#fashionistas are always in part a reflection of the #mainstreaming agenda, as are the #geekproblem I think we need to change the mainstream to bring change to these groups.

#OMN #OGB #indymediaback are paths to this change.

@dsfgs @matera it works at my end but the server is running on low ram due to no funding for needed upgrade.

The whole project needs funding #OMN

Long post on the pushing of change in the use of #hashtags

https://medium.com/chris-messina/the-problem-with-the-problems-with-hashtags-35d4ba29b04d

Gives you some idea of why we base the #OMN on focksonermy use.

@mlncn @jerry and how do we do this #OMN

@jerry just highlighting what can be done, doing it is another thing, the question I am asking is where are the crew for this #openweb reboot #OMN :)

@witchescauldron

I have looked at #OGB https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/openwebgovernancebody before! I've gone a step further and registered for an account with the repository now.

I'll take a closer look at the other projects in the #OMN space also that are listed at https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/projects

#modteam this instance is costing : $39.00/month we don't get in a fraction of this from here https://opencollective.com/open-media-network this is completely unsuitable. Please put in a monthly donation to keep the #OMN instances online, thanks.

Support the #openweb

@jerry Humm... Let me see what's wrong we do need more #4opens sys admins to help out on this #openweb project #OMN

The project has been running for over ten years and operates with an #openprocess. Users can become mods after being involved for a period of time. The modding process is based on a clear project statement and encourages a respectful and inclusive community.

The #OMN is related to the #visionontv project, a grassroots media project that creates and distributes independent video content. The two projects share values and goals in promoting alternative media and challenging mainstream narratives.

The #OMN (Open Media Network), is a decentralized network of media sites that share content and promote independent media. To provide an alternative to #mainstreaming media by creating a network of interconnected sites that prioritize openness, collaboration, and decentralization.

The importance of grassroots community-driven media, where people and groups can create and share their own content. To challenge the dominance of #mainstreaming media and promote a more equitable and just society.

#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.

20 years of #dotcons selling us libertarian individualism to push aside collective support of the "revolutionary" #openweb which is when we last had left tech power.

For this 20 years we have had #geekproblem pushing #closedweb as left tech, this is OBVIOUSLY a disaster we can't keep doing. Yes, let's not get into a prat fight, this is needed as a supplementary.

Yep, we have had 20 years of #dotcons selling us libertarian individualism to push aside collective support of the "revolutionary" #openweb which is when we last had left tech power.

#Lemmy and #kbin are clones of #Reddit, a libertarian individualist codebase built to feed from our "communities". In this Lemmy etc are good #4opens step away from the #dotcons but not radical left project beyond this first needed step.

#indymediaback #OGB #OMN #makeinghistory are projects building to stride away from the current mess.

@strypey @dragonfly yep this is the bases of the ten year #OMN project and its of shoots #indymediaback #makeinghistory #OGB etc

The is a video on this https://visionon.tv/w/p/qrHC63o5hRX87NGt6ab3CE

Let's look at the social and political ground the owners of our "new" social media stand on:

X (twitter) is far right
Threads (Facebook/Instagram) corporate right
Nostor Libertarian right

Mastodon centre left

That's it, we have no real left-wing social media, good to keep this in mind when supporting projects #OMN

The "tragedy of the commons" is complex as it's a real thing inside capitalism, and we do all live inside capitalism, so it's a real thing. For it not to be a real thing, you will need to change the human world to live in a different economic syteam to capitalism - this is a challenge.

So functualy it is a real thing that we encounter in most alternatives. Best to keep this in mind when building alts #KISS

#OMN #indymediaback #OGB #visionontv etc :)

@glennf it's a bit more complex than this, as it's a real thing inside capitalism, and we do all live inside capitalism so it's a real thing. For it not to be a real thing, you will need t change the human world to live in a different economic syteam to capitalism - this is a challenge.

The #OMN instances are based on the history of "offline" activism. #Activism is the crusty protest camp and #campaign, a #NGO office. #OMN value is that we "bridge" the two and keep this bridge in place

So protest camps have their share of "nutter" mess and the #NGO offices have the power politics mess. Let's try and get the two to compost this messy aproch to social change and challenge.
