@whitequark I'll see your three F's, and raise you #4opens

A post from 2 years ago. The influence of NGOs in social activism raises concerns https://hamishcampbell.com/the-influence-of-ngos-in-social-activism-raises-concerns/ By resisting centralisation and embracing the #4opens, we can help ensure these spaces remain progressive, participatory, and free.

In the #geekproblem mindset, crossing a protocol flow is a gateway. In #OMN, it’s a bridge.

That’s the difference between CONTROL and TRUST. A gate is locked. A bridge lets things flow. In the real world, we don’t put gates on bridges.

Strange how that basic truth gets lost in code metaphors.

#RSS is a bridge.
Closed APIs are gates.

#blocking is complex, but often a symptom of a deeper problem - people often retreating into rigid, internalised worldviews rather than engaging.

It’s easy to dismiss, harder to build bridges.

Any ideas on how we reduce pointless conflict without exhausting ourselves?

Coming out of #noaw this is a good post - What could a #4opens world look like? https://hamishcampbell.com/what-duse-a-4opens-world-look-like/

Reducing fear at scale usually requires: stronger communities, trustworthy “native” institutions using #4opens communication to drive real participation in building visible alternatives. Individual fears https://hamishcampbell.com/individual-fears/

The #EUcorruption #4opens team is about making public the mess the #EU crew make of tech. And in contrast celebrating when they get anything right.

It's about balance not only criticism #KISS

@danie10 @ki @gsymon @EUCommission Any idea if this is public or private, funding, ownership etc.

Is it based on exiting #FOSS projects or more #techshit to compost? Are they adding to the commons or privatising it?

Who wonts to join the team composting #EU #techshit corruption as they will likely be spending billions on this over the next few years, It could be used for good, but more likely just mess making.

For #openweb work, a useful rule of thumb is: Keep the core simple. Focus funding on maintaining the #4opens infrastructure. A note to #FOSS funders https://hamishcampbell.com/a-note-to-foss-funders/
