Exploring the Concept of Digital Socialism: Advancements, Possibilities, and Intersection with AI, Cybersecurity and Data Protection

Digital socialism is a concept that has gained attention in recent years, as advancements in technology and the internet have opened up new possibilities for promoting greater economic equality, democratic participation, and collective ownership in society. Combining elements of socialism with digital tools such as open-source collaboration, decentralized networks, and digital commons, digital…

Enter the FujoVerse™

Starting 2024's content creation journey with a bang, it's time to outline the principles behind the FujoVerse™: an ambitious (but realistic) plan to turn the web back into a place of fun, joy, and connection, where people build and nurture their own communities and software. (You can also read the article on my blog)

The Journey

As those who follow my journey with @bobaboard or read my quarterly newsletter (linked in the article) know, the used-to-be-called BobaVerse™ is a collection of projects I've been working on since 2020 while pondering an important question: how do we "fix" the modern social web?

Obviously the joyless landscape that is the web of today is not something a single person can fix. Still, I loved and owed the internet too much to see it wither.

After countless hours of work, I found 3 pillars to work on: community, software ownership and technical education.

Jump in after the cut to learn more about how it all comes together!

Community

Community is where I started from, with good reason! While social networks might trick us into thinking of them as communities, they lack the characteristics that researchers identify as the necessary base for "true community": group identity, shared norms, and mutual concern.

Today, I'm even more convinced community is a fundamental piece of reclaiming the web as a place of joy. It's alienating, disempowering, and incredibly lonely to be surrounded by countless people without feeling true connection with most of them (or worse, feeling real danger).

Software Ownership and Collaboration

As I worked with niche communities "software ownership" also became increasingly important to me: if we cannot expect mainstream tech companies to cater to communities at the margins, it follows that these communities must be able to build and shape their own software themselves.

Plenty of people have already discussed how this challenge goes beyond the tech. Among many, "collaboration" is another sticking point for me: effective collaboration requires trust and psychological safety, both of which are in short supply these days (community helps here too, but it's still hard).

Education (Technical and Beyond)

As I worked more and more with volunteers and other collaborators, however, another important piece of the puzzle showed itself: the dire state of educational material for non-professional web developers. How can people change the web if they cannot learn how to *build* the web?

(And yes, learning HTML and CSS is absolutely important and REAL web development. But to collaborate on modern software you need so much more. Even further, people *yearn* for more, and struggle to find it. They want that power, and we should give it to them.)

Once again, technical aspects aren't the only ones that matter. Any large-scale effort needs many skills that society doesn't equip us with. If we want to change how the web looks, we must teach, teach, TEACH! If you've seen me put so much effort into streaming, this is why :)

And obviously, while I don't go into them in this article, open source software and decentralized protocols are core to "this whole thing".

The Future

All of this said, while I've been working on this for a few years, I've struggled to find the support I need to continue this work. To this end, this year I'm doing something I'm not used to: producing content, gaining visibility, and putting my work in front of the eyes of people that want to fight for the future of the web.

This has been a hard choice: producing content is hard and takes energy and focus away from all I've been doing. Still, I'm committed to doing what it takes, and (luckily) content and teaching go hand in hand. But the more each single person helps, the less I need to push for wide reach.

If you want to help (and read the behind the scenes of all I've been working on before everyone else), you can subscribe to my Patreon or to my self-hosted attempt at an alternative.

I deeply believe that in the long term all that we're building will result in self-sustaining projects that will carry this mission forward. After all, I'm building them together with people who understand the needs of the web in a way that no mainstream company can replicate.

Until we get there, every little bit of help (be it monetary support, boosting posts, pitching us to your friends, or kind words of encouragement and support) truly matters.

In exchange, I look forward to sharing more of the knowledge and insights I've accrued with you all :)

And once again, to read or share this post from the original blog, you can find it here.

Hi!

I wanted to ask about the planned ActivityPub support that was announced last year. What's the status there?

