In the hard right path, the #nastyfew are playing the Nazi card

DRAFT In the right-wing path, the #nastyfew are starting to play the Nazi card as mess making to mix social shit - the recurring claim that Nazism was a left-wing movement, or at least contains left-wing elements as a provocative and controversial statement. Let's take a few minutes to look at the core mess pushing argument (and Its confusion) Hard right talking points: It's still “an open question” whether Hitler’s ideology was left or right. Nazis called themselves “National […]

NOTHINGNEW (Estats Units) presenta nou àlbum: "A Path to Redemption and Ruin"

Enclosure, self is the death of collective meaning

#deathcult / #geekproblem / #nothingnew #Neoliberalism isn’t just an economic system, it’s a cult of self-enclosure. Its superpower? #stupidindividualism: turning people inward, away from shared life, into isolated fragments clicking, swiping, and scrolling through ruins. It disconnects us from collective being, and then sells the pieces back as "individual freedom." This isn't an accident. It’s the plan, a trick of enclosure, take a concept of civic breakdown and turn it into a […]

The #OMN is built on a simple, powerful truth: "This is the Internet."

GET
PUT
POST
DELETE
–MERGE–

These basic actions — close to the core HTTP verbs every website uses — are all you need to create, share, remix, and grow.
(From RFC 7231 and RFC 5789.)

Then you have the #4opens which are about reclaiming the grassroots social power of the web:

Open data

Open source

Open process

Open standards

No gatekeepers. No #dotcons middlemen. No closed silos. Just people, building together. This is what #openweb reboot looks like.

In the #openweb and #Fediverse spaces, it's worth remembering: Many people only value things once they’re validated by #mainstreaming sources. This is narrow, blinded behaviour — the kind that keeps the #deathcult fed.

If you only see value through the lens of #dotcons algorithms, you’re missing 90% of what actually matters.

A lot of the “famous” people in #mainstreaming — even on alt spaces — are assholes. Not because fame makes you bad, but because climbing the algorithm's ladder requires selfishness, ego, and conformity.

On alt platforms, sure, we have "our" assholes, that's life. But our assholes can be challenged, mediated, and composted into something better. On the #mainstreaming side? They're more shit on the corporate pile.

Please, don't bow down to them. Stay critical. Stay rooted. Keep your shovel handy.

From unstoppable slop, to #enshittification the #FT on the internet mess

#Mainstreaming talk about the internet so often completely misses the point, yep, it’s the FT so no surprise there. The actual internet, the one we built before the takeover, is a culture of #4opens protocols, stitched together with moth-eaten mythologies and messy traditions. It was never clean or pure, but it was ours. What this guy in the article is describing isn’t the internet, it’s the #dotcons layer that’s been built on top of that original infrastructure. Worse, it's one we […]

We compost now. That means naming the problems clearly — with #4opens, with #nothingnew, with #techchurn — and using simple, shared language to build trust again. Not trust in apps or brands, but in each other. The #Fediverse gives us a foundation. The hashtags give us a narrative. The compost gives us soil. It’s time to stop pretending we’re building something while we’re really just stacking junk. Stop chasing bling. Start seeding roots. Speak simply, act clearly, hashtag with intention. We've wasted a decade. Let’s not lose another.

Messy language feeds back into our culture

The #blocking of current action, the constant stalls, confusion, and fragmentation, has a lot to do with the mess our language makes. And the deeper issue is how this messy language feeds back into our culture, which then loops back to make the language even murkier. It’s a feedback loop that clouds meaning, erodes trust, and paralyses collective action. The last 40 years of postmodernism and neo-liberalism have made this worse. #Postmodernism chipped away at the idea of shared reality, […]

News, the signal-to-noise mess

Almost all our posting in the #openweb and in the #dotcons in response to #mainstreaming news is noise. It’s reactive, fragmented, performative. We scroll, we rage, we boost, we dunk, but we don’t build. Sometimes, someone posts something thoughtful, something deep, meaningful. But it vanishes in the churn. The system is designed this way. Even on our #openweb, where we have more autonomy, we are mirroring this spectacle path, feeding it attention, reposting its narratives, amplifying […]

Rebooting the #openweb in a good way

The #Fediverse exists, and more than that, it’s alive and kicking. Sure, it might be a messy, chaotic, a bit fragmented, and yes, still niche. But let’s not underplay it, this is the healthiest corners of the internet we’ve got. Tens of million accounts, hundreds of thousands active people, sometimes talking about how we build our digital spaces from the bottom up. Yep, there are the cat videos, the #fluffys and the #spikys. But also an in-group debate is bubbling away about who […]

The Failure of #Mainstreaming – What Comes Next?

It should be painfully obvious by now that all the current #mainstreaming paths have failed. Whether we look at politics, technology, media, or activism, the same patterns emerge, co-option, stagnation, and eventual collapse under their own mess and contradictions. The valid question isn’t whether mainstreaming has failed, it has. The real question is: What do we do about it? This applies just as much to our efforts to reboot the #openweb as it does to broader struggles in the "real […]

Building #OGB is about power without #powerpolitics

If we want the #openweb to survive and thrive, we need new forms of power, ones that can defend the community and challenge traditional power dynamics without falling into the traps of control, hierarchy, and co-option. The problem is clear: If we follow traditional power politics, which are built on control, manipulation, and exclusion, we will fail. We’ve seen this play out repeatedly, grassroots movements spark change, only to be then sold out and absorbed, neutralized by the […]

The #4opens vs. liberal tokenism in #openweb tech

The "social./bill-of-rights" is a new example of a well-meaning but toothless attempt at defining ethical tech. It’s the same process and project as the #4opens, but framed in a way that’s more palatable to liberal and capitalist interests. The difference? The #4opens isn’t just an appeal to values—it’s a functional way of judging developers and projects. #KISS For those who actually want to build a better #openweb, the real work is here: […]

rights.social./bill-of-rights this is exactly the same project and process as the just more liberal/capitalist friendly. And no teeth... it's an appeal to people - where the original and much older is that and more importantly it's a way of judging devs

#Techshit Hype – #NothingNew

The is nothing new to pointing out that our #fashionistas #mainstreaming crew push mess. Remember when drone deliveries were going to revolutionize shopping? When every major news outlet unthinkably reported that we’d have autonomous quadcopters dropping off toothpaste and Amazon boxes on our doorsteps? Or when 3D TVs were the future of entertainment, pushed so aggressively that manufacturers stopped making non-3D models for a while? Where are they now? Rotting covered in dust in […]

VisionOnTV: A Lost Future of Grassroots Video

Nearly 20 years ago, we built something radical. #VisionOnTV wasn’t just another platform, it was a #4opens movement. A bold attempt to break free from corporate-controlled media and give people the tools to create and share activist-driven, alternative television. We weren’t waiting for permission; we were building the future we wanted to see. Before #YouTube became the advertising surveillance monolith it is today, we had a different vision. One where video wasn’t just disposable […]
