This “public first” path of the #OMN faces steep hurdles without the need of support, focus, and funding. Challenges: online governance, trolling, and privacy https://hamishcampbell.com/navigating-challenges-online-governance-trolling-and-privacy-is-no-small-step/

In practice, projects like the #OMN and #4opens are examples of this balance: using basic tech to empower trust, not control. What does #mainstreaming do? https://hamishcampbell.com/what-does-mainstreaming-do/

#sortation in monolithic vertical structures https://prometheusjournal.org/2025/11/04/against-sortition/ is not what the federated, permissionless, trust based #OGB is about.

Sortition is sold as the solution to our democratic deficit. Michael Chessum argues that it is a chimera ripe for undemocratic manoeuvers.

While the liberal centre acts as a buffer zone that resists necessary change, supporting projects like #OMN can help reshape this middle ground by creating an accessible alternative to #mainstreaming stories and corporate lies.

Critique without action is just noise. If we want real change, we need to move beyond commentary and into building. From #geekproblem to #OMN solutions https://hamishcampbell.com/from-geekproblem-to-omn-solutions/

The fall of the #VisionOnTV reboot based on #PeerTube was a loss for grassroots media and activist history.

Why? Because over the last ten years, many of our most spiky videos, that told the truth about power, protest, and real-world struggle - have been quietly erased from the #dotcons. YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook… one by one, the archives of resistance are disappearing under “content moderation” and algorithmic amnesia.

The #VisionOnTV project was different. It was a piece of the #openweb — a living, federated video commons built on #P2P infrastructure. It held stories that mattered: direct action, environmental defence, social movements, community struggles. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked — messy, transparent, alive.

Now it’s gone. And with it, a piece of our collective memory.

We need to reboot this path while the backups and fragments still exist. This is not nostalgia, more about preserving the roots of grassroots action so we can grow new ones. Without memory, there is no movement. Without archives, there is no accountability.

It’s time to dig, compost, and rebuild.

Media shapes how we think, act, and relate. Right now, most of it is trapped inside #dotcons — corporate silos that feed fear, distraction, and control. The same path that built fascism now runs our feeds: obedience through algorithms, comfort through consumption, silence through dependency.

The Open Media Network ( #OMN) is about composting that mess, turning the waste of the #closedweb into fertile soil for something new. Rebuilding media as commons, based on the #4opens

This matters because without open, trust-based networks, there is no real freedom. Just managed choice.

#OMN — composting tech for a better world.