//Also let me just say it's very admirable that you're keeping your ask box open, I imagine you're getting a lot of hate mail nowadays.

Best regards,

Berin

The latest efforts there have been happening more on the WordPress side of things:

Still committed to both Tumblr and WordPress.com supporting whatever open standards we can. This is a bit trickier than adding a new RSS feed format, though!

[praxis-app]

Praxis is an open source social network currently in development. All groups will have extensive voting features. The goal is to create a proof of concept for how technology will one day enable a radical, DIY, and decentralized democracy across the globe while also creating a small, online left wing community outside corporate services.

If anyone's interested in getting involved or just staying up to date on the project, feel free to shoot us a message on here or Discord.

[desert-palm]

Tumblr will add support for ActivityPub, the open, decentralized social networking protocol that today is powering social networking software like Twitter alternative Mastodon, the Instagram-like Pixelfed, video streaming service PeerTube, and others. The news was revealed in response to a Twitter user’s complaint about Mastodon’s complexities. Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg — whose company acquired Tumblr from Verizon in 2019 — suggested the user “come to Tumblr” as the site would soon “add activitypub for interconnect.”

“Don’t stress,” he said, before clarifying that Tumblr first has to deal with the waves of new users coming in right now from Twitter but that support for “interop and activitypub” were due to come “ASAP.”

In short, this announcement means Tumblr would move from being only a niche blogging platform to becoming a part of a larger, decentralized social network of sorts — and one whose user base has grown in size in recent days as people flee Elon Musk’s Twitter in search of new communities.

A Comprehensive Guide to Solana : How to Buy Meme Tokens & Using Solana Meme Coin Maker

Introduction

In the dynamic world of cryptocurrency, Solana has emerged as a powerhouse blockchain platform known for its high speed, low fees, and scalability. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or new to the crypto scene, understanding Solana’s ecosystem can open up numerous opportunities. This guide will explore how to buy Solana, delve into the world of meme tokens on Solana, and introduce you to our platform, SolanaLauncher, a cutting-edge tool for creating your own Solana meme coins.

What is Solana?

Solana is a high-performance blockchain that supports decentralized applications and cryptocurrencies. Launched in 2020, Solana aims to provide fast, secure, and scalable blockchain solutions. Unlike many other blockchains, Solana can process thousands of transactions per second (TPS), thanks to its unique Proof of History (PoH) consensus mechanism.

Solana: How to Buy

Setting Up a Wallet

Before you can buy Solana (SOL), you need a digital wallet to store your tokens. Some popular Solana-compatible wallets include:

Phantom: A user-friendly wallet with excellent integration for Solana dApps.

Sollet: An open-source wallet that offers advanced features for developers.

Solflare: A secure wallet with staking capabilities.

Purchasing Solana

Once you have a wallet set up, you can buy Solana from major cryptocurrency exchanges. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Choose an Exchange: Select a reputable exchange like Binance, Coinbase, or FTX.

Create an Account: Sign up and complete the necessary KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.

Deposit Funds: Deposit fiat currency (like USD) or other cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin or Ethereum) into your exchange account.

Buy Solana: Navigate to the trading section, search for Solana (SOL), and place a buy order. You can choose a market order for immediate purchase or a limit order to buy at a specific price.

Transfer to Wallet: Once you have purchased SOL, transfer it to your Solana-compatible wallet for security.

Exploring Meme Tokens on Solana

What are Meme Tokens?

Meme tokens are a type of cryptocurrency inspired by internet memes and cultural trends. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, meme tokens often derive their value from social media buzz and community engagement. They can be highly volatile but offer unique opportunities for investors who can identify viral trends early.

Popular Meme Tokens on Solana

Solana’s high-speed and low-fee environment makes it an ideal platform for meme tokens. Some popular meme tokens on Solana include:

SAMO (Samoyedcoin): Inspired by the Samoyed dog breed, SAMO has garnered a strong community following.

