@hamishcampbell I have answered that the minimum ethical approach for OMN would be to provide guides for people on how to find the resources and how to make a living while contributing.

I have also mentioned that if people are expected to find the information and make sense out of it by digging through multitude of posts and websites, then it ignores the reality that most people don't have time or energy for this. Not that this invalidates the existence of the blog for example.

@warmsignull Did you read the funding work I have done over 30 years... I talk a lot on this subject. (Organic intellectual)

The is no #KISS solution on this path, insisting or pretending otherwise makes more mess to compost... which is your point, you talk about and ignore at the same time.

From my working experiences, the is no simpal or clean path to what you're insisting in pushing in front of the #OMN tool building project.

Please think about what an intellectual, can do to help.

@hamishcampbell Couldn't the same argument be used towards OMN, 4opens and your personal blog?

@warmsignull Nop, the site and #OMN project are practical... you can find this by simply looking back - most of the things I talk about have and might still work.

From practice comes theory, it's the organic intellectual path in practice, read back for meany examples https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=biography

yes, we do need to compost this work #KISS

@hamishcampbell I have suggested one possible solution. However, currently I will not be able to work on it by myself, as I have other responsibilities.

I would be able to work on that only if there are more people involved and the entire work does not fall just on me.

@warmsignull yep, I got that impression early on. So Q. I keep repeating, where are the resources coming from to do the work you prioritise? And more important for the #OMN project - where are the tools to use to do the work... see my last link on funding problems.

We do need focus #KISS

@hamishcampbell The issue here is that ignoring safety and income actively worsens the situation.

Systems that rely on unpaid work don’t just fail to solve power asymmetry, they intensify it.

Which is visible in how open source made it harder for individuals to earn a living while benefiting large corporations.

Unless the “how” of compensation and protection is made a first-class concern, the existence of open source, OMN, and 4opens does not mitigate harm, it amplifies it.

@warmsignull yes, but this is a clean moral judgment. Where at the #OMN we are working on messy material reality. You can't keep sidestepping the Q. where do we find the resources to make that correct moral judgment into something real?

At the #OMN we are about affinity group founding to make the tools to work on this reality #KISS

@hamishcampbell This is a false opposition.

The critique begins from present material constraints such as housing, health, income, and legality.

The issue is that these constraints are treated as personal alignment problems when survivability is deferred.

This post restates the tension without engaging its consequences.

@warmsignull This could cercal for ever and nothing is likely to come from it. So #KISS Q. where do the resources come from to tick the boxes you keep pushing in front of the needed commons building of the #OMN?

Remember: It's okay for your F/OSS project to be finished. You don't have shareholders who need you to grow every year. You don't have customers who need to be persuaded to buy a subscription or a new version every year by marketing-driven features. If it solves the problem that you created it to solve, you have won. You now have some software that solves the problem that you had. You are allowed to stop now.

@Mastodon This is historically not true, you guys are a BRAND whose culture is to #NGO to actually be a respectful member of the "movement". So yes a part, but on the balance of mess and responsibility umm the is stuff to compost and truth telling needed.

A start: use your reach to shout out other #Fediverse projects to show you can be a responsible member #KISS

Most progressive #mainstreaming is about making worship of the #deathcult more fair. There is real everyday value in this, but it does nothing to get people off their knees, it's about rearranging the seating. The project of change and challenge, that the #OMN is in, is about people getting up and walking out of the temple of the #deathcult we all live in #KISS

https://hamishcampbell.com/stories/ These stories embed #OMN theory and practice as a utopian direction of travel, not a technical blueprint. They illustrate a path of doing social change, not a finished model of how it will actually unfold. The reality will always be messier than the stories. It has to be. Real people, real politics, real power, real failure – none of that fits neatly into narrative form.

Use these as tools alongside the hashtag story to invite people in, if they help people understand why we need #OMN paths – and feel able to take a first, imperfect step – then they’re doing a needed job #KISS

Eastern Europe on a Zloty – Kraków to the Balkans

This adventure started out with a peace march. The Global Walk for a Liveable World had already crossed America once - LA to New York in ’89 - while I was drifting through Santa Cruz, not quite sure where the thing would begin or end. I drove across the States instead of walking it, then flew back across the Atlantic. Found out about the second stage in the usual sideways way, a line at the bottom of one of my mum’s Ribbon leaflets.

In March ’91 I rang the organisers in the States to […]

The History of visionOntv: What We Built, What We Lost, and Why It Matters Again

Looking back at the old TubeMogul stats - the archived page from 2011 - I had a jolt:18 million verified views, and when you added the torrent distribution, RSS syndication, video CDROM redistribution, and all the edge-case channels we seeded into, the total was closer to 34 million views. These were big numbers back then.All grassroots, all #KISS, all built on the early #openweb ethos, that number matters, not for vanity, rather, it showed proof-of-work for what a truly decentralized media […]

The internet itself isn’t the problem

Let’s be clear: the internet itself isn’t the problem. We knew how to build decentralised, humane, empowering networks long before the #dotcons turned everything into a behavioural extraction machine. The original internet - messy, permissionless, #4opens by default - can’t addict you. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t optimise. It just connects.

What addicts you are, the enclosure layers built on top of the internet. The sticky walls. The velvet handcuffs. The slick, dopamine-juiced […]
