Knock, Knock #hashtags are a form of organising first and self expression second.
Most #hashtag usage is a function of #stupidindividualism this is a problem as the is strong #DIY value in hashtags. They are a tool for organizing outside the #dotcons constraints they are not a toy for childish individualism - now that is NOT a controversial thing to say in the #XR era.
It's now hard to get an easy view of the death of #indymedia as a lot of the most shitty behaver was taken offline as a part of the ripping that tore the project apart. This is a problem that we strongly need to mediate when implementing "individualistic" rights/workflows. We need to keep metadata flows intact to build trust and history this raises questions on the balance between privacy and transparency.
Good (non-neutral) write up of the #death of #indymedia https://sheffield.indymedia.org.uk/2011/04/478397.html we need to not repeat this mess for #indymediaback
How do movement die. Some #indymedia crew trying to unblock the ossification and growing open/closed conflict https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2008/02/391385.html
The start of the end for #indymedia with the project splitting into open/closed and the growing intolerances on both sides https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/02/391384.html
What should #indymediaback look like?
This gives a good timeline from the mess in the USA https://video-player.buzzfeed.com/embed?transcoder_path=%2Fhive-binaries%2Fbinaries%2F35f37464450f494ab21fe5b9bf7c85d6%2FImpeachment_2.0_2_9-1_00_PM_-_2_00_PM-impeachment_2_day_1_long_clip-2021-02-09.mp4

Self-promotion in the fediverse:
Dansup, a pro: here's some screenshots of exciting features that will one day come to my home-spun federated server!
Me, a troglodyte: here's some screenshots of my frontend, plus daily updates about my spaghetti code hobbled together through reading tutorials, and me constantly indicating that I barely know what I'm doing.

looking at the current site although Peertube can work well it is sometimes laggy, and people have got used to the video playing in 1-2 seconds, if they don't see it they assume something is wrong unless they *really* want to watch it (and there is so much competing for attention nowadays) - even YouTube loses viewers when their servers lag (which can happen quite often)

the blogpost explains #4Opens well enough, I think what is needed are more examples of sites using these principles and maybe also to get these into other sites that aren't single political campaigns but "fun" sites too for sharing art, music, entertainment videos etc (working on PeerTube might be a way of doing this)
The #geekproblem is coding for Serenity/security/certainty where it does not exist - this is the root to the withering tree of digital fascism.
It's anti-human not surprisingly.
The #geeksolution is trusting in humane networks to build their own workflow of "trust" this is the root to #4opens democracy.
This is human, all to human.
Yes I really do use the word "fascism" as this is where the current #techshitpile leave us with the pushing of #climatechoas driving righwing politics.

Its democracy or widespread death and despair...in the digital era you can't run democracy without the #4opens so this has to be at the root of our garden of ideas.
How would you edit the #4opens to make it more understandable for outreach http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/projects/4opens/
We live in a "post truth" world where our everyday life is shaped by "cults" http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2021/02/09/the-is-a-good-seed-of-a-different-view-in-the-omn-project/
We live in a "post truth" world where our everyday life is shaped by "cults" on one side you have the air we breathe #deathcult of neo-liberalism on the other you have blocking the bridges and languishing in jails the #lifecult of #XR both in their ways are "cults".
Why #indymediaback is not a pointless radical tech project. http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/2021/01/31/churning-of-pointless-tech-projects/