COPE: A meme token that aims to provide users with a sense of community and belonging, COPE has seen significant engagement.

Creating Your Own Meme Token with Solana Meme Coin Maker

Why Create a Meme Token?

Leverage Influencers

Collaborating with influencers in the crypto space can help boost the visibility of your meme token. Influencers can provide endorsements, share your content, and help drive community engagement.

Provide Utility

While meme tokens often start as fun projects, adding utility can enhance their value and longevity. Consider integrating your token with decentralized applications, offering staking rewards, or creating exclusive content or services for token holders.

Investing in Solana Meme Coins

Research and Due Diligence

Before investing in any meme token, conduct thorough research. Understand the project’s goals, the team behind it, and the strength of its community. Be wary of projects that lack transparency or seem too good to be true.

Diversify Your Portfolio

Diversification is key to managing risk in the volatile world of meme tokens. Spread your investments across multiple tokens and other types of cryptocurrencies to mitigate potential losses.

Stay Informed

The cryptocurrency market is highly dynamic. Stay informed about market trends, news, and developments in the Solana ecosystem. Following key influencers and joining relevant communities can provide valuable insights.

Conclusion

On August 12, 2019, Verizon Media announced that it would sell Tumblr to Automattic, the operator of blog service WordPress.com and corporate backer of the open source blog software of the same name. The sale was for an undisclosed amount, but Axios reported that the sale price was less than $3 million, less than 0.3% of Yahoo's original purchase price. Automattic CEO Matt Mullenweg stated that the site will operate as a complementary service to WordPress.com, and that there were no plans to reverse the content policy decisions made during Verizon ownership.[2]

In November 2022, Mullenweg stated that Tumblr will add support for the decentralized social networking protocol ActivityPub.[25] In November 2023, most of Tumblr's product development and marketing teams were transferred to other groups within Automattic. Mullenweg stated that focus would shift to core functionality and streamlining existing features.[26]

In February 2024, Automattic announced that it would begin selling user data from Tumblr and WordPress.com to Midjourney and OpenAI. Tumblr users are opted-in by default, with an option to opt out.[27][28]

In August 2024, Automattic announced that it would migrate Tumblr's backend to an architecture derived from WordPress, in order to ease development and code sharing between the platforms. The company stated that this migration would not impact the service's user experience and content, and that users "won't even notice a difference from the outside".[29]

Before we go too far, it’s helpful to understand what this vision for a better future of social actually is. “Decentralized social networking” is a heady concept, and it’s quite different from the way the internet works now. But here’s the simplest way I can think to explain it: to decentralize social networking is to completely separate the user interface from the underlying data. Any time you sign up for a new social app, you won’t have to rebuild your audience or re-find all your friends; your whole following and followers list come with you. Those things should be part of the internet, not part of an app.

Email is the best example of how this system works now: it’s based on open protocols that lots of services tap into, so while there are many email apps with different features and quality levels, your contacts carry over and will always work. (Can you imagine if you needed an Outlook address for your Outlook-using colleagues and a Gmail address for your Gmail-using friends, and then a Hotmail account just to talk to your aunt Gertrude? Well, that’s currently how social works now.)

A How-To Guide for Mastodon!

What is Mastodon? - It is a social network that is decentralized and part of the Fedivese.

Okay, but what's the Fediverse? - The fediverse is an ensemble of federated (i.e. interconnected) servers that are used for web publishing (i.e. social networking, microblogging, blogging, or websites) and file hosting, but which, while independently hosted, can communicate with each other.

Essentially, what "decentralized" means, is that each server in Mastodon (called "instances") is interconnected to be able to talk to each other on any instance but also each instance is a sort of micro-community of similar interests and/or values that can be managed as a smaller community within the Fediverse.

So, how do I use this? It sounds complicated! - It honestly does sound complicated and it's easy to get overwhelmed at first, but what new technology doesn't when you first look at it?

Let's take a look at signing up first! (long post I'm sorry, but I try to break things down as understandable as possible with pictures!)

