#indymediaback reboot is a return to the path of the #fashernitas, emphasizes open media and decentralized structures, rather than control and centralization. The aim to build an open media network (#OMN) that promotes direct democracy, open publishing.

The reboot acknowledges the risk of another split within the community, if some members push for a control/encryptionist path. The challenge is to find a way to navigate this without succumbing to tribalism and power politics.

The #indymediaback project is a reboot of the original #Indymedia project, which was a decentralized, grassroots media network that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The project aims to learn from the mistakes and challenges faced by the original Indymedia, particularly the split between the #fashernitas and #geekproblem factions.

The #IndymediaBack project aims to reboot the project before the split happened, around 2008, with a focus on the #fashernitas path of the splinter groups. This path emphasizes #openmedia and decentralized structures, rather than control and centralization. The project aims to learn from the mistakes of the past and avoid the same tribalism and power politics that led to the decline of the original project.

We do need to express contempt for what a lot of the assumptions and agenda (often unspoken) our #NGO and #fashernitas crew push. Yes, it's crap and pointless so please say this, in most cases the "emperor's" are not wearing any clothes. Express yourself please.

#Mozfest Is on if you want to see posers, #fashernitas and general #NGO pointless. I did sign up but when the time came to login I could not be bothered. I do use the browser though.

Anyone finds anything #openweb useful I should catch up on?

This fediforum thing is going to be a hardcore invisible clash of cultures, all the #fashernitas who stood back from the #ActivertyPub push for the last 5 years are now flooding in as are refugees from the encryptionist mess. The language might be #fedvers BUT most of the people will not be. Let's try and create focus, small steps.

@edsu ok going to read this when I have time, an interesting article from our #fashernitas on alt history of the #openweb
