If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.


so what needs to change for movements to harden them against interpersonal spats and leadership capture.

clearly nothing so far (that can get "enough buy-in") has worked at scale.

related: rapid information channels that don't require everyone to join 600 different servers across 18 apps and websites because each group has membership with their own self-centered reasons for using whatever in ways that mean most of their work disappears when people inevitably burn out.

and people who don't believe in hierarchy keep reverse-conway's-law¹-ing themselves into one because of their comms choices.

¹ conway's law being your organizational structure gets reproduced in the software you write based on your hierarchy's group boundaries

in reply to @NireBryce's post:

this is in part rhetorical but i keep hearing solutions proposed that already didn't work, or no one cared enough to actually be able to get more than a few small groups using it.

but for movement work you have to aim greatest common denominator not what you'd like knowing everything you know.

otherwise you're also proposing the US' (dunno about the sitch abroad re tech literacy) most ambitious education project, which like, I'm absolutely not going to convince you not to but it's not a near term solution. it's already been tried. no one likes matrix. not even the people who are fans of it.
