The mess we make of media when we embraced the #dotcons and #streamin media https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0-UXva0TcE

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

Metadata and the #OMN Path: Who Controls the Invisible Hand?
Capitalism’s invisible hand has always relied on hidden data. In the digital age, that data is metadata the overlooked, under-the-hood information that tells us who, where, when, how often, and what next. It doesn’t matter what you say or do if someone else controls the context around it. That’s where the power lies. Let’s be clear: the battle for metadata is the battle for the future. Three Broken Paths Capitalism: Metadata is hoarded by the #dotcons. Google, Meta, TikTok—they […]https://hamishcampbell.com/metadata-and-the-omn-path-who-controls-the-invisible-hand/

The #dotcons keep #churning our communitys playing a part in this is #stupidindividualism self reflection.

@Hamishcampbell @tqt
Mate, "they" (us/we/you) are in the #dotcons for many and various reasons. Often #easeofuse is one reason, another main one being it is default / stock on device.
Another little one is lack of public awareness of replacement #floss software/apps/systems.However, I believe a primary reason being that most folks just don't care. They just want their shit to work. [End]

The 4 opens
Published Date 10/19/15 9:38 PM
The #dotcon can not be fixed, the #fashernistas who keep flocking to new “ethical’ish” ones are a problem not a solution.
The #4opens:
Are a simple way to judge the value of a “alt/grassroots” tech project.
Open data – is the basic part of a project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_data with out this open they cannot work.
Open source – as in “free software” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software this keeps development healthy by increasing interconnectedness and bringing in serendipity. The Open licences are the “lock” that keep the first two in place, what we have ain’t perfect but they do expand the area of “trust” that a project needs to work, creative commons is a start here.
Open “industrial” standards – this is a little understand but core open, its what the open internet and WWW are built from. Here is an outline https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard
Open process – this is the most “nebulous” part, examples of the work flow would be wikis and activity streams. Projects are built on linking trust networks so open process is the “glue” that binds the links together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process

What we are saying is CloudFlare, as a USA-based #dotcon that is supposedly helping to combat #cyberattacks, but has in fact been serving somes sites that pirate content. Why might that be?
These websites are often designed to look like Russian websites but would a real Russian really allow their website to be mass surveilled by the worst USA MITM Attack (CloudFlare) the world has seen? We doubt it.
See #astroturf, #frontGroup or #controlledOpposition for more.

We were blocked by the monopolist #dotCon from reaching our subscribers.
SOLUTION: Operate our own sites from servers of the same dotCon that abused us.

Articles laud a particular team at a #dotCon for finding vulnerabilities in a #modem.
The funny thing is the #vulnerability appears to be in the #firmware and not the modem per se. The firmware is likely #propietary, so this is *not* not the great success story for the dotCon as the #securityTheatre-hungry talking heads may suggest.
Modems will be safer when they are fully #FOSS

Yes and no, we a seeing one-click solutions emerge to some difficult problems in the space.

Yes that sounds exciting. We think part of the reason it hasn't taken off might have to do with the #dotCon dominance, which may be waning.

Web02 refers to the growth and expansion of the World Wide Web during the late 1990s and early 2000s, as the web became more accessible and user-friendly, and was increasingly adopted for commercial purposes. This era saw the rise of #dotcon companies, characterized by the growth of social media, mobile devices, and cloud computing. The web had become increasingly interactive and interconnected, and has become a critical tool for communication, misinformation, social control and commerce.

CW: Fediblock medium (me.dm)
Goodbye CloudFlare and other #dotCon-served instances who are cheating humanity. You will not be missed.

When people ask, "What is the worst that can happen from feeding <#dotCon> all my information?", say…
"Do you tell strangers everything about you and your movements?""No."
"Why?"
"Because they can and have been shown to use the information against you at any time, and you won't know about it."

POLL: If someone made 'downward-sloping', 'upside-down', and 'ban' variants of #dotCon icons, namely msoft, amazn, ggle, appl, spacx, fbook, cflare would you want your instance to include them?
PLEASE TAG your admin in your answer.
Thanks for taking part.

