Discussion Topics

=What is a social script, anyway?

Kind of important to the whole idea of shifting them, in this discussion we covered what social scripts are to us.

What is currently going wrong?

Using a facilitation method picked up from Tim Davies, we arced thru what we know, how that makes us feel, what our gut tells us, and what that means we might do.

Components and workarounds of dog piles

Individuals bringing their historical experience to bear on one example of a long-standing issue, without maintaining the sustained attention necessary to actually change the issue.

Detailing components of communication

We laid out various aspects of how communication and community occur. This will feed into how to build a pro-social platform.

Projects

  • Communication Karma Score : Matt suggested a way to get credit and signaling for being a good conversational partner, for using logical fallacies, etc
  • IntrospectionBot : just like a desktop reminder to occasionally stretch or go for a walk, this would occasionally prompt a moment of self-reflection. We hope this would de-escalate
  • Visualizing solidarity : when outrage happens online, it's often because people are dog piling on an exemplar of a historical issue, rather than using the moment of attention to direct energy towards understanding and addressing the historical issue.
  • We discussed (and hopefully contributed to) TQ's Pro-Social Platform, and associated Parameters of Interaction as related to Sands and Ethan's framework for social networks.
