The old #mainstreaming is about building equality in our worship of the #deatcult. This is why #fashernista liberal progressivism
is always a problem to compos #KISS

We need to focus on real change and challenge. What does this look like to you?

#Nostr is a classic “me-too” project caught in the #geekproblem loop. It won’t move forward until it learns to value community as core infrastructure.

#Bluesky, meanwhile, is already drifting into the hands of VC-funded #fluffy elitists who turn every commons into a brand. It’s a likely dead-end for real change or challenge — which is exactly why the #mainstreaming, #blocking, #NGO, and #fashernista crowds flock to it.

The #fashernista cycle feeds on attention, novelty, and the absence of grounding. The antidote is the opposite: trust, continuity, and community memory.

Stay messy. Stay grounded. Stay real.

The #fashernista crew take and dispoal anything that starts to grow in the alt.
That’s the pattern: spot the spark, capture it, smooth the edges, and sell it back as lifestyle.

They move fast - faster than we do - and by the time you notice, what was radical has been turned into content, branding, and funding portfolios.

If you’re working on something that matters, an alt tech project, a grassroots network, a commons, mediation before they move in.
Defend your work, your world, and your dreams before they’re commodified into polite irrelevance.

Because make no mistake, it’s happening to something you care about right now.

Don’t try to convince them in the abstract. Show them. If a #fashernista sees a space where the shiny stuff grows on top of real soil, they’ll drift toward it. If a #geekproblem sees a tool that’s simple enough to use but still respects their itch for precision, they’ll tinker. The #mainstreamers won’t join until it looks inevitable, but working prototypes shift the gravity.
