Hello,
This is a good move with exciting possibilities. The fediverse is in an
expansive mood right now with a massive influx of people; an intensely
evolving social space with strong anti-corporate sensibilities. A forest
with trees, paths to be explored - a refreshing landscape with a

Hi Goeffrey,
from a technical point of view, the problem with mailing lists is twofold.
First, maintaining a mail server has become progressively more work over
the years.
Second, what a mailman mailing list does is, essentially, rewriting the
header, ie making this mail appears as it came f

Dear nettimers,
I joined this list some months ago, have never posted but always read
with great interest and consequential enlightenment.
I of course fully agree with the argument about technical fixes to
social problems, but still feel that this is something that should be

Nothing brings the gently glowing embers of
nettime to life quite like the prospect
of its immanent demise, when the mods launch
one of their cunningly infrequent "shake-em-up"
interventions.
Whatever the outcome of this latest experiment
the kick-up-the-arse alone makes it worthwhile.
Thank You
Out of the woodwork we come.
My handle is @fl...@social.coop (https://social.coop/@flgnk) which is

side, but as a coop member I think it is safe to say 'we' raise money

Thanks for this. I agree with the outlines of what you say, and with most of
the detail too. Felix and Doma have their own perspectives, so this is just me.
I'm not sure what you mean about a recurring argument, but that's not to
suggest you're mistaken. As a mod, I probably see nettime
As I’m curious as to how well and how long and how populated the fediverse
might end up being in terms of a step beyond corporate social media , I will
definitely try the experiment. But I do wonder how all the servers and needed

Dear all,
I am grateful for the debate over many years on nettime-l. I also enjoy
everything that goes with email as a medium. But I quit all social
handles back in 2010 when Geert called to join him on Quit Facebook Day,
and I think I won't return to any platform, even if it is run as a

Hi list,
Point of order: The fediverse runs on the ActivityPub protocol, which is
specified and standardized in a W3C Recoomendation, which, while not ideal, and
not covering the server-to-client end of things, still is a good effort, and at
least as thorough and well-defined as the initial e-mail
Hello!
Just to raise my hand for "mailing list": I prefer emails and mailing
lists since I really like the features of email clients. A large white
space for writing is just great, and it is good to write without a
limited number of characters.
As a side remark: If emails are really that out
Hello all
This is probably the first nettime email digest I've briefly scanned
through since I signed up a year ago. Apologies, I'll get round to catching
up on the 181 previous volumes soon.
People were reflecting on the retirement home feel of the group, and how

Changing the system is a political choice. Any technology is politic.
Moving from email technology to web technology is a real politic affair
which contradicts the common ideas deployed in this list. Freedom to
publish, freedom to communicate. Equality.

There's a discontinuity in social media posts, and quite a bit of
attention-shifting, so Mastodon might not be the best solution - though
migration away from email does make sense. I find that I don't follow email
lists well - that might just be me, but I get so many thousands of pieces
