The fall of the #VisionOnTV reboot based on #PeerTube was a loss for grassroots media and activist history.

Why? Because over the last ten years, many of our most spiky videos, that told the truth about power, protest, and real-world struggle - have been quietly erased from the #dotcons. YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook… one by one, the archives of resistance are disappearing under “content moderation” and algorithmic amnesia.

The #VisionOnTV project was different. It was a piece of the #openweb — a living, federated video commons built on #P2P infrastructure. It held stories that mattered: direct action, environmental defence, social movements, community struggles. It wasn’t perfect, but it worked — messy, transparent, alive.

Now it’s gone. And with it, a piece of our collective memory.

We need to reboot this path while the backups and fragments still exist. This is not nostalgia, more about preserving the roots of grassroots action so we can grow new ones. Without memory, there is no movement. Without archives, there is no accountability.

It’s time to dig, compost, and rebuild.
