Really enjoyed reading @ntnsndr’s article [[Governable Stacks against Digital Colonialism]] for [[node club]]. Makes a ton of sense to me.
The ability to self-govern feels key to any alternative to big tech that we build or use, and feels a lot like commoning.
And the ‘stack’ element is vital – what use would a democratically-owned social media platform be, say, if it runs on a server owned by Amazon and you access it on a device locked down by Apple or Google over internet from a big telco.
*!?¿*
And take it further, long-term what use is any of it if at the very bottom layer of the stack is a capitalist society.
