Too many “open” tech projects try to model social relations after code workflows rather than shaping code to reflect healthy social processes. Ersatz writing, ersatz governance and the slow death of the #openweb.

Most Fediverse actors aren’t thinking in systemic terms, many default to #FOSS tropes without the deeper politics.

Without governance tools that fit the culture, fragmentation will increase.

Most newcomers have no idea where the #openweb came from, this feeds co-option by NGOs, corporations, and naïve coders.

Rebooting requires trust, and that means small, persistent human-scale federations.

Both right and left act as gatekeepers. In horizontal spaces, this becomes soft censorship.

My small act of #resistance against the #enshittification of the web today has been to use client-side #XSLT for something different that #RSS styling: generating multiple #SVG plots from the same #XML data:

It is going to be difficult to reboot the #openweb in a #4opens way, due to the culture of #blocking on both the "left" and the right. Ideas please on how to mediate this mess to make this #blocking less blocking.

Enclosure of the #openwebhttps://hamishcampbell.com/enclosure-of-the-openweb/ Let’s stop being polite about this. The #closedweb is a crime scene. The platforms we rely on are bonfires of common culture, feeding the engines of the next wave of control.
