We are entering a period of overlapping crises

This mess is driven by climate breakdown, growing inequality, technological disruption, war, political instability and the weakening of democratic institutions are no longer separate problems, they reinforce each other. At the same time, we are seeing a feedback loop of political movements built around fear, scapegoating, hierarchy and fantasies of escape. This creates a basic question we need to focus on - how do we build the means to live through these crises together, rather than […]

Why does the #Fediverse exist?

The #Fediverse exists because the corporate #dotcons are not enough, we don't wont more of turning our social lives into products, our relationships into #closeddata, and our communities into audiences to be managed.

There are few working, humane alternatives to the #deathcult, so stepping away from this mess isn’t an option for many of us. We need to build alternatives that work in the real world to step to.

That’s what the #OMN is about: combining grassroots practices we know work with federated technology like #ActivityPub to connect and horizontally scale them.

#makeinghistory, #IndymediaBack, the #OGB and the #4opens are stepping stones towards a different, more sustainable world.

So only treating #BLOCKING as the default response to disagreement is politically a dead end, and the word #deathcult needs to be used about this.. We need to build solidarity, work through differences and create alternatives people can actually use.

Keep it #KISS: less knee-jerk rejection, more practical work. We won’t block our way into another world. We have to build it.
