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, […]

At best, the old #mainstreaming is about equality in worshipping the #deathcult

The old #mainstreaming was only in a limited way about freedom, we now need to focus on what it was about, equality in obedience. Equality in our blinded worship of the #deathcult: growth, consumption, competition, endless mess on a dying planet.

That’s why #fashernista liberal progressivism is always a dead end problem, it plays radical, says radical, but composts nothing. At best, it sells rebellion as a lifestyle. It’s equality inside the system, not about freedom from it.

I don’t want to be liked. I want to be real.

I used to play it safe. Fit in. Smile politely. Post for tags and optics.

Now? I’m done with that.
I left FB, IG, and skipped TikTok. I live on the #OpenWeb — the #fediverse — where people show up as they are. No filters. No fake vibes.

As a bi femme founder, I’m loud now. Proud now. I build things. I care deeply. I treat people with love. But I don’t care if I’m liked. I care if I’m real.

Being a builder is lonely. You chase dreams while others chase likes. You show up for community, while some show up for photo ops.

I’ve lost people. Real ones. So while I’m here, I’ll be colourful. Honest. Alive.

True friendship as an adult is rare. When it shows up? Magic.
Not here to be liked. Just here to be me.

Do you feel lonely building something that matters?

The Blockchain Socialist: Self-Destruction as Theory

The Blockchain Socialist podcast is the deluded self-destructive talking about the deluded self-destructive in tech. It’s a mirror of our time: intellectuals dissecting the ruins while still worshipping the same #deatcult gods that caused the collapse.

I am listening to an example of this Urbit - a hardcoded, reactionary dream of order built on decentralization, doomed from the start. Not only because the code is bad, but because the culture is. Control disguised as liberation. Hierarchy […]

Steering Committee of the Federated Video Co-op Initiative has published its Founding Framework—a working draft that defines our purpose, mission, vision, and values.

It lays the groundwork for a sustainable, community-owned alternative to corporate video platforms—one that empowers creators, respects audiences, and keeps the infrastructure of online video in the hands of the people who use it.

📄 Read it online (Proton Drive):

I used to think tech was neutral. But then I watched a friend burn out holding space online. I saw joy swallowed by platforms that didn’t understand care.

That’s why I build tech that feels like home.

At #FediCollective, we’re technologists, designers & organizers creating healing tech with and for BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities rooted in joy, care, and futures built with heart.

As we plan for 2026, we’re opening the circle.

✨ Looking for guest speakers, co-organizers & collaborators
💻 Devs, designers, founders, community-minded marketers
💛 Most of all, people who build with care

🗓️ Join our November & December sessions: https://lu.ma/FediCollective

🌐 Learn more: https://fedicollective.lovable.app

If you’re building tech that helps people feel more whole, more seen, more safe — let’s connect. 🌱

🍂 I adore autumn — the colors, the crisp air, the quiet. But I’ve felt the chill this year. Not just outside, but inside.

Some days feel heavy. The light fades early. Even with messages and meetings, it’s easy to feel lonesome.

You’re not alone. Not in your quiet. Not in your grief. Not in your need for warmth.

At #FediCollective, we’re building a cozy, in-person #ThirdSpace in Metro Vancouver i.e. a gathering spot for builders, creatives & organizers on the #OpenWeb.

We host coffee chats, co-working, and walk-and-talks centering care, creativity & connection specially for BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities.

🧣 This fall, we’re opening space for gentle IRL meetups.
💛 You don’t need to be “on.” You just need to be here.
🎃 Also: we have a twisted sense of humour you’ll probably enjoy.

🗓️ Join our Nov & Dec sessions: https://lu.ma/fedicollective

🌱 We build with care. We hold space with love.
