From my prospective, a lot of people are being absolute prats on social/technology. This should be obvuse, but it's not. We can take two paths, the first is to #block this, obviously making more prat ish behaver. The second is to ask questions and grow, this will reduce prat ish behaver. In the era of #stupidindividualism which path do you think people take, and yes they are being prats on this ;)Get off your knees comes to mind, and please be less of a prat.

@sj_zero yep, am not talking to these people directly, just to general groups of people. Am worried this #openweb reboot is going to stall with the huge #mainstreaming influx. This is not a problem, the move to the #openweb is good in itself, but we could so easily do better, and we have lots of our prats stopping this... it's a problem am talking about.

#openweb, reminds people of the old ways. It told of a time when people worked together and shared things freely. And the hashtag, #closedweb, specks of the dangers of a for-profit internet that put money before people.

@dragonfly #indymedia is a non-owned "brand" so it ticks that box and works for outreach.We need to reboot the "process" so indymedia can start to work agen, to do this we need fresh codebases, outreach and training.

We need responsible people to STOP pushing only #Mastodon as this is not helping, just look at the SPAM currently spewing from this process. With this mess we are building a codebase and an instance that are "too big to fail" this is absurdly stupid and not needed.Please link and talk about the #openweb or the #fediverse to start to compost the mess you are, making, thanks.

@baldur you are not wrong, but step back for a wider view to try and see and talk about the root of this mess. I would say this is an example of #blocking from the #postmodern path.Can we look at this from a #modernist view to take a different path?Good faith question.

@baldur can understand that, trying to highlight the bad use of the #mainstreaming of #postmodernism and highlight this in the current social mess of the last 40 years.And yes, understand that #postmodernisam and #neoliberalism are dead ideologies. But they have both deeply shaped the last 40 years of #mainstreaming culture.The mess we work in today, thus it is useful to ask questions on good paths out of this mess.#modernisam

@baldur OK we can leave this here... if ideas and thinking do not matter then mess it is :)mess can be good, and it can be bad, in the current social mess it's VERY bad https://visionon.tv/w/gq6qCiUoC2J8RqhYHgpmzq how to deal with this is a good faith question.

@baldur Can continue this if you like.Let's put this one into the #mainstreaming miss use of #postmodernisam the is a lot of this, kinda of a natural outcome, it's a mess. Am with Chomsky on this one https://visionon.tv/w/p/kaafmbuLWyASifGg7DZ9y3What would a #modernist path out of the current mess look like? And yes, I understand there is a bad history. Let's not re tread that path. What is a good path?An example is #XR "tell the truth" is a modernist path.Tell the "truths" it is not.

@baldur Think this is easy to answer.nop,nop,And worth talking about, there are overlaps between the economics of #neoliberalism and the use of #postmodern philosophy over the last 40 years. We have a HUGE social mess, and no social language or thinking to compost this mess.We need a way of thinking, #Modernism is a shovel, we have lots of mess to compost.

@baldur on this subject, this is a good mix https://novaramedia.com/2023/03/20/billions-will-die-if-they-dont-listen-to-us-aaron-bastani-meets-roger-hallam/ that crosses this conversation and address the mess we likely talk around.How would you talk about this, using ideas, ideology, philosophes etc. That is in a thinking practical sense. Pointing fingers has a lot of overlap as pointing paths, but it's different.

@baldur Am obviously not talking about that. Defensiveness and personalizing this is not useful, apart from it illustrates what am talking about.https://visionon.tv/w/sNo39CPaX7MswQ57tVy2TR mess and more mess.Is #modernism useful for taking a different path.

@baldur let's try and look at this from an example, abstract is going nowhere useful soon. An example is things like #socialhub where #ActivityPub is "organized" here is a thried https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/how-we-talk-to-each-other/3187 that came from this https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/lets-talk-about-the-protocol-wars/3177/9 a polemical thread to mediate and STOP the mess we were/are making of the "protocol wars".#blocking vs affectivness... people don't see this, they just see "relativism" who is blocking here, the subject for me of this thread :)

@NGIZero @sovtechfund We are pouring public funding down the drain agen, this criteria is feeding the #geekproblem not actually trying to take the "problem" out of our geek paths. The people who PUSH this agenda are the problem - please POINT at them and talk about this mess, thanks.

#modteam this instance will be shutting down in a month due to no funding coming in from donations. The has been a year of messaging on this, it's finally time to shut the instance down https://opencollective.com/open-media-network/contributeSocial change is a social thing #DIY is never free, but yes it's low cost.
