Political and tech - On the political side, there is arrogance and ignorance, on the geek side there is naivety and over- complexity

Enclosure of the open web was a crime https://hamishcampbell.com/enclosure-of-the-openweb/ It wasn’t perfect, but it was a space of possibilities, commons, where you could take what you needed and leave something behind, hyperlink by hyperlink.

The mess we made with the #dotcons https://hamishcampbell.com/the-mess-we-made-with-the-dotcons/ Balancing this mess we made requires continuing efforts to promote decentralization, #4opens and “native” #openweb culture and infrastructure.

no the instincts are spot on

#Oxford example:
Oxford boaters want to be sovereign—to keep the free-flowing life of the river, not bound by the old rules of the landlords.

#Fediverse example:
The Fediverse is native to the #openweb path. We judge by the #4opens, and we walk with power.

I’ve been trying to find a way to express my view of the people who took over the outreach of the #Fediverse, and in doing so shape the #openweb reboot we helped co-create.

DRAFT: Naive, controlling, and self-interested. They’ve left a mess that those they pushed aside will now have to compost. How we ended up here is a question worth talking about more.

Since they have $100M in the bank, 3 is probably a way off. AFACT, they are currently doing both 1 and 2 in parallel; if you look at their protocol engineers, I do believe they are really all in on 1, but much of the rest of the company is taking every opportunity to act in a decentralized manner and going in the opposite direction.
