So I think the #prosocialweb has to deliberately design for diversity and inclusion. Let us recognize if we do not increase efforts around web literacy we will amplify the inequality of the past.

Entrenched power and systems also hurt #prosocialweb. Web is thirty years old. Every industry is a tech industry.. Yet how many departments in #HigherEd have someone in that field who knows web and tech.... It's usually zero... How does that happen?

Seven Steps to #ProSocialWeb

1. Begin with You Ghandi never said "Be the change..." still doesn't mean it ain't great advice. We need to be the web we want to see. 1 In fact in my recent efforts into #OpenPedagogy (my approach to getting at #ProSocialWeb) I have focused on the words of another Yogi (correctly attributed) Change yourself and you have done your part in the changing the th

Unfortunately in history we did do this. Literacy is Powe and Words can be tool of oppression or liberation. Web is no different. One of few things George Bush said I agree with is "soft bigotry of low expectations" Fear we do this with the web #prosocialweb

@benwerd Really digging on Kamala Harris but California is already in the win column, wonder if Abrams could flip GA, don't think enough old white people have died yet in Texas for Beto to flip the state. Warren is from Massachusets, love the policy but the geography all wrong. Don't know much about the other 74 candidates. I hate the electoral college.

In talking to @bonstewart I was using the word resilient more in terms of the web and artifacts (https://resilientwebdesign.com), Bonnie meant it more in terms of communities. Maybe #ProSocialWeb is realization that these are not different.

And I get the equity issue. Owning a domain takes privilege. https://laurakalbag.com/beyond-my-means/ .. But this is the very reason we must double our efforts. Could you imagine saying we "don't teach People of Color to write because books and pencils are expensive" #prosocialweb

@benwerd Call it ageism if you wan't but I also do not want to bank on someone making it to 80 to fill out a term. Though I think Buttigieg will end up as Governor for Indiana (probably a harder election than US Pres). Beto..seems to memeish..but I backed Edwards over Obama...what do I now. At the electoral college level Biden does make sense. Wins PA withou

This also goes back to growth measures of silos. They wanted friction free to boost numbers. Truth and writing never come without friction. It's usually a slow ride down a sandpaper slide. Writing is hard. The Web is hard. Do the work. #prosocialweb

What is new is the economic drive of engagement and attention at global scale. When you use platforms with these growth goals you will get vitriol, hate, virality and the benefits @bonstewart laid out, but we Can do this on our own. #prosocialweb
