Q. A few comments on your excellent video. Your page layout is driven by desktop. Nowadays, people think mobile first. The rollback: an interesting idea. A.

A news project for the fediverse

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,…
A simple look at the #OMN project
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.

Worth a read to see the issue of feeding off the state and the VC poison that shapes the #fashernista ploughing over grassroots by the #deathcult These people are…
Dogmatic liberalism and the geek
Good to look at data and metadata for what it is, social glue that holds society together. Our #deathcult worship separates and atomise people, as does privacy and security coded by the #geekproblem Take a moment to step back, our contemporary coding is shaping https://www.britannica.com/topic/liberalism It’s obviously true that society/ecology is sick from this blinded…
Influx of EU funding into the Fediverse
#Openweb – all together push through, the HARD block crumbles. Getting a good outcome is hard… feeling this influx of EU funding is going to do damage and little good to the #Fediverse health if it keeps funding as its current agenda. Though the Fediverse is drifting from its own lifestyle mess… Let’s try and…
#indymediaback is a #openweb project of consensus based radical grassroots journalism
The #IMC project is an affinity group – so we are planing to work through consensus and diversity of strategy to move the project past where it was ripped apart by internal stresses after 10 years of running as a successfully worldwide radical grassroots media project.
