Its intresting to think about #hashtags for them to have meaning they need to become a shared social tool. The problem for us is that in the world of #stupidindividualism its taken as an act of individual expression. Thus has no function in posative social change #failbook #dotcons and #deathcult its a mess with no good outcome #XR
The silence of our crew, of the Liberals, of the Greens on our worship of the #deathcult by organizing our activisam and our media on #failbook and the #dotcons in general is deafening and defines the failure of the progressive left, and diggers and dreamers.
The longer you guys keep silent on this the deeper we fall into this stinking and self defeating HOLE.
They are all #dotcons its basic stuff https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-52724062
What do you think of the hashtag #dotcons for the tech unicorns?
Deliveroo was the poster child for venture capitalism. It's not looking so good now.

They con us to value that they are providing us a service. When in reality they are about shifting socierty to neo-liberal agenders. They are all #dotcons if you take a moment to look under the surfice "services"
We all worship the #deathcult when using parts of the everyday world.
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.
Talking to people on #failbook
People gave the #dotcons the power and money. To say they took it is obviously a crap point of view. You all sat through the how to use facebook for campaigning workshops, you likely run one of them. When wrighting history its importent to not disempower the masses by not giving them agency. We walked into this mess and we can walk out of it if we collectively decide to #OMN To say they took it is obviously a crap point of view. Spades, do you have your spade?
The current pandemic/moral panic "Don't drink from the mainstream" is a needed tonic. The #traditionalmedia has the same business model as the #dotcons both are spreading division and rage to generate clicks and ad revenue.
The #openweb is simple, just html5 linking to html5 with a sprinkling of CSS they are all text formats that humans can kinda read. Its what the #dotcons have built on top to control us is the complex bit. Then the is #geekproblem of our #opensource apps that we need to move beyond as well #OMN
Yes #traditionalmedia and #dotcons have there problems. We all worshipped the #deathcult its in everything around us and has been for 40 years. Am interested in what comes after, focusing on social technology and grassroots thinking/sulutions.
A load of my #failbook friends are shareing this. Its a mess that could lead to crap oucome in the #dotcons and more shrinking 9f 5he #openweb

Looking at #activertypubidea federation it scales downwards rather than upwards like a #dotcons its hard for people to think this simple thing through.
What are hastags, click on one and see:
#omn
#openweb
#activitypub
#stepaway
#4opens
#geekproblem
#fashernista
#dotcons
#failbook
#OMN incurage plugins for alt/grassroots search results to mix with the #dotcons results. A "stepaway" project https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/Openweb-Search/issues looking for people to build the search plugins for the #activertypub codebases if you know anyone looking for a usefull and intresting project.
The problem was have faced for the last 20 years is that alt media has been pushed into "closed" by different threads. This has centralized control around the #dotcons who are driven by a unhealthy data mining for control and profit. Directly leading to the "fakenews" the mainstream article's have been talking about. Open while not perfect is a different path.