*Note - this information is up-to-date for 4.0 version on Tuesday, November 15, 2022

So, first thing you might see when searching up how to join Mastodon is that there's tons of instances (or, servers) that you can create an account with. I'd recommend first looking at the official server page found here to see what kind of options you have! The biggest thing to keep in mind is that this list is absolutely NOT exhaustive and there are many, many more options than are listed. Ones that are even more exclusive to interests or cultures or other groups! You can search up your special interests in Google to see if there's a Mastodon server that is currently taking applications or are open to all account creations. Alternatively, you can use something like this instance helper in order to find an instance that is more geared towards your values and interests. Once you choose your instance and go to sign up, it'll look similar to this. As you can see, there's two links under the normal boxes for username and passwords and such.

Most, if not every, instance (worth their salt, I might add) has a list of rules and TOS that must be agreed to when you sign up. Please make sure you read these carefully as these instances are very serious about moderation.

Let me show you an example of what the rules list and terms look like from my instance (mastadon.lol)

This is all located on mastodon.lol About page. While your instance won't look exactly like this it may appear similar with the dropdown and explanation of everything you might need to know.

Now that you've read all the TOS and Rules, you're ready to click the "I agree" checkbox and create your account!

Now that we've created the account which is, arguably the hardest part, let's jump to see what your home page looks like and what all the buttons do!

Down the center of the page is your "home feed", in which anyone you are following, their posts will show up there, also anything that people you follow have boosted (boosted, in this case, means "reblogged" or "retweeted"). One of the biggest differences between Mastodon and other socials is that your Favourites (which are akin to "Likes") will never show up on other people's pages and do not affect any type of algorithm. It's just for you to Fav and the writer will see the notif you Faved their Toot (which is what we call the posts and yes, we know it's silly, but calling posts on Twitter "tweets" was also silly) and that's it (well, plus the little feel-goods that someone saw and liked it enough to favourite it!)

On the top left is the Search bar. That's one of the best ways to find people and topics you're interested in! Mastodon relies on a generous use of hashtags in your toots. You can also use the search in order to find people directly by their @ and server name!

Under the search bar, it's your handle and a quick dropdown under the three dots to ceartain pages (such as follower requests or editing your profile or muted words, etc).

Finally the last spot on the top left is box where you write your toots. Going clockwise from top left, there's where you start your toot, then ou've got your emoji picker on the top right of the box (including special, server-specific added emojis), bottom right is your character count which updates in realtime so you see how much more you can write, and then there's a slew of buttons on the bottom left: (from right to left as is clockwise) Language picker, Content Warning (creates a bar above your toot that you can explain what cw's there are), privacy levels (Public, Unlisted, Followers Only, and Mentioned People Only), Poll maker, and finally the Upload for pics/gifs/vids.

Now we focus on the right side of the screen:

We'll focus on the top portion in a minute.

At the bottom are the top 3 hashtags trending and roughly how many people (only in your instance) are talking about it.

Just above the trending section is your "Preferences" button. That will take you to your Preferences & Settings page which will have all the sliders and bells and whistles to customize your Mastodon experience to your liking. That might become another post but it is too much for this guide which is just an introduction.

Now we focus on the part that really seems to confuse people (including me when I started) - the whole top right section

(idk why it's not centering I'm sorry)

So at the top, is your Home button, as previously stated, this is the feed in which you'll see everything from people you follow and whatever toots they boost.

Underneath we have your Notifications tab where you can see who follows you, who favourites your toots, who boosts them, and any replies or mentions of you.

Then we have the Explore tab, as indicated by the little picture to the left of the word, this is where you can see what is going on. There are 4 tabs at the top of the page when you click it

Posts is all trending posts and boosted posts that are gaining traction on your instance. The Hashtags tab is similar but more like a top 10 of trending hashtags from all over Mastodon. News is what is being talked about by people on this and other servers of the decentralized network right now (kinda like Google News page which links to official news sources and websites). Finally, the For You is just a list of people who you might potentially want to check out and see if you want to follow!

