Chicago.com will host the network, which will be powered by #Roundabout, the local community platform incubated by New_ Public over the past year. The partners will launch five neighborhood pilots this fall, and will recruit paid, contract “community stewards” to moderate conversations in each neighborhood.”https://www.niemanlab.org/2026/08/can-public-media-build-its-own-social-media-chicago-public-media-teams-up-with-new_public-to-try/

At the top of its agenda is a standard designed to make server #migration seamless: #LOLA (Live, #OnlinePortability ). In this article, we examine how the LOLA specification works, why seamless account #portability is the missing pillar of the #openweb, and how it compares to alternative models like the AT Protocol's Personal Data Servers ( #PDS ).”https://opensocialbiz.com/articles/right-to-leave-w3c-lola-fediverse-account-migration

- "#Socialmedia on #bigtech platforms isn't about sharing what we love and connecting with others anymore. It has become an ad platform on which everybody seems to have to build a "personal brand" – and with that, professionalise and monetise what you once just did for fun and relaxation. #Platforms that are optimised to sell your life to ad companies have grown users who are more than willing to sell their lives to feel seen. Gain attention, force engagement, be relevant."https://blog.sturmsucht.de/a-new-social-me/

Nightshade is a tool that adds a 'poison' to digital art files to pollute datasets when images are used for AI training. Now a type foundry and creative agency have done something comparable for #typography, creating a #typeface that anyone can use to shield their work.”Edited: Unfortunately, it's got some major accessibility problems — https://caneandable.social/@WeirdWriter/117031884001259326https://www.creativebloq.com/design/fonts-typography/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai
- “All of the speculation and hype around #AI is hiding the fact that the technology isn’t just large language models or agents or data centers. It is the backbone of a #superstructure that merges #regressivepolitics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological #innovation. Put simply, there is too much money, some of it too untraceable, giving a small group of unelected people too much power over the people. That’s #datapolitics.”https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/opinion/artificial-intelligence-data-politics.html?unlocked_article_code=1.2lA.e4gQ.zpTd44HXAGYq&smid=nytcore-ios-share
