Scrolls.. damn, this is good. But oh, .top, yay this can wait till Monday.

Yep there will be ongoing #blocking from the common sense monetizing people, at this stage we need to simply ignore this.
Though we do need seed funding for servers and subsistence for crew, we are running out of this, the #OMN servers are running on fumes.... as are the crew...
@yianiris @Fat_Farang
I think the is general agreement of broad issues @yianiris I talk about a lot of the issues you bring up on the site.
Yep, liberals have been hard blocking, but the right is now crushing them, which means they will be less #blocking for the left as well. It's naked class war ongoing. So it's more possible to build real affinity group radical progressive projects and infrastructure like #indymediaback using the #Fediverse as a good path to do this (with bridging to #p2p for repression and the more paranoid) #OMN
Who are the #nastyfew?
They are the people who always rise to the top when #mainstreaming takes hold. You see them on TV, in parliament, running #NGOs, managing #dotcons tech projects.
On the surface, they don’t always look bad – in fact, they often present as competent, articulate, even charming. But scratch that surface and the pattern is clear: their drive is not shared flourishing, it’s possession and control.
This minority #nastyfew, from a historical view, today’s bourgeoisie. As Marx outlined […]
Compost the blocking, keep the seeds alive, and make space for growth
It’s good to see more people turning their focus back to the #openweb. For the past five years of the #reboot we’ve been distracted in a signal-to-noise mess from the #fashionistas. That time needs to be over, we need to start looking clearly at both internal rot and the external threats.
A good first step is in balancing the realisation that we actually have far more direct power to deal with the internal mess than we do over the eternal #dotcons and their #closedweb “common sense”. […]

It's good to see people focusing on the #openweb, we have had a signal-to-noise issue from our #fashionistas for the last 5 years of the reboot, its pastime to focuses on issues internally and externally. As we have more direct power over internal mess than we do over the external #dotcons I am focusing activism on composting the internal #blocking https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=compost yep, we need to balance this with pushing back the #dotcons and there #closedweb "common sense". We have piles of #techshit to compost...
Why “teach everyone to code” has become a dead-end slogan
The geek answer (bad faith or blindness): “If only everyone learned to code, then society would be fairer.”
The activist answer: Code is part of the landscape, but culture, governance, and lived practice matter more. We don’t escape domination by teaching more people to type commands, we escape by changing what we do together with the tools.
Why “teach everyone to code” has become a dead-end slogan – it’s been tried, it’s been funded, and yet it hasn’t shifted power one bit. […]

@serapath the whole thing about social change by training programming is in theory a path, but it's a failed path for the last 20 years, and it's had amply funding and resources pushed at it so we have plenty of illustration of this fail.
This is another example of the blinded #geekproblem
I use the word blinded to illustrate that people can't see the sense in front of their faces #KISS
And I use the hashtag #blocking to show the outcome of this blindness #KISS
