The Commons Belongs
to Those Who Care
How shared things survive
“the tragedy of the commons” is a story about strangers. communities that know each other tend fine.
The Protocol · 5 steps
1
Commons need community
anonymous crowds trash shared things; known neighbors protect them.
2
Make the rules together
commons work when the users set and enforce the norms.
3
Visibility keeps it honest
when contribution and freeloading are visible, people do right.
4
Contribute your share
a commons is only as healthy as its members' upkeep.
5
Belonging is earned by care
you don't buy in. you belong by tending.
Run it: find one shared resource you rely on and add to it instead of just taking.
“real commons have never been tried. so try one.”
TL;DR community → shared rules → visibility → contribute → belong by caring
