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.

You can support the #OMN here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network
If you like playing games you can see word magic (wiki link) in the #hashtags, if you are practical you can translate them into traditional definitions – for example #deathcult = neo-liberalism #dotcons = dotcom as in the boom and busts #fahernista is simple a fashionable person in any subject etc. its easy to see that its NOT complex at this level.
What we have been talking about with the left taking up #openweb tech has been moving much faster by the right https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dgm5k/truth-social-is-mastodon-trump this is the same tech (#activertypub) we are building out with the #OMN project.
The left is still STUCK inside the mess of the #dotcons this has to be changed/challenged.
#indymediaback one thing to keep in mind, I think we/indymedia crew learned the wrong lesson from these raids/repression.
We pushed fear/control as a solution, which added to the mess #closedweb
As the #Fediverse shows, open/trust was the path we should have taken #openweb
This ripped the #indymedia project apart, leaving us in this #dotcons mess.
When making judgments, let's be #KISS, to see through the mess.
Shovels and compost #OMN
Hard to see how you can do a left wing project without showing the workings
open/trust - left
We fall to easily into
fear/control - right
It's what the page is about.
Yep the whole #dotcons side of the EU funding agenda is poison and only feeds the mess.
As I highlight, just about all funding is poured strate down the drain, it's the normal outcome.
We have a churning problem in alt-tec.
Activertypub was built from pubsubhub which was built from atompub with was built from RSS which was born in the high tide of the #openweb since this first step it's been down hill in progressive tech leading to the majority move to the #dotcons and our current shit heap.
Our #fashernista are feeding this churning, planting in sand. How to fix this? Graft the "new" onto soled roots #openweb
Stop the churn, stop it now.
In the #mainstreaming the #dotcons are shaping young people so that they know nothing but worshiping the #deathcult it's a shit heap mess that needs composting. You need a shoval #OMN
"With solidarity largely a thing of the past, it is vital the left reclaim it as a way of organising in order to successfully resist capitalism."
This is the thing I found to be #BLOCK on rolling out http://visionon.tv and development of #OMN and finally it completely lacking for the #indymediaback reboot.
How to rebuild this thing we have all lost, likely getting people off the #stupidindividualism of the #dotcons and the older generations off #failbook would be a good first step.
When a #openweb project is flooded by nuttyness the "real" people leave and likely go back to the #dotcons when you push conspiracy and act dogmatic then you are damaging the possabilery of a better world not helping to build it.
Please stop and think if this is you. Keep your media real. Do good not harm.
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.
