Hacking with care
hackingwithcare.in/wiki/doku.php
Hacking With Care is collective composed of hackers-activists, caregivers, artists, sociologist, growing quite literally by contact and affinity.
Together we imagine, circulate, put in common resources and tools for care in accordance with hackers ethics and peer-to-peer philosophy.
We create occasions for body & soul rejuvenation and collective (re)appropriation of care. We work with an understanding of the needs and requirements of specific contexts, as can be found in hacking and activism. Similarly, we like to transmit to caregivers some hackers-activists tools and best practices, for example in relation to privacy/data protection, technological independence, operational security. Other aspects we like are creativity in care, access to knowledge, interdisciplinarity, questioning of norms…
Our actions evolve around two principal axis that could be (but not limited to): Care for hackers-activists and Hackers ethics and tools for caregivers.
They include care corners at hackers-activists events, pop-up massage sessions at the quarters of activists organizations, massage and well-being workshops and tutorials, compilation of resources and creation of original resources, research, news watch…
Indeed, we are aware big-hearted hackers and activists are exposed to life-threatening levels of stress and emotional challenges. Some burnout, some are imprisoned or experience limitations or abuse of their rights, in retaliation for their deeds. Some die. Meanwhile, the health-care sectors (where the most vulnerable people become yet more exposed) serve corporate and shady political agendas by default. We, as individuals, as communities, are being “holistically” attacked by the systems in governance : attacks and restrictions on life and freedoms keep intensifying everywhere, motivated by unchecked power and greed. They affect all, in all areas of life, including access to healthcare.
These converging realizations and the great joys we have in doing what we do all, inspired us to put together this initiative. We want to help become aware of vulnerabilities in our movements and organize so that each and everyone’s capacities to care and be cared for will not be compromised.
The term “hacktivists” exists. I’m not into hacking so can’t say much more.
Both are good :)
Idk imo “hacktivist” is much cooler and shorter too.
Ya true quite cool :) that’s a shame that you get some bad voting for suggesting that :/
The thing is recently I always get exactly 2 downvotes very quickly no matter what I say so it’s either bots or people that don’t like me lol.
That’s some dedication. :/ I even got down vote for video in sign language, i don’t understand their point as they don’t talk.
As soon as i can check who vote, i will ban them.
I can assure you that approximately 2/3 or 3/4 (depending on the instance and the community) of people on Lemmy can’t be considered very nice of people. Always expect something like that. However, a downvote is not a reason for ban since it may always have respectable reasons. Please refrain from any form of disagreement-based banning.
Wait, mister/miss, you’re an admin? Also make sure you check that the downvotes come from the same accounts. Coincidences happen.
Nope, I’m just a moderator. Maybe i will setup my own instance : sublinks or piefed. Lemmy will soon allow moderators to check vote and it’s up to the admin to activate it. if i recall correctly.
So i will simply ban on my own community**, that mean only the smallish community on the fediverse about sign language. Why ? because it’s about deaf culture, deaf history…so i don’t see the point of downvoting.
Wonse, when you downvote, my post diseaspear from the timeline.
Honnestly, I don’t accept people with this kind of mentality. I prefer people that explain why they disagree.
if i could disable downvote on my community it would be better, but currently it’s not possible. Or maybe a popup to blacklist the community when you click on downvote ?
Well, month ago,i wrote a post for rewanping the voting system. For example instead of dowvoting because the post is in german instead of english, we can have a tag/hashtag system with threesold.
As #spam and 10 people vote. Or good article, bad article, complex, sad, scary, not fun…and everyone add them and vote for the most revalent tag/hashtag.
And with this we can improve by leap and bound lemmy search.
Sorry for the long off topic, i let my toughts loose again. :)
There still can be points such as low post quality, misinformation, outdated data, discrimination of certain people etc.
Awww that’s called egoism. And also idk what client you use but on mine (Jerboa) downvoted posts stay in the timeline. Probably you just confused Lemmy with Reddit.
Too complex. You’ll have 2-3 votes on every hashtag at most. Implement subcommunity categories instead. It’d be more useful.
We got a hactivist comm?
No idea, mister/miss
This seems to be different and is geared towards directly looking after other humans. Hactivism as I’m used to the term, can often be technocratic.
