Worshipping the #deathcult is normal in our alt tech. Example, our use of branding for horizontal #openweb projects is too focused on head bowed worship. #Mastodon, #peertube etc are examples of this even our use of the new term #Fediverse is #fashernistas on their knees.
I try and use #openweb to name all this stuff with the project branding on a small link at the end.
Then we can start to build a wide open movement for change/challenge and get off our knees.
#Ideology matters, is a useful tool, to judge the shit #fashernistas spew. “It is how reactionary politics works, by appealing to sense of injustice and then, instead of focusing anger on the rightful target (capitalism etc) they create a movement to serve their own class interests, in this case far right libertarianism.”
To get to real social change/challenge we have to get through this shit pile first.

Why ideolagy matters and the shit our left #fashernistas spew. "It is how reactionary politics works, by appealing to sense of injustice and then, instead of focusing anger on the rightful target (capitalism etc) they create a movement to serve their own class interests, in this case far right libertarianism." From the #closedweb
A post from a few years ago.
The #fashernistas have poised the well of alt-media at many steps I meet defeatism and negativity. Its bad timing as mainstream is stepping away from the #dotcons and need a place to step to.
Yes stupid fashionable ideas have failed agen and agen, This does not mean that the basics no longer work #reboot the #openweb
#fashernistas can become parasites due to grabbing/colonizing and obscuring new forces of social challenge/change. We need active ways to mediate this problem as currently the positive powers are weak in the face of the dominating #deathcult Hegemony https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegemony
The #fashernistas are flocking to the #openweb reboot the have been a load of blog posts... the problem is that this is a parasite class of people... are the fragile #openweb projects healthy anuf to survive this in rush of pthogines? Where is our immune response #4opens #PGA #indymediaback
Just to add that I was involved in the history of these though took no part in the project ripping.
From my view you have two sides both deeply #geekproblem
The #open federates who were full on #fashernistas at #BeTheMedia
And the #silo centralized contoling of the (#encryptionists thinking) at mayday.
Open grassroots media was pushed onto the trash heap by #geekproblem agenders.
A bad outcome #indymediaback
The #fashernistas were conned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shpiVm1qpnw by the #dotcons do you understand this now? The is a tool to understand and avoid this #4opens
To repeat, 99% of radical tech is obviously pointless for radical outcomes. Most is pushing #NGO agenders. Then is then the #meto of the #fashernistas and the cave dwelling of the #encryptionists to shovel onto the compost heap.
What do you think radical tech should be doing?
Are your friends moving to a new chat app?
To start you in the right direction you can use the #4opens to judge if a tech project is worth supporting. Used well it gets rid of 90% of the #dotcons and the #NGO crap and weeds the #fashernistas to a manageable level. Pretty simple to do please post reviews on your blog with #review #4opens in the tags so we can aggregate the reviews http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/projects/4opens/
This film kinda touches on the stupidity of our chattering classes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68pCCLT19Hc the Netflix documentary #TheSocialDilemma is the #dotcons talking to themselves. It is the #brightgreens in ecological terms, useful messaging for the #fashernistas a tiny step to a real step #OMN
The dominant post-modern thinking of our #fashernistas has made a mess of our idea of what activism is and for, positive social change, love not hate. The new breed of right-wing ”activists” are pushing hate and fear to further the agender of social destruction to feed the #deathcult god of neo-liberalism that we all worship. This is of course not activism, rather fascism. Best to use the right words so as not to add to the mess.
The #openweb was ripped apart by meany forces.
#encryptionists pushing security theatre broke #UX and trust based relationships
#geekproblem narrowed this into an irrelevant subculture.
#fashernistas in braced the bad in both sides for self-interest, greed and fame.
#dotcons privatized data and metadata to the service of profit and social control. All the above groups played their role in this.
The #openweb is a hollow shell for most people
Reboot #OMN #4opens #indymedia
One thing the fediverse tought us is that copying existing successfully projects is a root out of the #geekproblem that #fashernistas embrace. So this up to a point is the right thing to do for social change. We for the first time put a spin on it by rebooting a radical grassroots social tech project. But behind this is something much more radical. The #OMN lets see if we can plant and nurture a seed. Think the soil is a little dry past time for some compost, get your spades out.
The #fashernistas in polatics make self satisfying jerk circles. You can hear this on meany podcasts.
Ideas?
Am doing a talk at this event https://conf.activitypub.rocks/#talks about the #indymedia reboot #Omn project.
Need help on how to get the #geekproblem #encryptionists and #fashernistas crew to understand "social technology" thinking and resulting projects built on the #4opens
This is a hard sell, even though #activertypub crew are probably the best ordnance around for this kinda project.
Were are we with the #geekproblem and #fashernistas in radical tech?

Updated with #activertypub its still a valid solution.

Using common #hashtags and syndicating ver #activertypub and #OMN now then you have a real world mainstream challenger that is resistant to cooperation into the deadends of the #fashernistas while still feeding there egos. Its a plan http://unite.openworlds.info
