@folk__gg is part of the latest @artizen round: tracing ancient folk relationships & methodologies to build a new digital commons it’s precedence for a folkish world — consider voting to help us mitigate the shit outcomes of hyper-individualism : ) artizen.fund/index/p/folkgg-…

Why doesn't the wood rot, you ask? Because the posts are submerged below water, where oxygen can't reach. As long as this is the case, the wood will last another thousand years — mineralization is effectively turning it to stone.

Our member @bestape wrote a thing. Check it out!
Volume 0 of The Inverted City: A Journal of Ethereum Localism has arrived! Published by @theopenmachine, this project came out of the General Forum on Ethereum Localism as an open ended reflection on capture resistant web technologies and their relation to urban spaces. 👇👇👇

It is already hard to discern what is real from a piece of media, in fact media coded as “real” can sometimes be the most constructed- thinking of that one man with a guitar “viral song” that turned out to be a heavily funded conservative media campaign etc AI just forces us to grapple with abstraction

It's odd that everyone seems to think saying plagiarism is fine & plagiarism rules are stupid is so transgressive. When did we all become a bunch of landlords?

Is it fair to use the folk tradition of sharing songs to build a catalogue that sells for half a billion dollars? Bob Dylan seemed to think so. Tune in to our DeCent People Podcast with @maceagon + @folk__gg to learn about copyright laws, on-chain music, and folk values 👇

The Kernel adventures continue--a poignant question posed by the folk at @folk__gg , "How can we protect creators’ rights while also embracing the truth that everything is a remix, that genius is a fallacy, & that collective attribution of the folk is a much healthier way to share & celebrate art?"
Replying to @maceagon
@maceagon is too humble to admit it, but he embodies "folk values". His cover of Bob Dylan is minting NOW through @folk__gg on @ourZORA. 50% of the funds will go to other folk stewards: @akiyaDAO @LEAVINGRECORDS Genre DAO @Kernel0x @songcamp_ @water_and_music Mint details 🔗👇
