Działamy, aby wspierać twórców i twórczynie, którzy odrzucają komercyjne kompromisy, bronią autonomii swoich przekazów i budują alternatywne modele dystrybucji oraz współpracy. Wydarzenie jest otwarte dla wszystkich osób, które wierzą w wartość samoorganizacji, oddolnej solidarności i anarchistycznych idei jako siły zmieniającej świat. W zeszłych latach wiele dyskutowaliśmy o tych pojawiających się problemach. Widzimy że ich rozwiązanie wymaga globalnej świadomości, solidarności między twórcami i czytelnikami, oraz wsparcia dla niezależnych inicjatyw kulturowych. Tak jak przez ostatnie lata, tak i teraz chcemy nie tylko pogłębić nasze dyskusje i krytyki, ale także wypracować rozwiązania. Zapraszamy was do aktywnego uczestnictwa w wydarzeniu.</p><p>Deklamujcie manifesty!<br>Spotykajcie się i dyskutujcie!<br>Prezentujcie nowe rozwiązania!<br>Bądźcie kreatywni i kreatywne!<br>Jesteśmy otwarci na Wasze propozycje!</p><p>Wydarzeniu będą towarzyszyć spotkania (także w formie online), w trakcie których będą poruszane tematy obecnie zajmujące wydawnictwa niezależne oraz inicjatywy oddolne, które wpisują się w ideę dziewiątego Niezależnego Kiermaszu Książek. Jest on otwarty na przekaz równościowy obejmujący głos osób wykluczanych. Jest przestrzenią do wspólnego dzielenia się naszymi doświadczeniami, uczenia się od siebie nawzajem, dyskutowania z szacunkiem nad alternatywami oraz spojrzenia krytycznie na współczesną rzeczywistość.</p><p>W poprzednim w kiermaszu brały udział wydawnictwa, kolektywy i osoby reprezentujące różne środowiska zarówno z Polski jak i zagranicy. Wydarzenie przyciągnęło też sporo miłośniczek i miłośników książek i liczymy na to, że w tym roku będzie podobnie.</p><p>Naszym wyróżnikiem jest też to, że nie pobieramy opłaty za stoisko. Jeśli bardzo chcesz przyjechać a jedyną przeszkodą są dla Ciebie finanse, napisz do nas – spróbujemy coś razem wymyślić. Kiermasz jest bezpłatny dla osób odwiedzających.</p><p>Ponieważ mamy ograniczoną liczbę stanowisk, prosimy o wcześniejsze zgłoszenie. Na zgłoszenia czekamy do 1 czerwca 2025 r. pod adresem warsawbookfair[at]riseup.net. Na ten sam adres mailowy można przysyłać wszelkie propozycje współpracy, pytania i uwagi odnośnie wydarzenia.</p><p>Zapraszamy!<br>Kolektyw Warszawskiego Niezależnego Kiermaszu Książek</p><p>www: warsawbookfair.noblogs.org<br>twitter: twitter.com/WarsawBookfair<br>facebook: facebook.com/warsawbookfair<br>instagram ENG: @warsaw_independent_bookfair</p><p>grafika: Kaciaryna @kcia.the.rising.tide</p><p>Tematyka: #Internacjonalizm, #Wielokulturowość, #Migracje, #Diaspory, #Antymilitaryzm, #Granice, #Pomocwzajemna, #Samoorganizacja, #Literatura, #Kultura</p><p>—</p><p>WARSAW INDEPENDENT BOOKFAIR 2025</p><p>‘The more you know, the better you act’.</p><p>We would like to invite you to the 9th edition of Warsaw Independent Bookfair, which will take place in Warsaw on 6-7.09.2025</p><p>Warsaw Independent Bookfair 2025 is a space for free thought and culture, a tool for opposing the silent censorship, monopolisation and capitalist restrictions of the book market. We act to support authors and creators who reject commercial compromises, defend the autonomy of their messages and build alternative models of distribution and collaboration. The event is open to all people who believe in the value of self-organisation, grassroots solidarity and anarchist ideas as a world-changing force. In the past years we have discussed a lot about these emerging issues. We recognise that their solution requires global awareness, solidarity between creators and readers, and support for independent cultural initiatives. As we have done in recent years, we want not only to deepen our discussions and critiques, but also to develop solutions. We invite you to actively participate in the event.</p><p>Declare manifestos!<br>Meet and discuss!<br>Present new solutions!<br>Be creative and imaginative!<br>We are open to your suggestions!</p><p>The event will be accompanied by meetings (also online) to discuss topics currently preoccupying independent publishers and grassroots initiatives that fit in with the idea of the ninth Independent Bookfair. It is open to an equality message that includes the voice of the excluded. It is a space to share our experiences together, learn from each other, respectfully discuss alternatives and take a critical look at contemporary reality.</p><p>The previous fair was attended by publishers, collectives and individuals representing a variety of backgrounds from both Poland and abroad. The event also attracted quite a few book lovers and we hope that this year will be similar.</p><p>Our distinctive feature is also that we do not charge for a stand. If you really want to come and the only obstacle for you is finances, write to us – we will try to work something out together. The fair is free for visitors.</p><p>As we have a limited number of stands, we ask you to register in advance. We are waiting for applications until 1 June 2025 at warsawbookfair@riseup.net. You can send any collaboration proposals, questions and comments about the event to the same email address.</p><p>We look forward to hearing from you!<br>The Warsaw Independent Bookfair Collective</p><p>www: warsawbookfair.noblogs.org<br>twitter: twitter.com/WarsawBookfair<br>facebook: facebook.com/warsawbookfair<br>ENG instagram: @warsaw_independent_bookfair</p><p>graphic: Kaciaryna @kcia.the.rising.tide</p><p>Topics: #Internationalism, #Multiculturalism, #Migration, #Diaspora, #Antimilitarism, #Borders, #MutualAid, #Self-organisation, #Literature, #Culture.</p> <p><a href="https://adapulawska.org/wydarzenie/9th-warsaw-independent-bookfair-6-7-09/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">adapulawska.org/wydarzenie/9th</span><span class="invisible">-warsaw-independent-bookfair-6-7-09/</span></a></p>

