@smallcircles There was an interesting talk by the economist Mark Blyth on Politics of grievance, I don't agree with everything he says, but this conversation reminded me of it. https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=fLWhiugHkbQ

@houba > we should be doing both For sure! The slogan is intentionally phrased to be thought provoking. It requires the gradual mindset shift that comes through proactive commons participation. Generally people have wrong and unrealistic expectations about our grassroots communities and FOSS projects, which greatly hamper our ability to cocreate, and helps keep our work inherently unsustainable (unless one has the privilege to dabble in FOSS as a hobby). SX and Social coding commons focus on an overarching organizational model, one fit for the grassroots commons because of how it takes existing social dynamics into account that exist between people in chaotic collaboration environments. Thanks for the vid link! I will queue it up for a watch, looks interesting.
