The #OMN is based on “nothing new” as a core project process. Though we do describe things in different ways than they are normally described, we use everyday metaphors for the language of computing and coding where necessary, we use nature metaphors where possible. We have lived in a deeply damaging era for the last…
What does anarchism want #4opens #OMN is an attempt to find an answer
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…
We need to talk about “metadata” and the “freemarkit”

Are you depressed with the world – A VERY positive world view for you
(For the complex crew, hold the shit and mud throwing as this post is not speaking to you) You might be wondering and feeling depressed from all my posts talking about YOUR responsibility for creating the current mess.

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…

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…
People send me links – one look is all it takes
My initial thought on most academia is wank, most is poisoned by the last 40 years of the #deathcult It’s better to go back to radical basics and reboot something from outside the poisoned mainstream, we are doing this with #indymedia reboot. Most “activism” from this source is little more than a funding drain 99.999%…