Most of our crew have made this mess for the last 20 years. Life inside the #dotcons algorithm is a trap—one that people fight for, troll for, and become addicted to. These platforms are designed to feed engagement through division, making people react emotionally rather than think critically.
#Failbook and the rise of victim culture isn't an accident. It's a feature, not a bug. The algorithm rewards outrage, amplifies conflict, and keeps people in a loop of reaction rather than action. People get stuck performing identities instead of building real alternatives.
The #OMN approach? Step outside the algorithm. Build trust-based networks where people interact as humans, not as data points for corporate profit. The #Fediverse and #ActivityPub-based platforms offer a path out, but we need to push harder to grow them in a way that challenges #mainstreaming liberal control.
We don’t need more “ethical” #dotcons. We need an independent, federated media ecosystem. That’s what the #OMN is about.

I think we face the usual problem of working on and implementing policy for yesterday's issues.
* We are coming out of ten years of Blockchain mess
* Now we are into #AI mess, the is no intelligence in the current round, only artificial writing.
Let's look at what actually matters
The original openweb had #4opens in this context #opendata is the issue we are talking about.
We then had 20 years of the #dotcons with #closeddata. Which you have talked about.
Coming out of this, we have an active openweb reboot happing with federation and opendata.
For example with #Mastodon, the #Fediverse, #bluesky and #Nosta which have grown from half a million to 10 to 15 million users over the last year. #WordPress building #ActivityPub support for a quarter of the internet and #Failbook's #threads.
You are seeing a different world back to #opendata, if you run a mastodon instance you will have a large part of the content of the Fediverse sitting in your database in plan text....
Take this into account with policy and regulation please

The #dotCons are of course set to fail, but what is the pivot towards, and what are they taking away from us while blaming "#inflation" (and #misallocation) they instigated. We assert #TheFed and #centralBanks are a scam. See their #assetPurchases during #covid.The result: those who support the pivot to a neofeudal #corporateState are rewarded by the #MoneyPrinter. Those who resist are attacked and refused the cash infusion.
The challenge will be to die with ones soul.

Am kinda not surprised that the reach of my posts on the #dotcons is getting close to nothing, though am still seeing the ideas echoed back in the #mainstreaming, so something must be getting through.
The conversations am having on the #openweb are much better, but not without their #geekproblems good problem to have I suppose. -
We have been using the turm #dotcons for more than the last ten years to talk about the issue in the #mainstreming texh, the recent hashtag #enshitification is a synonym for the original idea long used Idea.

@rooftopjaxx @hamishcampbell @MediaActivist
Ah, the cockerel crows and the full moon glows, a fine moment to scratch at the compost pile.
You’re right, most are merrily skipping through walled gardens, hashtagging selfies and feeding the #dotcons. But seeds don’t need mass attention, they just do need rich compost. That’s what we need to build. Slow, damp, a bit smelly, but fertile.
The #sheeple and not my flock, they belong to the algorithmic shepherds. We’re feeding the stray goats and curious crows.
You don’t convert people by preaching. You do it by making better paths, ones they choose when the old ones crumble. We don’t sell the #openweb like snake oil — we show it, live in it, fix it when it breaks, and compost the crap. It’s #DIY, not #drm
As for silos and skips, good compost needs oxygen, not airtight boxes. So yeah, a messy open pile — full of half-rotten ideas, posts, drama, even the occasional troll turd.
We trust in tools not gatekeepers, the #4opens are the shovels, rakes, and sieves. The people bring the scraps, and over time, it breaks down into something usable.
No army of mods, no paywalls, simple trust, process, and a lot of patience. Think rural anarchism, not startup governance.
On scaling... Ah, the eternal #techshit question, "Does it scale?" That’s the wrong frame. Nature doesn’t scale, it sprawls.
We’re not building an empire. We’re nurturing a network. Think mycelium, not megastructure.
The #OMN isn’t about numbers. It’s about resilience and agency. If it sprouts in some cracks, the monoculture breaks. And yes, nettles welcome
The #Kolektivas, the #fashernista paradoxes, the semi-anarchic infighting, it all goes in the pile. Break it down, stir it up, give it time…
And what do you get? Fluffy, fertile humus — ready for new growth. That’s the cycle. That’s the plan.

@jeffjarvis all the #dotcons are not the good guys, we need a reboot of the #openweb to find some good guys https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=dotcons you can see this path in the #activertypub world, we need to step away from the #mainstreaming mess, now there is a growing space to step too #KISS
