-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ~club, the old school style community server is federating its instances with old school protocols. It really feels like what should have happened on the Web since the late 1990s.
Of course it does not address global surveillance and the protection of the social graph, but brings (Alan Kay?)'s prediction that communities revolve around the server into a renewed light. == hk - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Tilde.club! Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 22:40:25 +0000 From: tildeclub <[email protected]> Reply-To: tildeclub <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Hello there. Some time ago you signed up to join tilde.club, which is just a Linux server on the Internet. This is great--we'd love to have you be part of tilde.club! EXCEPT for one thing: There are thousands of people on the waiting list now. We can't support them all on one machine. But other people stepped up. They started their own tilde.club-style servers. We've started wiring those servers together via chat and Usenet news and (once we've configured it) email. Just like the Internet came together in the 1970s and 1980s. At this point there are at least 20 tilde.club-style servers looking for members. Here's what you do: 1) Go to this page: http://tilde.club/~pfhawkins/othertildes.html 2) Pick a club you like. 3) Sign up using the sign-up link. 4) Be a little patient, because it's just a person on the other side. These people will send you instructions on logging in. We'll figure out how to collaborate going forward. Help where you can! If you want to set up your own server, you can. You can use puppet-tilde https://github.com/nathanielksmith/puppet-tilde or just improvise as you go. We want each of these little servers to bloom and connect to shared services. I've decided that, for me, tilde.club is a place to learn and to teach. I'm going to start doing little web workshops, teaching people various things that I know about building sites. Drop me an email if you'd like to be part of this. But please be patient, it may take me weeks or months to respond.
