Our old friends in activism took the heathy internal stresses that were braking projects like #indymedia to feed a #fashernista vampire class, to built careers feeding on and draining grassroots corpus for 20 years.
It's not a good look #indymediaback these people are the ones you talk to when you talk to "power".

This is the problem, not the solution.
Worth a read to see the issue of feeding off the state and the VC poison that shapes the #fashernista ploughing over grassroots by the #deathcult
These people are adding to the #techshit shifting the focus to pointlessness. But they were "our" people at one time.
Our liberal #foundation models are a complete disaster https://lunduke.substack.com/p/linux-foundation-spends-just-34-of
They are way to easey to capture to #fashernista agenda. I have seen this EVERY time over the last 30 years in actavisam and tech.
Time for composting this shit #OGB
When we talk about radical/progressive language issues people are full of #blocking and ignoring so the same issue is continually brought up but never mediated. This leads to a growth of bad will and the destruction of the social commons.
#fluff and #spiky are good, thinking is away in broad categories, so the #mainstreaming #fashernista rejection of this is #deathcult worshipping.
Get off, your knees.
If normal people use hashtags at all they use them as #fashernista self expression.
This is a obvious fail feed by #stupdindividualism to push #mainstreaming
Hashtags are actually for #diy self/community organization.
Q. There is only two sides the elite military complex and us pheasants tell everyone about that they might understand
A. You can see it that way if you like, but to me this #fashernista and #conspiracy to be usefull to my thinking.
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.
The #NovaraMedia crew do good content but they are beyond useless on progressive tech and push #fashernista agenders in left reporting that are problematic.
Conservatism/right wing is based on fear and the resulting desire for control.
Progressive/left wing is based on cooperation and trust with the resulting desire for freedom.
Yes this is muddled by right wing agenders to push their lies. Don't be a #fashernista on this subject please.
If you are caught up in the #fashernista fever of the #FSF #RMS mess then this is worth a look http://arp242.net/rms.html
This is an interesting project https://onionshare.org/ worth looking at for "security" beyond the #dotcons and #fashernista "privacy" apps.
On the other hand the are advantages to "modern" tribal and lifestyle activism - it functions as social glue to hold campaigns together and provides a “uniform” flag to rally round. You notice I do not use words like anarchist, socialist, liberalism here as these have a different role in social change thinking – they are the ideas – the clothing is what I am taking about #fashernista is the hastag.
In the left the is still strong starlinist tendencies - a lot of #fashernista stuff while looking #fluffy is actually quite #spiky on this path. In social change the is a bad history here that we need to constantly mediate for a better outcome open/closed etc.

This is a #fashernista view of what happened in the people who are given voice and background view. In this its mainstreaming crap. Do you have a shovel to compost articals like this :)
On the subject of 'the social dilemma'
We were all idiots to embrace this seductive posion. Some people were evil... training people how to use social media while our own tech died comes to mind. Looking back sad and bad, the is now no choice but to reboot our own media. Be wary of #fashernista agenders on this.
#fashernista #geekproblem #failbook how is the evangelical push for the #openweb going for you?
What is a #fashernista its a simple, people who do what is fashernable. The complexity is that am talking about polatics, tecnolagy, and social change rather than cloths and records. The ideas are the same the subjects are different.
A radical joining a #openweb project, its kinda problamatic if you join a mainstreaming big one. The guy who runs the big two servers, paid for by patron donations to the mastodon project is not the most radical of people - to be generous a #fashernista (libertarian'ish) liberal. So when push comes to shove, and it will if you get a really radical crew onto here then you guys lose your place just like you did with the #dotcons You need to look harder for a sustainable actavist instance

https://floe.github.io/cloudless-skies/ This smells of #fashernista #encryptionists fantasy. It obvious that we can't keep going down this path. Ideas?
