> I do believe we should state how we want people to use what we write and build structures that nurture the society we want to live in
@travisfw I do agree, esp. on the last bit. As "we should state how we want" is a) yes, a good thing to do, but b) falls flat afterwards in chaotic "herding of cats" #grassroots environments, esp. at scale where the true "nurturing online society" takes shape. This happens by #emergence, which is my focus area with Social experience design. Truly fascinating stuff.
PS. I'm curious which toot of mine inspired your reply, as its unattached. I hope to blog soon on #ParadoxOfEmergence and have created forum thread already: https://discuss.coding.social/t/sx-sustainable-ecosystem-evolution-see/836
> I've been using the Peer Production License myself
@lykso interesting, TIL didn't know about it. You may peek at #HedonicPeerProduction if you hadn't before: https://coding.social/blog/reimagine-social/#hedonic-peer-production
> Is this ☝️ the gist?
Sort of. You may say that #SX is a holistic approach to foster a fair 'fitness formula' in a #commons.
> FOSS has a very unfortunate weak spot in its foundation, that being the idea that “free” implies “without ownership” rather than “equitably shareable”
💯! Just dropped a #meme depicting how #SX considers #FOSS: https://social.coop/@smallcircles/116433599463361421
#Equity is the word. I wrote a blog on #SharedOwnership earlier: https://coding.social/blog/shared-ownership
Note, that "libertarianism" is emergent, comes with scale. I avoid the term for its political heat it often introduces, and how that stifles #solution-orientation.
> I make product actually meet the users’ needs, cuz damn, you didn’t!
It's funny how actual #Needs are often totally unknown, esp. in FOSS. The #technology then quickly exists mostly for the sake of itself. Damn the externalities.
Social coding commons defines FOSS as the pure software artifact. Code + an open license. Period. All the rest is #SocialCoding where all #expectations we have are either implied and unjustified, or warranted with mutual understanding. The latter is hardly done.
