DEATH, GOD, &
A VERY SMALL SPIDER 💎I am increasingly aware that I will leave this world. I don’t know when. I don’t know how. Perhaps within the next decade. Perhaps sooner. Who knows.
And strangely, there is less fear in that now. Most of the fear seems to belong to what I imagine is unknown.
If death is simply the end of Robin and the end of this consciousness, then there will be nobody there to be bothered by it. It will simply be over. And if there is something beyond this life, another realm, another dimension, another form of consciousness, then I suppose I will recognise it when I get there.
I don’t know. And I am quite happy not knowing.
Human beings have created manifold books, religions and pictures of God, spirit, heaven, continuation and eternity. Perhaps some of them point towards something true. Perhaps some are simply beautiful ways of comforting ourselves in the face of death.
But every picture I can make of what comes next is still a picture being made here.
I don’t want to manufacture comfort. I want clarity. I want to meet whatever happens without having already decided what it is supposed to look like.
Maybe there is something. Maybe there is nothing. Either way, reality does not require my opinion.
And while I am sitting here contemplating this enormous mystery, a tiny spider appears beside me. He is absurdly small. I stop, look at him, laugh, and decide he can stay.
And suddenly, there it all is. Death. Consciousness. God. Eternity. And a tiny spider wandering across my morning.
The fire is on. The coffee is good. People are interacting with things I have written. The spider is minding his own business.
Life has not stopped being ordinary just because I know it ends. I rather like that.
None of it means anything until I give it meaning. And this morning, the meaning I choose is very simple.
Gratitude.

YOU’RE LOOKING
AT THE WRONG PARTS 💎I sometimes wonder what people imagine is going on inside the life of someone with a visible disability.
I walk very strangely. My left arm doesn’t work at all. My hand is contracted into a claw. I do everything one-handed, and that clearly wasn’t covered in this model’s original operating instructions.
From the outside, I suspect it can look like a life dominated by disability.
“Poor bugger.” “What a tragedy.” “Everything must be so difficult?”
Meanwhile, inside my actual life, I’m usually wondering whether the coffee is ready, what ridiculous thing I can write on Mastodon, whether the dogs have been fed, or why everyone on the internet has suddenly gone mad again.
The disability is there, obviously. I cannot drive, and there are many things I cannot do unaided. Other things just take longer, because much of the world appears to have been designed by someone who assumed every human comes with two fully operational hands.
And most people are remarkably unhelpful.
That sounds like a complaint, but it has an unexpected benefit. If you’re disabled, you become bloody good at finding another way. You have to.
Eventually, you stop wondering how something is supposed to be done and work out how you can do it.
That doesn’t make accessibility unnecessary. Quite the opposite. But disabled people often become extremely skilled at adapting because the world gives us plenty of practice.
Disability is not the central event of my consciousness.
I don’t wake up thinking, “Good morning. I am disabled.”
I wake up thinking, “Coffee.”
Most of the time, I’m not experiencing myself as a tragic medical story. I’m just living.
I’ve had decades to become extremely competent at being this particular slightly damaged model of human being. Sometimes other people seem considerably more concerned about my disability than I am.
It’s sweet.
But unnecessary.
The odd thing about a visible disability is that people often see what doesn’t work before they notice the enormous amount that does.
And from inside here?
It’s mostly just Friday.

The #KISS #OMN path is about building practical, commons-based media tools now, not waiting for the perfect future.
Much of the mess - and endless #blocking - comes from ownership and control. We can sidestep some of this by putting media infrastructure firmly in the commons under the #4opens.
It won't fix #mainstreaming overnight, but it gives us space to build alternatives before the old systems catch up.
If you have resources, fund development. If you're technical, code. If you know UX, design. If you make media, tell the story.
This isn't theory. It's practical work for better social outcomes. Keep it simple. Keep it open. Build and use it.

