@mdales Good point. We definitely made lots of mistakes (or overlooked risks...). @WebDevLaw looked at that side recently https://webdevlaw.uk/2021/01/30/why-generation-x-will-save-the-web/ How about #RC3 rather than #RC2? Rough Consensus; Running Code; Reasonable Consequences? "Reasonable" isn't the best word there, but I haven't found the right R yet :-) Recognising? take Responsibility for Consequences?

@amcewen @KevinMarks I think the counter to #RC2 is in terms of privacy and security, and how in the rush to an open web our generation bears the guilt of gifting Facebook et al the Internet. Perhaps though it’s not the methodology but the aims which needed to be one layer down from where they appeared. Perhaps I need to drink more/less...

Reading https://theadhocracy.co.uk/wrote/one-year-in-the-indieweb (found via @KevinMarks) and thinking about how the talk of #IndieWeb being more of a social movement echoes my pondering on the #makermovement http://www.mcqn.net/mcfilter/archives/thinking/is_the_maker_movement_a_movement.html. How they're both a bit messy, but tending towards action. Maybe the movement I really want is #RC2 - a random coining of "Rough Consensus; Running Code" (from the David Clark quote https://www2.cs.duke.edu/courses/common/compsci092/papers/govern/consensus.pdf). There's room for difference & imperfection, but we try to work together and deeds > words
