Here's my talk on why collective governance can prevent abusive power, and why distributed funding is necessary for collective governance. Thanks to @altctrl.org for inviting me, and to @fairpm.bsky.social for putting these ideas into practice. ❤️

I installed the Fair Package Manager (@fairpm) on my personal site last night. I'm excited to say it worked flawlessly. A couple of plugins were updated from Fastly's servers, & a paid plugin updated from its servers as normal. I'm excited to see what else comes from this interesting development.

Big thanks to the Bluesky team for shipping this for FAIR 🚀
we've rolled out some small changes to the DID PLC directory which make it possible to register new key types as verificationMethod entries, for non-atproto use cases.

have fun building on PLC!
