Dialog is a private, invitation-only society, sometimes compared to Bilderberg and the World Economic Forum.[2] Forbes describes it as "Bilderberg [...] meets Silicon Valley salon."[3] The organization was founded by Peter Thiel and Auren Hoffman.[2] It maintains a low public profile (without a website accessible to public or officially disclosed membership), and is described as a closed-door meeting that brings together executives, elected officials, and academics.[2][4] It also offers a matchmaking service that pairs single members with each other.[5][6]

‘Headed for technofascism’: the rightwing roots of Silicon Valley
The industry’s liberal reputation is misleading. Its reactionary tendencies – celebrating wealth, power and traditional masculinity – have been clear since the dotcom mania of the 1990s
The nerds are building a new internet, and I could feel it in the room
The AT Protocol is a quiet attempt to rebuild social software the way email was built — open, portable, owned by no one. A meetup in Portland this week made the stakes feel real.
W Social: Hello World!
Hello World! 🙂 This category is for discussing W Social, a new member on the AT-protocol federation.

As I write this, W Social is not yet open for business. There i...
