When people do not understand/respect the value in keeping the fluffy/spiky debate in place you end up like this https://the-crypto-syllabus.com/francesca-bria-on-decentralisation/ This is the problem, not the solution. Worth a read to see the issue of feeding off the state and the VC poison that shapes the #fashernista ploughing over grassroots by the #deathcult These people are…
Dogmatic liberalism and the geek
Good to look at data and metadata for what it is, social glue that holds society together. Our #deathcult worship separates and atomise people, as does privacy and security coded by the #geekproblem Take a moment to step back, our contemporary coding is shaping https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism It’s obviously true that society/ecology is sick from this blinded…
Influx of EU funding into the Fediverse
#Openweb – all together push through, the HARD block crumbles. Getting a good outcome is hard… feeling this influx of EU funding is going to do damage and little good to the #Fediverse health if it keeps funding as its current agenda. Though the Fediverse is drifting from its own lifestyle mess… Let’s try and…
#indymediaback is a #openweb project of consensus based radical grassroots journalism
The #IMC project is an affinity group – so we are planing to work through consensus and diversity of strategy to move the project past where it was ripped apart by internal stresses after 10 years of running as a successfully worldwide radical grassroots media project. To do this we have a #nothingnew policy beyond…
What is the #OMN project for
The #OMN is about building #KISS bootem up trust based media networks for publishing and soughing content with enriched metadata flows. In the end you have a “stupidly simple semantic web of media object “cauldrons” and flows build up from a local level. What you/we do with this is up to the users/producers… this is…
At the #OMN we have a number of #openweb tools for you to use
* A non filter bubble/not tracking search engine https://openworlds.info * A radical (fluffy/spiky) offline/online TV project http://visionon.tv * Social media, https://campaign.openworlds.info for fluffy and https://activism.openworlds.info for spiky. * #indymediaback test servers https://indymedia.openworlds.info and https://indymedia.hs2rebellion.earth and https://roadstonowhere.openworlds.info for testing and use. * A code hosting/organizing site https://unite.openworlds.info * Funding/money https://opencollective.com/open-media-network And we have chat/wikis, bots and…
Let’s talk about the journalism
How do we move the #indymediaback project forward. let’s start with history. The editorial workflow of #OMN is based on #indymediaback which is based on basic grassroots journalism growing from radical anarchist traditions. The newswire is made up of original content published to the site and aggregated flows from a trust network of #4opens sites…
Churning of pointless tech projects
Almost everything made in alt-radical tech is obviously pointless and only feeds #fahernista churn. Why #indymediaback is not a pointless radical tech project. #nothingnew mediates the churning of pointless tech projects by building things that already work. In the #fedivers we use this tradition to replace existing #dotcons projects as new #openweb projects This replicating…
Rolling out the test #indymediaback projects
https://indymedia.hs2rebellion.earth https://roadstonowhere.openworlds.info https://indymedia.openworlds.info We have a #activertypub codebase ready for testing, we have two campanes that asked for instances. We have stable hosting paid up for the next few years. What we don’t have is any on the ground outreach/training/networking due the covide shutdown. We have limited tech dev needed to update the code from…
