@grainloom yeah. we treat it like it's a very technical discipline, which it is, but it's also a very personal and subjective thing!

@sudoLife inevitably their solution is "well i would have done the entire thing differently, using a completely different architecture, or a completely different framework, or a completely different language, or actually maybe i would have made a completely different program that does something else"

the fucked up thing about programming is that nobody ever says "it's cool the way you use a for loop there! i like the way you named those variables, those are good names" the only say "why did you do it like that, thats the way a baby would program. youre a baby. and not even one of the babies who can program"

All good :) Are there many other instances like that?

Thanks! Looks like that list is somehow missing social.coop ;)

Definitely! We've just been trying to figure out which instance to join. @Antanicus suggested we set up our own instance as a place for our budding community to congregate, which we think is a brilliant idea! But maybe we should just create an account somewhere in the meantime. Any suggestions?

I think a huge missing piece for the fediverse is the ability to use your own domain name as a canonical handle alias. Meaning that once someone follows me (i.e. my domain mayel.space which would currently be pointed to my handle @mayel), I would have the ability to switch instances at any time without loosing any followers.

I think Keybase is on to something with their audit trail approach, though we need a decentralised implementation.

@jjg
Totally, been thinking about this a lot. Have some ideas, though haven't written them down yet. -

One of the big things I'm taking-away so far reading the platform #co-op book is that we really need a standards-based reputation/identity system.
I remember reading some protocol-level work on this a few years back when I was getting into #unhosted architectures.
Clearly something that demands a decentralized approach.

@dajbelshaw Of course.
I did say "membership-based association" meaning the power is should be in members' hands (which can delegate to a board).Anyway, I'm more curious what you think of the project, in particular the Open Badges aspect.

(I guess the main difference is that HAHA has no concept of ownership, as everything it does will be libre).

I hope it didn't sound like I was bitching (though I was having a difficult day). I actually would like to be doing *more* with #SocialCoop but have felt a bit held back lately.

Side note, what instance on the fediverse do you think would be most accommodating for a nonprofit project like HAHA? Not sure about #SocialCoop as we're not technically a #coop (even though we're a membership-based independent association)...

HAHA itself will be completely gratis and libre (#OpenAccess, #CreativeCommons, #OpenSource), and will focus on indexing and curating (and later producing) freely available #educational content.
Our mission is to empower humans of all ages to continuously follow our passions and curiosities, and become more enlightened individuals.

Proud to have launched phase one of HAHA Academy (an online #education platform @Gin is starting up):
https://haha.academy/ (make sure to check out the #taxonomy of human knowledge)
We're now officially a #nonprofit organisation (registered in Estonia, thanks to the ease of e-Residency) and would welcome contributions from volunteers (#educators, curators, designers, developers, etc) and donors.
Please spread the word, and get in touch if you can help in some way!

@mattcropp
That's not the issue. I don't know any other way, in fact this has been a relatively smooth ride.
