    Almost done with week 1. I have been considering the space that this site can occupy; the sweet spot it can provide. Briefly, so far: adjacent to politics but not abstracted away by politics. Focused on real societal issues that contribute to enshittification. on the other hand not entirely consumed by the symptoms of specific enshittification instances. That is something that a place like https://www.reddit.com/r/enshittification already does very well, and with much feeling. coordination of actionable items, like fliers (education) , petitions (collective action), other campaigns. a promise to never enshittify this site and community we build. For those who know me from previous sites or irl, this isnt just talk. If we scale, we will scale in a distributed way that will be hard to enshittify. an interest in connecting all the communities addressing enshittification and strategies to combat it. We are all in this together. This site will always act like it without going too far down the rabbit hole, in terms of conduct, just be cool, dont crap on others, allow for revisions, this is a place to kick ideas around, and no idea is ever a perfect thing, but sometimes its good enough.

    This site is intended to give users a place to discuss the future. A site that will not turn into a pile of shit. This site will never monetize with advertising. As it scales, we will divide the board into smaller regional boards and pay all server costs with private donations. We will maintain this site as a group for this group! I’ve run an instance of nodebb (the lovely open source forum software which this board runs on) for a small community for a decade. That other board never earned a penny and we like it that way. No ads, no federated authentication. No bullshit. This board will focus on educating society about the forces that are dragging us into the Enshittocene. However, I hope you make meaningful friendships along the way, and this experience should not pretend to be linear. We are better together. A good internet can be done! I ask for your trust and lets build something distributed that will not fail.

    In a system dominated by corporate interests, those who do not have profit-driven agendas have their own set of strengths. It is important to acknowledge and leverage them: We do what makes sense, not limited by profitability and increasingly amoral algorithms. What makes sense resonates with people. They know it when they see it. Many of the things we seek do not require large sums of money. They only require communication. To overtly limit communication will be easily identified as inhumane, so corporations divide us through more insidious methods. But we have a global communication network that requires no middleman and can be reached instantly. And so we are here.
