Wouldn’t it be something to see this rolled out to people working on free (as in freedom) technology for the common good so we didn’t have to bake in ways of surviving under the current capitalist system into the tech we’re designing just so we can pay the “cost of living?”
“Sustainable” under capitalism has a very different meaning – it means making a profit (even if you’re a not-for-profit) whereas “sustainable” in general has no such connotation.

Why It Matters
If metadata is the new currency, then open metadata is the new commons. Capitalism runs on closed systems — the #OMN runs on shared knowledge and decentralized trust.
This isn’t about perfect tech. It’s about:
Human-scale trust
Community autonomy
Fast, messy, democratic distribution
Real-world resilience
It’s not utopia. It’s compost — and we’ve got the shovels.

The current media system is stacked against us. It’s rigged, exclusive, and hostile to alternatives.
That’s why we need the Open Media Network.
Because without an open, trust-based infrastructure for communication and coordination, we’re just shouting into silos.
Let’s build something different.
Let’s make history — together.

“…any attempt at meaningful #mitigation of the crisis would have to waylay the dominant classes with force & confrontational resolve unlike anything in the common memory or #imagination.” #PostCapitalism#Degrowth
