  1. "I work so somebody else can have the home I live in and a life I have no chance in affording"

    this quote will probably be used in future history books to talk about "The Neo-feudalism Stage"

  6. The #OMN takes a deliberately different path, not building around “nobody gets the power” pretending governance doesn't exist. It is grown from the harder principle that no individual gets to own power.

    Not me. not you, not the cleverest developer,
    not the loudest activist or the person who got there first. Not the person with the biggest server, or the person with the biggest following, not a little committee that slowly becomes an unelected aristocracy.

    This matters because “decentralisation” defaults to easily to a form of #stupidindividualism. Everyone is supposedly free, supposedly has their own power. But in practice power accumulates around whoever has the time, money, technical knowledge, social connections or biggest platform.

    That isn't a commons, it is just #feudalism with better branding. The #OMN idea is closer to shared infrastructure with distributed responsibility. Power comes from participation, trust comes from doing.

    Governance is visible, processes are open, decisions can be challenged, mistakes can be corrected, people can leave. And nobody gets to quietly turn the commons into their personal kingdom.

  11. The #openweb and projects such as the #OMN are more than technical alternatives

    Techno #feudalism is a description of the power that large #dotcons technology platforms now have over the economy and society. The comparison is with medieval feudalism. Under feudalism, land was the critical means of production and ordinary people worked land they did not own. Lords controlled access to it and extracted rents or surplus from those who depended on it. This is relevant today were the critical bottleneck is increasingly digital capital: platforms, servers, algorithms, data, […]

  16. “Practical” governance in #FOSS often starts with the Benevolent Dictator for Life - one person has the final say. Then you get the trusted favourites and inner circles expanding that ruling structure.

    And that's about it for a lot of #FOSS projects. It’s practical, but politically it looks remarkably premodern: a kind of digital #feudalism.

    The #4opens path needs to do better: not just open code, but open, accountable and genuinely participatory governance.

  21. Our current trajectory, it would seem, ties back to COVID, when revenues from income taxes took a serious hit around the globe. So much money was printed and capital doled out (to big tech) to keep the world churning, everything became more expensive, and did nothing to change the fact there was a big black hole in the ledger that can never be recouped. Unless, the promise of AI comes through. Everyone's futures have been bet on its success. Now, completely over-leveraged, it's too big to fail, and everyone loses if it doesn't.

    Stuck between a Rock and a Hard Place.

  24. It’s just feudal letting out homes that are EPC F and G…it’s also illegal and has been since 2020.

    These homes were built in feudal times and the situation has never changed.

    It’s bad enough that private landlords aren’t subject to the stringent rules that social landlords are (Decent Homes Standard and Awaab’s Law)…but it stinks that royal lettings are even worse.

  37. A few years ago I thought the new housing bubble will burst like the one in 2007. But when it didn't I realized something. There's no fundamental reason why it would have to burst on its own.

    Last time around the #housingbubble lasted like 600 years and it took a french revolution to end it.
