentralized sensemaking infrastructure.

We are *intentionally* not posting anything from #DWebCamp here. If you care about decentralization and open protocols, join us in the #Fediverse @dweb@social.coop, or in the #ATmosphere @getdweb.net. We are now going to stop monitoring this channel until the end of camp.
