My indymedia story
#Indymedia was a decentralized, grassroots media network that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was founded on the principles of open publishing, direct democracy, and anti-authoritarianism. The project eventually experienced a split in the UK, with one side, the #fashernista, building an aggregating site and the other #geekproblem building a centralized silo.…
Archiveing the “commons” the #makeinghistorys project.
The #OMN are building this into the archiving nodes (see the #makinghistory project https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/MakingHistory) you can then choose to archive hashtags, and you can get a “lossy” view of what is backed up across the network you can see, so you can choose what to focus on your archiving then we rely on “institutions like…
Story about our EU outreach
Mastodon is a free, #4opens, decentralized microblogging platform that is part of the #Fediverse. The outreach of these technologies to the European Union started as a way to promote alternative models of the internet that were more inclusive, equitable, and empowering for users. The EU was seen as a natural fit due to its commitment…
An activist history of the web
The “better” #closedweb (ISP intranets) was “surprisingly” destroyed by the “inferer” #openweb, which then exploded in use to spread everywhere. The #mainstreaming thinking then tried and failed to recapture this #4opens project for ten years as it takes up global space, and was a real challenge change, that the “common sense” said should not exist.…
Talking about storys and #stupidindividualism
Q. One difficulty that I personally have with your communication methods is your use of hashtags that convey meaning to the people that already know and use them, but are opaque to someone who doesn’t know what they mean. You end up being only able to communicate with people within your own filter bubble. What…
Real social change needs shared storys
Horizontal people are always getting fucked over by vertical people as the first gives away “power” to build social where the second “concentrates” power to use individual. Horizontal only has social outcomes if the is a shared world view. It is easy to defeat if it has non #stupidindividualism ——————- Examples of shared world views…
The #hashtags are from a “prospective” thus push rejection from people outside that perspective.
The verticals are unthinking in their higherarckeys, this makes the “value” of the horizontals to be a negative thing. The horizontals hate the “power” playing of the verticals and take every messier to block their outcomes. The world is actually one of balance, where both views have roles and values that shift in relation to…
The #hashtags tell a storie
Dot for profit for few con for the rest – took over the #openweb during the #dotcom era. #stupidindividualism is our internal poison that we breed from the #deathcult #failbook will/has failed us as individuals and as a society. #openweb is a good view of what we had and what we won’t. #4opens is a…
Q&A what is a fashernista in the hashtag way.
Q. I’ve read a lot of your stuff but I’m hoping you’ll clarify something. What’s a “fashernista”? A. A large part of society who do what’s fashionable. Not what’s right/wrong/best. In the era of the #deathcult of neo-liberalism this has always been the wrong path to take. It’s a simple idea. men-make-their-own-history-but… #fashernista is a…
