• [[Flancian]] asks a good question on the social.coop tech channel - why does [[social.coop]] not use [[Mastodon]] to coordinate [[governance]]?

  • In my opinion because Mastodon is not very good for governance. It only has polls and even that is fairly new.
  • In fact I don't find Mastodon very good for even just conversation.
  • [[There is a layer of governance infrastructure missing from the web]].
  • That said, having two/more platforms to coordinate things is definitely a huge piece of friction to involving a community in governance.
  • h's mockups from way back when, are interesting: https://social.coop/@h/1868600 pull https://social.coop/@h/1870490 pull

  • Would like to read it as it gives an intro to [[Humberto Maturana]], [[Francisco Varela]], and [[autopoesis]].
