Just havimg read the toot and not seen the video. It a good plan.

The horizontalization needs to be at every level of the stack, though. Including at the network level. If there is a centralisation, at any single point of centralisation, a MITM (mafia in the middle) point, like a Cloudflare, it cannot get us where we need to go.

@dsfgs we are a step away project, so are happy to balance what works #4opens we use and abuse the #dotcons for #openweb social ends. Thus are on #failbook and #twitter cross-posting content from the #openweb to give people a hand so they glimpse the path to step to #OMN

In our experience there are increasing liabilities and #opportunityCosts to be on a #dotCon.

We would hear stories of its a platform to reach ppl, but those days of it being a viable platform, faded especially #post2016.

If you are about to use it effectively reach new users can create genuine social change, we salute you. Our experience is those opportunities have been closed.

The leak of the 2million on fb, permitted to have speech, speaks volumes. Maybe you are a lucky one.

@dsfgs you are right posts on the #dotcons do not go far, being pushed into the shadows by the advertising algorithms. But more than 90% of people are still there. So a helping hand in a small way is still #4opens process.

Probably the most horizontal thing that one can do is print hashtag (#) fediFlyer, and ask people on their commute whether they are "fed up with the online algorithms dictating what they can see and say online".

Awareness that an alternative exists is a major hurdle that stops people from challenging status quo. Only when people see that an alternative might work will they feel comfortable with the idea of being shadowBanned by a dotCon.

We are currently banging our head agenst p2p video streaming. #peertube has implemented two different protocols and removed the direct download switch in the admin UX and https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin-configuration we have unexplained very long buffering trying to fix this.
