@raelzero thank you, and thank you!

i think it's good to think about what it means to decentralize/distribute, and what in particular we want to distribute. @shevski does a lot of good thinking and writing about that subject via https://redecentralize.org/

“Breaking up big tech is not enough” - revisiting this great article by @redecentralize Irina Bolychevsky @shevski

Got here *just* in time for the start of the #redecentralize (un)conference!

Here's @asimong talking about decentralisation, standards, and interoperability at #redecentralize

Making a good point about imposed standards and how people in working groups often don't have a good understanding of the 'commons' and consensus/consent-based decision-making.

Discussions around decentralised identity, DIDs, and verifiable claims at #redecentralize

(I'm particularly interested in verifiable claims from an Open Badges and digital credentials point of view)

It's @soapdog up now at #redecentralize talking about SSB and how we can't just leave the regular web behind when we work on new decentralised tech.

#Redecentralize Unconf 2019! 🎉
with @soapdog 💙 & @baela 🦊

“…so if the future brings us to a Mad Max-kinda' reality, scuttlebutt.nz will be really useful… 🙄” — @soapdog introduces Secure Scuttlebutt at #Redecentralize Unconf 2019

“We can't expect to raze and burn the existing web, we need to take our decentralized technologies to "regular" web users — this is why browser addons are important, and why I started working on patchfox.org, a #Firefox addon that's a Secure Scuttlebutt client…” #ssb #moztechspeakers

Learning about git-bug which is distributed, offline-first, and integrates with GraphQL API #redecentralize

Tanktek up now at #redecentralize talking about bridging across systems

It's Irina now (organiser of #redecentralize) talking about decentralisation, Big Tech, and privacy. What can we do in terms of policy (breaking things open!)

Heading off from #redecentralize after some great conversations about ethics and UX!

In 'Patterns for Decentralisation' workshop at #MozFest. Great conversations at #redecentralize on Friday with some of the same people, so expecting great things!
