# La platforme workshop outline Intro, reiterating possibilities of networks. Questions since yesterday, if any (5-10 min) ``` * directed vs undirected * binary vs weighted * global vs local * semantic meaning of trust ``` Discussion: What networks we use, how these properties manifest there (15-20 min) Exercise 1 followed by discussion, either all together or in small groups (30-40 min): ``` * What is a node on the network? * What kinds of identies can we observe? * personal accounts * business accounts * group/shared accounts * alts * Drawing activity: the different selves "you" contain * How do you use these identities, are any of them private? * Do they all know about each other? * How permanent are they? Are any of them disposable? * Semantic meanning of trust: could any of these be "fake"? ``` Exercise 2 followed by discussion, either all together or in small groups (30-40 min): ``` * What is a connection on the network? * Drawing activity 1: Pick 3 of your online "selves" and draw their most important connections as a graph * What does trust mean in these drawings? * Do the drawings overlap or are they different? * Drawing activity 2: Pick one "self" and draw their connections in terms of who they would trust to * Recommend music * Censor/protect against hate speech or harassment * Talk about a personal/emotional problem with * Loan money to * How do the networks connect to each other? * Discuss the drawings in terms of their network structure: directedness, binariness, globality, etc ``` Space for reflections/questions (15-20) `* Revisit the social media networks we use, as informed by the reflections on trust` Lunch (1 hour) Deep dive into use cases (1-1.25 hour): ``` * Trust in Circles UBI and Duniter * What is the strong set, what is "strongly-connected"? * What else could we do with a government-independent identity layer? * PGP historically still uses state-based ID. Is the network enough, and for what applications? * public identity networks and surveillance * Why do we want content moderation? Secure scuttlebutt, Trustnet * Discussion: censorship resistance vs content moderation. What is ideal? How does it intersect with identity? Relationship to global vs local trust * Trust in blockchains, peers in peer-to-peer * Overlapping trust networks with different semantic meanings * Analyzing trust networks in DAOs: https://diamond.mirror.xyz/9mhfHWIFofZ0ZwWyKZJySC4b5sqKekT6hIpQ5lTh-vs ``` Optional extra activity, depending on time (15-20 min): Try out SSB, observe network visibility Optional extra activity, depending on time (15-20 min): Try out circles Gamification, incentives, and perverse incentives (5-10 min): `* What do networks and social media platforms incentivize? Tensions of quantification` The prisoner's dilemma (15-20 min): ``` * The game theory imaginary * Exercise: play out the scenario and discuss ``` Extending the prisoner's dilemma in time and space (20-30 min): ``` * Intro the iterated prisoner's dilemma * Exercise: play out the scenario and discuss * Evolution of Cooperation: tit for tat and its parameters for success * Intro to network games (majority game, best case public goods game) * How do network patterns/connectedness shape time to change/gameplay? ``` Interface examples, with images (20-30 min): ``` * What do these interfaces tell us is important, what do they measure? * How can we "read" interfaces? ``` Optional extra activity, depending on time (15-20 min): Play the economic trust game, discuss what it measures/means about trust
