Evan Henshaw-Plath: How does 'open' make the world better? https://youtu.be/o6A6bnVWzLY Worth watching this agen for a history of the #dotcons to help the reboot #indymedia
@bob hummm bit more complex than that but yes it was a part of it, was built out as ridculusly open as he says.
@bob intresting to see indymedia grow open and died closed and twitter grew open and becomed posiend closed...
@witchescauldron @bob I was vaguely aware that it started as an SMS to mp3 service, but didn't know the history in detail.
@bob Pretty much, which is honestly sort of depressing. It was founded as a reboot of a serious protest tool.
@liaizon @bob @witchescauldron
Well, isn't that just a classic example of being co-opted and led astray?
@witchescauldron Wait...Twitter was founded by anarchists?
