Human tech – OMN
The #OMN Framework: the Five Functions (#5f)
To build an #OMN site, we don’t start with platforms, features, or ideology. We start with flows.
Think of the network as a system of pipes and holding tanks, with different connectors at each end. Nothing magical, nothing proprietary. The goal is that every part, in the abstract, is understandable by a reasonably normal human being - not just developers, not just managers, not just “power users”.
This is important: if people can’t […]
Human tech https://hamishcampbell.com/human-tech-omn/ #OMN is rooted in #nothingnew because systems that survive are systems people already intuitively understand.

An example of the mess from #deathcult centrism
Don’t worry too much, the corporate world has solutions, we look here at #ESG which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Its advocates say that if companies disclose enough data about their environmental and social behaviour, “good” corporate conduct will be rewarded by investors with higher share prices.
Let's really look at #ESG, for what they are, #greenwash, a system of delay, distraction, and capture - on this #deatcult path this it is not a mistake, it is a function. […]

Why the #OMN works with #ActivityPub – And why we need a bridge to #p2p
Let's look at this. #ActivityPub is not a product. It’s not even really a “protocol” in the narrow, rigid sense that vertical tech likes to imagine. ActivityPub is a shared vocabulary, a public language for moving meaning and connection across the #openweb. It gives you nouns and verbs, and the community defines the grammar through lived use.
This is why the #OMN works with ActivityPub, a metadata and meaning layer, not a platform, flows, not silos. ActivityPub is the widely deployed […]
Manifesto for the Hashtag Commons
Outreach for the #OMN path, for the past year, the hashtag story has taken shape, not as branding, not as marketing, but as a shared language for navigating the mess we’re in. Each tag is compost: lived experience, memory of struggle, lessons from broken movements, glimpses of collective futures. Together they form a map of where we have been and the ground we are trying to rebuild.
This story is now done enough to act as a tool: a framework that connects all the projects, all the […]

At best, the old #mainstreaming is about equality in worshipping the #deathcult
The old #mainstreaming was only in a limited way about freedom, we now need to focus on what it was about, equality in obedience. Equality in our blinded worship of the #deathcult: growth, consumption, competition, endless mess on a dying planet.
That’s why #fashernista liberal progressivism is always a dead end problem, it plays radical, says radical, but composts nothing. At best, it sells rebellion as a lifestyle. It’s equality inside the system, not about freedom from it.
We’ve […]

The Blockchain Socialist: Self-Destruction as Theory
The Blockchain Socialist podcast is the deluded self-destructive talking about the deluded self-destructive in tech. It’s a mirror of our time: intellectuals dissecting the ruins while still worshipping the same #deatcult gods that caused the collapse.
I am listening to an example of this Urbit - a hardcoded, reactionary dream of order built on decentralization, doomed from the start. Not only because the code is bad, but because the culture is. Control disguised as liberation. Hierarchy […]

Change is Freedom, Change is Life
A post inspired by rereading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dispossessed as a part of the utopia reading group in #Oxford. This book is useful for the students jumping to the next stage of their lives. There’s a moment - often at the end of the teens when people face a choice. To be like everybody else for the rest of their lives, or to make a virtue of their peculiarities.
Most people choose the easy path: they find a nice, safe hierarchy and settle in. They obey the rules, repeat […]

We need more people, to lift their heads, to say, “Not this again, you were wrong last time”? #Techshit Hype – #NothingNewhttps://hamishcampbell.com/techshit-hype-nothingnew/
