Let’s talk about the journalism
How do we move the #indymediaback project forward. let’s start with history. The editorial workflow of #OMN is based on #indymediaback which is based on basic grassroots journalism growing from radical anarchist traditions. The newswire is made up of original content published to the site and aggregated flows from a trust network of #4opens sites…
History’s of #indymedia are full of academic wank
The Problem of Academics Covering Activism, in activism, particularly within grassroots movements like #Indymedia, there is a significant disconnect between academic interpretations and the realities on the ground. This gap is not a matter of perspective but represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the dynamics and operational mechanisms of activist movements. The disconnect, academics gravitate towards…
Churning of pointless tech projects
Almost everything made in alt-radical tech is obviously pointless and only feeds #fahernista churn. Why #indymediaback is not a pointless radical tech project. #nothingnew mediates the churning of pointless tech projects by building things that already work. In the #fedivers we use this tradition to replace existing #dotcons projects as new #openweb projects This replicating…
The #openweb is a space for both progressives and reactionary groups
One thing we need to address now in a constructive way is that the right-wing has been better about co-operating around #openweb media than the left-wing for the last 10 years. We have been worse than useless on simple things like linking between radical media projects. The few successfully left media groups have abandoned alt…

Have a read through the issues and…
The current mess and the media
You all built the #dotcons that gave him the power… phww… please try to do better next #indymediaback Q. The far right have mastered the internet for recruitment and disinformation, the rest of us are barely in the game, would a completely regulation free internet not benefit them and lead to fascism? If so, how…
Next step in the #OMN
The majority of #mainstreaming #openweb tech projects have the assumption that human nature is a fixed thing and that every project has to be built in reaction to the 40 years of neo-liberal #deathcult that we all live in now as this is the “only” human nature visible. They completely miss/ignorer the social nature of…
Let think about where the #BLOCKS are on grassroots media.
#stupidindividualism and the #deathcult that breeds this 1) One of the main ones is co-option by #NGO agender, both, by organizations who push for “common sense” #dotcons paths and individuals who strive to build their careers by trampling over the grassroots horizontality. 2) Second, I know a lot of people who would fuck over the…
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…
