Some favourites:
– Ritualize Togetherness
– Contribute Freely
– Share Knowledge Generously
– Use Convivial Tools
– Rely on Distributed Structures
– Creatively Adapt and Renew
There’s plenty more.
(To paraphrase Audrey Hepburn)
"a kind of tool that is shared in common, and which expands personal creative freedom and communal interdependence"
My initial thoughts: sounds good.
The most notable critique I have come across so far is Bookchin (via Evgeny Morozov): "It didn’t make sense to speak of “convivial tools,” he argued, without taking a close look at the political and social structures in which they were embedded"
Anarchists often get caught up in the world of ideas, but right to repair gives us a chance to engage practically and I’d encourage all of us to get involved.

Some good talks/projects at the hackathon (https://www.aaronswartzday.org/)
– Bad Apple – holding law enforcement accountable and putting an end to police misconduct
– Open Library – an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published
– Internet Archive seem to be talking about decentralisation of IA
– Cory Doctorow talking about various things including the right to repair
– SecureDrop – whistleblower submission system to securely accept documents from anonymous sources
The built-in one (presumably the stock Android one) is a bit grating.

ColinTheMathmo (mathstodon.xyz)@bhaugen I’ve tried on multiple occasions and just cant work out what’s going on, how to use it, how to contribute, how to collaborate, or anything. I find the interface opaque, and it feels like it’s a read-only.
I know that whatever follows the C2 wiki has to be different and possibly more complic…
I had exactly the same experience of FedWiki. Couldn’t really figure out how/why to use it.
Reading about it (e.g. https://commonplace.doubleloop.net/a-platform-designed-for-collaboration-federated-wiki and https://commonplace.doubleloop.net/choral-explanations-and-oer-a-summary-of-thinking-to-date) helped a bit with the why. Not so much the how.
Then I played around with it again recently (thanks @vera@freethinkers.lgbt) and it suddenly clicked. Bit of a galaxy brain moment.
That said I probably still won’t use as a daily driver for now (Im wedded to my current paradigm) but can see now why I would.
