@aral a reaction to your post https://hamishcampbell.com/the-mess-we-made-with-the-dotcons/ good points about twitter and the mess we make.

@aral @serapath

OK so it clearly comes from the #web03 mess, I was smelling this, good to have a link, thanks @aral

Like most blockchain mess, they have stepped away... now the question is the tech they have built useful or useless, can it be run as unbranded community projects? Rather than branded #NGO tech fail. Anyone have information on this, please?

@serapath can I ask who is funding this new outreach of #dat tech dev, this usually can be used to find out if the is hope or fail of #NGO tech projects.

The #nostr crew are the children of #web3 mess, they are a bit reformed, let's see.

Then the #BlueSky are the reformed children of the #dotcons

The #fediverse is the child of the #openweb

@serapath that's an interesting one as torrents still technically work, and the infustrcurtue is still online, though riddled with ads and SPAM. So while technically this is still functioning, it is socially degraded and pushed into the shadow by the #dotcons like Netflix and Amazon Prime etc.

"* #p2p was the poster child of the era of the #openweb it was caught in the quicksand of legal issues, the shadow that was left was eclipsed by "free to use" #dotcons Now finds it hard to come back due to mobile devices not having an IP address, thus most people not actually able to use p2p reliably."

An example of this, my torrent client is regularly blocked by my mobile internet provider - I live on a boat, and yes I do get round this but most people would stumble when this happens.

@serapath

This dat stuff is wearied, they have had huge funding for little outcome https://github.com/dat-ecosystem-archive/organization

It's the NGO crew feeding on foundation money, https://opencollective.com/dat phwww. Is any of this tech any use at all... likely not, but hard to say.

@serapath what are you guys working on for a socially useful project https://playproject.io/#ourContributors in the era of #climatchaos we need stuff that works/people use/works circal. just tech is not anything without social use, outreaching like you are doing with me is a conversation... can you hear what I am saying is real social outcome leading to use :)