I guess <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.xyz/users/rms" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>rms</span></a></span> would support such a statement. That includes softforks of all kinds,in the means of not destroying the base layer of communication itself, that's what FOSS is about.<p>In general it looks to me that we are not used to the idea of federation and what that means in the first place. We are accustomed to single sites with a single offer and try to adapt them to our needs. The fedi implies that we need to look out for the platforms and instances that have the capabilities we're looking for. People don't get that point because they are trained to be in wallet gardens, stuck with the domain and the platform. And they are used to get pampered and get all their wishes to log them in forever.</p><p>You probably could say that the fedi is kinda free open democracy and the walled gardens are capitalist dictatorships.<br>There are lot's of supporters for capitalist dictatorships, especially when they grew up in them.<br>None of us is interested in people going back to the asocial dictatorial walled gardens of surveillance. Yet the same way, and with way more impetus, we are against to become those places or willing to change the base line that puts us on a path to become like them, because people with their behavior and expectations imprinted on those sites expect us to become like them, or to adopt behavior and tools that recreate what created the illness of those sites in the first place.</p><p><strong>Robert Kingett wrote:</strong></p><blockquote>What are you going to do when that happens? Tell them to use a different project?</blockquote><br>When ever there is a platform that works well and offers what they are looking for, of course that's what we do and what we all should do!<br>That's what the fedi is about!<br>That's what diversity is about!<p>To be more precise, that's the problem we have with people, be it the <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/users/Gargron" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Gargron</span></a></span> with his policy to destabilize the federated concept by creating a mega instance like mastodon.social, or others that do things that point in a direction that has been proven to be in detriment to our main goal. That's the moment we become fundamentalists, we become constitutionals. We want to see our prominent people, our "influencers" to tell people not only to use other instances, we want them to promote the fedi in the first place. To be in the first place ambassadors for the fedi itself.</p><p>You see, to onboard newcomers in the first place onto in this case mastodon.social might be a good strategy to make the step into the fedi as easy as possible, but than we'd like to see an attitude like:<br>"You want this feature?

