The #encryptionists push stuff that the #fashernista crew then push and the outcome a mess and the decline of the #openweb and resulting ripping of our threadbare social fabric by the #dotcons https://thecorrespondent.com/655/blockchain-the-amazing-solution-for-almost-nothing/86714927310-8f431cae Who has a spade?
Are your viral left mems a problem rather than a solution
“comedy” and “sarcasm” have both been a relevant reaction to the control of the #dotcons of our personal communication and communities. This actually is an unhealthy reaction, as it feeds clicks to the very thing it ridicules. Data is just data. The solution is not to engage, rather to “#stepaway” and take your community with…
What is the Open Media Network (OMN)
The project is to decisively shift power from the geeks and admins to the producers and consumers of media.

In terms of general direction, the activitypub etc doesn’t inspire me in terms of rethinking media. I will continue my #postmedia project, which has quite different axioms,…
Not scaling is a feature not a problem in federated networks
With the shift from silos to federation for our core social infrastructure, we need to rethink the values embedded in the technology we use. The first one to look at is scaling, the whole technical stack/ programming thinking is currently based on this value if you want a definition of a #dotcons, it’s this, it…
#OMN a seed is planted
On the #OMN #indymedia reboot over this winter I planted a seed in the ground, the Berlin community watered it, waiting for it to sprout, then needs nurturing past the seedling stage to a healthy plant, the first step to healthy media forist. If you are interested in a flourishing alt-media garden get involved in…
