If you're around & about on the 18th this month @ 19:30 CEST, we're having an 'ol ramble with some fine people at this panel + Q&A session
(Re)Taking Control of Virtual Spaces: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/towards-a-radically-accessible-internet-tickets-317746136247
Its the first event in a series of events from the wonderful https://www.londonlearningcoop.com
The Learning Cooperative presents the first in a new series of events exploring themes of democracy and its increasing absence in online, and offline, spaces.
While the creation of the virtual world started as an emancipatory utopian project, ‘cyberspace’ soon started to fall-under, replicate, and accelerate the same oppressive norms and structures that dominate physical spaces.
Join us for a panel and Q+A discussion exploring the problems of data centralisation, how data infrastructure has been (mis)used, and what we can do to destabilise anti-democratic platforms and practises.
reminder about this event TODAY at 1730 UTC (in about 30 minutes) by the londonlearningcoop.com, featuring 3 Autonomic members warbling about "themes of democracy and its increasing absence in online, and offline, spaces"

@autonomic Very disappointing to see a Zoom link for a talk covering democracy in online spaces, especially when just-as-easy drop-in replacements such as Jitsi and BigBlueButton exist.
@zabbeer as members of https://www.meet.coop we will be dropping some hints I think the event hosts are very keen on using alternatives! the dissapointment to organising energy converter is running overtime on these zoom-based digital democracy events
