Sozialwelten, background in sociology. I work on reciprocity and the Fediverse – also the topic of my talk at FediDay. Alongside that, I handle the bookkeeping at Anoxinon e.V., help organize FediDay, and run my own infrastructure.

Beyond the Gift Economy: Reciprocity, Infrastructure, and the Fediverse's Bill
Sozialwelten

The Fediverse runs on a gift economy in Mauss's sense — but the exchange happens between people, not between users and instances; instances are the technical substrate underneath. Sustaining any real community this way still requires functional division of labor: accounting, law, governance. Drawing on my own attempt at a Fediverse study (Data Analyst certification, unpublished) as a cautionary case, I argue the harder question is exactly this institutional one.
