In an analogy to cell biology, does #FOSS represent primordial soup? Or does it form organisms, with organs and skeletons that evolve? Is it maybe even an intelligent organism, aware of the world? Is a single FOSS project an autonomous cell, involved in protein exchange with its environment to sustain itself? Or is more like RNA viral matter, used for good and bad purposes, gratis. #sx

#FOSS = free software + *gratis* contributions ???

Totally. I started #SocialCoding movement at https://coding.social and https://discuss.coding.social
Coding is social and if working on social networking solutions "social coders social code the social code" 
Exploring some fascinating subjects, like Social experience design #SX, Sustainable open social software / systems / services #SOSS, Free software development lifecycle #FSDL and hedonic peer production (a method that the movement 'self-services' i.e. dogfoods, among others.
Social Coding MovementJoin the Social Coding MovementSocial Coding is participatory free software development that is inclusive to all people and focused on addressing real human needs.

Discuss Social Coding · A new approach to "Social Networking" in the Fediverse?Welcome to this forum Sirius, you are a social coder now and part of the movement! 🤗 Don’t worry about naive. There is no such thing, Your post is spot on and in the most useful language: people talk, not tech talk which comes later. Besides, most naive posts likely already mine where they seem utopian and I claim they are not. 😜 “Common ground” is a great name, and as students you are uniquely positioned to bootstrap initiatives like these. It is easier to h...

Social experience characteristics:
- Incredible unusability (for users)
- Extreme delight (for people)

Hell yeah, stop this weird alienating language of "User". Stop it. It is ridiculous.

I am not advocating to throw tech at things and see what sticks to the wall. That I call what others dogmatically pursue and think is what people want: #DigitalTransformation
We live in a #technosphere and a big chasm of missing #sociosphere must be bridged.
I'm hobbying along here in #fedi advocacy for years hoping to share dreams of #peopleverse. This I now continue at #SocialCoding movement under the flag of #SocialExperienceDesign (or simply #SX)

@frankstrater @dansup @peertube
It is the road to toxicity only if your social experience design allows it to be.
One thing where the next-gen #SocialWeb must focus is how to 'weave' an app's #UX seamlessly with that of the next app. Not on narrow integration pipes, and hope and pray that feature sets on both ends of the #UI line up. But based on #SX #BusinessDomain models that are commonly accepted and that focus on addressing needs and fitting in with common patterns of #social interaction.

@luis_in_brief agreed. I am stepping off of the notion of being FOSS activist in the traditional sense of the word.
#FOSS in a new definition I reserve solely to arranging the #copyright and other #legal matters relating to the delivered artifacts of a project.
Then the real deal is #SOSS where a holistic #sustainability-first approach is taken to #FreeSoftware #development, that covers the entire #lifecycle.. from hobby #project up to foundational #technology or mega #SocialWeb platform.
Ever wondered how a Volkswagen was made and how fast it rolled off the production line, or something as complex as a space shuttle? Big industry can do what foss can only dream of. Foss devs cannot dream of a well choreographed grassroots ecosystem, because there aren't examples to follow, other than ones that devolve in hierarchic power structures. Foss is a failure, and where it is not it is survivor bias.
Hedonic commons-based peer production is needed.

#Pledgewashing anti-pattern 
An #sx social coding channel excerpt ..
#Reminder: Wicked #solutions are holistic. Collab direly needed. Lend #SX #commons support.
Explanation to the Pyramids of #HumaneTechnology diagram sits in the #ALT4you ..
#SocialExperienceDesign is pragmatically based on existing show-dont-tell #technosphere and its societal disruption machine. #SX focuses on #sociosphere to bridge tech-to-#people chasm and realign tech-to-#humanity
Does society have social experience?
Does activism count as social experience? Can urgency be JIT lazy-loaded?
Do intrinsic solutions exist?
Can we weave social fabric?
Can we spark commons?
If a technosphere brings new fediverse, can a sociosphere renew our universe?

What is Hormone Replacement Therapy? (Download and archive this video.)
A hormone is a chemical messenger made by your body to send signals to some or all body cells. Some hormones are made in other bodies or through chemical processes, like other medications.
HRT is a medical treatment for certain conditions, including menopause for some people, or precocious puberty for others.
(Mostly) Older men and women also use it to affirm their gender experiences.
HRT has certain side effects on your body. You may find these desirable or unpleasant.
Any medical intervention can have therapeutic effects and side effects. Different people experience different outcomes.
Do you want or need to biohack your hormone levels to affect your body?
Please learn more from your GP, family doctor, primary care provider, or another trusted clinician with access to your personal medical records.
Some of the waiting lists can be quite long, or involve more steps than you may expect. So ask early, please!

from the vid: gender affirming care is suicide prevention. It's also preventative care against diseases of despair.

I'd invite you to "feel" yourself part of social coding movement then (there's no membership) which has a mission to figure out the "social code" align #technosphere to #sociosphere and build social layers of our open social stack 
Core focus is Social experience design, #SX a completely new and open field and niche to explore.
We have a forum: https://discuss.coding.social
And #matrix chatrooms going:

Tegenlicht is always a delight. Shining bright in #Dutch TV landscape. For those interested in the theme, watch @bret splendid "The Future of Programming" video and imagine it were titled "The Future of Social Networking instead.
