I start to understand the misunderstanding, blocking many of the people outreaching the #OMN. It’s a DIY project there is the assumption that people will see the need and fill in the missing bits. The “missing bits” have a function, to be filled in otherwise we would be pushing clean non-messy #dotcons world view which…
We live in a world full of monsters dressed in fluffy clothes
Monsters, scratch our fluff crew, and they turn spiky, repression is a universal human problem to be mediated. The subject of the fluffy/spiky debate – respect for diversity and the desire for debate based on this respect is a core outcome. We need to build bridges. If you suffer from stress in this context, please…
On the wider subject of this thread, Identity politics and the agender it pushes.
In the face of growing #climatechoas and our attention being trapped inside the #dotcons I see most people as complete fantasists and see the worship of the #deathcult as their main motivation. In the next 5-10 years I see a lot of BLOCKING and lots of blowing of smoke to cover this behaver. I live…
Talking to the burocractic coop crew
A. I find it interesting, and revealing, that nobody here actually talked about what the thried was about Online governance – openwebgovernancebody – Gitea: Open Media Network 1 If you can look outside your world view… We are doing a funding proposal to do the simple well tested project/workflow (which we know dues not scale)…
Been takeing part in online #openweb events – and resisting the urge to bite people.
Looking at this event https://2021.ngiforum.eu Way to meany stuffed shirts, technological fantasists (blockchain) and a lot of #EU money what could go wrong… Spent a hour looking through the list of participants opening in new tab all that said something interesting. Of these more than 2/3’s had the tag blockchain so closed them, and then…
Knight foundation and its impact on grassrots media and the #openweb
Dropped into the events for this https://knightcolumbia.org/events/reimagine-the-internet if you won’t an example of pouring hundreds of millions of $$$ down the drain the Knight foundation is it. This is normal, but by doing this they shaped the agender of the #openweb for the last 10 years, this is a problem, a BIG problem, they need…
Some questions answered on fediverse “governance”
An important word that needs some thought is “permissionless” The body is made up of three different, balanced groups: Stakeholders – the people who do the work, who run/mod the fediverse Users – the people who use the tools/services, who use the fediverse The Affiliate Stakeholders – the people who commit time to support the…
There are circles in protest and most alternative grassroots movements
There are circles in protest and most alternative grassroots movements. It’s a moment of beauty when a group of people find power and worth in what they are/doing in reaction to #mainstreaming entrenched power pushing over them. But what happens next has a long much recurring bad outcome, so is worth taking a little time…
The geekproblem – humanity’s and science
Coding projects that come from the humanity’s general fail as they are not technically coherent and build out from abstract ideas without real relevance to lived humanity, they are too disconnected to become relevant to communertys of use. Coding from science tend to fail because they are inhuman, and are built for mashions. They serve…
Should we do something that is native to the Fediverse, and what would this look like?
The #Fediverse is #anarchism this is likely the best description of the community. A represents the Greek anarkhia (‘without ruler/authority’), and the circle can be read as the letter O , standing for order or organization. We currently have a Herding cats governance in the Fediverse and the projects that make it up An idiom…
