The #hashtags embody a story and world-view https://hamishcampbell.com/the-hashtags-embody-a-story-and-world-view/ It’s simple #KISS, so please try not to react like a prat about this, thanks.

From my point of view, it needs to start from the raw truth: there is currently no functioning grassroots media. Not in any coherent sense. So before we talk about video, storytelling, or tools, we need to answer the core question:
What is grassroots media? It’s not “content creation.” It’s not “influencer culture.” It’s not another #NGO-funded project selling “voices from below” for grant money.
It’s the messy, local, real-world networks of people using tools to speak, share, and act together outside institutional control #KISS
Rock legend Ace Frehley — Kiss’s original “Spaceman” — has died at 74. The guitarist helped define the band’s explosive sound and look, which had a huge impact on rock music. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2025/10/18/entertainment-news/ace-frehley-kiss-dies/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #culture #entertainmentnews #kiss #obituary #heavymetal #hardrock
THEY CALL ME...DOCTAH LOVE...!!!
Rest in power, Space Ace 🛸🎸🤘
I just don't see how it's coherent.
Isolationism born out of non-isolationism? The one would defeat the other.
And that's not even getting into the assertion of capitalism being isolationist in the first place. It seems like the argument is self-defeating outside of the factual, but to go farther,
Capitalism is born of connection and social environments. Where does the capitol come from? Generally associating with others. Why bother organizing those resources in the first place? To provide value to others. Otherwise there's no value in the capital efforts in the first place.
So it's on two different levels that I find your perspective to be very tenuous. Both in terms of the argument and in terms of the premises that the argument is built on, it seems to fail on both levels.
Engagement with other people is at the heart of what capitalism teaches because transactions with others is both the mechanism and the goal. I don't know what you're talking about to assert otherwise.
Maybe look at the wider hashtag story, as I say it's not #mainstreamin "common sense"
Maybe your assumptions are the problem you're pointing at?
The is #KISS history to this, you can find a simplified view of this history on the site, with links to original sources in places.
Hope this path helps.
Over the weekend @meph added some mind blowing new features to lorapipe.

@cascheranno I agree, #FOSS at its best proves capitalism’s myth false: people don't need greed to create; they need curiosity, care, and community. The #openweb runs truth - code written for necessity and shared purpose, not profit.
We need to push, even with the counter-proof in plain sight, the #geekproblem creeps in - the lack of social thinking in tech. We built open code, but it's often closed in culture. Capital slid back, exploiting that lack of #4opens social clarity in current paths.
#FOSS is still one of the best evidence that cooperation beats competition. But if we don’t compost the blindness in the foundations - the idea that “neutral” tech can stay outside politics - we keep rebuilding the same power structures we thought we’d escaped.
The next step is not only defend FOSS from capitalism, but more to finish the argument: code freedom + social responsibility. That’s what projects like #OMN and #OGB are for.
For 10 years now, people from the Linux side tell me systemd is so much easier and "Unit-Files" are so much cleaner and better than init-scripts ...
Well, I still don't get it. A well implemented init-system like that of FreeBSD is:
- Clean
- Flexible
- Way more lightweight
- Works with just shell code
I have written a rc.d init-script for zigbee2mqtt today and honestly? It's not going to be shorter than that. Would chose that instead of systemd! ANY TIME! K.I.S.S.
10 years in and I still don't see a real advantage of monolithic-binary init-systems with static configuration files.

The solution is not to abandon #FOSS, but to rebalance it. We need to compost the sterile individualism that crept in, nourish the soil with social values - trust, care, shared governance, and humility. The #OMN and #OGB projects try to do this by adding a democratic layer of governance to our infrastructure, bringing social accountability to technical openness.
If we keep it #KISS - simple, human, transparent - we can rebuild code as commons again. Not as ideology solidified into control, but as cooperation solidified into action.
Because yes, software is ideology made machine, but that means it can be reprogrammed.
People fight against or/and ignore the #KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) approach in tech because simplicity exposes power. Complexity, jargon, and process give cover — they make control look like competence. When paths are simple and transparent, everyone can see who’s blocking, who’s hoarding, who’s acting in bad faith. Many “experts” and institutions are emotionally and professionally invested in keeping things complicated; simplicity threatens their authority, their funding, and their identity.

The root problem lies in “common sense” blocking and an intolerance toward the very idea of bridging these divergent paths, hindering progress from both sides. #KISS is a key to democracy https://hamishcampbell.com/kiss-is-a-key-democracy/

The mess we need to compost is the managerial mirage of innovation, where control and image matter more than substance.
Making the people pushing this mess accountable is a useful form of activism.
