@warmsignull so it's a #block, nothing is to be done practical to build commons. This was a predictable path, hopefully the #4opens dialogue is useful for someone so it was not just a mess.

No resources were created for this energy used, worth thinking about that for the composting we need.

I’ve opened a new #4opens issue proposing a bounded experiment, not a solution: a funding system where rules are fixed before deployment and no human makes allocation decisions afterward.

The goal is to explore whether some informal power failures can be reduced.

I opened a discussion about a missing design constraint in #4opens.

How are creators expected to sustain themselves while producing #OpenSource and #Commons aligned work, without reintroducing hidden power or relying on self-sacrifice?

I am treating survival funding as a first-class design problem because it shapes governance, licensing, and organization.

@warmsignull OK account should be active. We had a spam attack a while back and not worked out how to mediate this, so accounts on admin approval at mo till we do. Unite is a space to build #OMN and #4opens sister projects ;)

What could a #4opens world look like? https://hamishcampbell.com/what-duse-a-4opens-world-look-like/ We’re talking about a soft move away from capitalism, not an apocalyptic collapse or utopian leap, but a pragmatic, grounded shift in how we live, relate, and build together in the digital era.

@warmsignull theoretically interesting but practically academic.

1) People need to balance work on practical tools for the present and theoretical tools for a far away world. What's totally missing is the real world tools #OMN so from a question of balance....

2) The #4opens, one is open industrial standards, what is the path to that?

@hamishcampbell you might wanna look at this amigo! #4opens

@librecomms @OpenInfra yes I spotted this a year ago... what do you think is common and what different, they come from completely different directions, so this is an interesting process to work thou.... #4opens

UPDATE 2025 - this is still a to-do list for a path out of the current mess. Look at the hashtag #dotcons #geekproblem #4opens. What is needed for the next 5 years to build an open media web https://hamishcampbell.com/what-is-needed-for-the-next-5-years-to-build-a-open-media-web/

Blaming “the internet” hides the real problem. it’s not “the internet” doing this. The internet — the actual internet — is a set of mostly #4opens protocols, neutral, simple, robust, built for sharing and connecting. What’s keeping people hooked is the #dotcons: the corporate silos, the addictive platforms, the thin veneer of #techshit smeared over the top of an otherwise elegant #KISS architecture.

It’s the platforms, not the pipes.

So what do we do? We #KISS hard stop trusting in any elitist-managed futures. Compost lies using #4opens horizontal networks https://hamishcampbell.com/we-compost-lies-to-build-4opens-rooted-local-horizontal-networks-of-resistance-and-renewal/

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/

By adopting the #4opens, we take a simple step toward creating a decentralised, open, and people-centred internet that empowers people. Outreach text for the #4opens https://hamishcampbell.com/outreach-text-for-the-4opens/
