witchescauldron<p>Looking at the paths out of the current mess</p><p>We need an effective way of communicating that all value on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fedivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fedivers</span></a> is cultural, the tech itself is a product of this <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openweb</span></a> culture. The <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/activertypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>activertypub</span></a> speck is an accident of this culture not being swamped become the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mainstreaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mainstreaming</span></a> was not interested at the time</p><p>We have an increasing number of funders pouring money down the drain in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fedivers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fedivers</span></a> tech, when the source of the value <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openweb</span></a> culture that created this new “commons” is swamped by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mainstreaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mainstreaming</span></a> agenda.</p><p>This <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fediforum</span></a> thing is going to be a hardcore invisible clash of cultures, all the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fashernitas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fashernitas</span></a> who stood back from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ActivertyPub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ActivertyPub</span></a> push for the last 5 years are now flooding in, as are refugees from the encryptions mess. The language might be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fedvers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fedvers</span></a> BUT most of the people will not be. Let’s try and create focus, small steps.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mozfest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Mozfest</span></a> Is on if you want to see posers, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fashernitas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fashernitas</span></a> and general <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NGO</span></a> pointless. I did sign up but when the time came to log in I could not be bothered. I do use the browser, though.</p><p>We do need to express contempt for what a lot of the assumptions and agenda (often unspoken) our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NGO</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fashernitas" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fashernitas</span></a> crew push. Yes, it’s crap and pointless, so please say this, in most cases the “emperor’s” are not wearing any clothes. Express yourself, it’s needed.</p><p>The is going to be an increasing mix of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mainstreming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>mainstreming</span></a> people moving back to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openweb</span></a> we need much better tools and process to deal with the mess they bring with them as well as our own mess we have here. The is going to be a lot of prat’ish behaviour from both inside our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/openweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>openweb</span></a> movement and outside from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dotcons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dotcons</span></a> we need a way to mediate this… as it’s obviously damage dressed up in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NGO" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NGO</span></a> clothing.</p><p>The problem with this negative circle is that it is self reinforcing, the prats, don’t like being pointed at as prats, and in reaction they dig deeper into prat’ish behaver. This damage is not helpful, we need fresh thinking, what do we do when “our” people act as prats. Ideas please?</p><p>The is a solution to this, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OGB" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OGB</span></a> which mediates prat’ish behaver by democracy <a href="https://unite.openworlds.info/Open-Media-Network/openwebgovernancebody​" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">unite.openworlds.info/Open-Med</span><span class="invisible">ia-Network/openwebgovernancebody​</span></a></p>
