The OMN with indymediaback and makeinghistory are paths – Hamish Campbell

Without trust and working flows, there’s no value at all, no matter how secure, encrypted, or elegant the tech stack. The #OMN with #indymediaback and #makeinghistory are paths hamishcampbell.com/the-omn-with...

The OMN with indymediaback and makeinghistory are paths On the #OMN with #indymediaback and #makeinghistory paths – We’re not talking about a single bridge, but a **federated ecosystem** , with both #DAT and #ActivityPub running on the same server, sharing a common database of media objects. As the data flows, text and metadata are redundantly stored in the open (#4opens). That way, if one server gets hacked, it can simply be rolled back and restored from the wider pool. #KISS The P2P side works much like #nostr in that it can have a list of flows in and out to servers and can use any of these to **publish and receive media on the#openweb**. The advantage of the #p2p app side is that each local app in a resave for the online servers, which as critics say can be, and will be, taken down some times. Also, they will work in their own right for people who need a more locked down path, and this will be needed in more repressive spaces and times. The clear advantage is this still gives them outflows to the wider #mainstreaming client server media outreach, to what matters, effect, so it ticks both boxes. We aim to solve technical issues with **human-understandable social paths** , not hard tech for its own sake. Yes, in a minority of cases hard tech will be needed – but that’s for the #geeks to solve _after_ the working social paths are clear, not before. We fix problems through #KISS social processes and #4opens transparency, not by defaulting to encryption and lockdown. Hacking is outside the focus scope of the #OMN. What we’re building is about **trust and flows** , not code as an end in itself. Hacking belongs on the #geek paths – useful, but only _after_ the trust and flows are established. The code should be there to secure what’s been built, not to block it before it exists. Without trust and working flows, there’s **no value at all** , no matter how secure, encrypted, or elegant the tech stack. If the campaigns, activism, and people aren’t using it, the system is pointless. And being pointless is something we need to be more honest about. Building for the sake of building, while ignoring the social, community layer, feeds the #geekproblem and starves the movement. * * * ### Discover more from Hamish Campbell Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.

The Mess of Web3: Why #openweb natives should Question the Blockchain Narrative – Hamish Campbell In the ongoing discourse surrounding #openweb and its relation to failing technologies like #web3 and #blockchain, a critical question emerges: why do we readily accept solutions without first defining the problem at hand?

The time has come to break free from the confines of #geekproblem narratives and walk the path toward progress and collective well-being.

As #climatechaos hits, our #mainstreaming politics will move more to the right. As right-wing politics is driven by FEAR, this is the future we need to build for now. #OMN #OGB #indymediaback #makeinghistory

It's hard for our #mainstreaming alt people to understand that what they are building in tech is mostly irrelevant from what is need in alt tech. Ideas please on how to get this across.

Composting needs people with shovels.

Build a bridge or be pointless, or more likely dead in the long term.

#OMN #indymediaback #makeinghistory #OGB are bridges.
