~wiki

Welcome to the Library of Knowledge for ~Camp!

This is a wiki where all the happy campers of ~camp can document different ideas, compile their collective research, and share information with each other, away from the noise and chaos of the mainstream internet.

To learn more about the wiki software itself, and the syntax it uses, see ~wiki:about

What's Here?

~Camp is like a new kind of "social media". Socializing happens by wandering around and interacting through various different methods, but you generally don't know who you're talking to or anything. It's about the message, not the messenger.

These three pillars of communication allow a variety of human interaction to casually and organically occur:

Additionally, the openbook platform and the ~wiki are uniquely related, in that every hashtag on openbook automatically gets it's own ~wiki page, so that the whole camp can collectively agree on the definition of different hashtags. This helps the information posted on openbook to remain highly organized and easily accessible. Openbook even allows future users to tag older posts, so that we can all help keep it organized.

The Library of Knowledge

The ~wiki is the Library of ~Camp. It is the gathering and collecting of knowledge. It is the coalescing of a deeper understanding, and a way to leave breadcrumb trails to help each other find our way.

Welcome!🍻

Below you'll find some fun little sections of the Library that help us wrap our heads around all this knowledge.

Knowledge Banks

The Knowledge Banks are just categories, collecting information according to the form and function of that Knowledge Bank. These methods of how to decipher and categorize information into the appropriate Knowledge Banks is usually a process further expounded upon within the Knowledge Bank's main page.

Lost Futures is a place to wrap our heads around the apocalypse we live in, how to cope, and how to survive.

Found Futures is a place where we can theorize about systems and things that could still yet make the world a better place.

Schizoid Realizations is a place to share different realizations you might have had, that you cannot reveal, because they would give up your secrets or illusions of security and normalcy in everyday life. These are the things that you want to say, but feel that you "can't".

Hacker Paradise is a place where we can share our coding adventures, tips and tricks, and categorize our knowledge of how to do cool coder stuff.

Human Resistance is where we discuss the perfect storm of technologies hijacking our psychology to plunge us into an emotionally toxic feedback loop that leaves everyone feeling vacant and lonely. We discuss the issues at hand, the limits of artificial intelligence, and how to mitigate these effects and create tools that help. But also to discuss more big-picture strategies and actions we can take.

Unadulterated Creativity

Fantasy Worlds is a section of the wiki to let your imagination run wild. It's a catalogue of alternative realities. This includes videogames, books, tabletop games, card games, pen and paper games, role-playing in chat rooms, and even writing collective stories together in the pages of this very wiki!

Holodeck is a simple command-line game that anyone can play and everyone can contribute to. With an incredibly simple set of rules, this creative text-based game of exploration let's players navigate throughout an infinitely complex world of their own design. Players can't interact in real time, but everyone creates the world as they go, so as you explore the world you're exploring all the details left behind by other users. But watch out, when you get to a place where the story is unwritten, it will be your turn to write!

ASCIIwith.us is a game of drawing things using letters, and creating a world together with others. It's similar to Holodeck, except instead of written paragraphs, it's text laid out on a 2D grid. This allows players to not only write, but also draw things with the letters. Like Holodeck, you can navigate throughout the infinitely complex world of our collective imaginations, but unlike Holodeck you can actually see other people typing if they're on the same screen! Which means you can even use ASCIIwith.us to play pen-and-paper games.
