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.

The value of the #Fediverse comes from its cultural roots in the #openweb

YOU can’t do social change or challenge without annoying people If you think you can, you’re probably play-acting - and part of the problem - does that annoy you? If it does… maybe sit with that. 🙂 Food for thought, #4opens is a shovel for composting. The value of the #Fediverse comes from its cultural roots in the #openweb. The tech - like ActivityPub - grew out of that culture. It wasn’t built by #mainstreaming interests. Now money is flowing in, and with it comes risk of […]

Only more and more demand. We are still accelerating towards collapse.

Nothing would make me happier than being wrong about all of this.

In the open vs closed battle, it’s not as simple as it looks - especially in the mess we’re in.

CLOSED → conservative / fear / control
OPEN → progressive / hope / trust

The Digital Commons: The Ground We Already Stand On

At #NOAW event I talked a lot about the digital commons so thought it might be useful to write a post grounding this. The digital commons are not a future vision, it’s something we already have. At its simplest, the digital commons are the widely used #4opens digital resources of software, knowledge, data, and culture created collectively, governed by communities, and made available for public (re)use. This is the native path of the #openweb it's been around for a long time, it might be […]
