Balancing the #mainstreaming mess by focusing on what’s “native” is a crucial step in rebooting the #openweb. Rather than outright rejecting things that don’t fit, the goal is to actively engage and mediate through pushback, ensuring that the core values are preserved while allowing space for broader participation. This approach helps prevent the dilution of…

Talking about #hashtags

Might be worth thinking if this could add value or is purely…

Thinking outreach of the hashtag story
Classification of different versions of the web (such as #Web1, #Web2, #Web3, #Web4, or #Web5) can be a source of confusion and FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). The hashtags #openweb and #closedweb provide a clear way to describe and understand the different types of web platforms. The #openweb refers to platforms that are open-source, community-controlled,…
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…

The #hashtags are from a “prospective” thus push rejection from people outside that perspective.

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…
To understand the social/tech #hashtags
To understand the social/tech #hashtags I have been using for the last 10 years you need to use a tool from political science called ideology. It’s a simple idea, widely excepted for the last 200 years. How it works, by looking at powerful social groups thinkers have “distilled” generalizations that hold these groups together and…

What are contemporary sins?
You rarely get anywhere by simply renaming things. All you do is lose the historical thried and then recreate the same mess. #Stupidindividualism is often the motivation for this, and it’s a big sin in the liberals and “post politics” crew. A metaphor that individualism makes us stupid and that to live outside a balance…
