W Social is TruthSocial with a European accent.
Different politics, identical structure: wealthy insiders, community infrastructure they didn't build, and openness performed just long enough to matter. The establishment always wants its own internet.

Signing off from the Hack Club community
The end of an era, I guess. Even if this feels more lonelier while autistic online, don't worry about me either way.

Open data at data.gov.uk
The British equivalent to Obama’s data.gov opened today. Over at ReadWriteWeb, Marshall Kirkpatrick points out the scale of the ambition involved: At launch, Data.gov.uk has nearly 3,000 data sets available for developers to build mashups with. The U.S. site, Data.gov, has less than 1,000 data sets today. […][Unlike the US equivalent, the site] includes 22 military data sets at launch, including one called Suicide and Open Verdict Deaths in the U.K. Regular Armed Forces. However, these are ra

Johannes Ernst contrasts the Yahoo/Facebook deep integration announcement with the US government’s announcement that they will spend $235 million on integrating incompatible healthcare IT systems, and asks some pertinent questions: I assume we all agree that an environment in which leading-edge companies innovate on their own to the benefit of their customers is better than one in which the government has to spend large amounts of mo

If you're interested, I suggest you take a look at the BarCamp Transparency wiki and throw your name into the ring. I was asked if I'd help organise, and while I can't provide as much time as I'd like to due to prior commitments,

The mechanics of "open"
Since we started Elgg, I've always kept a very open philosophy about how the software should work. From the human perspective, we wanted it to be as inclusive as possible, with an easy-to-use interface and innards that allowed you to do very technical things (like, in Elgg 0.x, republishing aggregated RSS) with very little knowhow. From the organizational perspective, we didn't want there to be a barrier to entry; we released it under the GNU Public License and allowed anyone to download and ins
