~club, the old school style community server is federating its instances
with old school protocols.  It really feels like what should have
happened on the Web since the late 1990s.

Of course it does not address global surveillance and the protection of
the social graph, but brings (Alan Kay?)'s prediction that communities
revolve around the server into a renewed light.

Hello there. Some time ago you signed up to join tilde.club, which is
just a Linux server on the Internet. This is great--we'd love to have
you be part of tilde.club!

 EXCEPT for one thing: There are thousands of people on the waiting list
now. We can't support them all on one machine.

 But other people stepped up. They started their own tilde.club-style
servers. We've started wiring those servers together via chat and Usenet
news and (once we've configured it) email. Just like the Internet came
together in the 1970s and 1980s.

 At this point there are at least 20 tilde.club-style servers looking
for members. Here's what you do:

 1) Go to this page:
     http://tilde.club/~pfhawkins/othertildes.html
 2) Pick a club you like.
 3) Sign up using the sign-up link.
 4) Be a little patient, because it's just a person on the other side.

 These people will send you instructions on logging in. We'll figure out
how to collaborate going forward. Help where you can!

 If you want to set up your own server, you can. You can use puppet-tilde
 https://github.com/nathanielksmith/puppet-tilde
 or just improvise as you go.

 We want each of these little servers to bloom and connect to shared
services.

 I've decided that, for me, tilde.club is a place to learn and to teach.
I'm going to start doing little web workshops, teaching people various
things that I know about building sites. Drop me an email if you'd like
to be part of this. But please be patient, it may take me weeks or
months to respond.

 Best wishes,

 Paul Ford
