We need some new ways to join the #Fediverse as the old ones are getting "stale" ideas?
We have not pushed the blogs with #activertypub there a few codebases, but non really inspire.
#Peertube is good, but also kinda socially pointless due to being too much a #dotcons copy.
What are people working on as ways in?
I tried #indymediaback as news path. I think people do not see the #Fediverse as #openweb so think SMALL and think tribal, no bad thing but kinda useless for the big picture.
The #neoliberal pushing of #stupidindividualism as "common sense" means that none of us can cooperate any more... this is pretty stupid, you see it everywhere on the #fedivers and a less on the #openweb Where you don't see it is in the #dotcons as there its built into the controlling algorithm thus is invisible.
Use the hashtag #stupidindividualism to escape this mess.
#web3 is the #closedweb the #dotcons done as astroturf "grassroots" movement.
This is why the #mainstreaming supports it. Its "common sense".
The language we use is mostly #deathcult worshipping.
User generated content vs #mainstreaming propaganda content production.
#opensource vs #VC funded #dotcons in tech.
Could list more, where we put value matters, it is the power YOU HAVE.
Get off your knees, please.
YouTube is going through and removing lots of our old videos, so good to have a place for them to live outside the #dotcons
Not "advertising" friendly, which is what YouTube is for.... not activism
It's been accelerating over the last few years, it's reach the stage when I go back and look for videos they are simply not there any more - likely a lot due to copyright music use... or whole account removed for older activists.
We need to step away from the #dotcons what does this mean
It's a sociological insite into a society. The is nothing "personal" about the hashtag. Have you read this book https://archive.org/stream/in.ernet.dli.2015.101521/2015.101521.The-Sciological-Imagination_djvu.txt might help you.
It's hard to express how MAD meany of the #mainstreaming people on the #dotcons are... loons, the problem is they have no idea... what do you think?
If you know any actavist types who won't to step away from the #dotcons you could point them here
Http://activism.openworlds.info/ is an example of #openweb social networking #OMN
If you would like to watch #undercurrents videos on the #openweb you can find them here https://visionon.tv/c/undercurrents/videos please embed them on your sites and share them in the #dotcons, thanks.
In "our" spaces (which are libertarian) the are meany agenda. Some are healthy, others less so. "Socialism" in opensource is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is the bases to build everything upon.
The bad is the "common sense" pushing #mainstreaming that a large number of people do to the #openweb if this is not balenced then the openweb decays and the #dotcons push over the "commons".
It's pretty simple #omn
What duse a progressive #openweb look like?
Firstly not what #web02 became and what #web03 is pushing now this is obvious.
The web was born "libertarian socialist" and endured years of pushing #mainstreaming into #capitalist supplication.
The #openweb it self stands agenst this pushing. Yes, the #dotcons have taken social space but we still have our spaces #fedivers
Am concentrating on "our" space were meany concentrate on pushing the #dotcons back, both are usefull.
The #mainstreaming is an obvious disaster with the #dotcons so for our own motivation let's put them to one side.
Our tech is hopelessly mired in the #geekproblem, so we need to compost a shitload of this.
The path out of both of these #blocking paths is an old one based on trust and humanity.
Let's reboot the #openweb with grassroot democracy at its core.
This easily pushes the #dotcons out to let "us" focus on useful projects, social tech needs the social/democratic.
People come into non #mainstreaming projects and try to change them to #mainstreaming objectives because they think they are adding value by doing this.
This "common sense" is destroying and feeding the #dotcons online and killing community offline.
We need ideas on how to mediate this #stupidindividualism to reduce the damage.
The #OMN is a #DIY grassroots gift economy. Over the next few weeks, huge numbers of historical activist videos are arriving. To add value/community to this flow we need moderates to put the videos into subject/channels and add tags to share them on #dotcons and #openweb we need to them make stories to bridge this history to current campaigning.
Interesting running #DIY grassroots tech projects as without users they fail. So if people stay outside then the project goes nowhere and the users are left to die in the #dotcons like the #mainstreming heard they critic on the #dotcons they cannot leave.
This is an apt description of the #deathcult that we all live in. stepping away IS FORM of activism.

ideas on how to mediate this #stupidindividualism
http://hamishcampbell.com/2021/05/06/the-geekproblem-humanitys-and-science/ What has worked for the fedivers to overcome the geekproblem is the copying of existing #dotcons as #openweb tools. This copying has mediated the gap between the humanities and the sciences by taking existing (bad) human technological relationships and building copy’s in the (good) openweb.
