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,

The Open Media Network: Composting the Dead Systems
#FOSS and open source is always political. Let’s say that out loud, because it’s easy to forget. The very idea of open collaboration, of sharing code, ideas, and stories freely, was never a neutral stance. It was, and remains, a radical act of refusal. Refusal to privatize creativity. Refusal to turn cooperation into competition. Refusal to let the #deathcult of neoliberalism define what freedom means. From the early days of free software and the #4opens, to the #openweb and #Indymedia, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-open-media-network-composting-the-dead-systems/

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 […]

Biography
I’ve been part of the #Fediverse since its earliest days, helping to build it from the ground up. The #OMN ran five instances for the first four years, supporting communities as they explored decentralized social spaces. I’ve organized events, facilitated discussions, and continuously worked to nurture the Fediverse’s growth as a living example of what the #openweb can be. You can explore more about this journey here. My involvement in grassroots media and open technology stretches […] -

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.

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.

@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.

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.

@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.

The #openweb is a space for both progressives and reactionary groups
One uncomfortable thing we need to address, calmly and constructively, is this: for the last decade, the right has been better at cooperating around #openweb media than the left. This isn’t because the right has better politics. It’s because they’ve been more pragmatic about infrastructure. While much of the left argued endlessly about identity, fashion, theory, tone, and purity, right-wing and reactionary groups quietly built linking ecosystems: shared blogs, cross-posting networks, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-openweb-is-a-space-for-both-progressives-and-reactionary-groups/
