"In this paper we presented Cwtch, a protocol for building metadata resistant applications based on Ricochet. The protocol solves a number of open problems with contemporary metadata resistant designs, providing asynchronous, anonymous multi-party communication through the use of untrusted,
discardable infrastructure.
We have released an open source prototype of Cwtch which can be found at https://cwtch.im/ ."

"Hedge funds and asset managers scraping the web for investment purposes represented 5% of all Internet traffic in 2018, and is expected to increase rapidly. As investors look for new ways to beat the market, total spending on web scraping for investment purposes is expected to exceed $1.8 billion by 2020."

DEADLINE EXTENSION // CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

After three years of (semi) regular existence, it is now high-time that the Pervasive Labour Union zine takes a very close look at the universe of the alternatives to corporate social networks.

What do these alternatives look like? What are the requirements of a 'true' alternative?
The Pervasive Labour Union zine already broached some of these topics on its Special Issue with the Homebrew Server Club on #XMPP. To follow the HBSC’s strategy, a premium should be put on alternative approaches, not on any specific alternative apps.
We need #federated social networking solutions based on open standards that are able to communicate among themselves, regardless of the platform being used.

Which protocols can and are being developed to achieve interoperability between the different alternatives? How do scale and trust influence the field? What are the forces at play within this realm and how to engage with them?
With this issue, we propose not only to collect a field guide of sorts, but also to open up the discussion on the alternatives and how to tackle the challenges posed by network effects, scalability and financial viability.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: March 15th

When the angel sleeps... The demon awakens

OH NO! CARMEN SANDIEGO HAS STOLEN YOUR motivation!

Oh yeah, maybe you're like "WTF is this Spritely thing, I haven't heard of this before now...???"

Well I have talked about it a bit, but not enough... it's been in the planning stages for a while, and as of this week, starting to ramp up into the execution space. Read more here: https://dustycloud.org/blog/spritely/

Other feedback regarding what you know about #xmpp and/or #matrix from an #accessibility perspective is also very welcome!

We're gathering feedback in order to make a good move away from Discord asap.

If there's other #FLOSS recommendations which serve a similar purpose they are also welcome.
