Its more complex than good/bad

#geekproblem the desire to control

#fahernisat the desire to belong

#dotcon the desire to be rich

Desire is a human thing that can be healthy and unhealthy. I think the is a common understanding of the problem with geeks. Fashion is a bedrock of capital driven consumerism, as is the desire to be rich.

The interesting/powerful thing is to call people and groups out from their unhealthy desires.
And in reaction nurture good desires.

Where is the positive in this mess? I would look at the current healthy #openweb projects. I would strongly advise and incurage people to "use them of lose them" and use a tool like the #4opens to step away from the obvious #dotcons #NGO and #fahernisat pushing. Pick up a #shoval and compost the mess #DIY plant seeds of your own lived life and nurture/water the social gardens with your care.

Don't ask, just do it.

I wrote this a few years a go: It’s worth clearing up what often feels like wilful misunderstanding.

When I talk about “steping away” from the #dotcons ecosystem, I don’t mean disappearing overnight or taking a purity exit. I mean one foot in and one foot out, staying present long enough to help others take the step as well.

That’s an ethical position, not a compromise.

Walking away completely leaves people isolated inside systems designed to trap them. Staying entirely inside normalises the harm. The #stepaway path holds both realities at once: reduce harm, refuse total capture, and keep doors open.

This isn’t about personal virtue or moral superiority. It’s about collective exit, done slowly, visibly, and with care. You don’t abandon people in a burning building - you help them find the exits.

That’s the work #OMN

We need to understand that your viral lefty memes are actually part of the problem?

If you are still posting on the #dotcons then “Comedy” & “sarcasm” might feel like resistance, but they feed the #dotcons exactly what they want: engagement, data, clicks. Mocking the system isn’t leaving it.

The solution? #StepAway, and take your community with you to the #openweb

A call to action, clear diagnosis

What a waste of public money, this #fashernista career-building projects. When you think using social media is "natural," remember you’re feeding #dotcons platforms built on the worst parts of human nature. If you want civilization and society to have a future, you cannot keep supporting this. The #encryptionists sit at the heart of our current grassroots media tech disaster, while careerist #mainstreaming pisses from the other side. But shit makes good compost, and we have the […]

DRAFT

In the #openweb hashtags serve as tools to encapsulate complex ideas and movements. On my blog, I use a hashtag story to highlight both the positive and negative aspects of our current socio-political and technological paths. Here’s a breakdown of what these hashtags mean:

#deathcult: The pervasive influence of neoliberalism, which operates invisibly in our minds, dictating many aspects of society without us even realizing it. Example: “The corporate-driven decisions affecting climate policies are a clear manifestation of the #deathcult mindset.”

#dotcons: This highlights how we have been deceived into enriching a greedy few through the use of digital platforms and technologies. It’s a product of the #deathcult. Example: “Major social media platforms are the epitome of #dotcons, prioritizing profit and control over people’s well-being.”

#stupidindividualism: This represents the peak of current societal trends where extreme individualism overrides collective well-being to our detriment. Example: “The resistance to community-based solutions for climate change is rooted in #stupidindividualism.”

#fashernistas: Flotsam influenced by fleeting trends and currents. In the #dotcons era, this refers to a large directionless majority. Example: “Influencers today are #fashernistas, swayed by whatever is trending rather than contributing meaningful change.”

#4opens: A horizontal approach to technological development. Example: “Projects adhering to the #4opens principles build transparency and collaboration.”

#openweb: Refers to the decentralized digital network that revolutionized communication 30 years ago but is now pushed under by people’s use of the #dotcons. Example: “We must reclaim the #openweb to preserve the internet’s native path of free and open communication.”

#OMN: An #openweb project that has been in development for the last 20 years, based on the #4opens. Example: “The #OMN initiative is a beacon of hope for creating a more democratic digital space.”

#stepaway: A safe method to break free from the addiction to #dotcons while maintaining connections with friends, one step at a time. Example: “By taking a #stepaway, we can gradually reduce our reliance on exploitative digital platforms.”

These hashtags are critical perspectives on our digital and social realities. The negative hashtags (#deathcult, #dotcons, #stupidindividualism, and #fashernistas) point out the pitfalls and dangers we face, while the positive hashtags (#4opens, #openweb, #OMN, and #stepaway) offer pathways to more sustainable and community-oriented tech and social solutions. By understanding and using these stories, we can better navigate the mess, while advocate for meaningful change.
