Q. is there a non-techy alternative yet that i can suggest to my non-techy networks - theres this other place wihich is now ready to receive us, and is really easy to migrate to!
A. The answer is no and this will not change. The #openweb is not about monlithic structers of controle. But it is something better. People can be slaves or they can be free... your question: "Is the a better slavery out there" when you ask this question you need to think about this issue
Post on #failbook makes me realize that almost all my posts are saying you are a irisposable idiot to wont to stay inside facebook and for SOME look at your hand the is a bloody dagger that you used to murder the #openweb... its not a very inspiring message.
Think we need a truth and reconciliation commission on what happened to the #openweb and the people who murdered it. Otherwise the blood stains keep comeing back ;)
Found a circle on the #openweb talking about the #geekproblem the issue at the hart of the problem is that geeks can't see the problem. Go round a few circals with them and arrive no nearer them seeing the problem.
Q. What is the geek problem?
#failbook makes focus hard is something they used to complain about when #tredtionalmedia was still a relevant thing. Can see this on most thrieds i start. Its much better on the #openweb :)
http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2020/03/12/the-currency-of-the-21st-century-is-information/ talking to the #geekproblem is needed if we are to save what remains of the #openweb
intresting if hard to read post on censership and its function on the #openweb https://cjslep.com/c/blog/censorship-is-a-tool
From #failbook "When activity types of people ansear the #openweb posts here with pessimism then trolling. I am assuming they are talking about the last 10 years of the #encryptionists and in this I agree with them it was a wasted 10 years. But over the last few years we have had a #openweb reboot my question in the end is have they tried that at all? if its more trolling I am starting to mute them as the is little value left in #failbook
A lot of the more tech minded run workshops on campining on #dotcons as our ones healthy #openweb tools were ripped apart by the #geekproblem
You guys need to get busy with spades to compost the shit you spread around in the digital world. And spreading more shit just makes the alt a more smelly uninvited.
I put up with years of trolling on this subject. it's a good time to balance this and for the first time do something useful #omn
Have been trying to understand this codebase/project for the last few weeks https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/ OK starting to get what its for :) #openweb
What to do with this steeming pile of shit in the dusty backyard of our #openweb communerty.
Devastation becomes a Continuum that can be Gamed, a review of the 2020 Transmediale Symposium : Makery

Spade and compost heap comes to mind, lets plant some roses.
To repeat: #openweb tools move the power from "them" to "us" and likly amplify the power by a factor of 10, danguruse/interesting times we live in. We face #climatechaos and "us" is in urgent need of power to affect change in this. "They" have taken "our" power away from "us" and feed us "social media". CLICK CLICK CLICK #deathcult
Power always exists the important question is who has access to this power.
With the #dotcons its privatised to capital and state actors. With the #openweb it is shared to much wider social groupings. Using their tools, like, share, time on article, friend etc the data (value) is captured for their profit. Using our tools the #hashtag the data is kept (to a degree) in the #openweb and in the #4opens commons.
Its about who has the power, give it to "them" or share it with "us" its your choice.
How to get self hosting to work for the #openweb lets look at some basic ideas https://www.docker.com/blog/containers-are-not-vms/
#fashernistas are a large and growing in efficiency in the #dotcons and to a lesser extent on the #openweb as they push easy for profit bad solutions to meany daily needs.
A good way round this is to look for mean answers to questions rather than the mode answers?
Better ideas for solving the #fashernistas disaster advice?
Its very easy to have a #flamewar on #failbook as it drives ad views for the #dotcons. If you are progressive you could have a sensibly conversation on the #openweb with a few million other people were human activerty/community not ad driven consumerism is the outcome https://activism.openworlds.info/public
Talking to the #fashernistas on #failbook
Because the boring (satisfying) job of social change on the #openweb is a tiny fraction of the frivolous (empty) joy of sharing memes on #dotcons that is feeding the #deathcult that meme's are against. Its basic stuff.
