Vanmiddag een kleine update geschreven over PubHubs - het initiatief voor een alternatief social media platform van hoogleraren Bart Jacobs en José van Dijck, samen met @publicspaces : publicspaces.net/2022/10/31/pu

I like how on Mastodon the racists, trolls, misogynists, and right wing conspiracy theorists helpfully cluster themselves on servers together. When one hops in your mentions, a simple domain block stops them all with one tap.

@romyvandijk zul je zien dat organisaties die een instance aanmaken alleen maar Tweets crossposten en er niet echt aanwezig zijn of replyen oid 😔

Twee realistische manieren om dit te 'verhelpen': mastodon social wordt de belangrijkste instance waarmee het de facto weer een gecentraliseerd platform wordt (slecht), of iedere publieke persoon heeft een officiële, besloten instance van zijn organisatie. dus wierdduk@telegraaf.social, janpostma@groene.social, romyvandijk@investico.social (goed)

So, which Dutch cultural organisations have embraced Mastodon yet? There is @publicspaces of course, who else?

Now online! Introducing Zips to Architectural Design Practice, an essay on the applications and popularity of this material. Curator Ellen Smit examines Zips in the National Collection for Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning that we manage.

We believe in a more social, egalitarian, democratic and non-extractivist digital public sphere, where our content, relationships and personal data are not merely fuel for the profit engines of megacorporations and billionaires.

Trying out Mastodon today – and using our resources to run a server where others can create an account as well – seems like a step in the right direction. But please consider this a pilot project :-)

*testing, testing*

We are now live at our very own Mastodon instance. It's a good step on our journey towards a more inclusive and democratic internet.

Het Nieuwe Instituut is a testing ground for new designs and infrastructures. Consider this as a beta.