Next we're going to talk about the following two tabs: Local and Federated. The Local tab will show you posts from just your instance you are on, it's a slightly more isolated feed of just people who share your interests. The Federated tab is a bit more of a free-for-all because it shows posts from all over the Fediverse, all different Mastodon servers will throw up posts as fast as it can (but don't worry, somewhere in preferences is an option for "slow mode", though with how many people are on Mastodon now, slow might still be too fast for some people).

Direct Message tab is pretty straight forward. It's where your private messages between other users go.

Favourites, Bookmarks, and Lists; all important all do different things. Favourites is the place where any post that you like goes to, as said before, it doesn't do anything to the algorithm, it doesn't mean your post will get shown to others when they get favourited, it's just a nice feel-good moment that someone showed appreciation to your post, that they vibe with you in that moment. Bookmarks are very different in that no one will ever be alerted when you bookmark a toot, they are there for you to refer back to when you need to so I would recommend being more selective about what you bookmark and periodically clean up your bookmarks tab. Lists are super important in that you can create lists for different categories of topics or users that you want to see at a given moment: have a Twitch list, an Art/Artist list, a Sex Worker list, etc! Lists will allow you to scroll through those feeds individually so you won't have things that don't pertain to what you want to check out at that moment.

AND THAT'S IT!

I have a whole slew of tips to give out but this post has gone long enough. I hope that this helped you and anyone you chose to share this with understand one of the biggest growing new social media on the internet right now.

You can always find me at this Tumblr, or on Mastodon at https://mastodon.lol/@bonitalissa or on Twitter (for however long it's around) @BonitaLissaTTV

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Democrat Kamala Harris doing what she does best:

Socialism

Rules for thee and not for me, as the saying goes, as Kamala undoubtedly has the Secret Service hide her and her staff from being on camera, committing felony breaking and entering, trespassing on private property, and unlawfully occupying private property. Why else the tape on the cameras?

This is a burglary charge for everyone else, but not if it's a Democrat Vice President who is operating above the law.

This is the real Kamala Harris. She's been connected to George Soros for decades. She does not work for the citizens of the United States. She works for him.

From George Soros himself:

“Operating under Communist regimes, I never felt the need to explain what ‘open society’ meant; those who supported the objectives of the foundations understood it better than I did, even if they were not familiar with the expression.”

What he's saying here is that he's supporting and spreading Communism because communists understand him.

“An open society is not merely the absence of government intervention and oppression. It is a complicated, sophisticated structure, and deliberate effort is required to bring it into existence.”

He means by force. Let's not mince words. He's talking about implementing his view of society by forcing it upon everyone. What he means by "Open Society" is one in which the intervention and oppression is performed by the mob as directed and rewarded by the government. This is the same government intervention and oppression one witnesses in Communism, which was implemented in Nazi Germany, but decentralized. It trains and teaches the people to effectively turn in others for violations against the State in exchange for a collective pat on the head.

Sound familiar? It should, it's called "cancel culture". It requires everyone and everything to be categorized. But rather than some agency of the governed do it, the people are told it's a good thing and to label themselves. Then, they allow them to establish their own rules and definitions. Finally, they are told to defend their ideals against outsiders and traitors to their cause as if it's life and death. They are told they're on the side of righteousness and grouped with others similar, and together they then force others to do as they say or be violently attacked and destroyed for the greater good of putting on an "anti-" pin.

You don't need a government to violently murder those who disagree; you just need a government that approves of mob vigilantes to do the work. Why else have Soros-backed prosecutors like Kamala Harris in states like California frequently refused to enforce laws to take violent criminal offenders off the streets? Why did they let mobs of terrorists call themselves ACAB assault, murder, torch, and thieve without any of them going to prison? It's to indoctrinate people to accept that if they don't agree with the mob, and the mob suspects them of not, their life and property are forfeit, and the government agrees because it looks the other way.

