I am on the shitter instead of the shower. So, sorry if I babble crap. But imagine something like GitHub but for the purpose of restructuring society.
I’ve thought of this as well.
Git is a great version control and distributed collaboration system.
Just need to use it to manage a constitution, a bill of rights, and a legal framework. Legal code instead of computer code.
Technologically super easy. Convincing a government to switch to a new constitution is hard. We just need an amendment that amends the amendment process into a pull request approval.
Think we need a new channel.

You should read Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. I think you’ll like it.
There’s also “A Half-Built Garden” novel where the whole “git as means of direct democracy” is central to the plot. Is gitpunk a genre?
I’ve just made it to that scene and I feel like I owe you a very hardy fuck you for recommending this gloriously weird book. Guess i’ll update when I’ve finished a chapter or two.
Can you elaborate your thoughts? What does “A GitHub for restructuring society” look like?
Billions of completely unrelated developments of niche topics in languages most people don’t understand and then also hundreds of competing solutions to the same problems.
The revolution? What revolution? Against ze Germans? WTF are you on about?
