We fucked up… and that matters because we still have agency

Let’s start with the uncomfortable truth: we fucked up the last 20 years of #openweb tech. Not “they” fucked it up.

This event is both a breath of fresh air and helps to highlight the stress between open/closed in our tech/power social relations, #techmess is good if it leads to people fixing things :)

What are the #4opens and why can they help to get us out of the current #techmess you can take a step to finding out here https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/Open-Media-Network/wiki/4opens

This is the space to talk about the Gita and the wider #OMN projects. The #4opens are a kinda of constitution that keeps the “post truth world” at bay. As long as you keep the #4opens in place and respect the diversity they hold in place.