And we need to work on this inside our selves in the first place, because the FOSS community and FOSS development has it's own rules and it's own inertia.</p><p>Our ego's, the society that created us, the press with it's attention economy, and VC in particular, they all work on individual success. Our goal, the goal of a better healthier society, a better improved environment for us all, for everyone, takes a different path and needs different tools, behaviors and strategy.</p><p>This is about an evaluation of order of interest for all of us, inside each and every one of us. And a specific struggle against our tribal program, our brand recognition program and our very own ego. People like Eugen, or <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/users/dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> are actually in the crossfire of that, and they are taking the worst part, because they get the heat by all the other's. Heat from the righteous ones, the one's how know everything better but ain't able to even fork a code from github and work on something themselves. They are exposed to VC that bribes you with illusions to buy your project, your ideals, your life, your lifetime, your intentions. Even victims of the fans that cheer what ever they say or do, the whole thing squared.</p><p>WE want our free, decentralized, privacy aware internet back. And if people are not able nor want to do the extra mile because they actually just want their twitter or facebook back, we definitely prefer to remain a niche, growing slowly but steady, preserving the main factors that are the fundamental basics of <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a>, of democracy and a social, free and open society.</p><p>We are in a different environment here <span class="h-card"><a href="https://caneandable.social/users/WeirdWriter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>WeirdWriter</span></a></span>, the order of the importance is FOSS and federation, than activitypub, than mastodon (in the case of your request).</p><p>That means our first request to the coders should be to guaranty interoperability and an easy way to create and port profiles to others platforms in the very first place. <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=Diaspora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diaspora</span></a> never even achieved that promise inside their very own network.<br>We expect anyone out here to put the fedi first.<br>To promote other platforms instead of becoming the number one.<br>To foster other instances, the network itself, instead of only foster the own belly.</p><p>And we have to work that out, we are working that out.<br>We have to invent that.<br>We have to invent and create that mindset in ourselves and in the community.<br>And we are going to face our own enemies the whole time on our way to the lonely mountain to get rid of the one ring to rule them all, our ego.</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://loma.ml/profile/feb" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>feb</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/channel/jupiter_rowland" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>jupiter_rowland</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://social.wedistribute.org/users/deadsuperhero" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>deadsuperhero</span></a></span></p>

At the same time I came from diaspora, and wasn't so much looking for microblogging. In any case I loved twitter with only 144 characters, that at least was a challenge. Also the display toot's up to ~500 characters entirely and than go to "see more" already creates a certain self restriction for toots.</p><p>That said, to a certain extent this request is just another nail in the coffin of the idea of a <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fediVerse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediVerse</span></a>.

Anyone who really is in favor of the main idea of the <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedi</span></a> and <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activitypub</span></a>, and that is decentralization, should always consider any idea, proposal or request in terms of "what does this mean for the entire setup"?</p><p>We already had, again and again criticism by the community on <a href="https://tupambae.org/search?tag=mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> because it doesn't respect activitypub definitions or interprets them in an uncommon way. Only dominance in user numbers makes that possible.<br>Like to say, you only can say:<br>"I give a sh** on common agreements because I can allow me to do so".<br>Same goes for the centralization of the community onto one (or two) server, obviously showing off with the fact that the main problems and bottlenecks in social networks weren't understood. That's just a childish conservative expression of the view that "big is beautiful" and that you are successful if you become a big player. Nothing new and not even a mean criticism, we humans are as we are and are children of our time. So if someone is caught by the Zeitgeist and fashion of the moment, that's just what should be expected.</p><p>For me it's fine if mastodon has a 500 character limit and that it takes a little bit more of digging into the code to change that. In any case I'd consider it a problem if because of that an instance gets blocked by "the founding father".</p><p>We truly don't need any kind of benevolent dictator, and fostering and supporting any kind of hard or softfork of mastodon, as well as all the other projects out their, is way more important than fighting details of a project that's alive and well as it is. In that context, in any kind a true hardfork is creating incompatibility with the activitypub standards at that's what we really should be aware of.<br>Your comment Matthias, as well as mine, is in favor of the fediVerse, not mastodon, in favor of diversity not monoteims. And, I hate to bring it to you but, people are tribal, identify with brands and where raised social walled gardens, so the y expect "eierlegende Wollmilchsaue" and that, as of now, is the platform you are on, so .. let them be, we for our selves will always be on the side of those who reach out to create interoperability and understanding. That's how we tick.<br>:)<br>.. my few cents ..</p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://caneandable.social/users/WeirdWriter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>WeirdWriter</span></a></span></p>

Johanna Janhonen<p><a href="https://mementomori.social/tags/Diaspora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Diaspora</span></a>-häsää olisi kiva seurata, mutta kun toi yksi statistiikkatili pistää 4 tunnin välein updatea, niin hermot menee. Luulin keksineeni, että saan sen pois näkyvistä tekemällä sille oman listan, mutta ei se toiminutkaan. Tuntuu tylyltä bännätäkin, kun ehkä joskus olisi tarvetta nähdä tilastot. Onko tähän olemassa joku kikkakakkonen, joten en hoksaa?</p>
