Welcome to the Open Social Web track!
In this opening, we will be introducing the speakers and the main topics tackled by this track, as well as an introduction to the Open Social Web itself.
Decentralised, open, self-sovereign, and free social media are under the spotlight.
Mainstream, closed, and centralised platforms are close to the bottom of their degeneration and enshittification. In the meanwhile, a growing movement of humans wants to build better social networks in the open. Who are they? What is the purpose of the Open Social Web?
Join this introduction to DWeb Camp’s Open Social Web track to learn more.
Tommi Marmo is an pseudo-artist, tinkerer, activist, and community weaver who focuses on political technology, digital rights awareness, and data degrowth.
Tommi’s mission is to create bridges and connections, intertwining stories and experiences through inter-disciplinary activities that explore the most diverse topics. Their work spans several fronts, and they committed to different fights over time.
They are part of the DWeb Core Team as the Community Engagement Lead, and they are currently pursuing a master degree at XPUB in Rotterdam.
As a teenager, they were a speaker and chief editor at Radioimmaginaria. In 2019, they co-founded a local chapter of LIBERA, an Italian network of organizations fighting mafia through cultural and educational endeavours. In 2020, they invented and co-founded Scambi, the Festival of Paneurethic workshops, of which they are now the president. In 2023 they graduated summa cum laude in Philosophy, International Studies, and Economics with a thesis titled Computer Sciences Are Social Sciences. The workshop series Knitting Our Internet was born out of the research for their thesis.
Being a relentless enthusiastic and curious person, Tommi also worked with many and various organizations, including the DWeb Community, the Free Software Foundation Europe, Village One and Giffoni Film Festival.
