The Reboot Principle

Affinity before scale. Action before legitimacy. Use before platform.

This is how #Indymedia worked before it forgot itself.

A Practical path to rebooting a community of action

1. Start with a small, visible “We”. Not an open call. Not a mailing list. A named affinity cluster of people with shared history or aligned instincts.

5–15 people is ideal.

People who ship things

People who argue honestly

People who don’t need brand permission to act

This group is not representative.
It’s responsible.

Their job is not to speak for anyone, it’s to do visible work others can plug into.
