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?

What are hastags, click on one and see:

looking back at #indymedia video the outcome of all this http://web.archive.org/web/20110920222307/https://docs.indymedia.org/Global/DiyMediaLabs was largly woffal and hot air.

#fashernista #geekproblem

Our history is poorly told.

Looking back at the hitory of video #indymedia the documentation is deeply #fashernista and had heaps of #geekproblem in it http://web.archive.org/web/20110121132854/https://docs.indymedia.org/Global/VideoActivismFAQ

Q. What killed #indymedia

A. its was destroyed by narrow minded encryponists from inside and NGO indifference outside. The final blow was the #fashernista embracing of the #dotcons

#labourparty government. With the progressive left-reboot in the uk the will be negative left flows joining this river of change.

* Left authoritarian - are a strong hidden flow in this progressive river.

* Blinded liberal's joining the #fashernista wave will dilute and pollute the river with there intolerance.

* "Hippy capitalists" will turn "change" into a marketing tool for there profit

* #dotcons will spring up to solve out social problems as state controlled #silos

Working in the #wework cafe next to the canal. It is full of all the horrible capitalist crap I detest, sitting listening, to the overheard #fashernista #dotcons social/eco suicide on the next door tables.

The #openweb is being #reboot ed the question is will these reach out into the mainstream. This, for me, will depend on addressing #fashernista and #geekproblem issues that were a part of it failing agensts the #dotcon encloses.
