The #hashtag story is about disempowering the #mainstreaming in our minds. That’s the first step, breaking the spell, realising we don’t have to accept their frame.

The second step is the affinity group forming circle — gathering with others who see through the mess of smoke and mirrors. That circle gives us the power to build the #OMN shovel.

The last step #OGB is the work of composting. Taking all the #techshit, the failed projects, the poisoned culture, and turning it back into soil

What we do with the soil we create is up to us. That’s where the future grows. #KISS

To anyone like me who is not tech minded but on the fediverse, I urge you to discover the power of filters.

It has taken me two years or more to realise that 'no algorithm' means that you need to curate your feed. They are easy to use, but, my word, afterwards you have a much better time.

I find that there is so much repetition of the same message, whether it is pictures of cats, complainants about a right wing figure being racist, or the ongoing danger of covid. A simple filter on the common hashtags and, voilà, a much richer experience. I'm sure that there are other uses, but that works for me.

I'd also like to see more use of hashtags to aid discovery. I'd love it if the culture was to tag the name of anyone discussed. That way I could follow the names of obscure writers, thinkers and artists and find my people. That is as important as alttext for me.

This morning everyone in the region was woken up by a cell broadcast message, warning about possible gas smell in the air in the region. The reason is a leakage in Belgium (of course 😉)

Cell broadcast works perfectly for those one-to-many notifications. Battle proven, working tech. Awesome!

The posts are about a #hashtag story as a tool, it's not for people who already know, it's a shovel to compost the #fashionistas and the #geekprolem, a tool. Then the #OMN project is more practical, to move people away from #mainstreaming to a diversity of subcultures as working examples of change and challenge #KISS

When the change comes, if the challenge is strong enough, the diversity of working horizontal will be seeds for planting the future.