“These declines indicate that even though Bluesky’s app continues to add registered accounts, fewer people are using its mobile app on a regular basis. It also suggests that some of those who joined Bluesky due to their dissatisfaction with X post-elections haven’t stuck around long-term.
But the bigger takeaway here is not just that Bluesky’s post-election bump has shrunk. Bluesky’s app has lost more than half its monthly active users from its late-2024 high, which means that its app usage continued to shrink even after the initial post-election surge subsided. (Its quarterly average was around 22.1 million monthly active users in the fourth quarter of 2024, Similarweb’s data indicates, and it declined to 10.7 million in the second quarter of 2026. That’s a decline of around 52%.)”

The problems we face in the #openweb are often presented as technology problems. Which protocol, platform, licence, federation path, software? Which standard? These questions matter, but they are not the foundations of the problem. A lot of what we are seeing is really a cultural clash.

This summer #climatechaos
This summer, heat, fires, the soon to come winter floods and insurance withdrawals will make #climatechaos harder to treat as something happening somewhere else. For years, climate breakdown was framed as an activist issue, something discussed by environmental groups while mainstream politics carried on with business as usual. That is changing, people are experiencing the consequences: extreme heat, flooding, damaged homes, rising insurance costs, failing infrastructure and growing […]https://hamishcampbell.com/this-summer-climatechaos-is-mainstream/

It's a cultural clash more than a technology problem - but technology still has an important role. We need to support, fund and use a wide range of #openweb technologies. There is no single "right path".
The sellouts have a role, the fundamentalists, the pragmatists, experimenters and weirdos have a role too. The value isn't in choosing one tribe and defeating the others.
It's in finding a balance where difference coexists, challenge and grow wider commons.

I was really happy to see @benpate and @dansup exploring similar ideas at the last FediCon: reducing user friction and making onboarding to the Fediverse almost invisible.
I’ve been working along the same lines. Here’s a small example: a user can interact with a #BadgeFed instance by simply logging in with #LinkedIn or #GitHub.
They can comment, upload images, like, boost, etc. They don’t need to know what the Fediverse is, what an instance is, or what software is running underneath.
For them, it’s just a social app.
Of course, existing Fediverse users can still connect with their Mastodon account or use their preferred Fediverse software.
Under the hood, it’s a #GoToSocial account configured with LinkedIn/GitHub OIDC OAuth.
But to the user? Completely transparent.
I think this kind of invisible complexity is one of the ways we can make the Fediverse much more approachable without sacrificing interoperability.

Grassroots #openweb infrastructure is need for a different future
For 50 years we have worshipped the #deathcult - endless growth, extraction, competition and individualism - and now we are living with the damage that this has done to our society and the living world. The current hard shift to the right won't fix any of this, it simply empowers the #nastyfew to surf the apocalypse while more and more of us are left fighting over the scraps. Blind hatred and political ignorance are not solutions. Neither is pretending that the past 50 years of "common […]https://hamishcampbell.com/grassroots-openweb-infrastructure-is-need-for-a-different-future/

A little #fluffy reminder, when an #openweb projects gets flooded with conspiracy, dogma and endless prat fights, the grounded, constructive people drift away - sometimes straight back to the #dotcons.
Being independent doesn't mean believing everything. Being radical doesn't mean shutting down dialogue. Let's make spaces where people can think, disagree, learn and still build things together.
-
Mutual aid works through trust networks. It needs communities where people actually know each other.
Otherwise, good intentions end up feeding the #deathcult - it is always hungry.
Think about this when sharing need/begging posts from people you have no community in common with. Before amplifying, get to know them and their community.
Trust is part of mutual aid. #mutualaid #openweb #community

Yes. I think that distinction matters.
People aren’t simply foolish for staying. In many cases the system has been designed so that leaving carries real social and practical costs.
The replies to this post have made that much clearer to me.
So I’m becoming less interested in blaming people for staying, and more interested in asking why so much ordinary community life has been allowed to become dependent on a handful of private corporations.
Getting out should be easier.
And helping people out probably does require patience rather than contempt.
-
Thanks Hamish. I’ve read it.
I think “leaving matters, but leaving is not enough” is exactly where this conversation has taken me.
The replies have made me much more aware of how deeply Facebook has become infrastructure for councils, businesses, community groups, families and local information.
That makes the open web problem much bigger and much more interesting than simply telling people to delete Facebook.
