Welcome to the [[digital-garden]]^* of [[ankostis]].

• [[PKDB]] - Personal Knowledge Database setup & TODOs

Seeds

You can browse current and past [[Projects]]. These are mainly small [[Vancouver]] focused things, I'm pretty busy as the founder of [[Fission]].

Starting with the [[Startup]] note, there are various operations guides, products, and recommendations to explore.

If I haven't sent it to you already, you should read [[When Tailwinds Vanish: The Internet in the 2020s]].

The [[Gumroad No Full Time Employees]] article is also a good read.

Microblog

This is the [[index]] of my [[digital garden]], which serves also as an entry point of sorts to the wider [[Agora of Flancia]].

If you are reading this in an [[Agora]] proper (e.g. https://anagora.org/), you should see each page rendered in context and with navigation aids. If you are reading this garden in its raw source (i.e. as a [[git repository]]), consider visiting https://anagora.org/@flancian to browse it with working [[wikilinks]] and other amenities ;)

A short introduction to the Agora

The Agora has two basic building blocks: [[nodes]] and [[links]].

An Agora [[node]] is a collection of files related to what the node is about, as described by its title. In this garden most nodes describe people, things, ideas, and other concepts. The file you are reading is in node [[index]] because it is called 'index.md'.

An Agora [[link]] is any concept in [[double square brackets]] that is found in an Agora node.

Agora Journals are just nodes whose titles look like dates, like e.g. those matching [[ISO 8601]] or [[RFC 3339]] dates like [[2025-02-04]].

A short introduction to this garden

The following might be interesting nodes to start browsing this garden, and with it the Agora at large.

• [[Person]]: contains links to nodes about [[people]].
• [[Agora]]: I write about the Agora often, in the Agora of course :) This node, like all and the Agora proper, is a [[work in progress]] -- but it should be a reasonable starting point to understand what the [[Agora]] is and what it tries to achieve.
• [[Commons]]: the Agora aims to be a [[Free]] [[Knowledge]] [[Commons]] for the benefit of its users and all sentient beings in general. A lot of my writing has to do with the Commons in one way or another, so this is a good place to start.

Beyond checking the resources proper, which are mostly but not exclusively text notes in [[Markdown]] format, remember to check for [[links]] in and out of each node.

How to contribute to an Agora

See the burger menu on https://anagora.org for succint instructions.

The first step to join an Agora is to start taking notes and maintaining a digital garden like this one if you haven't. For this you need an editor; See [[Agora editor] for alternatives. I currently recommend:

• [[Bull]][ ([[MIT]] license) <- start here by default as of the time of writing ([[2025]]).
• [[Silver Bullet]] ([[MIT]] license).
• [[Logseq]] ([[AGPL]]).
• [[Obsidian]] (closed source).

Then sign up for a [[git]] host, like https://codeberg.org (or the better known and decent but corporate-run https://github.com), upload your garden to it (this yields the nice side effect of keeping it backed up but under your control!) and send us its location and your desired username. See [[Agora signup]] for more.

You can also contribute straight from the [[Fediverse]] or [[Bluesky]] by following an account and writing posts in a particular format; again, see the burger menu on https://anagora.org for more.

For anything else

Please [[reach out]] if you want to try [[note taking]] or are interested in any of these topics and need help, regardless of whether you would like to contribute your notes to the [[Agora]].

Matthew's Index

Hi, I'm Matthew Thomas ([[@mwt/identity]]) you can find my things at [[@mwt/README]].

Hello, this index exists just for the Agora.

I'm Ryan. You can contact me at ryf@sent.as

This knowledge graph is a work in progress that will eventually become a specification for the unrival protocol.

Unrival is a protocol that can be used to create bottom-up, distributed social credit networks. These networks can track the credibility of their member agents, whose actions may lead to accumultation or loss of credit (a proxy for credibility).

Agents of disjoint networks with very different notions of credibility -- divided by political or religious differences, for example -- can nonetheless exchange credit, because Unrival ledgers implement the recursive credit-commons-protocol.

The intended effect is the rectification-of-names. In colloquial terms, this means making sure things are what they say they are (at least within the confines of an Unrival network)

Ultimately, the goal is to create a foundation for effective decentralized governance. We believe in rules over rulers. And since Unrival is adaptive, principles over rules.

To learn more, have a look at the whitepaper: https://github.com/unrival-protocol/documentation/blob/main/source/whitepaper.org

The front page to my [[digital-garden]]. Hi mom!

Welcome to the [[Agora]]!

Ahoy there!

This [[Agora]] is a [[wiki like]] [[experimental social network]] and [[distributed knowledge graph]].

• /nodes lists all [[pages]] in this Agora.
  • A [[node]] is the set of all notes and resources with a given title or otherwise mapping to an [[entity description]]. Subnodes (blocks) in a node can come from a variety of sources; they are resources volunteered by Agora users through their independent [[repositories]]. As of August 2021, these are mostly notes from [[digital gardens]].
  • /latest shows nodes by modification time.
• /users displays all users in this Agora. Click through to see their contributions.
  • /journals displays all subnodes that look like they belong to a daily entry (these are subnodes whose filenames look like dates, such as YYYY-MM-DD).

The [[wikilink]] is the heart of this [[Agora]]: wikilinks serve as a tool to indicate a social [[context]] assembled out of individual and group contributions. In this Agora, [[foo bar]] will resolve to every resource that identifies with entity 'foo'; in particular, currently every file named foo-bar.md, foo-bar.jpg, foo-bar.png, etc. An Agora tries to best-effort integrate user contributions while preserving meaning and volunteering interesting information. You can also think of it as a [[sequential wiki]].

If you'd like to join this Agora, please refer to [[agora signup]]. If you'd like to run your own Agora, please refer to [[agora install]] and/or reach out to [[flancian]], the maintainer.

If you're interested in knowing what's coming next, please refer to [[agora plan]] or join [[flancia collective]].

Have a nice day!
