#openweb funding issues. When I have time, going to go through the NGI list from a right/left prospective to put some numbers into the arguments to make them clearer. We need some focus to move away from the current #geekproblem as the funding for the grassroots side of it ramps up and pours down the drain.
An interesting mess to escape from for meany in the social tech feald. How can you move away from something you cannot/chose not to see... #blind #blocking #geekproblem ideas in a toot :)
If you are interested in how i use the hashtag #geekproblem you can find a lot of background here http://hamishcampbell.com/tag/geekproblem/ we have to address this to play a meaningful role in challenge/change that is needed in #mainstreaming society.
Am kinda realizing that the #geekproblem do not have a clue to the value of the #OMN project, as its value is outside their narrow value set. They are blind and to cape this they have NO motivation to see, what to do with this mess?
Just about all "progressive" tech funding drifts off into pointlessness pretty fast #geekproblem
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.

Q. Also that whatever process people use, it needs to work in the mess.
A. In tech outreach work using the hashtag #geekproblem to highlight the “need for control” that is a clear block and not a solution to the very human mess we are in. We need to build structers/code where we “lose” control of our current #mainstreaming agenders and take “control” by building bridges and holding these human bridges in place, so we can choose different paths.
#nothingnew is a guiding light in this project to mediate the #geekproblem #stupidindividualism and the #deathcult (understanding comes from fallowing flows to their source #4opens)
The #geekproblem is a general issue of misunderstanding of “total control” and what it is to be human. The #encryptionists are an example of this, that have been dominate for the last 10 years, the solution to everything is “privacy” “lock down” isolated individualism, me only me “no such thing as society only individuals and their family’s”.
The need for control and security is at the base of our #geekproblem culture, it is an inhumane outcome, code should always be messy as should our society.
Do you remember when all our #encryptionist #geekproblem crew were recommending we used #VPN 's then this is a good video to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVDQEoe6ZWY never trust these crew please.
Vote #openweb
There are world view gaps that make this a hard bridge to hold in place.
Example Diaspora and RSS based networks - the young Turks did a CLOSED network and shouted down the existing OPEN networks... 10 years go by, and we have to reinvent RSS+ as #activertpub to launch open networks - talking about examples like this when i talk about the #geekproblem and #encrypinists
The 10 years that is missing is the problem.
What people likely hear beers little relation to what am saying.
The #openweb has a fatal case of “herding cats” with its development and agender being pushed by #fashionista #encryptionist #geekproblem and #process
AP by going the “standards root” made it out of this mess and gained a wide user base of “cats” and increasingly normal human beings.
In this history on balance, we “failed” as much as they seceded.
On the subject of the #geekproblem yes we need social understanding of technology - all code is ideology solidified and put into motion to have a social affect.
Currently, often the "ideology" is little more than the #deathcult hidden by "kind words" - this is always a bad thing, and a very common bad thing.
This is a nice project https://homebrewserver.club though its still a full on part of the #geekproblem as the tools are way to hard for even semi normal people to try and use. So its a .001% project trying to be outreach with #BLOCKING tools.
From a few years ago:
Not for the first time and likely not the last time. Misunderstanding of what am saying/talking about. To be clear the #geekproblem is complex in that its at root a unhealthy/inhuman desire for total control.
The federated model is both pandering to the problem, here have control and diluting the problem by spreading it thinly and then turning it into vapour #4opens ie. It's a kind of step away if you understand the problem is there to stepaway from 🙂
Its more complex than good/bad
#geekproblem the desire to control
#fahernisat the desire to belong
#dotcon the desire to be rich
Desire is a human thing that can be healthy and unhealthy. I think the is a common understanding of the problem with geeks. Fashion is a bedrock of capital driven consumerism, as is the desire to be rich.
The interesting/powerful thing is to call people and groups out from their unhealthy desires.
And in reaction nurture good desires.
Think the thing that courses the tech churning is a lack of respect for joined up social thinking in the #geekproblem world view. This tiny minority think they can invent from their limited social experience and ignore the wider social context and history of radical movements. This is why the work that come from this always fails humane agenders and thus feeds the dominant pointlessness.
The #fedivers has fallowed this in that it is direct copy’s of existing useful #dotcons - peertube is youtube, pixalfeed is Instagram etc. On balance has been positive, though not without its problems. Has clearly overcome the last 10 years of pointless in #geekproblem alt-tech for now.
