The way out? Stop arguing about branding and intentions. Apply the #4opens: open data, open source, open standards and open process. A simple test to compost 95% of the #techshit, so we can focus our limited energy on what actually matters: building grassroots power and a living #openweb.

In #ActivityPub governance, we have a problem: #NGO mainstreaming careerism on one side, #geekproblem grassroots careerism on the other. Different paths, same trap: protecting positions and control rather than building grassroots alternatives. These are friendly enemies of the #openweb.

We do need to step away from this mess.

The #OpenWeb was built on spiders. Now we're trying to exterminate them.

#Web #crawlers made the internet discoverable. Today, we're blocking them indiscriminately, often confusing search indexing with #AI training.

The open web should still have places you can enter without first creating an
account.

WallQ starts with what you have to say—not with a profile you have to build.

One public wall. Open now: wallq.app

The #fashionistas will take anything that starts to grow in the alt. They arrive when something becomes interesting, turn it into a fashion, commodify it and sell out the work, the world and the dreams that built it.

Act before they take control.

To understand why we are in such a mess: Fear of the right → fight the right → feed the right → create more fear of the right → fight harder.

The fear becomes the fuel, so look at our actions over the last 10 years, where is the left?

#KISS #left #fear #trust #openweb

We need to talk to our “left friends”.

Keep it simple:

Fear/control → right-wing
Trust/open → left-wing

Don't get lost in the labels, theory or #geekproblem. Keep the focus. What are we building, fear and control, or trust and openness?

The #fashionista cycle feeds on attention, novelty and the absence of grounding.

The antidote is the opposite, trust, continuity and community memory.

Stay messy, stay grounded, stay real.

Bluesky is working on giving users their own domains on the open web, but patience is needed. The rollout will reportedly take 18 to 24 months before shortened 'bsky' handles become reality.

Soon your handle could be username.bsky—not @username.bsky.social. #Bluesky #OpenWeb #DigitalIdentity #DomainNames #SocialMedia #Web3 https://thedailytechfeed.com/bluesky-seeks-bsky-domain-to-let-you-claim-your-own-on-the-open-web/

It interesting to see that the mainstreaming is now moving onto the subjects I have , like meany people native to the #openweb have been talking about for the last 20 years. now is the time we need shovels (#OMN) to compost the onrushing #fashionista mess and then #geekproblem reaction to not […]

Wikimedia says suspected OpenAI agents made unauthorized edits, probed tools, and drove traffic linked to a May outage. Here is the dispute.

#ActivityPub is built as open standards, federation and trust.

We already have a working example of the kind of left/open infrastructure we need.

So maybe the answer is simple:

Don't overcomplicate what already works. Build on it.
