I gave a talk on this recently: "Protocols and Purpose in a Global Democratic Crisis" https://c-tube.c-base.org/w/f9pF5pwxX8mVkmW2i3dU1M

What can we do? Is there hope? Is it possible to build something better?

Spritely was born out of this work, and the strive to create infrastructure allowing for "Networks of Consent". More on that here: https://spui25.nl/programma/we-can-change-the-defaults-building-networks-of-consent-and-spaces-of-joy-in-the-ruins-of-social-media

Social Media: We Can Change the Defaults

Christine Lemmer-Webber, best known as co-author of ActivityPub, the decentralized social networking protocol, will speak about the crisis technologists face. Why must we revise the default assumptions of the web 2.0 era? She will introduce the work the Spritely Institute is doing to make a positive future possible.
