So far no labour saving device in the history of humanity has resulted in a long-term increase in leisure time and worker agency.

Erlend Sogge Heggen @erlend.sh · 29/09/2026

and I'm sorry, I misread your first post as "reduction in employment *hours*", hence the dissonance! for workers the best return they can get for the labor they've invested is fewer hours for same pay, better working conditions and greater agency in the workplace.

Erlend Sogge Heggen @erlend.sh · 29/09/2026

That's certainly not what happened in the textile industry, nor in agriculture, metalworks etc. Workers are relegated elsewhere into "unskilled labor". I encourage you to research your statement. ROI does not always coincide with hiring because lowering headcounts can be great for shareholders.

Erlend Sogge Heggen @erlend.sh · 29/09/2026

That's right. And when a minority of capital holders have ownership in the company, the logical move is to reduce headcount when new tech raises productivity. In a workers-owned company, higher productivity from tech means the workers get more leisure time; less work is the worker's ideal ROI.

Despite a growing demand for causal evidence about social media, independent researchers remain severely
constrained in their ability to conduct experiments directly on online platforms. To cope, multiple method-
ological workarounds have emerged—from controlled surveys and simulations to client-side overlays and
platform partnerships—each requiring distinct trade-offs between desirable experimental properties. The
recent emergence of open social media platforms offers a qualitatively different methodological opportunity.
Here we propose a design space of social media experimentation and discuss Open Platform Field Experiments
(OPFEs). OPFEs represent a distinct class of experimental approaches that enable independent researchers
to directly intervene on functional platform components—such as clients, recommendation systems, and
moderation services—within live social media environments. Through a comparative analysis of experimental
archetypes, we show that OPFEs occupy a previously unexplored region of the design space. We then bridge
theory and practice by characterizing the architectural and governance elements that enable OPFEs, mapping
them onto Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and illustrating the end-to-end lifecycle of a complete OPFE design.
Overall, this work establishes OPFEs as a practical methodol…

Indeed, though I don’t think the open source emdash project is a useful pressure point towards that end. If that was the case we should all start by boycotting react in protest of Facebook.

Any way the commercialized registries idea could become part of your remit @vlad.website ? Probably not as a core project (that’s up to the individual registries after all) but at least as an advocate and facilitator?

Excellent piece by @seldo.com I’ve noted some connections on Semble: semble.so/url?id=https... imo protective, ‘fair source’ licensing applied sparingly is perfectly compatible with commercialized registries and helps draw clearer boundaries where there currently are none.

Also the greatest breach of consent in human history. Not the most egregious, since it doesn’t directly cause bodily harm the way wars and enslavement do.

idk, having worked all my life as the soft-skills weirdo alongside brilliant coders, my sentiment was never “we need 10x more engineering output” my impression was always: engineers are overburdened with responsibilities and need more breathing room; we’re asking too much instead of thinking small.
