We are seeing a stinking mess of shit posting from the left and the right on the role of tech big and small in the senate “insurrection” . The voice of the centre right #traditionalmedia will push us back to the #dotcons gatekeepers they have started to criticized over the last 10 years. The opening…
The #openweb is a space for both progressives and reactionary groups

We have been worse than useless on simple things like linking between radical media projects. The few successfully left media groups have abandoned alt…

Anti dogmatic thinking
Brining #indymediaback The fallow flower beds/farm that is #indymedia needs to be bought back to life slowly with as little change to the structure as possible. In our current social tech state just about ANY change will start ripping and when this starts it escalates quickly to do real damage. The original 2000-2008’ish structures cover…
