A project like the #OMN does need to happen — and it’s harder than it should be.
We have already done this work.
#Undercurrents, #Indymedia, #Ruffcuts, #VisionOnTV weren’t theory projects - they were action media, built in lived struggle, with real risks, real trust, and real consequences.#OMN isn’t a new idea, it’s a recomposition under worse conditions: more capture, more fear, more professionalisation, more #techshit in the way.
So the question isn’t “what’s the idea?”
It’s “how do we reboot a culture of action when trust has been eroded and replaced with fear driven safety theater?” -
@Palky55 after looking at the work we have done with #undercurrents #indymedia #ruffcuts #visionontv and now #OMN what would you suggest the path is to reboot this community of action based on #openweb and #affinity paths?
It needs to happen,

Om het verschijnen van #EenWereldVolDenkers (begin september) alvast te vieren, heb ik een nieuwe verhalenbundel samengesteld: #Undercurrents. Ieder verhaal raakt aan een van de thema's van Een wereld vol denkers, maar dan in de vorm van fictie. #books #boeken

What do you mean by “mainstreaming”?
At its core, #mainstreaming is how we, often unconsciously, uphold and reproduce the values of the dominant system. In our time, that system is #neoliberalism, or what I metaphorically call the #deathcult. It’s the air we breathe: shaping our politics, our economics, even the food we eat and how we relate to each other.
In activist terms, #mainstreaming too often means pushing this dominant worldview into alternative spaces, building careers and institutions that play progressive on the […]

Just how many podcasts does #EmilyJashinsky have?? I found two today ( #Undercurrents and #AfterParty) and she’s also on #BreakingPoints

#makinghistory an example workflow
For the last 40 years, we’ve worshiped the #deathcult of #neoliberalism that still blinds us to the collapse unfolding around us. Every institution that promised to guide and protect us has failed. The ruling classes, in every hue of politics, have abandoned us. Our media and entertainment elitists distract and distort. #NGOs, once trusted, have betrayed the causes they claimed to champion. Academia and business alike have clutched at power, are now dithering while the world burns. We face […]https://hamishcampbell.com/makinghistory-an-example-workflow/

@strypey could talk about each of there projects/tech as we used them all over the years, with #offlinetv and #visionontv we were on the same mission on europen side of the atlantic... at the time we had come out of the foundation/#NGO funding root that was failing at #undercurrents and were trying the grassroots non funded root - the #indymedia modale.

How the battle of Claremont Road changed the world: ‘The whole of alternative London turned up’
Thirty years ago, more than 500 activists united to save a street – and their actions marked a major turning-point in the environmental movement

I’ve updated the Festival Visitors Schedule Optimizer #FFVSO data with the 2024 #UnderCurrents theatre festival (put on by https://ottawafringe.com/). Visit https://www.agmsmith.ca/FFVSO/ if you want to make your own schedule, useful for fitting in friends. Personally I’m looking forward to the New Play Tuesday annual tradition.

"A word to the wise, do not post or take photos of people at the demonstrations this weekend." This is a trope that keeps coming back, look around you at the CCTV cameras... and the tourists with cellphones... the only people being responsible are the people like this you are trying to tell not to film... it's a nuttiness that does not go away #undercurrents #indymedia

'Girls Will Be Girls'

I don't really do street photography anymore, but when I took this image of three young girls in Delft, Netherlands back in 2008 clearly something was going on between them. What do you think?

The group was known for its innovative use of video technology and its commitment to grassroots activism. #Undercurrents was a non-profit organization that relied on donations and support from its audience to fund its work. The group disbanded in 2004, but its legacy continues to inspire and influence video activists around the world.

#Undercurrents was a video activist group that was active in the United Kingdom from 1994 to 2004. The group was founded by filmmakers who were interested in using video as a tool for social and political change. Undercurrents produced a wide range of video content, including documentaries, news reports, and short films, on issues such as environmentalism, social justice, and anti-globalization.

The #OMN team has a proven track record of success in grassroots social tech projects, including their involvement with #UnderCurrents, #indymedia, #VisionOnTV, #LondonBoating, and others.

#Undercurrents was a UK-based video activist group that was active from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. The group used video as a tool for political activism, producing and distributing radical grassroots videos to raise awareness and action about social and environmental issues, and to challenge mainstream media narratives. A larger movement of alternative media organizations that emerged during the late 20th century. #OMN #indymediaback #4opens

I have experience in training hundreds of grassroots journalists for alternative media outlets such as #Undercurrents, #Indymedia, #VisionOnTV and #OMN,
Many of these people have gone on to work in NGOs and mainstream media. This is not a problem in itself, but it has led to the lack of sustainability of alternative media structures and my energy to keep doing this.

#Mastodon is many things to many people, it's federated.
Under the differences is a common mindset (ideology) which comes from the #undercurrents of society, one of the strongest of these is #FOSS with its #4opens working. Then there is the netticate of the #openweb, and it's 30 years of organic history.

@Hamishcampbell we have been running #openweb projects like this at #undercurrents #visionontv and now #OMN for nearly 30 years.
These instances are some of the older on the #fediverse, so with this HUGE influx of new people, we need help to keep them online and well moderated.
Thanks to all the people who help in different ways.

Neo-liberalism is a #mainstreaming #deathcult do you remember #undercurrents "don't drink from the mainstream".

Been prodding this https://visionon.tv it's working pretty well, like the new default landing page, you get to see what people like from #undercurrents and #visionontv on the #openweb must bring back some old school expirence we can maybe learn from today.

@bob these people/groups exist, how would you describe them?
Keep in mind am talking about #DIY culture, so focus on things (#undercurrents) WE directly have power over rather than things we have little power over (#mainstream)
With this in mind, how do we mediate this #blocking

It is a media war and we have no media
We are living in deeply befuddling times, and neither the agendas of the #dotcons nor the noise of the #conspiracynutters is helping. In fact, they make everything worse. That’s why it’s best not to spread the chemical crap. It isn’t fertiliser. It poisons the ground. Keep media organic. #openweb. In the Western world, almost all the wars that actually matter are now fought in the media. Yes, the disadvantaged are the immediate casualties, and much of the so-called third world will be […]https://hamishcampbell.com/it-is-a-media-war-and-we-have-no-media/
