We are working on a new system for self-learning and teaching. Think of it as Wikipedia but arranged pedagogically. This is a curation and free learning of all kinds of knowledge.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.zip/post/63831008

This is the new progress tracking ability added for users to check their progress of a skill graph. The backend handles this via Assessments and Capabilities - 2 general objects in the Brotherhood that will, in the future, serve as the blueprint for more exotic assessment systems like work-based, peer-verified assessments and capability certificates that will serve as the de-facto portable proof-of-skills.

This is currently in beta-stage and behind an invite-only access. However, very soon, signups will be open-for-all and you can test it for yourself. If you wish to try it out before that, please reach out through to us.

For more information, please visit the official website

    Well, you’re very tight-lipped about what you’re actually intending to do. I see a lot of vague-ish mission statements, but not so much as to actionable methods to practically implement them, and for whom.

    Throwing around grand promises about “skill graphs” and your “visionary reimagining of social contracts” is cheap, and frankly underwhelming.

    • The whole website, structure and layout, looks so bland it could be “AI” generated. In 2026, if you want to be taken seriously, you need to declare your stance on and use of “AI”.

    • The “Brotherhood” branding sounds culturally tone deaf. No women allowed, then?

      • Or is this “invite only” thing more like the Freemasons? The Klan maybe? I’m asking in all earnestness because the site gives absolutely zero to go on.

    This has to be a hard pass from me.

      I did not even notice brotherhood but noticed the username dark secret. Like you I pretty much lost interest with the invite only thing. Free and open source will always perk up my ears but I expect those things to be transparent from the get go.

        I didn’t want to do an ad hominem, but yeah. The “dark secrets” username adds to the pseudo-Rosicrucian vibe 🤐 And they’re outsourcing the writing of their secret rituals and tenets to the commons!

        I mean, to a select, invite-only, apparently exclusively male portion of the commons, of course. Which is neither very progressive, visionary, or labour friendly. It is, in fact, how most of the world has worked for several thousands of years.

        If you’re interested to know, we are working very hard to make it open-access by June

              ah ok. I think you post would have done better if you started with the code aspect and at the very end mentioned you are doing limited closed alpha testing of the public site and signups are here. Lead with the transparency and I think its good to mention gpl 3 as well for any that use it as its the strongest copy left. When I see open source I assume its a weak copy left and if I see free libre I figure its likely gpl but when I see gpl 3 specifically mentioned then I have the highest confidence.

      Yes, we do value ideas immensely. Even greater, we value our goals, which will not sway much, the practical implementations may vary as our experience increases. And we do not overwhelm the audience with minute details. However if you’re interested, some of it can be found in the official documents

      We do NOT value linguistic constructivism. Words mean what we want them to mean. While I understand where you’re coming from, we can always retort that the best way to “reclaim” a name is to use it in a radically different scenario - a sort of deconstruction, if you will.

      We have a very small team and the website is not polished as much as we want it to be. This the need to keep it invite-only for now. However, we are working hard to make it open-access ASAP.

      We are NOT at all opposed to AI usage. And we solemnly believe (not all of us, however), that the fact that an automation tool (which is all it really is) hurts the labour force is a shameful showcase of our underwhelming social contract. I will make a post dedicated to this issue soon.
