The #OMN is a simple project to decisively move power from the #geekproblem and the #dotcons to the producers of media content. From this grasssroots “commons” a new digital/economic/social ecosystem can/will grow.
As with everything human it is up to use what we do with this power.
If you are interested in the healthy of the #openweb and thus our social health, leading to ecological heath, leading to a heathy shared planet you need to stop eating the shiny/sweet #dotcons and play a role in promoting open communications. The https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki are a good way for normal people to take this small step. Live and learn or keep swallowing the poison and die #XR it's a simple stark choice you face, and we all face this TODAY.
Can we try agen #dotcons are shiny toys that are ripping our society apart as we consume them like colourful sweets...
What's the truth to this? Focus please.
Words have meaning, I mean the #dotcons are shiny toys that explote you in the end, so we have to stop consuming them if we are to save the planet, see #XR
Changing the subject to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem attacks, is in no way an ansear.
Words have meaning http://hamishcampbell.com a few posts on this subject.
Feeling insulted is not a view of truth, it's a feeling.
In the face of growing #climatechoas and our attention being trapped inside the #dotcons I see most people as complete fantasists and see the worship of the #deathcult as their main motivation.
In the next 5-10 years I see a lot of BLOCKING and lots of blowing of smoke to cover this behaver.
I live on a lifeboat, it's not a metaphor.
OK after looking more and giving the benefit of doubt, its due to the #dotcons mash up they are using to do the presentation. Lots of people are using good #openweb tools like BBB https://bigbluebutton.org
If you're on the #closed web and finding yourself addicted to the screen your holding in your hand. Then this is not distraction, this is social control. Good to be clear about this and not mince #mainstreaming words about the #dotcons
OK am starting to feel like am trolling "Reimagine the Internet" as its all academic and #dotcons history.
The same people and the same story we have heard for the last wasted 10 years.
Nothing so far touching on the #Fediverse let alone the #openweb.
It's off TOPIC I feel like shouting though out the oneway ZOOM video presentation - you can find their video's on youtube.
After proding they are talking about putting them on #peertube ;)
I showed the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Dilemma to my elderly parents, they were shocked. It's a powerful film with a #mainstreaming ending that is completely irrelevant for a good outcome It's the #dotcons looking at themselves.
Upload a PDF "No, I think not."
Trying to upload a formatted text doc to a #openweb project.
"Needs a settings change, and then its possible. But it is disabled by default, because people might upload malicious PDF’s, so there’s that."
OK that raise the question of what is a good UX safe non #dotcons formatted text document. And why after 20 years of #openweb dev do I have to even ask this question. This second point is likely the more interesting one to try and ansear.
People in tech are rethinking the power and use of "group" we should keep an eye on what's happening in the #dotcons here is a view of #failbooks changes https://www.facebook.com/community/whats-new/new-public-groups-experience-coming-soon-all-groups/
The #dotcons are pure undiluted #deathcult
The #openweb is like herding cats and when you work hard and scratch the surface you find the #deathcult just the same.
We can't keep doing this, please try not to push #mainstreaming agenders as the current outcome is BAD, and we need to try and make things better.
This is a different view of the world https://visionon.tv/video-channels/warszawska.fa@kolektiva.media/videos that you will not see on the #dotcons
It's not just the sprit of the age, which it is, its the sprit of a tiny minority of people that is now grown into a worldwide problem from/for the #dotcons and the alt-tech crew.
There are simple ways out of this mess and the #OMN and #indymediaback are examples of this path that we need to take.
The #fedivers has fallowed this in that it is direct copy’s of existing useful #dotcons - peertube is youtube, pixalfeed is Instagram etc. On balance has been positive, though not without its problems. Has clearly overcome the last 10 years of pointless in #geekproblem alt-tech for now.
#nothingnews is an attempt to overcome the churning of alt tech and #dotcons been doing this stuff for more than 20 years and have seen hundreds of me to/NGO projects grow and fail, rise repeat for ever into a flow of pointlessness. its a BLOCK that we have lived with for way to long.
In resent years the first project to get me motivated was Mastodon and #activertypub as both were based on #nothingew they were evaluations of existing projects and standards - twitter/tweetdeck and atom/pubsubhub
Censorship on the#fedivers is different to censorship on the #dotcons http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2021/03/14/censorship-on-the-fedivers-is-different-to-censorship-on-the-dotcons/
