       We are a wide affinity group working to reboot the global indymedia network using modern federated protocols such as #activitypub. This reboot will be based on the OMN project code.What is the OMN (Open Media Network):The project is to shift power to the producers and consumers of media. It’s about good UI and simple empowering #KISS tools to move content, by categorising it with a grassroots folksonomy. This simple approach is balanced by shared site level syntax for the complex crew.In the end it’s about bringing trust back into news.Hamish Campbellhttps://unite.openworlds.info/explore/organizationsBackground http://hamishcampbell.com/index.php/tag/indymedia/

       @apconf This is a cool presentation and matches pretty closely with my own ideas about the potential of the fediverse as the new Indymedia. Given the process logjam Hamish mentioned, and the many years that have passed since most of us gave up on trying to fix them, I have my doubts about trying to resuscitate the Indymedia name and network themselves. But building activist news and social network platforms, using the new decentralized tools now available? I'm definitely keen.#Indymedia
