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,…
Some Hashtags

In this, we need to take the “problem” out of…
A conversation on trust and tech with #OMN projects
Remember the #fedivers is built like this, no geek in their right minds would do this, yet we use it every day All our existing code is based on #feudalism master (admin) surf (user) this is why it is defenceless vs capitalism (#dotcons) There have been attempts to build democratic code, early #wikis, think #indymedia…
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. 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…

#stupidindividualism a full ideology with the last 40 years of #neoliberalism and a part of the liberal 20th century consensus. So it’s a strong #BLOCK Some ideas: * Every day, naming of the current “common sense” as worshipping the #deathcult is both true and useful in making #mainstreming uncomfortable. * The pushing of simple #KISS…
FUD is strong in tech
Q. Who creates a non-crypto-based Web-version calculator that has the complex algebra to determine if we deal with #Web1, #Web2, #Web3, #Web4 or #Web5? Or let’s keep things simple and go with #Web0 A. This stuff is now #FUD so best to start to ignore it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt Just keep it #KISS and use #openweb and…
A conversation on trust/control in social technology
Q. In a nutshell, my manifesto could be “form your own little communities and federate them” A. What would be the “common” understanding/agreements/standards that would bridge these communities, or would it Only be code, if only code what standards? Q.

How to fix the damege to the #openweb from the influx of #mainstreaming funding
We start with the assumption that 90-100% of funding on this subject is simply pored down the drain, most of it into pointless NGO projects and #fashernista individuals “careers”. The best #openweb funders I have found recently https://nlnet.nl/ who have money from NGI Zero which is from the EU https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/4opens/wiki/Funding-of-openweb-projects To fix some of these…
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…

We had no voice, only “cats” with everyone…
