An #openweb organic intellectual,technologist and part of the #OMN
The are few if any working humane alternatives to the current #deathcult worship, thus for meany stepping away from this mess is simply not an option. The #OMN is about proof of concepts to build off what we know works combined with the new technology of federation (activitypub) to scale these small scale to wider … Continue reading A simple look at the #OMN project
Facebook is nothing to do with anarchy, it was set up to sell people’s attention to advertisers, so it’s actually about social control as are all #dotcons #failbook algorithms are defined to create divisions and arguments, so best not to talk about core activist things on here. Just give the clear, simple outreach messages … Continue reading Social media is a drug, we need to stop the self/movement harm now #OMN
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 … Continue reading Misunderstanding – Out reaching the #OMN #openweb projects.
The big #fedivers is run in the voluntarist economic model of patron and donations to cover basic costs. The technical federation allows this to happen at a humane scale. This was how #indymedia was run for 10 years – not without stresses that we do need to mediate. at the #OMN we have seed funding … Continue reading Doesn’t OMN need to fit into some economic relationships?
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 … Continue reading What is the #OMN project for

We live in a “post truth” world where our everyday life is shaped by “cults” on one side you have the air we breathe #deathcult of neo-liberalism on the other you have blocking the bridges and languishing in jails the #lifecult of #XR both in their ways are “cults”. I am struggling to articulate what … Continue reading The is a “good” seed of a different view in the #OMN project
I have found memories of fighting the Power Politics of the “undead left” during the London Social Forum many years ago – lots of knotted strings of organic garlic around the top “taking the power table” to highlight the uncomfortable “undead left´s” grasping for power. Then the ad hock crew taking away the top table … Continue reading Thinking about #OMN from 4 years ago
Just about all tech and political projects are pointless “A river that needs crossing political and tech – On the political side, there is arrogance and ignorance, on the geek side there is naivety and over complexity” A solution to this churning is “nothing new” as most of the issues we face have already been … Continue reading The #OMN is built from 30 years of working at the coal face of grassroots media and tech
* Capitalism wants to privatise metadata to the #dotcons and the capitalist then control the government – fascism is back into fashion. * Chinese communism, wants the state to control the metadata, so they can control capitalism, we are back to the command economy just digitised. * Liberalism want to privatise metadata to the individual … Continue reading A conversation on #OMN issues around metadata
Q. “We’re supposed to think of #metadata as less than #data, but it isn’t: often it is more. . .#govts that want to control their people & crush #dissent want #metadata.” #privacy #Whatsapp #BigTech This is an interesting point, but it only makes sense if you see people as isolated individuals and the being no … Continue reading What does anarchism want #4opens #OMN is an attempt to find an answer
