The Fulcrum 10 April, 2026

Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum.

It’s your weekly review of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. We aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

IMHO, the best way to do […]

@witchescauldron I know 'it needs to happen' but I just couldn't get on with #OMN . Being ancient I've returned to the world of printed hard copy #ThePembrokePapers . I know small town newspaper (7,000 pop.) but enough social media savvy readers who spread the word. Just keep dropping pebbles in pools, we all count. #Solidarity ✊🏾💖

#OMN is not a finished answer, it is an attempt to walk this last path seriously, in practice, not just in theory. Practical tech philosophy https://hamishcampbell.com/practical-tech-philosophy/

The economics side of this is likely impossible in the first version... this leave a lot of room for creativity in the second version, but only if we can get the first version done #OMN

Beyond Blocking: Building Trust Infrastructure for the Open Web

A Policy Case for Commons-Based Moderation in the Fediverse The problem with the current approach The normal response to harmful content and behaviour on federated social platforms today is the block. Instance administrators block other instances. Users block other users. Communities build blocklists and share them. This is understandable - it is the tool available - but it is not a solution. It is, at best, a temporary containment strategy. Blocking is the digital equivalent of closing […]

Why you should help

The internet's public square is privatised, algorithmically controlled for "engagement" over any idea of truth, and placed under the control of a handful of American corporations with no accountability to European citizens or values. The #Fediverse is the most credible existing alternative - but it lacks the shared infrastructure to function as a native commons for news and media. #OMN builds that infrastructure: trust-based, community-controlled, transparent, reversible, and owned by nobody.

What if media was just flows of content that communities shaped themselves? No algorithmic feeds, no platform lock-in, no hidden control. That's what we're building with #OMN — infrastructure for a democratic digital commons. #openweb #Fediverse