This doesn't mean the government isn't pulling the strings. It is. It's controlling the media and controlling the narrative in this "Open Society." It's controlling the education of the children to tell them it's right and good to do these viscous, heinous, and violent acts in the name of the global society's greater good. It's the elder elite who prosper while the rest of the young are destroying each other as useful idiots, lowering the wealth in their communities, murdering dissenting individuals and groups, all for only the price of Social Currency.

That's right, girls and boys, for the simple reward of getting a pat on the head and a belly rub by strangers on the internet, you too can be the best collaborator! Who's a good little collaborator? You are! Yes! You're such a good little collaborator!

Mein Fall ist abgeschlossen.

"We are a free and open-source platform to launch your digital brand, social network and mobile app. We are also a social network ourselves. It is a global social network of social networks. Available in either decentralized or centralized options."

Ah, fuck. Am I supposed to have a digital brand, social network and mobile app? Because I totally don't have those things. Shit.

Also this sounds really dumb.

Gonna recap on the whole project before I go forth with new articles, as to distill the "nucleus" of my speculative paracosm soon.

To include: Sensory details, "unique pitch selling points", unique cultural practices & traditions, linguistical differences, historical divergences, personalities & relationship dynamics, speculative evolution sapient species, history, lore, major events, myths, legends, technologies, magicks;

So, what really is this "16^12"?

It is a speculative campaign setting and desired reality "shifting framework" to immerse oneself onto as a long-term destination. Essentially a comfy yet nuanced realm with a vastly long diverging history & soft warm natural optimistic dark feel.

Decentralization: The future economic and technological landscape

In contemporary society, whether at the technical, economic or managerial level, the concept of decentralization has gradually changed from an idea to an important strategy for practical application. Decentralization, the process of reducing or eliminating centralized authority or control within a system or network, is increasingly becoming a key driver of innovation and efficiency.

Technology: The power of decentralized networks In the field of technology, especially information technology and blockchain technology, decentralization is embodied in the design of a system that does not rely on a single point of control or management entity. The Internet itself is an example of decentralized communication, where information can be freely transmitted between many nodes through multiple paths without passing through a central node. This structure not only improves the efficiency of information transmission, but also enhances the anti-interference ability and privacy protection of the network.

Blockchain technology has pushed this concept further. As representatives of decentralization, cryptocurrency platforms such as Bitcoin and Ethereum collectively maintain an open and transparent ledger through thousands of nodes on the network, without the need for a central authority to control or verify transactions. This approach not only reduces the possibility of fraud, but also reduces transaction costs.

Economy: The rise of decentralized finance (DeFi) Decentralization in the economy is mainly manifested in the provision of financial services. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is the use of blockchain technology to remove traditional financial intermediaries, such as banks and stock exchanges, and create and run financial instruments directly on the blockchain through smart contracts. From lending to trading to insurance, DeFi applications make financial operations more transparent, efficient and fair.

DeFi's strength lies not only in disintermediation, but also in its global and inclusive nature. DeFi services are available to anyone, regardless of location, as long as they have access to the Internet, greatly increasing the penetration of financial services.

Management level: Effectiveness of decentralized decision making In organizational management, decentralization usually means the decentralization of decision-making authority. Many businesses and organizations are increasingly adopting a decentralized management model, transferring decision-making power from a central management team to front-line employees or small teams. Doing so not only speeds up the decision-making process, but also increases productivity and employee engagement, spurring innovation.

Social governance: Decentralization of government power Decentralization in political and social governance refers to the localization of government power. By transferring power and resources from the central government to local governments, policies can not only be more targeted and efficient, but also better meet local specific needs, strengthen citizen participation and government transparency.

peroration Decentralization, as a trend, is gradually changing the way we work and live, especially in the economic and technological fields. Through decentralization, we can build a more efficient, equitable and transparent society. In the future, with the advancement of technology and the popularization of concepts, decentralization will show its unique value in more fields.
