The Commons Platform is "a new social media platform, based on values, built by everyone for everyone and owned by everyone. It is private and secure, open source and decentralised, and enables everyone to collaborate on community organising, resource-sharing or anything else that makes their lives better."

Recently, Commons Platform organizers presented a design workshop that asked the question "How can we create a thriving community where people can contribute and where all contributions are valued?"

Workshop participants were introduced to the concept of Consentful Tech, and discussed why consent should be built in to this platform by design and default, and embedded into its culture. There was also some preliminary discussion about how consent could be implemented from a technical standpoint.
