The #techshit #churning and #fashernista problem we have suffered from the last 15 years. Composting is a good use for #hashtags, but the is strong #blocking on this use.

The mess we have made with #postmodernism and #neoliberalisam of the last 40 years needs a path out of.

We can all agree it's a mess, can we agree to pick up shovels to compost this mess

@jonny am more thinking of #techshit #churning and #fashernista problem we have suffered from the last 15 years. Composting is a good use for #hashtags, but the is strong #blocking on this use.

By reacting to #mainstreaming you are pushing #mainstreaming to try and step away from this kinda #fashernista behaviour you should take an alt path and stick to it, this is better if this path is progressive and socially changing #KISS

The #OMN is a project focused on linking alt/grassroots media. In the context of the need for a rebooted #openweb and avoiding the #blocking of this by #fashernista and #geekproblem agenda.

#fashernista and the media are always a problem that is hard to do anything about. They shift the focus from the grassroots to themselves and tell #mainstreaming stories because this is what the media wants to hear.

The undercurrents that are the story drifts back into the flow and nothing is understood, no change or challenge happens.

We are sold for someone's fragile egos' moment of feeling important.

This is crap behaviour.

#deathcult warns of the dangers of greed and how it harms others. Another hashtag, #fashernista, spoke of how materialism and consumerism leads people astray.

#deathcult talked about how some people were only focused on making money, even if it hurt others. Another hashtag, #fashernista, showed how people were always slaving to make new things, even if they didn't need them.

The #hashtags embody a story and world-view that are rooted in a progressive and critical perspective on technology and society. They highlight the negative impact of neoliberalism (#deathcult) and consumer capitalism (#fashernista) on society, and promote the original ideals of the World Wide Web and internet culture (#openweb).

The #OMN is a project focused on linking alt/grassroots media. In the context of the need for a rebooted #openweb and avoiding the #blocking of this by #fashernista and #geekproblem agenda.

#fashernista individuals and groups have a desire to be seen as successful and important, a tendency to focus on flashy and trendy technologies, rather than practical and sustainable solutions. Prioritizing personal gain and self-promotion over the needs of the community. In the context of the #openweb and alternative media, #fashernistas can hinder progress and innovation by pushing for narrow, individualistic solutions that do not align with the #4opens principles and community-building.

Additionally, the #fashernista crew, who do not have any understanding of the technical aspects, may also push for its implementation without considering its suitability for the problem at hand. This can result in a mess and the decline of the #openweb, as well as the erosion of our already fragile social fabric by more #dotcons. It is important to critically evaluate the use of blockchain and other technologies to ensure they are being applied in a practical and useful way.

It is important to be clear about the intended outcome and the methods being used to achieve it. The use of hashtags, such as #OMN, #4opens, #deathcult, and #fashernista, can be helpful in communicating these distinctions and framing the conversation around social change and activism.

By using hashtags like #OMN, #4opens, #deathcult, #geekproblem, #encryptionist, #stupidindividualism, #dotcons, and #fashernista, the OMN crew is trying to reboot an old way of thinking about technology and politics. These hashtags and both simple and serve as shorthand for complex ideas and concepts, and help to convey the #openweb perspective on the current state of technology and politics.

It is important to remember that the #EU funding for the #openweb should be used to support grassroots projects and communities, rather than feeding the #dotcons #fashernista and #geekproblem that can lead to #techchurn and a loss of focus on the real goals. It is crucial that we push back hard on this and advocate for a balance of good vs damage, and strive for a more inclusive and community-driven approach to funding and decision-making in our #openweb ecosystem.

Now that the #fashernista are talking about online "governance" We have been talking about this for two years on the #FEDIVERSE you can see the to be coded project text here https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/openwebgovernancebody/wiki/01.-Online-Governance

@Hamishcampbell There are two authors. Do you mean to apply the term to both? (Took me some scrolling to decode that #fashernista comes from 'fashion' ie following fashion ie driven by hype. Right? At first glance I thought it came from 'fascist' like 'fashy'.)

Maybe I understand the meaning now?

A US focus story https://dl.acm.org/doi/fullHtml/10.1145/3485447.3512282 on the tech tribe we are a part of. This tells a part of the untold actavism #openweb story, but good to note that the author is a #fashernista who took a spy cop on a tour of the global movement back in the day, so a bit of a prat ;)

@nwchapman @dsfgs @atomicpoet @mensrea @gisiger @lightone

This is a non political idea, path so likely will not have the effect you are looking for.

What is the politics of the fedivers and how can we empower/embody this?

The #OGB is a path that would work, if we can build a way past the #geekproblem and #fashernista #blocking to put "nobody" in charge.

@MediaActivist humm... #fashernista history is not very real, n the sense of grassroots histories. The #mainstreaming of punk is a good example of this. It's a match for hippy capitalism, in my view.

@EU_Commission ahaaaa... the is bad and only a tiny bit good

#fashernista are not going to help, and this is what you will end up with filling your European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency with.
