post_tumblr_fandomThis week: thinking about a post Article 13 world in #documentation and tweaking things over on the wiki.
#documentation and Article 13
A new channel has been created on the distribute_fandom Discord. According to samshinechester, the channel has so far been discussing what Article 13 may mean for fanworks in Europe and whether archiving has a role to play.
It should be noted that Article 13 has not yet been settled in the EU. But it has far reaching consequences for the fandom experiences of many, which wasn't the aim of Article 13 directly, but a potential consequence. It's problematic nature is well described by Wired UK correspondent Chris Stokel-Walker:
"Almost everyone agrees the rules enshrined by Article 13 risk being applied too broadly. An attempt to prevent illegal copyright infringement on big platforms, put in the hands of bureaucrats and suits that don’t understand the digital world, might become a blunt instrument that could stifle the remix culture of the internet." (My emphasis.)
#documentation discussion has also discussed the tenuous relationship that archivers and creators hold. If you want to join the discussion head on over to the Discord.
Tweaking the Mothership section of the wiki
Wings has spent time this week updating and editing the Mothership page over on the Federated Fandom wiki. You can check out the Mothership page here.
