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…
People BLOCKING the needed process, or more normally simply ignore it.
If you keep doing the same thing, there will be the same outcome. Different world views have different process and sometimes different outcomes.

#mainstreaming is obviously a #deathcult we do need to keep saying this
#mainstreaming is obviously a #deathcult we do need to keep saying this. There are well document alt’s that I push with every use of the hashtags #OGB #OMN #4opens etc. The problem we way too often face is people wanking liberal “common sense” in the era of the #deathcult so need to make this point…

Pushing ideas to “protect the commons” almost always ends up distorting the commons, there is a history in nature to this. As the article says in a round about…
Stepping away from our tech mess – you need to compost it
It’s good that people try not to push pointless tech projects… And the majority of new tech projects are obviously pointless. To get an idea of what to push do a #4opens review and publish this, let’s build a community of useful tech together. We need to do better. #techchurn has made so much #techshit…
