What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

The fediverse is flawed (lemmy.ml)

People view the fediverse as the final solution to the structural problem of the internet. I dont think so.

I am an technoanarkist from a human perspective. I believe in the human web and the community web, where nodes represents people and communities.

The ideology of the fediverse is that if an instance can federate, its good. Its equally flawed as saying the adoption of open software will lead to digital freedom. This is one of the reasons Stallman couldnt mobilize for digital freedom. They didnt have a human understandable vision.

We need to think further than just the technical aspects if we want people power in cyberspace.

I believe we have to stop to look to those in power and instead look to our communities. What do they want? What does people want? What does organizers and communities want? We should develop the web with people and communities demands in mind.

The web should be a tool to strengthen communities and empower people.

The web has the potential to destroy the world and be its savior. It depends on the structure.

Controversial headline, some borderline incomprehensible mumbo jumbo in the description that can be interpreted in multiple ways... Sounds like someone is training GTP-3 on trolling techniques 😰

Wait, how exactly is this not the fediverse?

[–] glorpster@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I don't really think you're getting your point across very well. After reading your post, I don't really understand WHY you think the fediverse is flawed and I also don't really understand what your solution/alternative vision to that is supposed to look like.

Yeah the fediverse is very flawed. Who said it isn't? But it's way better than currently available alternatives.
